Then please tell us what your personal viewpoint actually is! You are in the habit of pointing out our foibels, not realising that it takes a lot of guts to state your personal beliefs to hundreds of people and be able to take flak for it.
So pray, tell us where you lie. Or are you sitting on the fence?
As for combat, it's always funny that the soldiers and leaders on the losing side can be tried for war crimes such as murder, but those on the winning side can't.
I wonder what penalty the American and British leaders would have suffered if we were put on trial for killing 200,000 civilians with 2 bomb blasts over Japan?
Thanatos, would you fire missiles at a (suspiciously WTC shaped) building knowing that you would kill maybe 3000 civillians if you were ordered to by your superiors in the army?
Necessary element in social control...the populance must be made to fear the government lest they think they controll things...!

Within the MARINE CORPS... Affirmative.
Refusal to obey an order within war brings an instantaneous "courts martial, sentencing, and execution of sentence"... otherwise known as A BULLET IN THE HEAD. Service within war is about complete discipline, not choosing which orders you agree or disagree with and how you choose to respond to them. Orders are not for debate; they are to be followed to the letter!
But you already knew that, correct? <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Have not stated a position on abortion because I have no iron clad position.
What I was pointing to was the blatant hypocracy of claiming that it is immoral for the state to end a life for cause, but justify the individual to end a life for convenience...
And the uniform of exactly WHICH nation were they wearing? <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Y'all gots a special on RED HERRING today??? <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Whowhere who really cares if it deters anything? A lot of americans and I dare say euros not liberally brainwashed would agree - who wants to pay for some pig to be clothed, fed, sheltered and afforded medical care. For ME thats what it comes down to.
For me to pay for it in some weird way is in fact supporting murder, rape, child molestation and terrorism (yes I beleive rapists and child molestors should be shot). Its not revenge, its what's morally the acceptable thing to do.
