Sadly, Chris Hayes is emblematic of the political left, and seems to be speaking out loud what many of them truly feel, and Hayes is a typical liberal product of liberal education (via American Power through The Daley Gator)
CHRIS HAYES: Thinking today and observing Memorial Day, that’ll be happening tomorrow. Just talked with Lt. Col. Steve Burke [sic, actually Beck], who was a casualty officer with the Marines and had to tell people [inaudible]. Um, I, I, ah, back sorry, um, I think it’s interesting because I think it is very difficult to talk about the war dead and the fallen without invoking valor, without invoking the words “heroes.†Um, and, ah, ah, why do I feel so comfortable [sic] about the word “hero� I feel comfortable, ah, uncomfortable, about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism: hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I’m wrong about that.
Yeah, like those heroes who formed a new nation, fought to keep our nation, and jumped in to save the world during two world wars, among others.
Daley Gator: Good Grief! Could there be a better example of educated beyond your hat size than this buffoon? Education without any wisdom is worthless.
