The Passion of Mike Gravel

by Will Wilkinson on July 23, 2007

“The only thing worse than a soldier dying in vain is more soldiers dying in vain.”

 And he meant it.

I don’t care what the post-debate polls say about you, Mike Gravel.

  • Tamfang
    An alternate hypothesis, not incompatible, is that soldiers were invented because (to paraphrase Cerebus the Aardvark) you can't conquer squat with women & children.
  • I think that one thing worse than a solider dying is a bunch of women and children dying.

    Widespread agreement to this is one of the large societal reasons that soldiers were invented.
  • Though I should hope you care about his support for nationalizing health care the Kyoto protocol. Though to be fair he's surprisingly good on most other things.
