Yes well the American armed forces might act like savages, but in the British Army we try to be as humane as possible with wounded soldiers. What kind of logic is "shooting all wounded enemies" because they might have a grenade on them?
Oh well let me shoot every black man I see in case he might try to rob me.
Ummm... there is a HUGE difference between your normal everyday black man, and the towelhead that just tried taking your melon off your shoulders.
Your logic fails on that one.
Any "vet" who actually answers the way you do is a cowboy and shouldn't be in an army.
Any "vet" who answered as I did has actually been to war, while you sit here and "guess" what they should say and shouldn't say, should do and shouldn't do... how about you sign up for service and volunteer to go to Iraq, see how it is after your squaddies get blown by a trap and you watch their limbs fly off, and the nice little puff of red where their bodies used to be. I bet you will love the towelheads as much as I do after you see what they do, and yes, even to their own kind!
You expect a wounded man to pull a white flag out his ass and put his hands up?
I think you need to learn the difference between someone who has 3 bullets in his chest (a wounded soldier) and someone who has surrendered (a POW).
With 3 bullets in his chest, I am almost positive I would be doing him a substantial favor by ending his life quickly, instead of bleeding out because we all know healthcare in Iraq is about like healthcare in the Congo.
The difference between the two is this, the guy with 3 bullet wounds, if left alone, will most likely die... however if not, he will come back only with more hate to exact his vengeance on "zee infidel".
The prisoner of war was smart, he'll be taken into custody, 3 hots and a cot, chillin' with his towelheaded friends, and then eventually, returned to his native homeland to plot and plan another attack in the name of all that is Allah.
There's a saying I love, it's "Kill'em all and let God sort'em out", which is exactly what I think we should do to any combatant against Allied forces in this war we are in.
You cannot "rehabilitate" a terrorist, you cannot make him like you, so why on earth would you want his kind to survive? So that he may come and blow up another subway station in your country, how about a schoolhouse full of kids? How far are you willing to let them go before you finally realize what is right and start supporting our mission.
I'd be careful if I were you... Who knows.. Iraq has WMDs and Saddam might invade any minute... Wouldn't be very nice if an Iraqi jumped out the woods and stuck a bayonet up your ass while you're shooting up, not would it?
Yeah... another failed attempt at saying something useful.
You should just give up now, maybe raise the white flag?
Dude, would you just listen to yourself? The gladiator games? Are you serious? In a civilized society? While it might have been "awesome" to the spectators, I guarantee it wasn't "awesome" to the slaves being slaughtered or even the gladiators themselves.
Shit, those guys loved it... being a Gladiator was a thing of honor... those were REAL men, no time for terrorist loving pussies in those days.
I personally think your attitude about people, war, or humane behavior is really disturbing. Especially when you add in the comments you made in that other thread Richi posted where innocent people, including kids, were being killed/wounded. I'm not sure you're the best source to go to for advice on issues on morality.
Aww, innocents being killed? In war?! No way!!!! Well, I guess perhaps the innocents should rise up against those that are doing most of the killing of innocents (suicide bombers, not any Allied military force) and stop them! Oh wait, nevermind... all they do is sit inside their homes and watch our guys get blown up, screw'em... they should've never let themselves be taken over the way they were, forced to do shite work for terrorists in exchange for their lives and the lives of their families... have you even talked to any REAL Iraqi's? My guess is no because if you had, you would not say near the amount of idiotic things you say.
Doesn't this stuff seem like it belongs in an uncivilized society? Some shit we'd see in the Muslim world or a devastated 3rd world country? We talk up a big game here in the States about how peaceful, moral and righteous we are, but look what America produces, even with all the built upon knowledge that's there for any open mind to learn about even with our free public education system, nobody has an excuse to hold these kinds of beliefs. There are reasons we don't have gladiator games today, and it would benefit you to understand them.
I am a worldly person, American education sucks, and most Americans know absolutely nothing about the world except that their country is "The best"... I have traveled many places to enlighten myself of the reality outside our borders, a thing which I seriously doubt you have ever tried doing, just by the way you talk it seems as if you've never even been out of your own country! What would you know of true terrorism? The shit you don't hear on the media because locals won't talk about it to just any dumb gringo. Until you've walked through villages that were prior terrorist hideouts, and talked to the people in that village, your opinion is pretty much nil.
As for the gladiator games, they sure cut down on crime, and as I said wayyy up there, it was a thing of honor to be in such a position... you could learn a lot from those
men.
Socatasmoker you won the quote contest by being quoted 4 times in a row.
LOL
