why the hell would he do anything that would pile up the guilt like that?!

I guess, if the point of the rant was that the story painted what Rodney did in drugging cat-human John as something amusing with no consequences, maybe they can see John doing it... Yeah, okay, I've got nothing.

They see John and Ford, being military, as stand ins for the jocks who picked on them in high school, and hence they too must be horrible people who'd torment their friends? They were dropped on their heads as children? They've got memory issues and can't remember season 1 Ford?
