>>It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. -Robert E. Lee<<
First off, I find it strange a feller from the North would quote the honorable Robert E. Lee. Gen. Lee would not have condoned dragging dead soldiers in blue uniforms through the streets.
Secondly, war is ugly, horrific, but what sets civilized humans apart from barbarians is despite the horrors of war, human decency still reigns at the end of the day. Lotsa ways to kill a man, but after death, desecrating the dead is sadomasochistic and evil. Abusing prisoners, torturing and cutting off heads, burning caged men alive is beyond the pale.
Our creator, God Almighty will not hold folks blameless for such psychopathic behavior...even in war.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[f] and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.
55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?”
Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”
56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”
Will we be dragging progressive corpses through the streets, or will we just shoot, shovel and shut up?
[Yeah, sometimes the only way to respond to barbarians is with barbarism. It’s the language they speak.]
Exactly. A proposal I would like to see more of is the Mercenary Army...no national identity. Punishment for some head ISIS fighters captured would be to be put in a pen where wild pigs (that have not been fed for awhile) are then released. Extra credit would be given if the pigs were sows and not boars.
The story of course would be that the Jihadists went pig hunting [somewhat like bull fighting] and lost.
they’re moslems. The ones I know personally, I stay far away as possible. I don’t turn my back to any.
It is my prayer that moral equivalentits receive what they have earned in misery and horror.
Pity we don’t have adults in the White House.
Why that’s pretty cool. Attempting to use God’s word to justify satanic behavior.
I guess in your book, it was ok for the muslims to drag ambassador Stevens and those defending our embassy through the streets, sodomizing his corpse and video taping it?
Pretty neat-o to see that fella dying as he suffering being burned to death. Pretty sure it made the Almighty very proud.
Strange dayz were livin in.
Right? I heard the other day an interesting lil factoid.
Do you know why they call the U.S. Marines...leathernecks?
You prolly already guessed it.
Muslims around the Barbary Coast would highjack vessels and use this type of blade to sever the heads of those they captured....hence leathernecks. The Marines back then wore leather around their necks to aid in keeping their heads.
Thought that very interesting. Here we are in 2015 and the muzzies are still severing heads for fun.
Yes, so much has changed since then.
Of course people will tell me it’s only a couple crazies ruining it for everyone else, and that they have friends that are moslem. They’re all normal and when they go for pizza they each eat their own kind.
That kind of attitude is going to get us all killed.
I’m going to go strap on some leather now heh.
Good site! I will bookmark-but man, the hand-wringers in the comments section!
Ya, I did that last year.. Gave me Emmer, who promptly voted for Bonehead.
The comments are indeed scary.
Even as scary is the way the ‘moderators’ here chop articles posted to one excerpted sentence! This practice seems to grow and, even with the contributions I and others send in to Mr. Robinson, one must wonder if this website will stand.
Rome wasn’t built in a day...
