I guess thats the same as these cards. Were they idiots back then too?
Firstly, we're talking about journalists and correspondants not the population of a conquered enemy. I was aware of written guidelines for the latter case, but not the former especially guidelines which include possible questions and suggested answers.
Secondly, the term 'idiot cards' is neither a term coined by me or applied by me in this case. It is a term commonly used to describe cue cards used on members of the public to pretend they have some sort of spontaneous, but agreeable, comment on whatever they are being asked. They are often used in advertising.
For the millionth time (you really need to brush up on those reading comprehension skills), the soldiers called them 'idiot cards' not me. Comprende?
Thats all the "proof" there has to be, your apparent attitude...
That's your interpretation (and your problem). Not mine.
Frankly, I couldn't care less about your history, Grunherz. I probably would have sympathised once, but your never-ending vitriol is wearisome in the extreme. If you can't handle what people post here without descending into an apoplectic rage (a common occurance, although we simply have the vitriol in this thread), I wonder why you bother to read the O-club.
