Pond-Life,
I never intended to pick your post apart or to appear smug / smart - there's nothing for anyone to feel smug about after JR went under...
I just wanted to observe that their recruitment policy cannot be termed "dumb" or "smart", since the boys and girls hired never got the chance to prove their worth in battle. I don't think the people affected need to hear others calling them "the wrong choice" for the mission on top of them loosing their jobs.
Who was hired had nothing to do with them going down - it ain't their fault! Management... now, that appears to be another story
