"The heart of every man in our platoon
must swell with pride..."

by Ron Hogan

youjpg.jpgA lot of the political blogs are all over this one: Micah Ian Wright, creator of the antiwar posters collected in You Back the Attack! We'll Bomb Who We Want! lied about being a U.S. Army Ranger, an untruth which figured prominently in earlier press attention to him and his Propaganda Remix Project.

This, frankly, sucks, since the last thing critics of the Bush administration's policy need is credibility problems. On the other hand, if Wright's statements on his home page about getting death threats are true, that sucks even harder. People need to develop some perspective.
