"Soldiers are just cowards with their backs against the wall. "

"Soldiers are just cowards with their backs against the wall. The lowest IQ men in our society, those incapable of normal careers enlist. Their choice in life; prison or the military. Some will have to die in the support of our cause."

Ann Coulter – Intervention Magazine 11/06/03

I have been trying to find if this particular quote is true. Anyone got a clue on this one?

1. Who cares if it's real... I DEMAND AN APOLOGY!

Let her explain how she didn't say it.

[solara]

4. Yes!!

:woohoo:

[Maine-ah]

7. it would only be fair

I really want to see the context of the whole thing though. It would be great cannon fodder for us though.

[Hugin]

8. .

I know and I apologize for being a knee-jerk reactionary.

However, I still demand an apology.

;)

[Maine-ah]

And that it gets a lot of play

6. yeah, I have been finding it quoted

but I was hoping for something a little more solid than from what someone said on a message board. Thankyou though!

[BootinUp]

5. hard to imagine even for Coultergiest

:wow:

[Hugin]

9. Not really... After what she said about the 9/11 widows.

She can apologize for that... as well.

13. She was stupid enough to say that there were canadian troops in vietnam.......

so anything is possible.

[Maine-ah]

14. oh, that was too funny! the look on her face was priceless!

[zbdent]

15. I forget the exact text of another of her smacks on the military ...

but something about how they got their hair mussed and are whining about it ... and the media just let her get away with it ...

[tblue37]

23. She told a vet who was an amputee that

guys like him were the reason we lost the Viet Nam War. That on-air comment got her fired from the program she was on.

18. No source yet, but I'll check the library today

The following source is also a blog:

http://yellowcakewalk.net/2006-08-05/

It's a long page, so the Man Coulter article is about 40% of the way down the page.

I'll check the LA Publica Library today for the Intervention article, and post my results soon.

[Maine-ah]

19. cool, thankyou

[Rocknrule]

21. "Some will have to die in the support of our cause"

That has to be one of the most Hitler-esque things she's ever said

24. As much as I'd like it to be true

I can't find a credible source for it.
