It is not being the nice guys that is screwing us over. It is the stupid rules of engagement that Obama has our troop’s hands tied with. Rules like having to be 100% sure that there is no chance of a civilian casualty before we can engage them, not firing at or entering the mosques where they hide. Treating terrorists as if they were uniformed soldiers on the battlefield. Releasing known terrorists back into the battlefield.
What we SHOULD be doing is to treat them EXACTLY like the Geneva Convention calls for; like criminals and terrorists who are rounded up, tried at a military tribunal and punished accordingly.
This is incompatible with my post #19 how exactly?
You seemed to think it was objectionable. Why was that again? Something to do with “being better than the savages we fight.” wasn’t it?
