Re: Said's article...
Date: Mar. 10th, 2003 10:13 am (UTC)When it comes to NPR, I'm always at least a little disappointed in them any more. Even 10 years ago they had a much more independent voice, and what sponsorship they had was very much primarily from foundations, not from ADM, Stupidmarket to the World. They had MANY more personal essayists contributing, and I would never have thought they'd have the mindless "this is the life of the military man/wife awaiting deployment" crap I've heard TWICE in the last week. What the fuck is that about, anyway? Implied vaguely patriotic reverence for the plight of the soldier's family, including endorsement of the duct tape and plastic nonsense (because we're all legitimately scared in our suburbs and SUVs, especially if we live near a military base)? I'm all for the soldier, in my way, but the best thing that could happen for people in the military is a realistic public understanding of the cultured of the armed services AND a more equitable economic life that would make the choice of joining up only one of a number of ways to make a living, live on your own, and finance an education.
But I'm just blathering on now.
