“The military would do well today to open its ranks not only to legal immigrants but also to illegal ones and, as important, to untold numbers of young men and women who are not here now but would like to come.
No doubt many would be willing to serve for some set period in return for one of the world’s most precious commodities — U.S. citizenship.”
– Max Boot, Feb. 2005, LA Times
We had never actually heard of Mr. Boot until this summer when he appeared on Tucker Carlson, and had the most extraordinary meltdown on that show, with both him and Carlson hurling insults at each other, and Carlson eventually getting the better of him, as Mr. Boot gradually lost his composure.

Mr. Boot is a terrifying example of what passes for a foreign policy expert in the US. He has a full-time job at the Council on Foreign Relations to push psychopathic neocon ideas. It is a sad commentary on our times that men like this have any influence at all in the US.
So it was with interest that we recently stumbled across this article about him from early September by the excellent Steve Sailer in Vdare.com.
Well, well, well, Mr. Boot is actually from Russia! Well who would have guessed? Some good stuff here that really does explain a lot about the mental disease called neoconservativism.
The protagonist of a wonderful Evelyn Waugh novel about moronic journalists, ‘Scoop’ is also named Boot. How apt.
This might be our favorite Tucker Carlson interview ever. You may want to watch it again in case you don’t remember it. It is a doozy.
Lets turn it over to Steve Sailer – who doesn’t really have to write much, he just quotes Boot, and that is quite enough…
