I really don't know what to say...

I honestly can't believe one of them had said "Well it's their fault for bringing their kids to a battle."
I admit, I can't say much to how they must feel, but I know my entire core would be crushed if I had found out I had done that whether I was cognizant of it at the time or not.

I know I shouldn't wish ignorance, but I really do wish I hadn't seen that.

@Kasz: I agree. I've always thought it weird that the military police operated as a part of the military. I'm curious if it's carried out the same way in other countries...

For the most part yes. It's sadly the same with our government too... who punishes senators? Why other senators.

I thought judges would punish senators?

You'd think... though the problem is a lot of the stuff senators do are slimey but hard to prove illegal... stuff like receiving "gifts" etc all fall under the "House Ethics commission."

Well actually they just suggest a form of punishment then the entire house decides.

I know, the US government sounds worse the more and more you learn about it.  It's likely why the US has so many vocal libretarians.

 

I honestly think the two party system has become flawed. If you want to run as a member of either party you have to completely conform to all their ideals or else you will be run out of the party as a "liberal" or "conservative". People are so focused on sticking with their parties we have lost all sense of individualism in government.
