Not just one, not two, but three solid responses from letter-writers about Mary Washington Professor Thomas Johnson’s opinion column with regards to how America’s soldiers are trained – and how that training reflects on American values (specifically obedience, humility, and self-sacrifice) he believes to be undesireable and contrary to individualism.
Most of this morning’s criticism seems to center around the idea that Johnson was promoting his new book. Fair enough, though I honestly believe he was trying to make a point. My thoughts on this have already made the rounds and may just inspire a column of my own — perhaps.
