"... whether they be enemy or friendly, to be treated with dignity...
The code of honor for most American soldiers includes a respect for the enemy who has the courage to fight him.
=====
How about the enemy who murders our civilians, men, women and children?!
That code of honor is meant, when fighting other soldiers, who happened to be fighting for the enemy, and we may have to kill them to win, but shouldn't dishonor them, because they fight for their cause honorably.

This hardly applies to a bunch of ragtag cowardly terrorists who exactly don't have the courage to fight us, that is why they are attacking our civilian population -- or did you forget, that right now, we are on high alert for terrorist attack.

Those terrorists deserve no respect dead or alive. If anything, their bodies should be wrapped in pigskin, and buried that way, -- and televised -- so according to their beliefs, they won't make it to their paradise. The reason they are in a hurry to die, is because they think that they will go to paradise. Maybe that would serve as a small discouragement.

This Canadian soldier was accused of "desecrating" the body of an Al Qaeda terrorist. To even bring those charges, is ludicrous. The soldier should be decorated, not brought up on charges for killing Al Qaeda. Maybe he should have fed the Al Qaeda body to the pigs. That wouldn't be excessive even.

Or have people forgotten our 3000 innocent civilians, murdered by Al Qaeda, who are plotting to kill many more thousands, even millions of us right now.

How do you know that enemy solider even knew about 9/11? I bet that stuff was above his pay grade.

Huh?

Bin Laden himself said the plane bombers didn't know their mission until they boarded. So how can some Afghani running around in the hills be aware, much less responsible?

I think the suggestion that our side's troops should desecrate bodies says more about you than the enemy, 'Fair Opinion.'

Surely fairness (PC) will be the death of many more of our own. And as for the issue of wrapping the corses with pig fat somehow, it's time to get this idea into the press. It's a good one that hasn't been mentioned thus far.

And where are the ads for bacon fat spray? It should be a big hit.

So then, you would punish a pedophile by raping his children?

Would you punish a drug dealer by selling drugs to his kids?

The members of the US Armed Forces on this thread understand honor, and they are telling you that what you advocate is wrong.

Listen to them.
