I told you what I was told, LTC West lost his discipline, that doesn't imply he was never or is no longer disciplined. You said, "But the overall consensus is that he can no longer lead, he failed to set the standard and lead by example."
But he's still diciplined, he just can't lead.
Ok.
I never told you the troops think he should have let the detainee go unthreatened. Quit trying to add words to my statement.
I just plugged in the words that had to be there to make sense out of the troops' syllogism. If the consensus is that he can't lead and lost his dicipline, and he lost such dicipline by frightening the collaberator as he did, then the only thing he could have done is not do what he did because he got no results until he did what he did. Therefore, he might as well have let the callaberator go.
No he simply could have used the information he already had and let the real interrogators do their job. Interrogations sometimes take more than 1 trip to the room. (Please don't come back with that crap about high pressure Johnny on the spot decision he "had" to make, because it wasn't and he didn't)
You are truly boring me with your "plugging" in things that make it fit for your frame of reference. Before this exchange I held some regard for your ability to debate. Now I believe you're no better than a liberal who injects outrage to an argument because they infer a slight were none exists.
Have fun pestering someone else.
Don't try your tricksy hobitses logic on ISPY4U. He won't fall for it.
