If trying the before military tribunals was such a good idea, why didn't the Bush administration do it during their eight years in office? Why kick it down the road to Obama and then all the right-wingers criticize what he chooses to do?

I got this response to a similar question I asked (from a member named Hazbro):
I would just like to say, as a veteran, that the notion of trying these thugs as soldiers in a military court is an insult to every soldier. You are in fact classing terrorists who murdered three thousand civilians with me and everyone who has, is or will wear the uniform of a United States service member. Not suprisingly I mostly hear this crap from someone who's never been a soldier and doesn't understand how insulting and degrading it is to me and everyone who has ever served to have my countrymen equate what these murderers did with what I did as a soldier. They aren't soldiers. They are mass murderers, and trying them as a soldier would only dignify their actions. The men of my family have served back to the founding of the nation, and I think I can speak for all of us when I say treating these scum like military men is not now and never will be acceptable to us.
