Mercenaries or heroes?
Michelle Malkin profiles three American soldiers -- heroes all -- who willingly served, fought and died for you and me.
It's a sharp rebuke to Washington Post military affairs expert William Arkin, who called our troops "mercenaries."
Malkin writes:
What do you call these troops, William Arkin?
Not "mercenaries."
Not "arrogant and intolerant."
The word is "patriots."
Patriots.
In our house, we thank God for them every night.
Please, read about Marine Sgt. Joshua J. Frazier, Seaman Manuel Ruiz and Marine Cpl. Jennifer M. Parcell.

Absolutely sickening. What hope can we have for our nation when the only intolerance permitted is that which is aimed at members of the armed forces, traditional values, and the very institions and upon which the union was founded?
50 years ago Arkin would have been an outcast in all social circles for spouting venom at the defenders of our liberty. Today, it appears that only lone bloggers screaming into silence are capable of seeing the repugnant nature of his work.
