From the AP: "An emotional Brooke Baldwin apologized Wednesday
for suggesting that soldiers who become police officers after returning
from war are "ready do do battle" and contribute to the unrest in
cities like Baltimore.
"I absolutely misspoke," Baldwin
said on CNN's "New Day" Wednesday morning. "I inartfully chose my words
a hundred percent, and I just wish, just speaking to all of you this
morning ... I wholeheartedly retract what I said.
She did not "inartfully" choose her words, as she claims. Her words
reflected her opinion. And that's what needs to be examined.
Generalizing about veterans' behavior is just as dangerous as generalizing about the behavior of an entire race of people. Certainly some people in every group are rogues...but statements like these --especially from the media -- are outrageous.
