Ted: There's no reasoning with this sort of willful ignorance. Noting that
the JSF (which I work on) has absolutely *no* design features in it to
attack civilians and that the military in general maintains (and generally
succeeds in) a policy of not targeting civilians is never going to change
the minds of those who maintain an irrational and unthinking hatred of the
military. Perhaps if the military were to simply stop protecting this crowd
and let nature take its course, they might discover that they actually
*like* having a military standing on a wall, putting their lives at risk and
saying "Nobody is going to hurt you on *my* watch".

And now (having fanned the flames myself) lets make a pitch to once again
*NOT* start political debates on C.L.A. Its quite obvious that all of us
here are going to have different political ideas and that this is *NOT* the
place to start discussing them. I'd suggest that we should avoid whatever
temptations there are to throw out provocative statements aimed at insulting
a fair number of people here (remember that many of us *do* work for the
military and don't think that we're a bunch of baby-killers and resent being
labeled that way). If anyone out there "loathes" the military, please go
into your closet and shout "I LOATHE THE MILITARY" until you are hoarse and
get it out of your system and then come back here to discuss Ada.
