Yes, the off-topic was started by somebody else, but it wasn't (IMO)
an egregious breach of etiquette. Your reply was shot out of a
flamethrower, with no respect for the fact that the men and women
serving our country over there are risking their lives *as is their
duty*. Double standard? Not quite. Two entirely different cases.One
inflammatory, one not. Clearly the inflammatory case is more deserving
of wrath.
