If they do that, they’re going to get put on trial by our own chain of command, which has already happened several times in the Bush administration.
Commanding Officer.................
Works for me. These people wish for nothing more than to die for the cause of jihad, so our soldiers should do everything they can to help them achieve this goal.
This is something I have been saying from the beginning.
> Message to all our men and women in uniform: When encountering TERRORISTS using deadly force anywhere Shoot to Kill. STOP TAKING PRISONERS! Thank You!
For better or for worse, your message to the Allied Forces will be ignored because militaries worldwide only take orders from their superior officers.
In the case of the US Military, that would ultimately be your new Commander-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama Dada thru General Petraeus.
If he wanted to issue a “No Prisoners” order he probably would. My guess is that he won’t, for any number of reasons.
My sentiments exactly - no more debate, no more wasted tax $$
Better yet, take as many prisoners as possible, then tell them all that the person who gives the most valuable intelligence will be allowed to live while all the others die. Then you will see who wants to die for Allah and who doesn’t buy the 72 virgins crap.
That means taking a prisoner will result members pulled off the line to give depositions and attend trials. It also means troops will have to risk their lives to gather "evidence" beyond what's needed militarily. Any commander worth his salt will determine that the added risks and serious depletion of a unit's firepower makes taking prisoners untenable. We will lose valuable intel that captives can provide as they will now be killed instead.
The President and all his lawyer friends can gloat about how we've "rejoined the world" while the people whose rights they're championing are being killed instead of imprisoned. American soldiers will also die from the reduced intel flow. Nice job - dickheads.
Does anyone else see a contradiction in how this Administration is fine with killing a suspected terrorist from a drone but refuses to interrogate prisoners? It's OK to turn them into grease spots, just don't make them uncomfortable. Guess we shouldn't point that out or the Zero will cancel the Predator strikes too.
