Guantanamo- Intense hypocrisy, trying combatants for War Crimes

[Logan13]

No, thats not how I feel at all. I was forced to defend myself because I was told I have no place commenting to people who have served on the battlefield, as if my opinion was inconsequential because I chose a different path in life. Then, I was told that I shouldn't voice my opinion on a due process/Constitutional issue and shouldn't presume to know more about the issue than someone who was on the "battlefield." The truth of the matter is the "battlefield" has nothing to do with the issue of a bullshit trial where the rules are being made up as we go, so as to convict these people regardless of certain issues.

So since Logan took the issue to the point of credability and credentials, that is why I responded the way I did, and rather rudely, because I feel as though I'm being attacked and marginalized because im "just a college student," and living my life "oh so comfortably" while people are serving for me. Well, thats bullshit, BOTH opinions matter, but when credability is challenged I merely pointed out that I most likely have a lot more knowledge about politics in general than someone who has a high school education and 13 weeks of basic training.

As I stated, everyone deserves an opinion, but each opinion must be weighted differently.

Ok, so you would agree that someone who studies and researches politics full time has a much more worthwhile opinion than a soldier with a high school education.

negative.
When discussing a war, I would weigh a soldiers opinion more than a book worm's. Same concept as the "arm chair quarterback".
