will confirm for people in Los Angeles who stopped reading the LATimes a long time ago that they’re doing the right thing still (though yes Jonah’s column and a new libertarian editor makes it more tempting):

I’m not advocating that we spit on returning veterans like they did after the Vietnam War, but we shouldn’t be celebrating people for doing something we don’t think was a good idea. All I’m asking is that we give our returning soldiers what they need: hospitals, pensions, mental health and a safe, immediate return. But, please, no parades.
