11 Bravo (17,971 posts)
If your country was attacked, would you assist in ...
rounding up non-combatants and staging theatrical beheadings? Would you place POWs in a cage and set them on fire as the video cameras rolled? Would you send pictures of a dead young woman to her family? Would you support sending armed assassins into schools to kill the students therein (paying special attention to females daring to seek an education)?

False equivalencies piss me off, whether it's a lap-dog corporate media pretending that "both parties do it" in order to make money; or it's pundits and anonymous internet posters attempting to equate the US Army with the Islamic State and/or the Taliban.

The American military is not blameless. Innocent civilians have perished at our hands, way too many of them. But it was not done indiscriminately, or as a perfect expression of everything we stand for.

I have never liked the term "collateral damage" finding it way too facile; but it has been a fact of life in every war in recorded history. However, wanton murder is not a policy that is being employed by American service men and women.

Just my opinion, YMMV.

Well ya know Bravo, an ass kickin is wating from the Hate Amerika First crowd.   
Lots of piling on for DU cred in this thread.

Here is the bottom line (last post at the moment) which is really a mild rebuke unlike most of the others.

 Although one could argue there were some dark spots regarding treatment of collaborators sans trial.

The DU hive, 11Bravo has shook. The proverbial DU granite pizza farm will 11bravo buy, I predict.

He should stick to showing evil Republicans his laminated DD-214 he claims to carry around with him.

I guess the new vogue is to defend ISIS as merely fighting off interlopers.

To which I say, gee, then why are they beheading and incinerating non-US soldiers?

And even if they did have the guts to try to capture US soldiers, wouldn't sticking them in a cage and lighting them on fire constitute one of DU's favorite charges, a WAR CRIME?

Sad and pathetic, the defense of these psychotic murderers.

That should be its own thread here,the responses are DUmp lunacy and idiocy to the max.

I can see this going down as a twin pizza deal for our two Little Caesars.     



One deep dish, one pan to go please.


The only appreciation either of them will get will probably be here.

It's a little more than I could stomach reading some of that.

I hear ya,sometimes the tip over is just too much.
The self absorbed denial of reality based exclusively on their envy and greed can be nauseating in light of actual world events.

numbersBoo is safe.

He's one of the DUmp's phony heroes.

He and the Bellevue Big Guy share that Combat Infantry Badge.

They shared a foxhole once, but afterward they swore each other to secrecy.

It is likely a fake DD-214 card.

Heh!  I'd forgotten about that.  Insecurity issues abound.

They sound like Ron Paul blaming US intervention for Radical Islam.

Let's not overlook the forest ranger/fire watcher, demotx or something like that.

When Boo-Boo said, "Mr Ranger's not going to like that, Yogi", he knew what he was talking about.

choie
69. More American exceptionalism
when the United States arrests and puts on trial OUR war criminals from George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who planned the illegal war that killed god knows how many innocent people (many of whom were defending THEIR country) to the soldiers who committed the numerous heinous acts in places like Fallujah to the torturers in Guantanamo Bay to the psychiatrists who aided and abetted the tortures...maybe then we can claim moral superiority..

Wow... That is some weapons-grade stupidity... The DUches seem to think that the American army commits atrocities on a daily basis, while not paying attention to any of the restraint we used in these campaigns.

In Fallujah, for instance, we set up a perimeter around the city and let the people know we were coming into the city WELL in advance. We could have just kept the perimeter and carpet bombed the city... But we didn't. And THAT is why we are different from ISIS.

The DUches think nothing justifies the use of force unless you've been attacked. In a conventional war, waiting until you are attacked gives the enemy the initiative, and makes it much more difficult to gain control of the situation strategically.

 These are the smarterest, brighterest people in the United States? Not really...

And FYI DUche, there WERE weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Claims of an unjustified war kind of go away when that gets brought up, doesn't it?

[Airwolf]

It can't be fake. He had Radar type it up and then had Col.Potter sign it himself I tell ya!!!!
