Um, technically speaking, I was a military soldier (well, sailor) who served in TWO foreign wars, and that experience left me more convinced than EVER of the "wait and see" approach.
Hence, why I apply the chickenhawk label to Magog. If Willingham was an Iraq war vet, as he portrays Magog as being, I might give it a bit more credence, but as it stands, he comes across like a non-serving neo-con who makes his pet character a vet to confer an artificial air of authority to his AMERICA FUCK YEAH opinions.
