[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] [QUOTE]I think that's a bit harsh on Adama - I think perhaps that he would prosecute and remove these people in ordinary circumstances, but he knows that these aren't ordinary circumstances and he can't, so he just gets on with it. If he prosecuted and jailed Lee, what would be the benefit to society? Justice would have been done yes, but a fleet that needs defending would have been down one fighter pilot. Same with Tigh: they would be down an knowledgeable combat officer with years of tactical experience under his belt. Justice is fine and dandy when you have a robust society operating, but when you're down to the last dregs and you have people who cannot be replaced and are absolutely essential, then you have to be a little more pragmatic. [/QUOTE]That's clearly not the intention though. The idea is that Adama is a loose commander and was well before the attack. Tigh and Starbuck were drunk and fist-happy, respectively well before the Colonies were wiped out. Adama let it go then because the ship itself was on her way out and he knew that the likelyhood of [i]Galactica[/i] facing any real, military combat situation was highly unlikely. Now, on the otherhand, he's faced with the situation you described. But make no mistake, Adama has these imperfect people because of the way he ran things before the Attack. [/QB][/QUOTE]
