Talk:William S. Lind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should there be any mention of him favouring monarchies for the west? --Purpleslog 21:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
...or suggesting that US Generals should do a coup against the US gov? --Purpleslog 23:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chickenhawk argument?
This comment seems a little suspicious and a bit out of place:
Like most of the Bush administration, he has no
real military experience, and has never served
in the US Armed Forces.
First of all, what does the Bush administration have to do with Lind? Is he a member of the Bush administration? Secondly, it is not relevant to the section of the article I found it in. Finally, this sounds like a classical chickenhawk argument. Yes he never stuck his hand in a pile of goo that was a moment ago, his friend's face but the military seems to take his word. He does give lectures for Israeli military academies after all, and those people don't screw around when it comes to their national defense.72.195.158.95 18:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Mike Logos
Yeah, Lind is not part of the Bush administration. --Purpleslog 13:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Monarchies? Coup?
I have not heard of this, but I'm not all that knowledgeable on Lind. If you have sources to back this up, you should add that information to the article and in greater detail.72.195.158.95 18:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Mike Logos
I was too lazy to look up the links when I first mentioned it (my bad).
Here is the Monarchy Link --> http://www.d-n-i.net/lind/lind_8_01_06.htm
"Of course, like all real conservatives, I am a monarchist."
Here is the Coup Link --> http://www.d-n-i.net/lind/lind_8_10_06.htm
"Let us hope that, unlike von Paulus, our commanders know when to get out, regardless of orders from a leader who will not recognize reality."
The Coup thing is kind of vague, just snuck at the end of an article. I read it over and over. I think he is calling for the General to do just do their own thing. I whish Lind had wrote more precisely in one direction or the other. --Purpleslog 13:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think evaluating Lind's writing might be a violation of Wikipedia guidelines on the use of Primary sources here: Wikipedia:No original research, another source on Lind's political beliefs should be found. KAM 14:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't looking to evaluate Lind's writings (pro or con) so much as just note some beliefs as part of his profile. I am keeping this in talk until this is sorted out.
