David Brooks' Son Serves in the Israeli Military.

Interesting that it never came up in The Conversation.

(Color me not surprised.  It makes more sense when you consider Brooks is one relieved that American lives are being protected by America's continued military presence in the region...  Still, ethical journalism should require Brooks disclose this fact, if he is to continue advocating for American intervention abroad.

I wonder too, if in their continued quest to provide ideological and class diversity, that The Times might consider hiring a Hispanic mother whose son serves in the U.S. Armed Forces.  Her perspective on military matters might differ from Brooks', and be more representative of Americans here at home, outside of New York City and Washington D.C., where Brooks recently revealed he lives now.)
