I don't much like his "You work for us, so STFU" attitude towards the military, and I think he is wrong to somehow suggest that they don't have it all that bad in Iraq.
I think he's pissed because: (a) the Army probably manipulated the situation to create this "story" and (b) he disagrees with those soldiers' substantive position that, essentially, if you don't support the Administration's policy you don't "support the troops."
I think that the position enunciated in the article he discusses are simplistic and wrong. That said, those folks are entitled to have and express their opinions just like the soldiers interviewed who say "This situation is all fouled up." He has no business taking a "How dare they" point of view.
