Photos show U.S. GIs posing with dead Afghans[W:1146]

The military will investigate and judge if necessary - not you.

as they should.

meanwhile, as we live in a democracy where Freedom of Speech is respected, an as I am a taxpayer and a citizen, I have every right to commend & condemn our sodliers, when they do good things or bad.

and that's the way it will stay.
 
Latino is not a race. Latinos are white, black, Asian, and a mixture of all three.

Latinos are Asian? :lamo

My sig keeps getting better and better.
 
Criticizing them, without having been there and done that is a violation of common decency....

utter bull****. Its my right & even obligation, to condemn our soldiers when they **** up and commend them when they do good.

...They allow you to sleep easy at night and shuck your own reponsibility to serve your country...you've gotten your money's worth.

I serve my country in my own way. I have nothing to apologize for.
 
i pay taxes,therefore during active duty i paid a small % of my own paycheck that went towards,well my paycheck:confused:
 
My point is, moral high ground don't mean **** on the battlefield.

You should be licking these guy's asses, because if not for them, your ass might be out there on that battlefield.

Killing on a battle field and mocking the dead and posing dead bodies for pictures are completely different things. There are lines you just dont cross on the battlefield, and especially not well after a battle. I expect these soldiers, who are there representing America. How would any of you like it if you son, brother, father or friend died in Afghanistan and a bunch of people there held up his remains in an effort to mock his death? How about if you mom or wife died and some iraqis took pictures tea bagging her? You gonna shrug it off like oh well its fine. my mom deserve to be violated in death.

Again, you don't what you are talking about...You're out of your lane

The only Law of Land Warfare is stay ****ing alive and keep as many of your people alive as you can while you get the mission done. Anything else are artificial bs rules imposed on an impossible situation by people that are not there and do not face the beast.
 
again with the pathetic race-baiting. is that the only card you have?

You don't have the authority to judge these men. Only a courts martial, convened under the Uniform Code of Military Justice has that authority. They will be judged by a jury of their peers...which you are light years from being. :rofl
 
Unless you've seen combat, you don't get to bitch, judge or anything else.​
Civilians can't relate to the pressures of war placed upon soldiers, but they can most certainly judge their actions. In some cases they are being idealistic and naive, but there are certainly deviant acts (This one doesn't qualify in my estimation) that call for rebuke.

sorry friend, but the USA is a signatory of the Geneva Conventions, and the UN Charter. And we have a military code of conduct, which certainly doesn't allow such actions as those mentioned in the OP.

any soldier who refuses to abide by these laws, rules & regulations...has no business in the military as they are likely to commit a war crime.
 
sorry, but my taxdollars pay for these folks. so just as I get to commend their bravery & courage, I also get to condemn them when they **** up.

or would you prefer we lend a blind eye to violations of common decency?

maybe we shouldn't put soldiers on trial when they kill civilians?

You, nor anyone else in this country, has the right to condemn anyone.

There is no murder in combat - there is only KIA and FIDO
 
No Latinos are of the Asian race? you clearly don't know a thing about Hispanics.

No, they can't. Hence the reason for courts martial and no civilian trials for service members.
 
I have every right to condemn their actions. And that's the way its gonna be.

You do not get to judge unless you have held the crying 20 year-old widow of a member of your squad.

You can't condemn anyone, for anything.

Perhaps you should purchase a dictionary.

I was referring to judgement in the verbal and demonstrative sense, obviously not in the judicial sense.
 
who ruled the Phillipines from 1565 till 1898?

Spain.

case closed.

not really closed at all,under all classifications they are listed as pacific islander,same as people from guam and hawaiian natives.plus their languages are english and tagolog
 
sure I can. I can condemn our soldiers when they **** up and I shall continue to do so.

Yep! I see a new dictionary in your future. Or, perhaps, a copy of The Constitution. Re-read the part about, "a jury of his peers".
