Sadly, Jonathan is letting his very strong political views once again get the upper hand and he flagged something he feels is somehow against the "best interest" of his country. For us participating in HN from outside the USA, it is baffling to see guys that can be so involved and intelligent on some issues (he is Creative Director at row27) and at the same time so openly aggressive and irrational on others. And yes, sorry, but it is irrational to say that this is not HN material, but actively participate in other political threads when they are about some political victories of your own political party (as he did for example in "Senate votes to repeal 1099 reporting requirement in health care law"). And BTW, as we always have to sadly explain, this would be the same if he is not republican but democrat or whatever. Some of us just really dislike double standards. And flagging this story because it makes your Military and government look bad, and excusing yourself in "not HN", well...
