More than the usual quantity of emails presuming a) the Ledeens never risked their lives for their country, and b) somehow people with military experience have special authority on the subject of war and peace. I usually write back and ask them if they think that Hitler–who was wounded in the First World War–has special standing for them. And then I encourage them to read The War Against the Terror Masters, in which I said it was the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time, and predicted the current situation.
