<p>It’s; hard to contribute when half the posts have nothing to do with the topic at hand. It kind of reminds me of when Tom Tancredo, a darling of the White Nationalist movement in the United States claims he’s looking for a Jack Bauer to solve problems and the only mainstream candidate in the field who opposed torture was McCain, the only real military hero in the bunch. (Which is why he won’t win the primary). </p>
<p>I think that in some sectors of the military, which probably are the minority, there is this attitude that international laws regarding war crimes are irrelevant. You only have to search previous posts by people with an average of 10 posts a day over the last year to see those comments.</p>
<p>It doesn’t make much sense as to why those who don’t want to discuss the topic at hand feel the need to interrupt. Let those, like bedhead, and opie, discuss along with me and YOU don’t post on the thread. It reminds me of those people on college campuses who shout down speakers they don’t like instead of opening a dialogue or simply not getting attending or joining in on the discussion.</p>
