Dessicated Twits

Mark Steyn addresses the common media narrative that troops in Iraq are children who need to be brought home:

You don’t honor the dead by basically making their death a worthless sacrifice, you don’t heal the wounded by saying this is yet another war that America lost because of the emotional mawkish exhibitionism of a lot of self-indulgent and desiccated twits back on the home front. This is not how soldiers think. They’re not children. They’re grown men, they’re doing a more grown up job than most of the people bleating back at home. And they deserve real support, not this kind of misplaced nursery teacher coddling that looks cute on a bumper sticker, but it (sic) utterly meaningless.

He also refers to Andrew Sullivan as a "ninny." I think that's an insult to ninnies everywhere.
