   Hartung is just engaging in the usual right-wingnut maudlin weepy   
   sentimentality.  It's nothing but phony patriotism — mock patriotism.   
   Sentimentalists like Hartung have a *need* to believe that American troops died   
   for some vague, emotional reason like "serving our country" or to "preserve our   
   liberties."  It's a bullshit lie.  They died in service to some *interests*   
   that   
   were chosen by men, few of whom were actually principled.  But dying to serve   
   American economic dominance doesn't sound very noble or inspiring, does it?   
   Dying to protect and extend American imperialism doesn't sound any better.  Yet   
   that's the reason they died — *all* of them.   
      
   Hartung is 100% a dupe of his political masters.  They try to conceal what   
   they're doing behind a veil of phony patriotism, and Hartung falls for it every   
   time.  Hartung is a stupid fucking moron, as are all the other knuckle-dragging   
   right-wingnuts.
