NPR Celebrates Chicom Army

If only useless bureaucrats would just flush the excess money they expropriate from us down the toilet. Instead, the loot is flushed down less appealing receptacles such as NPR.
Mona Charen reports trying to listen to what our money is spent on:
I haven't listened to NPR in a while. So glad to see they haven't changed. At the top of hour news roundup this morning I heard this tease: "The largest army in the world turns 80 today. We'll go to China to celebrate." Celebrate? Can you imagine that NPR would mark the anniversary of the US Marine Corps or Army with the word celebrate?
Were the soft-spoken Stalinists at NPR celebrating the American soldiers killed by the People's Liberation Army during the Korean War? Or were they celebrating the 70 million or so potential counterrevolutionaries who were liquidated after it brought Mao Zedong to power? Most likely they were just following the reflexive liberal practice of siding with evil wherever they find it.
Naturally NPR exploited the opportunity to portray America as the more militaristic country, with claims that China spends 1/47th of what the USA does on each soldier, and that its defense budget is less than 10% of our own.
On a tip from V the K.
