*I* think this is depressing...and let's NOT take it to napalm --
disagreement, even rude disagreement, is not the same as the idiocy that
pretends to be discussion on napalm.

Bill, I am completely unclear on what your point is here.

I think also there's a confusion: you're saying, "Fight to make the
military better since you can't kill it off," whereas I'm saying that
it's wrong to do something you believe is wrong just because if you did
it, instead of some bloodthirsty goon, it might not be quite as wrong as
otherwise.

We're not disagreeing about facts here.
