ON the question of whether they are competent (which you asked), one objective way to do so is by comparing the percentage they got right vs wrong.

To answer your point about consequences, permit an analogy. Suppose we are both architectural students. I get about 99% of the questions right on the exam, so I become an architect. You can't get 20% of them right, so you don't. One day, unfortunately, in an understaffed project (so I have to carry a heavy workload with little redundancy) I make a few errors among countless decisions and calculations in designing a building, and unfortunately it was in a bad spot so the building folded. Obviously, that the building collapsed is my responsibility, and the consequences of my error quite large compared to yours in the sxam. But it does not mean I'm less competent than you as an architect.

Where do you get off saying that I don't hold my government responsible for their mistakes? I want to see the traitor who released this information court martialed, and if found guilty, given the maximum penalty allowed under the UCMJ. Is that enough for you not to see me as a hypocrite?
I know you are blaming them for this direction. Unfortunately, you are forsaking the forest for the trees.
