Since none of us can know everything about anything, we're reliant on information we can gather from a variety of sources. Granted this is much, much easier today than it was even ten years ago, let alone twenty or more, everyone is limited by what they see, hear and read.

My point is that it's not always the fault of the person conducting the research and posting their results, in fact I'll go out on a limb and state that it's rarely the case.

It's probably 99% a problem with the available information, which since we're currently discussing the alledged move of a US Marine division (whole or in part), we're dependant heavily on the media (can't see too many military sources giving us the whole, unadulterated truth for a variety of reasons).

If "attacking" is necessary for whatever reason, lets limit it to the information rather than each other? We'll avoid a LOT of flame wars that way.
