Max Boot Is Beyond Smug

Neal Freeman has a good piece in The American Conservative about Max Boot. At the outset of the article, Freeman notes the following:

Max Boot first came to public notice, or at least to mine, during the run-up to the Iraq war. He had persuaded a television producer somewhere to label him a “Defense Expert,” which, in the natural order of things, caused some people to mistake him for a defense expert. He had never been involved in even minor military operations himself, but he seemed uncontained in his enthusiasm for military operations involving other people.

Regarding Boot’s column at The Washington Post, Freeman writes that “[t]he Max Boot beat is still a bit undefined, but it seems to highlight his ad hominem attacks on former friends and associates from his secret Republican career.”

Boot is horribly obnoxious and self-righteous.
