...including the war.

But I'll give Gary Trudeau a prop and a High Five for this one.

That is all.

Trudeau's quotidian political observations rankle me a bit, but he's forgiven. He has historically stuck with the troops even when he was sticking it to the Green Machine--some of his Vietnam 'toons were borderline vicious--and he ripped the NLF a new one when Nguyen Van Phred appeared in the strip...

He not only researched - he did it at the source, not second hand. I've struggled with his Doonesbury cartoons at many times over the years, but he deserves kudos for his actions!

One other thing to recall. Note in the article that Trudeau did research before he did his story line. In other words, he got information first rather than simply starting to throw opinions around like rocks, heedless of who they hit.

IIRC, Trudeau has been quite generous and supportive to veterans and current warfighters, giving to Troop Support charities, and such.
