There are SO many articles on FR. By the time, we scroll down through them all; we are tired. Old & tired. - Of course, this situation is HORRIBLE. I have additional housekeeping & cooking chores that I have to do (the maid & the cook didn’t show up today)- \s
A story for which Napier is often noted involved Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati by British authorities. This was the custom of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband.
As first recounted by his brother William, he replied:
“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.” [5]
never take the law into our own hands
This incident ought to be a part of the next president’s inaugural address. “I hereby recall SFC Maitland and CPT Quinn to active duty, with a promotion of one rank, and accept the resignations of... [insert the chain of command here].”
It disturbs me that there are people prepared to turn their back on the sergeant.
Special Forces have a very particular mission, working with local forces, coordinating and leading those forces. They are in a position to look the other way on things that don’t matter, but they are also in a position to exert influence on things that do matter.
Martland had discussed the issue with the elders before confronting the offending officer.
This is what happened with the Syrian “rebels”. We’re training and supplying and financing you, we are in a position to tell you to protect every Christian in your midst or we will come down on you with hellfire. But we didn’t do it. And now we have a big problem. Well, we have a PR problem. The Christians and Yazidis have a rather more pressing problem.
Active Duty ping.
Our Blood, Our Treasure, Our Values. That has to be our motto now and forever. Otherwise don’t involve America.
Trump taking PC head on is his greatest achievement to date. Can he make it stick? I think that’s up to us.
He lived up to his motto: “De oppresso liber”
You mean those gutless, spineless wimps who give Nobama everything he wants? The ones who are afraid of their own shadows? Are those the Republicans you are referring to? They are, of course, nowhere to be seen, as usual.
One more year and then We The People can have our say. Get active today. Veterans must remember Benghazi, VA scandal, outrages like this and the list goes on.
Anyone who sits the next election out is to blame.
Support Our Troops!!!
Amen, My FRiend.
Instead of publicly assaulting Abdul Rahman, he should have slit his damn pedo throat in the middle of the night. These sick bastards need to start mysteriously dropping dead.
Imagine the praise given out if they’d joined the creep in raping the boy? Diveristy, coexist, if it feels good do it and all cultures are equal!
Obama the Bastard’s Gay Army supports boy rape.
This incident like the planned parenthood debacle should be a no-brainer to anyone involved in the decision making process.
Problem is you have light a fire under the decision makers ass and we seldom accomplish that since we have no methodology for getting messages out.
We have not figured out how to effectively use the New Media which is our only vehicle for fair and balanced messaging and we still depend on the Old driveby Media to get messages out that help our cause. That of course will never happen.
But, no one but us will ever hear about it.
What does a ‘religion’ or even a ‘death cult’ have to do with raping children? This should never be tolerated at all by the rest of the world and should be obliterated at once.
The green on blue attacks have rarely been about the Taliban. It’s quite apparent which team the Pentagon sides with.
Obama in action!!
