Things have gotten so bad at NBC....

   ....that one of their military analysts [1]has resigned in protest of
   William Arkin's vicious screed toward military members.

     In protest of NBC's lack of action after NBC News military analyst
     William Arkin used his WashingtonPost.com blog to describe U.S.
     soldiers as "mercenaries" enjoying "obscene amenities" for
     ungratefully daring to criticize Americans for not supporting the
     war effort, retired Colonel Ken Allard last week resigned his
     position as a military analyst for NBC News. In a February 16 op-ed
     for the San Antonio Express-News, "NBC sinks too low for this
     talking head," Allard, an "executive-in residence" at the
     University of Texas at San Antonio, regretted that "sometimes the
     only way to show where you really stand is to vote with your feet.
     And so with great reluctance and best wishes to my former
     colleagues, with this column I am severing my 10-year relationship
     with NBC News."

   How much more cowardice and hatred toward America will the average
   person endure before they start taking action? No matter how strong
   someone's doubts about the war might be, the behavior of the haters
   and cowards on the left has to be turning people's stomachs. And
   actions like Col. Allards will get people's attention, even if they
   haven't been paying attention before.
