Here is how 'fair' war should be!
Sirhr
Others just shoot their mouth off, poorly.Well, you practice. Badly.
I don’t actually disagree that the opinions of those with experience doing _______ are worth listening to and their opinions likely hold more weight than those without said experience. But I think that all opinions rate being said. I’m pretty sure that’s what you fought for.Everyone is entitled to their opinions. My opinion is that if you haven’t experienced __________, then you don’t rate to give an opinion about ________. That being said, I stand by my opinion that this was a bad move and that a lot of the blind support that follows it is toxic and ignorant. I’m sorry if you need a safe space and that a differing opinion online upsets you.
Also, the crayon thing is overplayed.
Nah it’s all good in the hood. No nerves hit, but I stand by what I said. Unfortunately I just realized that I don’t rate to talk on this as I didn’t commit war crimes on any of my deployments. So I don’t have a leg to stand on.I don’t actually disagree that the opinions of those with experience doing _______ are worth listening to and their opinions likely hold more weight than those without said experience. But I think that all opinions rate being said. I’m pretty sure that’s what you fought for.
What I don’t think is that someone should tell me who I should or should not listen to and whether or not I should have an opinion. That’s the crux of my post.
And you are right, I did over play the last comment. I was in the moment of sarcastic humor.
Also, lololol how you try to make me the one who can’t handle a differing opinion.![]()
I’m not the one trying to shut people down who voice opinions other than my own. I even lauded your telling me how I should act and think, though it was admittedly full on sarcasm.
Maybe my previous last comment wasn’t over the top and hit a nerve. ?
Yay. He fucking pardoned war criminals. Our enemies don’t even have to fucking hire propaganda specialists anymore. Yay.
Just an FYI... Fuck anyone who supports this move.
#NotTrollingAndDeadSeriousSoFuckAnyoneWhoCantSeeHowThisIsTheBestCaseForThoseThatWantToDoUsHarm
Ya got me. My cover has been blown. Communist lefty here. Shit. All those years deep undercover wasted.You gotta love the closet leftists and communists hiding on pro-gun websites.
Were you there? Do you have evidence of their guilt you forgot to get to the prosecutors in time?
Having seen the UCMJ in action, I'd side with these three guys any day of the week. I personally know of a rape victim and is was 100% a rape by a Lt. Commander in the Navy of an E-5 in his chain of command. Everyone from NCIS to the ship's commander worked to court martial her as a seductress for illegally seducing a senior officer who offered her a ride to a unit party, then drove her 100 miles away to an empty hotel bar. They tried to ruin her life over this incident and hounded her out of the Navy.
From my personal experience, I walked into work one Monday and was read my rights because someone somewhere thought I had broken equipment that made their job impossible. The someone was a fucking alkie who was months behind on his job, the section chief loved him, they were drunks together. Of course is was bullshit. After I was read my rights, I declined to answer questions and requested a lawyer 38 times in the next four hours. Even the Security Forces guys watching my questioning began questioning the process. Not being an idiot myself, I knew it was pointless to use facts with this pair of scientists, I'd wait for a lawyer.
Here is the best joke of the day, a JAG lawyer (prosecutor) and an ADC lawyer ( the turd the military gives you for free) can work either side of the case. If a defense lawyer wins too often, they simply make them a JAG lawyer. If a JAG lawyer turns out to be borderline retarded, they make him an ADC lawyer. No lawyer working for the military actually gives a shit about "attorney/client privilege", if you confess to your military lawyer, you might find out he is a tennis buddy with the prosecutor and is telling him everything you say. In my case, the ADC lawyer could not believe we were wasting her time with crap like this. Every single thing was easily rebutted with the most basic check or simple phone call. But, she still asked me to "confess to her so she could evaluate the issues", hahahahahaha. I explained the concept of innocent and declined.
This horseshit of course turned out to be horseshit but for a month of my career, this officer made my life a hell. Every review of the issue proved me innocent of anything, every person they spoke with said as much. Most of all, nothing was ever actually broken and yet this crap kept on going. Eventually, the group commander stepped in and put a stop to this crap. This high quality officer still had my end of tour medal quashed because of this crap. My guys framed the "citation to accompany the award" and presented it to me at my bbq and thanked me for all the hard work. They were proud to serve with me and that was more than enough thanks.
Yeah we get it lefty........................................orange man bad. Go fly your stupid inflatable dolly.
Dudes with no experience always commenting about things they don’t rate to open their sucks about. There are rules in war for a reason and we follow those rules for a reason. When we stop abiding by the rules, we become no better than the ones we are fighting. Blind nationalism is a dangerous thing.
Everyone here who thinks that the Geneva conventions shouldn't be followed because "its war man" is profoundly ignorant. The US is not always going to be only fighting insurgents, I guess the next time we ever have to fight a near-peer adversary you won't think twice about how fair it is that our troops are killed or tortured after surrendering. No, you'd all be clamoring for a Nuremberg 2.0 to hang those responsible while spending half your paycheck on POW/MIA t-shirts.
Hell why not get rid of all of the rules of war? Torture everyone and rape and pillage every town we come across. Literally no downside, its impossible for anything to come back around and bite us right?
Remember though, the first rule of debating on the internet is if you disagree with them, call them communists.
I'm all for "THE RULES OF WAR", according to the Geneva Convention. Just one question for ya, do you think the ME/ISIS, are playing by the rules of engagement?? It is war and like all things bloody, it sucks. Just say'n. MacEveryone here who thinks that the Geneva conventions shouldn't be followed because "its war man" is profoundly ignorant.

