I don't buy that argument because remember, other than Adama, this is *not* the same group responsible for the Destruction because those people are all dead. We'd have to assume a stereotype about all people from a particular class to think they all act that way out of instinct and to me, that isn't a good mindset to establish within Galactica. Their misguidedness in Saga, WOTG and to a lesser degree GFE can be understood, but in BE they are behaving like total idiots to serve the role of a stereotyped group of buffoons, and the only explanation to explain this sudden attitude IMO is that they're all ticked off over how they were treated by Adama in GFE, which in fairness they do have a right to be partly upset about.
