These prisoners were humiliated, and they suffered, and they were put through the wringer. I agree. These prisoners were also picked up because OUR TROOPS are being attacked by terrorists.
They are sending 13 year old children to die as suicide bombers, hiding in mosques, killing and mutilating civilians because the soldiers are too hard to fight. If our soldiers have to use extreme methods to find out where the next terrorist attack is going to be, or who is behind it, then GOD BLESS them.
The only regret I have is in how our PR is being handled. I agree that our troops are endangered now because the Arab press is using this to fan the flames of hatred. We could be playing the propagandists just like Al Jazeera, God knows there's plenty of photos we could show. The fact is, they use rape, mutilation, amputation and mass executions. We scare and embarass them. It ain't the same thing.
We are at war with them.
We are not them.
We don't treat prisoners this way, and we would be mortified if those prisoners were our own. What is shown there is not the way civilized people behave.
I agree with you.
The way so many Freepers
have so vilified
these prison soldiers
ties my stomach into knots.
Just a few days back,
a Freeper referred
to these soldiers as psychos.
This is the first time
in my life freeping
that I've considered taking
time off because I
just can't stand seeing
what fellow Freepers put up.
United We Stand.
