But his sadistic savagery doesn&#8217;t stop there. He also accuses critics of the war on terrorism of being a treasonous <em>&#8220;fifth column&#8221;<\/em> who are subject to attack as if they were the same as any other enemy combatants. Those critics include <em>&#8220;law school facilities, scholars\u2019 home offices and media outlets where they give interviews.&#8221;<\/em> Bradford characterized legal scholars as a&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;super-weapon that supports Islamist military operations&#8221; aimed at &#8220;American political will&#8221; to fight. They are supported by &#8220;compliant journalists&#8221; marked by &#8220;defeatism, instinctive antipathy to war, and empathy for American adversaries&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Bradford believes that having dissenting views, particularly those aimed at peaceful resolutions to international conflict, are tantamount to treason. He believes, therefore, that American academics and lawyers who have views that differ from the Masters of War can lawfully be terminated in their homes and offices by military bombing raids. And their accomplices in the media who exercise the constitutionally protected freedom of the press are equally at risk for the same deadly fate. This is a view so perverse that Bradford&#8217;s superiors at West Point are already distancing themselves from his bloodthirsty lunacy saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The views in the article are solely those of Dr Bradford and do not reflect those of the Department of Defense, the United States army, the United States Military Academy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, the National Security Law Journal where Bradford&#8217;s tirade was published is now calling it a <em>&#8220;mistake&#8221;<\/em> and an <em>&#8220;egregious breach of professional decorum,&#8221;<\/em> along with this apology that was posted on their website:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We cannot \u2018unpublish\u2019 it, of course, but we can and do acknowledge that the article was not presentable for publication when we published it, and that we therefore repudiate it with sincere apologies to our readers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is surprising that this slimeball would be employed at West Point in any capacity. Particularly after discovering that he lied about his previous employment as an associate professor at the National Defense University (which NDU denies). Even worse, he was caught stealing the honor of legitimate veterans by claiming to have served in Iraq during Desert Storm and being awarded a Silver Star. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2005\/12\/06\/bradford\" target=\"_blank\">None of which is true<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A far better place of employment for him would be Fox News where he could join <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=1279\" target=\"_blank\">the reprehensible Lt. Col. Ralph Peters<\/a> as a strategic analyst and contributor. Peters has long held that the killing of non-combatants, women, children, allies. and even our own troops, was justifiable in war. He believed that the U.S. would be irresponsible if it did not adopt the tactics of our enemies, atrocities and all. And his barbaric philosophy also included support for military attacks on the media saying&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;the neo-pagans who dominate the media serve as lackeys at the terrorists\u2019 bloody altar. [&#8230;] Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bradford and Peters share the same noxious disregard for humanity. Their open indifference to murdering the innocent, and especially their fellow Americans who happen to be lawyers, educators, and journalists, ought to be sufficient to banish them to the fringes of society with the rest of the depraved vermin who lust for another holocaust. They certainly should not be teaching at West Point or bloviating on television.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>News Corpse Presents: The ALL NEW 2nd volume of<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Conservative Society of Slobbering War Mongers has a new hero today in the form of freshly minted West Point Academy professor.
