Hoon avoids 'napalm in Iraq' quiz

[Bronx Warlord]

So if a US soldier were lying injured being treated, an Iraqi could rightly place a gun against his head and fire it? Puh-leeze.

No they prefer to kidnap innocent civilians and aid workers, post them in videos on arab media and then put a gun to there head and shoot them.

Zulu your a smart boy, I know you read this

could and still be well within my ROE, he has a weapon and it has nothing to do with the red cross worker. Would I? no, contrary to what you think of me I am not some murderous miscreant looking for a few more kills.

If you spent less time trying to twist around what I say like some first year law student, and more time comming up with productive points and counterpoints this conversation could go somewere.

I've said this before-what is the difference between this, and burning civilians to death?

 

[Bronx Warlord]

Mabey because one is intentional murder, and the other is an unintended side effect of combat operations? I guess you see no distinction though, and that does not suprise me.

If we were in the business of targeting civilians, trust me, there would be a lot more dead civilians.

Yeah what wrong with napam ?

Its not as if Sending Abrams against insurgents armed with an AK is unsporting ?

Zulu your a smart boy, I know you read this

and its not like the US didn't know what it was getting itself into.
After all one can easily goggle past arab conflicts and easily understand the type of brutal warfare waged. Not to mention US experiance in Vietnam, Soviet experience in Afganistain, Isreal conflicts and French in Algeria

Good thing our commander knows all about history.

Having already been through this, I'll draw my breath my breath deeply and try once again:

That quote deals only with the iraqi insurgent, not the aid worker. I've already said that I didn't think you would shoot the aid worker; the confusion arose because you did imply that you would shoot on sight anyone of the age 15-60 providing aid to the enemy. And that point still hasn't been dealt with.
