When people choose to go into that line of work knowing that's the risk they could take on (or outsource to someone else through dubious means), not sure why people have to be sympathetic to that compared to all those who don't go into such line of work and still get killed everyday. But hey, dress it up in a flag and declare it a secret, makes it all better...
* Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
* Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
* When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
* Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
* Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
* Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
It's ok for people footing the bill in part to want know what exactly they are paying for, even if people may still keep dying? Good to know, I was starting to think people would be surprised...
