Fox "news" has a "military expert"

[Archae]

Named Ralph Peters, who has a habit of being the biggest military asshole on that network.

Now he calls that trooper being held by the Taliban a "liar" and a "deserter." :grr:

1. Actually, he goes further than that...

...and stops just short of saying he wouldn't mind too much if the Taliban killed the trooper.

2. Even money Peters is like Fox's other "military expert."

A "major" who in reality never made it out of basic, and Fox "disappeared" him.

Either that or Peters is just another more-gung-ho-than-thou REMF.

4. Here's a brief exerpt from the Lt Col's wiki profile. He's quite a piece of work

Role of United States military

Peters' 1997 article "Constant Conflict"<6> was controversial for this section:

"There will be no peace. At any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe. Violent conflict will dominate the headlines, but cultural and economic struggles will be steadier and ultimately more decisive. The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing.

In a 2009 article for The Journal of International Security Affairs titled "Wishful Thinking and Indecisive Wars" <7> Peters' advocates the ruthless use of United States military power, declaring "If you cannot win clean, win dirty." Peters' also raises the controversial possibility of directing the United States military to attack journalists. Peters writes, "Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media."

He was also a Fox media "expert" who commented on the Dan Rather/Bush NG memo scandal.

He's also a spy mystery writer pimping his pulp fiction on Fox
