West Point professor urges US military to target war on terror critics

An assistant professor in the law department of the US Military Academy at West Point has argued that legal scholars critical of the war on terrorism represent a “treasonous” fifth column that should be attacked as enemy combatants.

In a lengthy academic paper, the professor, William C Bradford, proposes to threaten “Islamic holy sites” as part of a war against undifferentiated Islamic radicalism. That war ought to be prosecuted vigorously, he wrote, “even if it means great destruction, innumerable enemy casualties, and civilian collateral damage”.

Between this and the New Yorker article on Il Donald, we see how Trump is freeing up cultural space for people to say these things, and feel brave and empowered for doing so.

As an animal lover, my heart goes out.

BUT. I dunno. I feel like this is the boiled frog syndrome, where the New Yorker finds American neo-nazis in suits and ties to extol the virtues of Donald Trump. I think this is not a good thing.
