Much as I don't agree with most of Trog's views, I don't have the vehement dislike for him that some in this community seem to have. From what I can tell from his posts, Trog hates America's military interventions, regardless of who's in the Oval Office. If Romney were President (and likely doing similar things), Trog would be bashing him just as hard.

If anything, maybe you could blame those right-wing fuckwads for Trog being an ex-pat. They're the ones who wheel out the phrase "America - love it or leave it" when someone criticises what they like about government. I guess he took that advice to heart.

He's one of the more ideological consistent members of the community, that's for sure.

To your first point, IA. I do wonder, however, if Ron Paul had been elected and didn't immediately pull all US troops out from everywhere how he would react.

To your second point, Trog finds it much easier to be an armchair revolutionary and pointificate about change than to stay in the trenches and fight for change.
