Micheal Schuber Interview-CIA

[275RLTW]

Why do we play by the rules and our enemies don't ? Why does world opinion run our wars ? They behead our people on TV and it disappears. We embarrass some prisoners and it's a worldwide incident. The list goes on yet we bow to public opinion instead of ending these conflicts and taking care of our own domestic problems.

Because it's not vengance we're after. Yes, war would be easier if we did those things mentioned before (I highly encourage them against known combatants), however, the blanket bombing of a civilization, regardless of how misled and off base, is criminally and morally wrong (by any religion). I agree that we should punish every single threat to our nation (preferably with lead injections to the head), but not everyone that doesn't like us. Our soldiers are professional warriors, not barbaric, self rightous idiots laying waste to everything. Yes, it is difficult seeing the atrocities that others to to us, but we are better people than that and do so by proving it with our character, composure, skill, and dedication on the battlefield. Any idiot can shoot a gun in combat, a warrior does so appropriately and with HONOR. There is no honor in what our enemy does, I agree 100%, but there is much honor gained from the professonalism our soldiers display in combat, and in reconstruction of those in need of help. Honor is expensive, and it's usually paid for in blood, but it is what separates us from them.

I'm not saying we should torture or behead our enemies. But I would not risk the life of even one of our warriors to save 100,000 of those who not only condone, but also give support by letting the enemy hide among them. wwpd (what would Patton do?)

wwpd (what would Patton do?)

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
-Patton (September 1933)

Much better stated than mine. And a boat load more diplomatic.
