Y'know something Faultline.. People have the right to spout this kind of crap in the midst of a war... But the very fact that the owner of that website is not facing Federal sedition charges and not in custody at the moment effectively disproves the point that he's claiming to make. Criticism is one thing, but we all know when to soften or stifle it, not for fear of legal repercussions, but OUT OF COMMON COURTESY, and understanding that people's lives are at risk. What it shows is a complete lack of decency, just as some here have referred to soldiers as "serial killers". Even the "America First" movement prior to WWII knew that eventually you had to "get on board" the train for the good, and out of respect for, others who were risking their lives... This is like heckling police officers during the middle of a stand-off... Or like someone criticizing a paramedic's talents/intentions, while trying to save a victim's life... Can ANY ONE OF US claim to not have stifled a criticism of others because we knew it would not be helpful, or would sound like an "I told you so"?? Constructive criticism, yes.. Indecent and inflammatory criticism, no... Which begs the question as to why you found it relevant, or appropriate to give this website any form of visibility/credibility? Hawk
