The Marquis of Queensbury rules are only for two civilized Brits.
The Geneva Rules are only for uniformed enemy military.
No, I'm a retired U. S. Naval officer that knows his way around the U.C.M.J.
"Lawful orders" and all that.
The Rule of Law is there for a reason. If somebody needs to be executed, that is for a military tribunal to decide and not for some 0-2 to decide on his own whim.
"Psst. Lt. Wilson, did you know that XeniaSt is an al Qaeda operative?"
"Really, Akhbar?!?"
"Yes, Lt. Wilson. I would not lie about such a thing."
"You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take XeniaSt out and shoot him!"
if you reflect the current crop defending the Constitution. You would kill an American citizen but defend a terrorist ! You need professional care. God Help this Republic,

Actually, XeniaSt, you just got whacked by your own petard.
I did not kill anybody. I am CDR Polybius, not LT Wilson.
LT Wilson whacked you because he is not the sharpest pencil in the box and he had heard it spread around that, if you believe somebody is al Qaeda, you can just take him out on your own whim and shoot the S.O.B.
LT Wilson believed you were al Qaeda.
So, on his own accord, LT Wilson took you out and whacked you.
You said that was O.K. What's your beef now?
Now I, CDR Polybius, will have to charge LT Wilson for your murder.
You are the one defending extra-judicial murders on this thread. Not I.
