Jon Stewart, Iraq War Critic, Runs a Program That Helps Veterans Enter TV

The NY Times reports Jon Stewart, Iraq War Critic, Runs a Program That Helps Veterans Enter TV "Instead, the staff of ‘The Daily Show’ developed an intense five-week immersion program to give veterans a crash course in their business, with behind-the-scenes looks at areas including talent booking and editing...He added that the veterans he had hired had been assets and “way less whiny” than most of his hires."

I don't understand why they felt the need to point out (in the headline no less) that Stewart was an Iraq War critic. First, everyone knows that, second, that has nothing to do with supporting veterans. I know people have difficulty separating supporting the war and supporting the troops, but it never made sense to me.
