The next time someone complains about how we are treating the POW's....

[UltraQuiet]

they should read this article Fallen SEAL. Of course if I was a foreign military commander that's what I would do. Give what is arguably the most lethal small unit forces (SEAL's) in the world another more personal cause to rally around. Idiots.

 

[Hammer]

I can see why they did it though. The Navy SEALs are our premier fighting force. To 'defeat' any of our elite forces would be a huge moral boost for their side, and affect our other forces. Killing the wounded, what pieces of $hit these guys are. On that part, we agree Chief.

 

[spazntwich1]

The only thing worse than having 7 of our men and women die is not getting to see live coverage of us slaughtering those sub-human al-qeada bastards!

I'd find it interesting to get to see some of our footage of a terrorist camp getting smashed.

 

[Tominator]

And every damn time I hear some idiot on TV talk abut the Genva Convention I wanna choke'em!:|

 

[burnedout]

Dave: I wholeheartedly agree with the intent here.

The concept that put's us above Al-Qaeda, and other belligerents, is that we typically treat wounded POWs and EPWs humanely.

Even though various liberals, bleeding hearts, (insert name for weak kneed idiots here) and others continuously whine, snivel, bitch about Camp X-Ray; the fact remains that detainees are treated humanely. NOT in the same manner as this Navy SEAL.

This is a tragic, diabolical act commited by barbarians. Naturally, the only sane course of action is their total and complete destruction. Wipe them from the face of the earth and be done with it. I feel we are making progress with such a task.

 

[jjones]

To be honest, I wouldn't expect anything else. I didn't anticipate that they would be taking prisoners so anyone caught would be pretty much summarily executed. I would only expect them to do it quickly. For retribution, I do like this though:

Horrible story

but using it for the kindergarden "he did it so I can do it also" logic is absurd.

Agreed

If anyone got the impression that I think we should respond in kind, you are mistaken.

 

[IGBT]

Most of the hand wringing over the terrorist wana be's in Cuba comes from the british wussies at BBC. And the liberal terrorist sympathizers here in the US are lock step with the british.

 

[Novgrod]

Scary stuff . . . really nasty, in fact.

Though I'd object to "most lethal small unit forces," since seals often are allowed to escape with their attitude problems. I'd pick army special forces or delta force any day, and for professionalism you can't beat the rangers . . . though I'm sure the seals are great in the water.

nb: this is comprised of various accounts from marine/seal/army friends.

 

[Hammer]

I don't know about the Rangers. They didn't handle the intense pressure of Mogadishu as well as the SEALs and Delta did.

EDIT: spelling

 

[Red Dawn]

<< I don't know about the Rangers. They didn't handle the intense pressure of Mogadishu as well and the SEALs and Delta did. >>

They handled it better than we would have.

 

[GasX]

<< I don't know about the Rangers. They didn't handle the intense pressure of Mogadishu as well and the SEALs and Delta did. >>

And you were there?

 

[rudder]

And you were there?

maybe he watched Black Hawk Down. In any event I think all involved handled Somalia very well.

 

[Hammer]

No. I have read several accounts of the battle. Some of the Rangers did not want to continue the fighting and some who were injured, but not major injuries, stop fighting, and laid down. The Delta and SEAL operators were like inhuman machines and kept fighting in spite of the some of the major injuries they suffered. Nothing against the Rangers, their training just isn't as involved as the SEAL and Delta's is.

 

[Hammer]

I agree with you. I was commenting on the guy who was talking about the Rangers in relation to SEALs.



<< They handled it better than we would have. >>

 

[Pastfinder]

fvcking savages, kill em all, let God sort them out.

 

[novon]

an eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind.

Dropping bombs on whole troops of soldiers doesn't make us any more civilized than what they did. Killing is wrong either way.

 

[Tominator]

<< Killing is wrong either way. >>



What a dumbass statemennt!

 

[shiner]

All the whiny ass Euros need to crack a history book and take a look at something called the Bataan Death March....maybe after reading and learning a bit they will shut the flip up about how we are "mistreating" the a-holes down in Camp X-Ray.

novon: What is so difficult to understand about the circumstances surrounding the events of September 11th? You don't understand, do you? When a deadly threat exists, then the people of a nation must respond.

What's the use. 4 days after September 11th you were posting that the United States deserved what happened.

Go smoke another bowl.

Why is it dumb thinking killing is wrong?

 

[Optimus]

Because not all killing is wrong. Killing in self-defense or defense of the innocent is regrettable, but justified and not an "evil" thing to do.

 

[Czar]

Then how do we define self-defense?

Hey Czar, out of curiosity, why do you say killing is wrong? I don't disagree with you, but i don't agree with you either. Could you explain why you think that? Is it morals, biblical, b/c it's barbaric, or what?

peace
