Micheal for not bring back the gun truck, CJ for not send enough , and Datu and Glenn for not field test the matagun. I'm starting to hate the CJ hate-train on the forums. How about just going with the idea that all decisions have consequences, good or bad?
I'm with Undead here. I think everyone is unnecessarily harsh on CJ, whatever she does. CJ is damned for not taking any chances or risks, then she does so after quite a lot of reasonable consideration, and she's damned because it doesn't have the best outcome.

If I was in charge of a dying colony, had lost a limb, witnessed the horrific deaths of many friends etc etc, I'd probably be a gibbering wreck incapable of any sort of coherent thought.

I can see her going one of two ways, since the colony is in such a dire situation. Either she retracts the colony inwards and becomes uber cautious, and everyone slowly starves to death due to lack of resources, or she decides that, because its hopeless, its time to go hell for leather, find the cause, and kick some zombie/ maller arse.
