An American Hero

Discussion in 'Politics' started by Kicking, Jan 12, 2007.

  1. What in the hell is the point of this statement? They're soldiers!! By definition they are trained to do the opposite. That's the way an army works.

    These people (ZTroll-people) would likely have conflict resolution tents on the battlefield, where privates could discuss their orders with the commanding officer (with an arbiter and a lawyer present, of course).
    Perfect example of your muddled, PC-infested, culture-of-victimization way of thinking. Soldiers do not carry out their orders because it causes them less cognitive dissonance to do so without question, and thus to believe they are being good soldiers, than it would to admit that they question those orders and that their efforts might be in vain. Soldiers carry out their orders because that's their job - to carry out their orders. Your suggestion that they are in 'denial' is completely baseless - it is pure assertion.

    You (predictably) don't understand that a soldier might think that his efforts are in vain and that the strategy is misguided, but carry out his orders to the letter anyway.

    This is something that you would never understand, being the moral relativist that you are. Thank God people like you are the (despicable) minority.

  6. Just to point out... you are starting to use exactly the same techniques as the most despised member of this site. This is something Z does all the time when a post makes him uncomfortable. He cuts and pastes.

    You've also started to use the bizarre image post when you feel threatened - another Z riff.

    This is a disturbing development.

    batgirl, you're a bit of a joke here but you aren't in his league and you shouldn't demean yourself by using his techniques.

  8. Once again the same argument as Nazi "soldiers" gave.

    Just following orders...

  9. I see you have given the same non-argument, rather than to address any of the issues mentioned. Perhaps this just an argument technique. I'll take it as such.

    But do yourself a favor sometime. Review the Nuremberg trials. Take a look at how many "soldiers" were involved in them. The Nuremberg trials are not an argument or excuse for disobeying virtually any order. We have decades of case law that say other.

  10. Wow.... you are just as stupid as a post, aren't you? You can't parse meaning from the simplest statements. I meant that you're not as bad as he is, and this is obvious when the statement is taken in context.

    Re: last Friday... I noticed that the mods took down that garbage you posted. I guess I was right to show you my disgust...

    How does it feel to be wrong almost all the time?
