It must be comforting in a way to be able to excuse any statement, no matter how divorced from reality, from someone you like.
I imagine it’s much easier to like and trust people if you never hold them accountable for anything.
That's grade school again. "Agree with me or else I'll say you don't because you like someone else!' I just pointed out distortions about 'there was no security' so that gets dropped down the memory hole because it can't be easily refuted, and instead the sneering commences. I support patrtiots. How hard is that to understand?

Why don't you understand the basics of battle? I've never had the honor of serving in the military, but even I 'get' that you don't attack your own soldiers on the battlefield from behind, mid-fight. Accountability, whether it is honor or shame, comes later. Reinforcements are needed when the going gets rough, not demolition and/or calls for retreat statements trying to 'prove' the battle has already been lost.
