Eric Yost writes, in response to something I'd said:
"Our military is very skilled at restraint. It's a protocol. The exceptions
are scandals. Therefore one may assert that trying 'to find alternatives
before firing the first shot' is a routine function of the US military."
I think that's exactly right, so I'm not sure why Eric saw it as qualifying his
agreement?
