We cannot afford to have our troops questioning whether or not their actions will lead to legal ramifications. This is NOT the way to conduct war. As soon as the soldier/sailor/airman stops for a split second to wonder if the next action he/she takes to kill an enemy combatant, one or more of the good guys will be killed by the enemy. This is what the moonbat left wingers want. If we let them succeed, even after the fact by changing the rules of the war after the battle has been won, we may as well not have a military. The consequences of that should be obvious to us all. This is an extremely dangerous situation and our future depends on it.
I agree totally. On another thread we were discussing Ken Burn's WWII movie. In it, one of the Marines talks about how his unit never took POWs after seeing the mutilated corpses after the Japanese were finished with them.
In other words, he confessed to a "take no POWs rule."
Since there's no statute of limitations, they could still charge those WWII vets. Why don't they do it, if they're so all-fired determined to rake a fine-toothed legal comb through every action that takes place on a battlefield?
Like Las Vegas.....if it happens on the battlefield, it stays on the battlefield. A battlefield is pure insanity, the rules that govern it are insane, and any outsider looking at it has to enter the insanity to even begin to understand it -- and it is impossible to enter the insanity.
