WTF? Did it ever occur to you that these prisoners are bad. Its not as if they were in the corner selling newspapers. They are insurgents that are killing Americans or at worst accomplices. Jeez, you are one for the record books.
ChrisIsBored, please apply...don't let the door hit u on the way out.
 
Nasty. Not much to say really. Other than i could certainly make this into "make fun of the guy (3posts)above you" thread", because i really feel like doing that.

Even if they were, that makes it okay to torture them for fun?

If you are a moral superiority you're hiding it well.

No, that's because we're all out to prosecute and kill americans! (Yay, hooray for paranoia)

Oh NOES!!! Someone took a rifle to the face, that poor thing. :roll:
 
Screw international standards. Screw 'em. I wanted to use much more colorful phrases there but I don't want to be banned. POWs are just that. Prisoners of war. I'm tired of all you bleeding hearts crying for an unfair requirement of our military. People die in war. People suffer in war. That will never change. If our troops had been captured, I'm sure the opposition's internet representatives would be up in arms over the treatment American troops received(sarcasm for those not bright enough to grasp it). We are no better than the rest of the world. It's about time we leveled the playing field. I will admit that unneccessary torture is inhumane. However, we need to scare the hell out of these bastards. And if this is the closest our country will allow, then so be it.

YOU, and the people JUST LIKE YOU, have no right, NO RIGHT, to get in an upraor when one of our gi's or other civillians are killed. NO GOD DAMN RIGHT

you are nothing but blind followers, incapable of independent thought. death doesn't mean a god damn thing to you unless it affects you, otherwise who give's a fvck, right?


THIS IS WHY WE HAVE OUR PROBLEMS, BECAUSE OF THIS ARROGANT NATURE! TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, YOU WILL SEE YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY!
 
My battalion commander took shrapnel from suicide 'naders over there. So don't sit there and tell me I don't have a right to say a GD word about what's going on. I myself will be heading that way at the end of the month. Keep your rhetoric to yourself you self-righteous SOB.
 
America's Finest :roll:

I'd love to throw these POS soldiers in a cell and throw away the key.
 
Fine, when U.S invades Iran and Iran gets some U.S prisoners it can treat them like this too. BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT .... .. .
 
Gah. I have PT in three hours so this'll be my last post. For all you people that have the audacity to verbally attack us in the military, I just want to say this. We fight for your right to do so. That's our job. Sometimes, I wonder if you even care...
 
That guy with the big goofy grin and the thumbs up is a moron.

Anyways, this isn't very shocking. I kind of expect this type of behavior in any sort of conflict.

Being in the military is not necessarily a 'free pass' to commit whatever acts you wish to perform. If you act outside of a given set of guidelines, then expect criticism in return.

You're expected to be a decent human being, no matter what your occupation may be.

And yes, we do care and thanks.

Be Safe, but hopefully you will not act out of vengance Then you will be a soldier and not a murderer

Want to see torture ? Go to the same link above and download some of the " many " beheading videos on that site. That torture. That's murder. These photos are not torture. They are captured fighters and were being treated as such.
 
What is the context of these pictures? This could very well be after a firefight, and not a prison, and therefore very likely that combatents would be bloodied from the fight, and are in the process of being taken prisoner.
 
More and more I feel embarrassment because of the actions/attitudes of those in our military.

Isn't 'honor' still a big thing for those who wear the uniform?

LOL. You're an idiot and sarcasm is obviously too challenging for you to comprehend. Thanks for the link. 😉


Back on topic, there's really not much proven by these pictures. Unless there's more than hasn't been released I don't see any conclusive evidense that some mistreatment was taking place. There's a man with blood who for all we know could have hit his head, or received it from a fire fight, and as a result he surrendered. From the looks of it, American's sometimes receive similar or even more harsh treatment when being tackled to the ground and arrested by police officers.

For all in the military, It was at one time. But just as in our civilian population, there has been subversive element that has been able to conform just enough to make the cut.

I believe that this is the product of the tone set by those that had the power to shape our country between
1960 and 2000.

Gaard, I don't know about you, but with all the inflammatory rhetoric flying around the information outlets these days, I won't pass judgment on those that serve in our military until I hear their side of the story.

But if it helps you sleep at night, by all means go ahead and feel embarrassment and proclaim it in public, and dishonor them, the vast majority (above 99%) that do serve honorably.
