...usurpation of the title "war resister" is perhaps the most simplistic distortion of all. For these would-be "war resisters" have simultaneously managed to maintain their ties to the CLA, State Department, and Capitol Hill. Indeed, these men have taken quite a long time to jump on the anti-war bandwagon. Until it became safely fashionable to join the ranks of the war protestors, the professors' concerns were chiefly "business as usual," which business happens to be the genocidal destruction of a small Asian country.
