What our troops did to those Muslimes was NOT "torture." "Torture" was what went on in that prison when it was run by Saddam Hussein. There is a vast difference between photoing naked Muslimes and lowering them into a vat of acid.
Inhofe spoke for me today. He is right on the money and should be considered as a presidential contender in the future....
If you're not worried about that NOW, if you haven't been worried about that since 9/11/01, then you are hopelessly confused.
they aren't going to nuke us because we fight back. They're going to nuke us because they are godless savages.
I want to occupy Pakistan together with India, uproot their moon-god cult, educate their children and convert their grandchildren.
What do YOU want to do?
Careful there, "Total War" (Totaler Krieg) was Joseph Goebbels' rallying cry.
Total war is the demand of the hour. We must put an end to the bourgeois attitude which we have also seen in this war: Wash my back, but don't get me wet! The danger facing us is enormous. The efforts we take to meet it must be just as enormous. The time has come to remove the gloves and use our fists. We can no longer make only partial use of the war potential at home and throughout Europe. We must use our full resources, as quickly and thoroughly as it is organizationally and practically possible. Unnecessary concern is wholly out of place. The future of Europe hangs on our success in the East. We are ready to defend it. The German people are shedding their most valuable blood in this battle. The rest of Europe should at least work to support us. There are voices in Europe that have already realized this. Others still resist. That cannot influence us. If danger faced them alone, we could view their reluctance as literary nonsense. But the danger is to us all, and we must all do our share. Those who today do not understand that will thank us tomorrow on bended knees that we courageously and firmly took on the task.
The people are willing to bear any burden, even the heaviest, to make any sacrifice, if it leads to victory.
This naturally assumes that the burdens are shared equally. We cannot tolerate a situation in which most people carry the burden of the war, while a small portion attempts to escape its burdens and responsibilities. The measures we have taken and will take will be characterized by the spirit of National Socialist justice. We pay no heed to class or standing. Rich and poor, high and low must share the burdens equally. Everyone must do his duty in this grave hour, whether by choice or otherwise. We know this has the full support of the people. We would rather do too much rather than too little to achieve victory. No war has ever been lost because of too many soldiers or weapons. Many, however, have been lost because the opposite was true.
It is time to get the slackers moving. They must be shaken out of their comfortable ease. We cannot wait until they come to their senses. That might be too late. The alarm must sound throughout the nation. Millions of hands must get to work throughout the country. The measures we have taken, and the ones we will now take, and which I shall discuss later in this speech, are critical for our whole public and private life. The individual may have to make great sacrifices, but they are tiny when compared to the sacrifices he would have to bring if his refusal brought down on us great national disaster. It is better to operate at the right time than to wait until the disease has taken root. One may not complain to the doctor or sue him for bodily injury. He cuts not to kill, but to save the life of the patient.
February 18th, 1943, Joseph Goebbels
"Unconditional Surrender" was the rallying cry used by in the West to mean the same thing.
Too late, they already started one.
I agree with that statement.
However I disagree that prisoners were "tortured." They were hazed. I received worse hazing during my fraternity initiation, my initiation into a ROTC honor society and during basic training in the late 60's.
