Mickey Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I see no connection between these two events. Killing an unarmed man who is not a threat and has surrendered is wrong. Is it "as wrong as" killing innocent people, beheading, strapping on suicide bombs and all that insanity? Of course not. Where does that get you though? I don't think there is a national debate over whether or not we are different than terrorists. Of course we are. We are doing what we can to stop terrorists. We should also police our forces and no doubt we will. Until all the facts are out regarding that incident, it is premature to reach a judgment on just what happened. There is no need however to wait in judging what these "insurgents" did. Barbarity, pure and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, though - if I'm in combat, and I know the enemy has been faking dead, or "surrendering", then attacking, there's a very high probability I'm shooting everything in sight and breaking any nearby freaking cameras. Unless I felt there was no chance they get the drop on me. I wouldn't feel good about it, but I'm being honest - I'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichFan Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Let's not become them. What do you propose -- we send Hallmark, FTD, Bath & Body Works, and Godiva instead of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
