Slaughtering Prisoners in Iraqi Jails

[muckmaw]

Terrorists wove taken an American Marine Hostage and threaten to kill him have demanded the release of prisoners in Iraqi jails.

I know we have to take the high road here, and I don;t necessarily agree with it.

But what if we sent them a video of the prisoners they want released with guns to THEIR heads.

Kill your prisoners, and we kill ours.

I already know what some of you are going to say....

The high road sux sometimes.

They can't be trusted. When we release the prisoners we have they will probably kill the prisoner they have of ours. Even if US considered something like pointing a gun to their heads, I'm not sure the Iraqi's would even care they died. It would just probably give them another reason to keep this kind of behavior up.

Seriously - just imagine their reaction if we actually ABUSED the prisoners instead of snapped a few pictures!

I know what ya mean, but there really is not alot we can do about it. The actions chosen are not necessarily the best ones, but thats not our decision to make.

Sure, everyone would agree that taking a picture of a man naked is worse than beheading a man with a dull knife, taking 10 minutes to do it while the person screams and suffers.  Much worse.

What a stupid fxck you must be to make such a statement.

And next you will say Bush is worse than Hitler.

Difference is... the guys who took the pictures and whatnot were punished by the US military (court marshal or whatever)

On the other hand the guys who torture US troops are encouraged by their superiors

There will be a price to pay for murdering marines or soldiers horrifically on video. Their comptratiots will likely pay it when they attempt to surrender after a fierce fight.

You were never in a fraternity were you...

if you think that was more than juvenile horsepoo rough housing, then you need to get your head examined.

Tell ya what, while I will not back this up with any proof or discuss it further, training for certain elements of the US military was a lot rougher and meaner than we saw in those Iraqi prisons (minus the sexual stuff, thats just perverted trailer trash getting out of control).  I can say this, as I often enough posed as opforce and was meant to be captured to allow our guys the chance to handle a "live prisoner".  Two broken ribs, a nose, and numerous bruises, scrapes, and cuts later, and I am no worse for wear, much like those "abused prisoners".  War is mean, hellacious, and the most horrible thing imaginable, but guess what, it is war, and if "roughing up" a prisoner to garner intel that makes the war end sooner or keeps our guys safe, I am all for it.  So get a grip, don't try to compare terrorists beheading ta man slowly and maliciously to that of what happened in that Iraqi prison, they are not even remotely the same.

to all you coalition and US soldiers over there hanging it out.  You are truly great people, each and every one of you.  I you eternally.

Not saying it's the right thing to do:


But a young Major was faced with an uprising of Muslim extremist in the early 1920's in the Philipines.  After they brutally murdered a US Army soldier the US Army captured a few of the extremist responsible.  

They were tried sentenced to be executed by firing squad.  At their execution the Major made an anouncement.  Any Muslim that committed such acts would be meet the same fate.

The prisoners where tied to a stake to be executed by firing squad.  Before the sentence was carried out a pig was brought out and slaughtered.  The ammunition for the firing squad was soaked in the pigs blood and the prisoners where allowed to watch the firing squad detail reach into the blood soak pile of ammunition and load thier rifles.

All but one of the prisoners was shot with these bullets.  The surviving prisoner was ordered to dig graves for his compatriots.  Their bodies were placed in the graves along with the cut up remains of the hog.  The last prisoner was released and instructed to go back and tell his comrades that the same fate awaited them if they continued to murder US soldiers.

Major MacArthur had no further problems with Muslim extremist and for almost 50 years there was peace.
