Dean’s another of the ‘college-educated’ urban paragons who take our standard of living for granted, while keeping up a social barrier against those who enable it by working for a living, particularly military personnel. On account of that social shield, it’s likely that he doesn’t personally know anyone serving. Among the lefties who live in the NPR ghettos around State capitals and universities, that’s the normal state of affairs.
But he has to be hip! Nothing is more hip in said ghettos than their ‘60s political triumphs over US military efforts in SE Asia. Enter the brother, personally swallowed up in the quagmire as an anti-military ‘fact-finder’ with activist credentials. Well, there’s Mr. Dean’s connection - doesn’t anti-military have the word ‘military’ in it?
