Actually, I think he did the apology thing so he didn't get pounded by liberal co-workers. Most conservatives think that hating a war is the same being against the men & women fighting in it.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

Its a little much, he's trying to place a fundamentally absolutist argument (as was the case for war at best, and then wrap it up in a kind of moral relativism to make it appear PC. Thats generally the case with most PC stuff, but I personally advocate that we totally ignore the whole idea of political correctness.
Its a complete fallacy, in truth, it does not exist, there are merely only peoples opinions. The reasons for them believing in their opinions bares no relation to their actual argument, and thus logically, it holds as much water as ad hominem arguments.
One should take his position to be moral relativist by default (I know thats a contradiction in terms, but view it in context of my own opinions and my right to express them), by emphasising the fact, perhaps that is showing a degree of insecurity about his own opinion."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

My question was not why doesn't everyone feel compelled to praise soldiers, but how in hell could anyone find an insult in literature praising soldiers?:-p

Well I chose to find supporting the troops offensive, and I don't care who that pisses off. Political correctness is stupid."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."
