Powerplay, are you talking about Cambodia in reference to Vietnam, because they're borders were being greatly threatened by raids and such.

Ahhhh, so what Powerplay is saying is that we need to invade other countries even if they vote in communist governments cause they dont know better , gotta correct their mistakes and all. Even if it means installing a regieme thats probaby equal, if not worse than the possible 'evil' regime they would have voted in. Democracy is so beautiful. Ah, I could re-write this better if i was sober, you get the idea though........

I think we've found out why all your posts are as fucking stupid as they are. You're drunk! I have to say, I feel much better knowing that the only way a person could post the kind of crap you do is because their brain has been destroyed by glorious Canadian Beer which is second only to America's major brands in utter shittiness.

Only tonight my friend, only tonight. For the record, i'm willling to debate my previous statement, and others if you so wish. Of course if you want to believe that all my prevous posts were made under the influence, your welcome to, if that helps to come to terms with the government you voted in and all....

C-Bacon is digging an even bigger hole for himself than usual by supporting the anti-semetic, anti-democracy, anarchist jackass known as Noam Chomsky.

 

Since people seem to keep missing this one when I've posted it, yet again here is a detailed account of Chomsky's anti-semetic, holocaust-denying politics.

 

And here is a detailed rebuttal of Chomsky and Hermann's Nation article.

Um, when have they VOTED IN a Communist gov't? And it's ironic as hell that --- even if they did vote one in (which I've never heard of), a legitimate second election NEVER seems to occur. Bizarre.

 

You'd think the Communists would be all for elections.

Even if it means installing a regieme thats probaby equal, if not worse than the possible 'evil' regime they would have voted in.

Sadly, few regimes are worse than Communist regimes. Hell, Hitler wasn't as bad as Stalin --- and that isn't easy to pull off.

Nah. You being a lush isn't the problem

Trust me, I needed some whiskey shots before I could muster the courage to enter the booth to vote for Bush. But I would have had to be totally ripped to vote for Kerry. Even in that state, however, I would probably still take the ignorant garbage you post just as seriously as I do now.

This topic has brought up a debate on several conservative blogs.

 

Namely, it has brought up the case of Henry Tandey.

 

Tandey was a British infantryman in World War I who, on 9/28/18, came across a bleeding German corporal while attacking enemy trenches near the French town of Marcoines.

 

He found the German and had the opportunity to kill him.

 

He chose not to. He allowed the man to live.

 

The corporal, of course, was Cpl. Adolf Hitler.

 

So, was he right in permitting one of the biggest slaughterers in the history of the world to survive when he had the chance to kill him before the horror of Nazi Germany could have been brought to life?

Yes. He had no way of knowing the atrocities that that Corporal would commit years later, and hindsight is almost always 20/20.

 

In this recent case with the Marine however, I believe he is more than justified given the insurgent's tactics of booby trapping their dead and wounded.

 

Certain rules of war, like taking prisoners, should only be followed when both sides decide to follow them. If one side decides to violate the Conventions then why should the other be forced to uphold them?

Absolutely yes. Wow, that's absolute prattle, and a horrible way for conservative blogs to be making an argument in favor of the marine's actions. The time/space case is such nonsense.

I know --- pondering moral questions with concrete examples is BAD. Real bad. Nothing on God's earth could be worse than that. Pure evil that stuff is.

 

Best to just hang the Marine for making a very legitimate decision because hindsight is SO easy to pull off.

...And, for what it's worth, few feel that Handey should have killed Hitler, either...

UPDATE

 

The marine in question has been completely absolved and will face no penalties.
