Not a big fan of the AP

when they try to score points like this one. Obviously, this war is just like Vietnam! What's up with the whole "mounting death toll in Iraq" business? Does 1,000 dead (and a friggin' victory!) compare to 60,000? Anyway, someone who applies for West Point without the thought that they might end up in combat shouldn't waste their time anyway. I don't want them there. Particularly annoying is this quote:

Of two recent West Point dropouts who spoke on the condition of anonymity, one
cited disenchantment with Army life and the other said Iraq was a major factor
in his decision. "I didn't want to be deployed in a war I didn't believe
in," he said.

Uh, you're supposed to follow orders, moron. You signed away your right to dissent when you got your free education and invitation into manhood by entering the Academy. I hope they make that SOB pay big time - especially since he got something many people would give their left nut for.
