Still nothing huh?
straw man
I said you made a straw man tbh.
Consider that added.
Still nothing huh?
As a straw man argument, this added nothing to the conversation.
so if soldiers raping little boys is so common, Im sure supreme guy can find multiple examples in the last hundred years, regardless of whether it was the "good" or "bad" guys doing it. Or do we have to go back to the Romans? The world has changed a wee bit since then. Thats a war crime, just like the abuses at abu grhaib and guantanamo. Saying "thats just war" is asinine, more so when the soldiers raping are from the country that started the war, worse still under the premise that the war was to "free" the people.
It was so much harder to argue against american imperialism pre 911 when the US actually pretended to care about human rights, this is disgusting and no one will be held responsible for it. And the next attack it will be "they hate us for our freedom!" (to bomb, torture and rape with impunity)
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite posters tbh....Man, we would all be talking German right now if we had this many people constantly criticizing our war tactics in WW1 or WW2, tbh. I can just imagine some asshole politicians telling Patton that he can't attack heavily populated areas and that he's supposed to keep the civilian death toll down to a minimum or he'd be tried for war crimes.
yep, if Patton killed 1000s of civilians and Truman killed 100Ks of Japanese civilians, then it means whatever USA does, it's ok. and/or does it mean that USA is not as angelic, freedom!, democracy! as "Christian" USA's self-glorifying myth preaches.
Could it be, horrors!, that USA and it humans aren't exceptional, not really Better Than All The Rest?
Ask Your Doctor, before taking USA Freedom! and Democracy Therapy. Side effects may be rape, murder, genocide, depleted uranium, decades-long pollution, torture, infrastructure destruction, installation/support of corrupt govt, birth defects, wide spread death.
Just keep repeting "Above All, USA Does No Harm"
Results May Vary, but USA Freedom! and Democracy! therapy has failed to cure for 70 years.

straw man smack = grammar smack = spelling smack
We didn't in WWII but yeah in all of our losing efforts since then we have tried to pretend war could be cleaned up nice and pretty like.
Dunno about that. Nam was pretty messy. Desert storm pretty clean IIRC...
A lot easier to 'win' when you have actual goals, I suppose...
nope, the US military totally SLAUGHTERED the RETREATING Iraqi Army. In the mythical Old West, shooting somebody in the back was dishonorable.
Killing people is the point of war, usually soldiers or enemy combatants. Raping children is something completely different and chalking it up to war makes no sense
No one here is saying it doesn't happen, but killing the enemy is the point of war. Raping children is just sick and has nothing to do with battles, tactics, or anything. imho raping a child >>>> killing an adult.
@ Boo watching Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers.
This just confirms why Boo believes cops should defeat bad guys by shooting their guns out of their hands.
"Killing people is the point of war"
The First Gulf war was OVER. The Iraqis had collapsed, were retreating, the US killers mowed them down, blew them up. The excuse I heard was the essentially "boys will be boys"
This just confirms why Boo believes cops should defeat bad guys by shooting their guns out of their hands.
I also learned that "the only good injun is a dead injun"
This just confirms why Boo believes cops should defeat bad guys by shooting their guns out of their hands.
So when your enemy retreats....you just let them go, let them resupply, regroup, and come again?
Fantastic logic. If you were in the military you would advance to the rank of General or Admiral in no time.
I guess the British were gutless worms for continuing to attack the retreating colonists during the revolutionary war? And I guess the colonists were gutless worms for resorting to "guerrilla warfare" and not standing in an open field shooting at one another. Cause this was the "honorable" thing to do at the time.
Shut the up. They were soldiers, THAT is part of war...
