@jpodhoretz i don't get the last part. We're supposed to be concerned about how dishonorably discharged people look back on their career?

@jpodhoretz For those that know the true meaning of sacrifice, this is so pathetically unintelligible.

@jpodhoretz @benshapiro It's hard to leave the military in a less honorable fashion than desertion

@jpodhoretz who the hell wrote that and how are they allowed to drive a car. Someone that stupid should be monitored at all times

Update:
Well, how do you like that? As commenter Pat_Loudoun points out, the passage in question seems to have disappeared from the Times’ article online. Without any sort of acknowledgment of the omission, natch.
Another stellar performance, New York Times!
