longonshit, So does humam sacrifice, but it doesn't make it right.
Torturing of prisoners probably goes back 100,000 years.
Are you really this stupid, or just pretending to be (no need to answer, it is a rhetorical question, which your every post answers again and again).
What is this 'colonial warfare" more 'feel good' libspeak?
Margolis uses the "colonial warfare" to refer to tactics used in colonial wars. Quoting from the article:
"Protracted guerrilla warfare eventually turns even the best-disciplined troops into brutes, and corrupts entire governments." Colonial troops in Kenya, Algeria, Angola, Mozambique, Palestine, Indochina, Kashmir, Timor, Aceh, and Chechnya all became infected with brutality and sadism.
Americans, in spite of their deep respect for law and human rights, are not immune to such corruption. During the 1900-1904 conquest of the Philippines, U.S. forces killed 50,000-100,000 Muslim civilians. Few recall that U.S. forces in Vietnam threw prisoners from helicopters, burned them alive with white phosphorus, or wiped out entire villages without a second thought. The communist enemy was even more merciless. |
