    In a war full of outrageous stupidity from start to the current state of affairs, I do believe this may be the dumbest and most counterproductive decision I've seen yet.

    Way to go boys. Be proud of the fact you just condemned hundreds if not thousands of men and women to death.

    No, the worst ones were made early on.

    If you consider the planning phases, you would be correct.

    jkm - good luck to you, you are doing the right thing.

    This is so dumb, it's really criminal, and probably whomever made this decision should be charged with negligent homicide.

    If nothing happens officially, maybe you can send it to Comedy Central so they can do a piece on it for the Daily Show? Best place to go for the responsible to be subject to the public scorn and ridicule that they richly deserve.

    jkm's reaction is stong.

    I fully support it.

    Unfortunately, we're dumb...We have yet to mature as an instution as far as we would wish to consider.

    Fortunately, there will still be O's and E's here that follow orders.

    Regardless of the friends that we lose from those that refuse to consider.

    All the way...

    v/r

    O's and E's do not have to follow illegal orders, and they can disobey orders and regulations that are OBE by facts on the ground.

    I see this particular order as qualifying under both counts.
