Amazing how all the Arm Chair Pattons are here on Free Republic and not in Iraq. Gee that "Collective Responsibility" doctrine desired by the wannabees really worked well in Balkans and Russia during WW2 for the Nazis.
I am curious. Do the "Freeper Generals" tell the Surgeon how to cut them? Their lawyers how to plead their case? Their tax preparer how to file their return?
Amazing that all the modern incarnation of Alexander the Great and Caesar are Freepers!!!
No sweat.
I know you are being facetious, but I didn't suggest that, did I?
It is always so much easy to find fault with other's comments than to stick you neck out. Why not making an intelligent comment instead of just sniping.
There is a difference between kissing a$$ and being fair.
Go look up the term "Unlawful Combatants". You would be seriously pissed if we actually followed the Convention and dealt with the terrorists as they deserve. Spare us the phony posturing and nonsensical moralizing.
I'm so sick of this B.S.........BURN 'em all...and let's be done w/it!
Just curious, where in the bible does it state that Christians must be sensitive to the rules of their enemies when in warfare?
Islam doesn't permit cremation. Does that mean we should care?
So when we give the terrorists the trip in front of the firing squads they so richly deserve, as allowed by the Geneva Convention, you will not be one of the Hysteric Leftiest rioting in the street about it? After all this WILL BE what you demanded the USA do, follow the Geneva Convention.
You are a freaking idiot.
Once again, the left will do anything that they can to denigrate our troops.
The State is a subchristian institution whose divinely ordained daily essential actions, by necessity, are fundamentally incompatible with Christian ethics. The point is that during wartime, decision-makers are always faced with "lesser of two evils" options, and we shouldn't get lulled into thinking we are making moral "Christian" choices when we decide to kill 200,000 people rather than 750,000.
The term "Christian nation" is an oxymoron. A state must take actions 24/7 to maintain domestic peace and tranquility. Necessary, even imperative, actions like capital punishment and waging war contradict the core Christian ethical requirements. Thus, in many Christian spiritual traditions war is never, ever, ever, ever, justified within the realm of kingdom ethics (those actions commanded or prohibited in the here and now by the New Testament and binding upon believers until the Second Coming). See Jean-Michel Hornus, It Is Not Lawful For Me To Fight: Early Christian Attitudes Toward War, Violence, and the Sate, and John Howard Yoder, The Politics of Jesus (Eerdmans:1972, 260 pgs.).
There is no Godly blessing to be pronounced over the killing of fellow humans. There is no strand of New Testament teaching or slivers of proof-text verses that put a Christian stamp of approval upon war. War is hell. War is of the devil. And anyone who thinks that there are or can be rules for the civilized, organized, lethal infliction of deadly force is delusional. The object of war is the utter annihilation and destruction of the enemy. War crimes and crimes against humanity are what the victors charge against the losers.
Looks like the AM Airstrike we called in killed KenRI dead.
Way to go, AM!
;)
I think perhaps KenRI was a little conflicted.
LOL
If Islam bans cremation why did they burn the bodies of our spec ops guys in Mogodishu and in Iraq? Their double standard is almost as bad as our MSM and our democRATS.
