The latest lefty bugaboo tie-in comes from – big surprise – the WJS's OpinionJournal:

No doubt many people enter the military and successfully overcome troubled lives. But it also occurs to us that increasing the quality of military recruits would probably help avoid future Abu Ghraibs. One constructive step toward that end would be for elite universities to drop antimilitary policies, so that the military would have an easier time signing up the best and brightest young Americans.

Yep. The problems at Abu Ghraid were caused by a lack of quadra-ocular academics in the military. If only more of those fancy-pants intellectual elites were in the army, they'd provide the kind of lofty moral principles that are so obviously absent. Of course, academia is overflowing with useless liberal claptrap: apparently, just what the military needs more of. Here's a simple solution: when you wage a war, make sure it's not complete bullshit. I guarantee that smart people will enlist in droves.