Fuck I wish, buy AI's in every caliber there is.Oligarch!
Better watch out man, keep that attitude up and your cover is going to get blown.

Yeah so quoting Jarhead and swapping the words around to change the entire meaning to something nonsensical doesn't make you sound profound."A boy hears nothing but contempt for America for many years. Years later he goes off to war. And afterwards he comes home, and he sees that whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always be a leftist. And all the Americans dying, they will never be me, because I am still a leftist with contempt for America."
That your karma title is CSM is a fucking joke. These dudes fucked up and were shitcanned by their own men. Senoir NCOs and Officers have an even greater responsibility to exceture the mission within the legal requirements of the roe. In two of the three cases they were clearly no longer in battle, so heat of the moment arguments mean jack shit. Execution of the mission needs to be precise, and it’s up to Sncos and officers to make it happen. These men did way, way less.The way you destroy a police force or an army... is to make it unappealing to the best and the brightest.
You do this by making it impossible to do their jobs. And by prosecuting those who try to. By smothering them with rules of engagement. By destroying their traditions. By lowering standards or changing them admit undesireable or inappropriate people and put them in jobs they are not suited for. By making their leadership political, not skills/merit driven. By substituting 'field-skills' training for political indoctrination (let's try eliminating Control and Restraint training... and substitute 8 hours of training of "Dealing with Same Sex Domestic Violence... or eliminating range to talk about "Single Gender Bathrooms." It's happening.
Then have your sheep protest them, call them baby killers, make them ashamed of their uniforms. Harass them at home. Spit on them in airports and call them 'baby killer.' Pour water on them. Assault people in front of them while telling them to stand down... and while having your Baa-Baa types yell at them. Have the media denigrate them at every turn (you know.... your tame media!) Prosecute soldiers and let terrorists go... destroy police for justified use of force... but never, ever prosecute a single gangbanger for shooting a 6 year old girl on Halloween... You know... that stuff.
Where do the best and brightest go? Not there!
Once you have a hollow shell, you can fill it with the weak, the stupid, the easily led, and your own army of, say, brownshirts or ready-to-go Komsomol-types and your politically-reliable thugs. Who could give a crap about the Constitution or the law or your oath... you just do what you are told for political reasons... never questioning a thing.
Why would anyone want to do that??? What would be the point of doing that to our military and police? What would you be trying to transform????
Humm.... Bueller? Bueller?

Get the fuck out of here with your deep state never served past spec 4 bullshit
I don’t know much about any of these especially the ones not involving a SEAL. I do believe that Eddie was the subject of over zealous prosecution. The others I have no idea.Everyone is entitled to their opinions. My opinion is that if you haven’t experienced __________, then you don’t rate to give an opinion about ________.

