A lot of things are "common sense and apparent." If the people who want to destroy morality at home but hold our troops to a set of rules Christ himselfwould be proud of would shut the Hell up and the military was deployed in its true capacity, the number of thugs running about shooting people whould be diminished greatly.

Y'all want to hold the US military to this Holier-than-thou standard the enemy not only scoffs at but exploits the Hell out of, then blame Bush because we aren't "winning."

Well, we aren't "winning" because we aren't fighting. We're using the US military as a police force. That takes away every training and technological advantage we have. You fight to win. Nothing else is good enough. And if Hakim's eyelash gets bent or his religious sensibilities insulted in the process, tough shit.

So let's don't pretend this is about "common sense and logic" when it clearly about political correctness, and a blatantly obvious moral double-standard.
