1) The writer obviously does not understand Star Trek. She does not see the series in it's historical context, which is not that far off from a global war that nearly destroyed the human race, set it back centuries in development and was only saved by quick advances in technology. Also, the series must deal with the large gap in human behavior between the original series and TNG, the baudy Kirk vs. the cerebal Picard, for example. The humans are closer to 20th Century behavor than 23rd. And rightfully so. Also, there is not yet a Federation or a Prime Directive -- proper decorum in space travel hasn't even begun to be defined.
2) The writer has also not paid close attention to what's actually happening in the show. For example, Hoshi is not (or was not) a member of the military before becoming a member of the Enterprise crew, so of course she has no training in anything military. 3) My main complaint with this piece is that it's just another example of liberal, ultra-sensitive political correctness. Everything must be PC. If you dont' confirm to the PC code, you are some how defective. It's a bit of liberal bias that is totally revolting. H. -----Original Message----- From: LANCASTER, STEVEN M.
