Ward Churchill Under Fire Again
Ward Churchill is back in the spotlight, this time with controversial comments about the "fragging" of military officers.
First, his comments:
"Conscientious objection removes a given piece of the cannon fodder from the fray," he said. "Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect."
Churchill denies advocating fragging and defends his remarks:
Reached at his home in Boulder County on Wednesday night, Churchill said the comments were made merely to spark discussion and not to take a position on fragging, which is the killing or injuring of an officer in combat by a subordinate.
He said that his remarks were being taken out of context and sensationalized in an effort to drive him from his job as a CU professor. "I neither advocated nor suggested to anyone, anything," Churchill said. "I asked them to think about where they stood on things."
Update: Ian at the Political Teen has some audio of Churchill's speech.
