How Could This Happen?

[DrMike]

The headline reads, "Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist." The article (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,576646,00.html) details that a complaint by a captured terrorist--to Iraqi authorities--has resulted in charges against the seals. The alleged charge is that one hit the terrorist and split his lip. Is this a war we are fighting? Or is this a police action? I am aghast that such a charge could even be brought in this instance.

Apparently they can knock down the twin towers and we can't even punch them in the face.
:evil:
The seals shouldn't have brought the guy in, if you know what I mean.

We are destroying the most honourable men in the nation through such actions. It betrays a self-destructive attitude which has historically characterised the "cultural elite" as endemic among the political leaders. When we have destroyed our military, who will defend the nation? We are turning from being peace makers into becoming peace keepers, and ultimately there ain't no such creature as a "peace keeper" if there is no willingness to be a "peace maker."
