Williams: "And that, Chris, that last aspect, the willingness to take one's own life -- I always tell people there are guys on our team like that, too. They're called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren't going to come out. So we have players like that on our team."
I've probably expressed the same thing--that our guys are tougher than theirs.
Much ado about nothing.
This was awfully stupid.
Our guys don't want to die. They realize sometimes there must be a sacrifice,
But the Islamonutz - want to die, cuz there's all them virgins to handle....There is no equivalence except in Brian Williams drugged out brain
The difference is that our guys are not going in to annihilate civilians. They're going in to kill the thugs who DO kill civilians indiscriminately. As for the first responders; they may risk their own lives, but they're not doing what they do to KILL people like the suicide bombers. There is NO comparison between the groups.
This moral equivalence knows no bounds.
Williams is a stupid a**. Our men are not taking their own lives to blow up "infidels".
AND our first responders were going in to get people out!!!!!!!!!!!
The bad guys are NOT ON OUR TEAM!!!!!!!
The terrorists are willing to kill themselves to take the lives of innocents. They are motivated by a vision of replacing individual liberty with restrictive totalitarianism.
Soldiers, firefighters, and others like them, act out of selflessness to preserve life beyond their own, seeking to either stop the further bloodshed of innocents or save lives that may yet be preserved. They are motivated by moral or religious values that place a premium on the positive potential of human life.
There is no commonality between the two.
