Paterson on Refusing to Go to Saudi Arabia
I was infuriated that you published Paterson’s traitorous perspective on military service until I realized, as I’m now sure you did, too, that it will do more to promote loyalty to our country, our countrymen and ourselves than all the Fourth of July rhetoric and flag-waving.
This has got to be a classic in positive fallout from freedom of negative expression. Keep it up, Cpl. Paterson and The Times. You’re both doing fine. Patriotism is alive and well.
