"This is a thread about how Lynch was tortured by the enemy and you want to focus on the condition she kept her weapon, that's bashing in my book."

You have a very strange definition of bashing. Her capture certainly was preventable. What do you want me to do? Have a big giant cryfest about how awful it was? It was awful. But I look to see how to prevent this from happening in the future.

It's not nitpicking. Notice how the 3ID or the 1MEF didn't have this sort of Charlie Foxtrot? Did the lone officer and senior NCOs know the tactical dangers of entering the town, not once, but twice?

Nah, it's the same as the press does to Reagan. He won the Cold War and yet all the press focuses on is AIDS or something.

You look how to nail something on her on as thread that shows how much she had to endure to survive. The weapons story is months old, this is new. We can't have people think of what she had to go through to survive, can we, we have to dig up months old stories about weapons breakdowns that we've already covered ad-nauseum. Rather could make the same claim as you. He could say he's just telling the news, but he's not just telling the news when he only focuses on things that make Republicans look bad, he's bashing Republicans.

It's not nitpicking.

Yep it is.

I'm sure it was covered a few months ago. Let's keep talking about it for another six months. And let's only mention it on threads that aren't bashing Lynch to turn them into threads that do bash Lynch.
