Robert Dorr, MRFF Ally and Columnist, Dies at 76
The Air Force Times reported that Robert F. Dorr, a prolific author and columnist for the Military Times papers, died on June 12th.
A self-described opinion columnist who eschewed the title “journalist”, Dorr’s non-book work was described as pro-military but politically liberal. He was no stranger to controversy, calling for the closing of Guantanamo, the repeal of DADT, and even shutting down the Air Force as a whole. His apparent desire to advocate for the “little guy” sometimes made his counter-authority articles popular.
Dorr was also no friend to military religious freedom. He once said the US military needed to throw out those
who can’t keep religion and duty in their separate places.
He explicitly and unapologetically called for “an anti-religion push” within the US military.
Given his bluntly stated ideology, Dorr was a natural fit for Michael “Mikey” Weinstein’s anti-Christian crusade, which Dorr endorsed in 2012 — much to the delight of Weinstein and Chris Rodda. Of course, Dorr repeated much of the MRFF propaganda without critique, making the relationship between Dorr, Rodda, and Weinstein a somewhat circular self-licking ice cream cone.
Though he continued to write books, Dorr last contributed to the Air Force Times in 2013, shortly after he waved the flag for the MRFF.
He was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor late last year.
Dorr was 76.
