Andrew Bacevich is a graduate of West Point, Vietnam veteran, holds a Ph.D from Princeton, teaches at Boston University, and is a prolific writer. He is a conservative who has much to share about why war is many times a misguided option. Bacevich’s son was killed in Iraq.
From what I have heard, Bacevich articulates my own view. More surprisingly, Phil Donahue’s view also seems to be similar to mine!
