WAR..What Part of The Word Don’t You Understand!
It infuriates me when these left wing elitists stand up and berate our military personnel about prisoner abuse, torture and minor assaults. WE ARE AT WAR! These combatants are trying to kill our soldiers and have been successful too many times and yet the Lib’s are fanatical about the rights of these guys. It’s all well and good that they want our Countries to be seen as kind and benevolent but for God’s sake not at the peril of our men on the battlefield. If our soldiers now have the additional burden of worrying whether their actions on the battlefield may one day come under the scrutiny of the main stream media will it cause them to hesitate one or two seconds too long and thus end up dead? We take these young men and we train them to kill efficiently in order to protect our citizens, our society and our Country. We put them in harm’s way and expect them to do things that the common politician wouldn’t even dream about. And then we jump on them if there is any sign of perceived brutality against their foes who by the way, would slit their throat without a thought if they had the chance. Think about the time when you were 18 to 25 and found yourself in a precarious situation where you had to defend yourself against an aggessive person. Would you be thinking about how to get out of the situation without causing your opponent any distress while you tried to save your own bacon. Of course not! Yet these loonies on the left want our soldiers to apply the Charter of Rights principals to their enemies while they are trying to stay alive. I would say to these pompous asses, “ Don’t try to judge these soldiers until you have walked in their shoes”. This is why the military should deal with their own and not put our troops in the civil arena. The other fallacy about this self righteous attitude is the one that says , if we show the world our passion for “being fair and just to all” they may decide to like us and copy our ways. Yet there is no evidence this has or ever will happen. It is a pipe dream that the left likes to trot out to justify their indefensible attacks on our military. In fact it is just the opposite because these vicious killers, dictators and religious fanatics see us as weak and vulnerable when we go after our own. Sure there are extreme cases of injustice within the military of which I would not argue, but those are few and far between and are generally handled expeditiously by the Military Justice System. War is not a pleasant walk in the park, it is a brutal battle to kill or be killed and our soldiers must be free to operate within rules that reflect their situation not the everyday rules that you and I must follow. Maybe one day these elite politicians will volunteer to fight for their Country and then see the light. Do ya think?
