Boo hoo, a combatant is captured and we worry that he may die?

but it isn't like he is a preacher, he is a Marine - a killing machine!

A machine. Non human. Not deserving that we, the people he represents, the people he works for, the people who sent him there, worry that he will be murdered? Not killed in battle, executed.

There are some 'preachers' who, apparently, are above this marine in your opinion who will order his execution and perhaps do the deed in person. They will say 'God is great' as he struggles for the last seconds of his life. They will speak to their fellows in the name of God. They will preach.

You may continue to understand their actions but not ours. You will justify them but not us. You will say what makes us great is that you can dismiss a US Marine and his murder as 'what is to be expected'. You will post pictures, I didn't look, that, apparently are meant to justify that you are OK with one of our guys be slaughtered like an animal.

You really don't need to clarify your position any more. I get it.

You make my ####ing skin crawl.

Hey Larry, why is that different than civilians (or babies) who were killed by U.S. forces? ....... Nobody here cried for all the Iraqi civilians (over 7,000 by some counts) who died. http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0522/p01s02-woiq.html


The difference is quite simple. :duh: It's US vs Iraq. Iraqis should be boo hooing over their dead, we should be boo hooing over our dead, those who are made to boo hoo the most, and cry Uncle, I surrender, wins. :shrug: Unfortunately, the "enlightened" folks like yourself jlab, can't pick a side, and are far more concerned over their dead than our dead. :rolleyes:

And another thing, we have so many on our side boo hooing the Iraqi dead that it's fueling the Al Quaeda resolve and getting more and more of our folks killed. Rather than weeping, we need to be giving it back to them ,(and those who harbor them) ten fold. You cut off our citizens head, we hunt down your family and friends and cut off ten heads.

We look like a bunch of pansy ass sissies to them, they get the reaction they want with every beheading. They know it shocks and horrifies the average American, and it's a good bet, eventually, they will be able to outlast us, since it's a given we'll vote in a candy azz liberal sometime this decade. :duh:

Liberals just make me want to vomit, because they are so blinded by their "peace, love, happiness" business, they can't see past the nose on their face and figure out being nice and catering to these animals will do nothing more than get more Americans killed. :duh:

No, I think she's saying it's time to start kicking azz and taking names.

But we've already toppled two governments and killed thousands. What else do you want?

A video on Al-Jazeera's website of the public beheading of Saddam? :shrug:

Malone: You said you wanted to get Capone. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I'm saying is, what are you prepared to do?
Ness: Anything and everything in my power.
Malone: And THEN what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way because they're not gonna give up the fight until one of you is dead.
Ness: How do you do it then?
Malone: You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send on of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?

Wouldn't it be more fun to ship JL over there on a "Peace" Mission? He could kiss all the Iraqi boo boo's and dig spider holes to hide in when the "Minutemen" come a calling! :biggrin:

I didn't say it wasn't atrocious, I just said a military member can reasonably figure he might get killed in a war, it could be enemy fire, it could be friendly fire, it could be run over by a humvee or it could be being captured. A marine is told this from day one, it doesn't make it right, it is part of the job, like a cop or a fireman, you can get killed doing it. If it does happen, I would just hope it to be as quick and painless as possible.
Yes, a service member knows that they may be called up and put into harms way and possibly killed one day. But, untill recently, the Geniva Convention was respected(which prohibits such actions). No service member ever thought they will be killed in this manner. There is no honor and no dignity in being killed like this.

Sorry about that chief.
Sorry I missed the part where beheading me was called for, I was off burning a flag for lunch. Always glad to see the peanut gallery get their panties in a bunch when I question authority and administration policy. Hmmm, isn't that what this country stands for? Anyway, I think this guy is as good as dead, just was hoping it is a quick death. What was he thinking, that getting captured over there would be a good thing?

I know I wasn't a marine, my head wouldn't fit into the jar, but I would think a marine wouldn't allow himself to be captured in a country where he knows it will mean certain death and possible torture. His honor will still be there, as an honorable serviceman fighting a dishonorable war.

As far as shipping me over there, sorry, was there the first time, don't want to go back, I have enough battles to fight against the SOMD militia right here.
