Nuts Projecting

Reid accuses GOP of playing politics with Bergdahl. Brandon Friedman (who hates speculation) speculates that Bergdahl’s platoon mates were all psychopaths. Used to be, I wasn’t so aware of psychological projection, but it’s been so painfully obvious for so long, now I see it every time. All these followers of the Great Liar are saying plainly what they’re doing. Reid is playing politics with Bergdahl. Friedman’s “platoon mates” are all psychopaths.

Info gleaned on Friedman from Ace morning thread (a great resource):

Shreveport, BA History LSU, Masters of Public Affairs UT Dallas.
Officer 101st Airborne Afghanistan and Iraq, author of “The War I Always
Wanted.”

Commenter: “Must think he knows his psychopaths pretty well.”

One of my favorite comments:

“I am sincerely curious. How do you grow up in life and become someone like Brandon Friedman? Honestly, how do you get [to] the point where someone will say to you, ‘Ok, this is getting out of hand, go post on Twitter that the platoon is full of psychopaths’ and you say, ‘Ok, I’ll do it.’ I have no comprehension on how you can grow up to have that little personal honor.” (Dave in Fla)

Friedman’s book “The War I Always Wanted” is a personal tale of his experience becoming disillusioned with war and the military… “Army Times and Military Times loved his book, described as angry and cynical … that there is your leadership”