You do realize that what you have described has happened in every war since the beginning. That’s the way it is. You better be on my side when shit goes down here.Everyone here who thinks that the Geneva conventions shouldn't be followed because "its war man" is profoundly ignorant.

So by your own logic we should never get mad at any US soldier getting tortured or killed right? because thats "the way it is" right? Because that sounds pretty stupid.You do realize that what you have described has happened in every war since the beginning. That’s the way it is. You better be on my side when shit goes down here.
Others just shoot their mouth off, poorly.
Are we basing cool guy points on likes? Isn’t that what millennials do? Aren’t we supposed to hate millennials? Shit I’m confused. Remember kids, paddle your own canoe and don’t think that you’re right just because others applaud you in an echo chamber.Judging by the amount of likes on my comments vs yours, you suck.

In the spirit of the honorable and patriotic status of being an "American"- leftists aren't.

That fucking book/movie sucked.
Waaah! I didnt get to kill someone with my high speed Sniper rifle! Waaah!
Fuck him!
Some of the stupid games seemed legit but the premise of the kids crying totally sucks.
As a sniper, that would be worth crying over. Sure it’s only 10% of the gig, but that 10% is definitely worth crying over.That fucking book/movie sucked.

It wasnt right, but it happens.
Thing about Dachau one man stood out and made a difference. He maintained his humanity in an inhumane place. Ditto My Lai. One man swam against the tide.
These were real attrocities though. Not fog of war judgement calls of the moment.

If you’re commenting on this thread and you don’t have a CIB you need to shut the fuck up......
My Lai, and the .mil justice system, has always stuck in my craw. Not condoning Calley's action, but CMs should have gone further up the chain. According to what I've read, His CO gave orders to kill everything. He was specifically asked, "Women and children?" "Everything."
As a sniper, that would be worth crying over. Sure it’s only 10% of the gig, but that 10% is definitely worth crying over.
Unlawful orders are not an excuse.
Too bad this guy isnt celebrated when My Lai is spoken of....

100% did his job, regardless, and that’s all that matters. The most accurate part of that movie, besides the crying, is the jerking off hahaha.I get that its the "Big test" but how about being thankful he didnt have to take a life?
He did his job either way.

::hopes it involves jacking off a lot because it’s been so long since I’ve seen it that can’t remember if that happens in the movie or if it’s just what I did in every hide site while on a rest cycle:: #TheresDroneFootageOfThisBootJerkingItOnARooftopHideWhileOffGlassRotation #FOIAThatShit
Right. War SHOULD be anything goes. The enemy is trying to fucking kill you. Kill them first, by any means necessary.
Holy shit... I’m out. Y’all enjoy your war crimes.Here's what I've been saying forever. The only way to win a war is to make your enemy want to surrender.
How do you make someone who has zero morals or respect for life surrender? You break their will and kill everyone.
We don't have the stomach to fight in a level that would actually demoralize and terrify our enemy.
If we literally went village to village and just indescriminately killed every male, we would have been there a few years and killed all the fighters and will to fight for several generations.
On the flip side, there is no way you could ever ask our moral and ethical service members to commit the acts that it would take to truly win and take all the fight from the other side.
This is an amazing photo....

This is Lt col Felix sparks calling cease fire as his troops slaughter SS guards they were ordered to guard.
He is about to kick the machine gunner in the ass.
This is heroism.
Felix Sparks wants those SS Guards as dead as much his men do but he realizes there is a right way. Gunning them down with a M1919 is not the way.
This is atrocity.
It is more defined than that which Trump pardoned.
None of the soldiers in the unit that liberated Dachau were punished. The event was investigated by the mil.
I think they came to the right decision.
April and May of 1945 was not like the war was winding down. They were still fighting and these were guys that had been in contact almost daily and just came upon the horror of a concentration camp.
Are we basing cool guy points on likes? Isn’t that what millennials do? Aren’t we supposed to hate millennials? Shit I’m confused. Remember kids, paddle your own canoe and don’t think that you’re right just because others applaud you in an echo chamber.
