"For example, from the perspective of outrage amongst the American people, we just has 3 soldiers captured, summarily executed, and their bodies thrown into the Euphrates river. But where is the outrage as a nation?
It sickens me that this has happened Hawk. At some point, however, 'rage' needs to be replaced by thought and consideration that is reflective of our enemy and it's merit. We are fighting terrorists, not a nation. Killing their enemy is a singular battle tactic, there are no prison camps for American soldiers. When they have us they also have nothing to do with us but to execute us. Beheading is more impactful on us than other forms of death. It is ancient and graphic but I don't consider it more brutal than some other options that would be slow and torturous. The bottom line is, if we are enraged we still haven't come to terms with who we are at war with. Let's use our heads and do the job that needs to get done. We are at war with an enemy that will kill or be killed at all events. Stop pussy footing around and kill them. No surrender unless it is complete surrender, including information that could be used to further attacks. Our new motto should be surrender immediately or die. That is far more quarter than they are giving us and much more humane, moral and conscientious than sitting around discussing whether or not to torture them. |
