Is it okay to scapegoat them and deny them essential supplies and equipment?

Speaking of not knowing what I'm talking about, did any of you click on the link before responding and assuming that I was criticizing the military in general? Thanks for being hypocrites. Oops, there goes that criticism again. If only I could be more respectful.

If you had actually clicked it and read through the answers, you'd see that I'm not allowed to call Erik Prince a scumbag because he got some sort of military honor. THAT gives me the idea.

No, we get written up and extra PT all the time to remind us of all the critism whether positive or negative. Most of what the military does is by executing orders so most of the time the blame for our actions lie else where. But we are all taught that we are still individually responsible for own own actions. All though we swear an oath and wear a uniform we are all still human. That means we make mistakes subjecting us to criticisms everyday. So no, we are not beyond criticism whether good or bad.

What does the linked question have to do with the military?? NOTHING, that I can see!
And what gives you the idea that people who served in the military are beyond criticism? Let's not forget that Timothy McVeigh served in the Army and was honorably discharged. And Bush shirked his responsibilities to the Air Guard...

The military is and never was above criticism.
General Douglas MacArthur one of the best WWII generals was criticized then fired by President Truman for advocating in public that we attack China in 1951.
General Patton was widely criticized, lost his Battle command and reprimanded for slapping a private in public during WWII

No.
But too many liberals criticize without any clue as to what they are talking about.
If you are going to criticize - learn something about the subject first.

Nope. Just ask the ones that are in jail for torturing prisoners or killing civilians. They were critisized fairly harshly.
