See now this makes sense... it is much easier to argue or debate as long as you remain detacted.
When you have a personal investment in the people involved ethical guidlines go out the window (I'm just as guilty)... which is why at least people should be screen in advance (and perhaps druing) foreign deployments to make sure that personal feelings and attatchments are not conflicting with their objectivity. The importance of maintaining or realizing that your objectivity has been compromised is the first step in maintaining it...
