There was a priceless moment on Special Report with Brit Hume last night: They were doing a piece on Iraqis in America voting in advance of Thursday’s parliamentary election and 77-year-old Betty Dawisha “spoke truth to power:”

“Anybody who doesn’t appreciate what America has done, and President Bush, let them go to hell!”

Who would you rather chat with over coffee? Feisty Betty Dawisha or addled Jane Fonda, whose latest psychotic break seems to have swerved her into hating the U.S. military again (hat tip: Michelle Malkin):

Starting with the Vietnam War we began training soldiers differently. In my book I talk about secret meetings I had with military psychologists who were really worried about what was happening to our combat personnel. ‘We’re turning them into killing machines,’ one of them said to me.

…[It’s] critical that we understand that the soldiers are not to blame. How they were trained, how their officers either gave the green light or turned a blind eye to what was happening on the ground is what matters. When you put young people into an atrocity-producing situation where enemy and civilian are commingled, where the ‘other side’ is dehumanized, we cannot be surprised by what these men report in the film.”

…We have not learned the lessons of Vietnam. The returned veterans tried valiantly to tell us what the lessons were, [but] most of us turned our backs. . . . Today the returning antiwar Iraq vets are being called ‘unpatriotic.’ We must listen to what they have to say. [Emphasis mine.]

Unthinking, atrocity loving, killing machines. Just like this guy and this guy (via chantel-lee.com).
