kholt, What part of my statement did you not understand? Whether the media brought the situation to the public's attention, or that it was meant to embarrass Bush?
Now, I'm a little confused about the end of your post. You seem to indicate that the daughter is also in the army. If that is true, she should be punished for telling her mother about something that was a military affair. I'm sure that you noticed that the son did not go crying to his mommy, so his sister had no business butting into his business.
It was a life, or death, situation, only if those soldiers had been forced to go on a mission with defective equipment. Naturally, the military has started an investigation, as they should, to determine if the equipment was really dead lined, or if the commander of that unit took it upon himself to refuse to send his command on a mission. If the equipment was ready to go, and a commander did such a thing, he should be up for court martial.
It is true that I do not like the MSM, because of evident bias, but some restraint should have been used in their case, until the details of the operation were known. If the daughter is, indeed, a member of the military forces, and went sobbing to her momma, she is not fit to wear the uniform, and deserves a court martial. The military can only train a boot so far, but cannot expect a soldier, male or female, to lose their cool, and call home to momma. There was a time that would have never happened.
In the final analysis, the daughter is to blame for setting this fire. She should have stayed home, and tended to her knitting. |
