Dan,
I was married once so I should have learned that it's best not to answer a vent; but, I'm a slow learner.
I'm surprised the protests of a motley collection of human detritus would bother you and your mates. But, I can only imagine what service is like now. They can't affect the leaders so they go after those under command.
It's easy and intellectually fashionable to question those who take actions to solve problems. In a more frustrating time of life, I used to say "if in doubt, do nothing". It's easier to defend a difficult position resulting from inaction rather than one resulting from action. In other words, passivity "seems" virtuous and carries with it the pleasures of second-guessing those who act.
Similarly, I quote Churchill remarking on Chamberlain's signing the Munich pact with Hitler: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war."
Good luck,
Bob (In the early stages of becoming a ranting curmudgeon)
