TAKING A 2x4 TO THE METAPHORICAL HEAD OF VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

Ouch! At The SWJ Blog, LTC. Bob Bateman, the military historian who debunked the No Gun Ri "massacre" myth from the Korean War ( and thus, no Lefty), savages Victor Davis Hanson. Brutal. I wonder if Hanson will feel forced to respond?

Hat tip to Dave Dilegge.

ADDENDUM:

Yep, he did

Dave Dilegge informs me that he has temporarily pulled the link to Bateman but suggested this one at HNN. Sorry for any inconvenience to readers.

Thanks for flagging this. Having now read Bateman's piece and Hanson's reply, I'm firmly with Hanson so far. It's going to be interesting to see how he deals with Bateman's comments on the Punic wars.

As much as I deeply loathe Hanson, I think that Bateman is being unfair and vindicative.
