The Contribution Editor to the American Conservative has an essay in the Washington Post for Memorial Day weekend:
I Lost My Son to a War I Oppose. We Were Both Doing Our Duty.

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

How he can bare the burden I don't know.
May he find peace, somehow.
Sad. I wish Mr. Bacevich the best.
vLike Mr. Bacevich, I'm certain the war in Iraq is the wrong war being waged for the wrong reasons. But I have nothing but respect for his son. He no doubt had the same information as the rest of us yet chose to believe in the cause and die for it.
I'd also like to wake up one day and discover I was wrong about the Bush administration, that they acted in good faith with no other agenda than the protection of our country.
Very sad. My prayers are for Mr. Bacevich.
It is my understanding that the troops in Iraq having seen the enemy are convinced they are fighting the absolute face of evil, in Afghanistan also.
Al Qaeda's latest torture chamber, where people were held months, and tortured, for no conceivable military or intelligence reason, including a 14 year old boy, just got busted in Iraq. In Afghanistan, teachers of girls are killed before their families by Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
THAT is the evil that the Late Lt. Bacevich fought, and I for one am eternally grateful to his courage for fighting it.
...FACTION's latest torture chamber, where people were held months, and tortured, for no conceivable military or intelligence reason, including a 14 year old boy...
This applies to every faction in Iraq.
Including our own.
Rast wtf? The US is waging this war as humanely as possible. In fact, that may be why we're not making headway. You sir, are an idiot. Dan
Abu Ghraib much, Dan? They never did release all the pictures from that, did they? Of course, that was an abberation -- the part where the soldiers created photographic evidence of their own wrongdoing, anyway.
Waging a less humane war wouldn't "win" it (what is the definition of victory in Iraq these days, anway?), but simply kill more Iraqis and make the surviors hate us even more than they already do. A much, much, much less humane war (AKA the Gary Brecher Strategy, AKA genocide) would solve our Iraq problem, though it might create other problems. Is that what you advocate?
Yes, moral equivalence, brilliant concept. Let me tell you how to apply it to the Cold War,
