#1 To a darkly humorous degree, all this reflects the Freudian terrors leftists feel when confronted with men who don't have concave chests.

Ka-boom.

#2 The "new" lepers? I thought treating our veterans as such has been en vogue on the left for the past 40 years.

#3 I think we need a contest to come up with a descriptive term along the lines of racist, sexist, or homophobic when people display an irrational guttural hatred of our folks in uniform. Other than the term Democrat, because that would be redundant. A new 'ist' term to be more specific.

#9 I don't think the Times will really be happy until one of them walks in there and shoots up their newsroom...

#10 You have to read IowaHawks piece today about media vets. Media Vets

Unrelated incidents, or mounting evidence of that America's newsrooms have become a breeding ground for murderous, drunk, gun-wielding child molesters? Answers are elusive, but the ever-increasing toll of violent crimes committed by journalists has led some experts to warn that without programs for intensive mental health care, the nation faces a potential bloodbath at the hands of psychopathic media vets.

LOL! These reporters have been dishing it out for years, I hope they are ready to take it because there is no doubt in my mind it is going to come their way.

Personally, my take on it is that the reporters are jealous. They used to think themselves the tough cool guys, then the studly vets came home. Rather than admire and thank the vets, like most secure American males are happy to do, these reporters see them, then look in the mirror and realize that they are everything they are not.

#13 On a brighter note NYT stock has lost 70% of it's value in the last four years.

Pinch leadership.
