I think if you asked most of those in the military, they'd rather fight it out and be rid of them.

The number caught or getting shot is so miniscule that it is probaby not a deterring factor. > The big question is whether > they're going to get caught or not.

Apparently not even the stepped up patrols have made any difference.

Indeed, but what does this have to do with Somali pirates? Are you wanting to discuss military atrocities? They happen. War is a horrible thing. Some are caught, some get away with it. > Their families often have no idea where they are, and > being brutally tortured to death is not "properly fed > and housed and given medical". Any american who would torture another to death should be help responsible. What else is there to say about it? >> Have you seen the emaciated husband and wife taken from >> their sailboat recently in Somalia? > > No. Have you seen or heard young boys scream in horror as > they were beaten, burned, or sodomized by U.S. soldiers? > http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/7/14/193750/666 Sorry, I don't do dailykos, and if you want to debate how horrible our military is, you should start another thread.

On the other hand, someone who shoots ... all my > questions are answered. If someone points a gun at you, you damn well better assume they are willing to shoot you. If you are willing to allow that to happen, you prolly deserve the consequences. The only 'incomplete view' you are likely to have is the fact that once they pull the trigger, you'll never finish your thought.

Well, it started out as a response to your belief that kidnappers should be shot or hanged. That would include a lot of people, many of them in the U.S. military. >> No. Have you seen or heard young boys scream in horror as >> they were beaten, burned, or sodomized by U.S. soldiers? >> http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/7/14/193750/666 > Sorry, I don't do dailykos, Why's that? -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org |
