I'm not saying Torture is right or wrong, just a necessary evil when you are dealing with people who'd rather die than let you live.
If terrorists want to die so much, why would they give up information from torture?
Entertainment value?

NO! As soon as we do, we've lost.
If we don't prosecute the criminals who ordered the last time, we've lost.
If you don't already know that, YOU are already a lost cause.
Any other dumbass questions?

I have no problems using torture on people that want to harm Americans but I don't consider water boarding torture.
I thought our incompetence lies in the fact that we screen for shampoo and perfume in airports as an effective security measure.Originally posted by: theflyingpig

Torture is always ok. Just don't get caught. Everyone knows this.

If we want to turn into our enemy, to behave like our enemy then i wouldn't fight for either side but combat both.
I'm willing to bet you that if you ask ANYONE here or anywhere else what drives you they will all reply the same.
It's because we are right and the enemy is wrong, now how the FUCK would you distinguish between right and wrong if we behave the same way?
I wouldn't have a problem killing every last one of the torturers on either side just because i would know i was right and they were wrong.
Without that, what the fuck would i be fighting for?
We fought for the right to live peacefully without building blowing up around us, sound simple enough for you?
YOU did?
No, son, little child of enormous advantages, what you did was born in the country you were born in where people before you have used torture, slavery and blowing up civilians as a means to an end.
All while wiping out the majority of the populace that was there.
Right now i'm in Afghanistan, tell me why i should fight the Taliban if we're going to act like they do? (well not that bad, considering what they do the Nazis gas showers were luxury).
HOW do you discern who are your enemy, lemme guess, it's all that are not exactly like you, right?
Are you fucked up in your mind on your own or were you abused as a child?

Give me a break on this right and wrong crap. You are telling me as a soldier, you are not gonna torture your enemy when that can give you valuable info which can save yours and your comrade's life? And you are not gonna do it when it can mean the difference between winning the war and losing the war? And as a soldier, you should know intel is one of the key factor in winning the war, and you are telling me you would rather be a nice guy then getting all the intel you can get?
Torture happens in any freaking war, people do it not because they are sadistic, but they do it to gain an upper hand to win the war. Yeah this war on terror is very different from the convention war, but it doesn't mean torture is not applicable or is wrong here. The problem is, like other aspect of a unconventional warfare, is that it's tougher to clearly identify the enemy. But that doesn't mean torture is wrong, it only mean people responsible for capturing and bring enemy combatant in for questioning need to do a better job to ensure they get the right person.

This is misguided. The people who've made the decision to go to war aren't even in the battle. They are the ones who should be made to suffer. How are you going to inflict physical pain on them? By killing or torturing some soldiers - who will just be replaced?Originally posted by: theflyingpig

I've been saying this for years. In war, the enemy must know pain, suffering, and death. In that order. To win wars we must cast aside civility, and turn ourselves into killers, because that is the object of war. To slaughter the enemy. Why do you think Japan surrendered in WW2? It's because they were slaughtered by the thousands. The saw the imminent destruction of their entire culture. They were about to be erased from this earth. They were given the choice of life or death. They chose wisely. All of our enemies must be given this choice. They must come face to face with the destruction of everything they love. They must understand they have no chance of victory. Everyone knows this.

I can't really disagree about japan in ww2 though. They were crazed with their belief that the emperor was god. Religion, once again, playing a fine role in the ongoing massacre of humans. Supposedly, we warned them we were going to wipe out a city and they didn't budge. There didn't seem to be any ambiguity like there is today in our conflicts.
Fine sentiments but I don't think this is the way it's worked throughout history. Most people are cowed by their leaders. Just look at how the herd reacted in the u.s. 2001 - 2005.Originally posted by: theflyingpig

It's not misguided when you think about it. You just haven't cast aside your civility yet. You see, the war must be brought to the civilian population. Soldiers dying in war is expected. Most people can stomach this. It is when the civilian population is tortured and slaughtered that true progress is made. By taking the war to the civilians, you essentially break the enemies will to fight. When the mothers and fathers of the soldiers are being slaughtered, they will lose their minds with rage, and will become less effective fighters. Those who made the decision to go to war will be hated by the civilian population. This is a winning strategy. It is a pity that the US and the West cannot stomach it. Our enemies can. They just lack the military strength to follow through. They have the will to defeat us, but not the means. Everyone knows this.
