It's little wonder the insurgent-groups never seem to have a shortage of eager new recruits...

Honestly, this is the sort of thing you'd expect to hear from Warsaw '44.

Yup.

There's also shit like....

Wasn't well publicized. Obviously. At least he's in prison for life now.

Our record for punishing these murdering fucks is spotty at best. Life for the above? Not for the Wuterich guy from the OP? Headshots? On civilians? Indoors? That's on purpose. I don't want any excuses about panic or "I wasn't there" bullshit... fuck that. You have eyes and a brain.

I also find it funny that people are getting all righteous that a military or a country values the lives of their soldiers or citizens more than another countries citizens. Well No **** Sherlock. I sure as hell like the fact my government thinks protecting me and other US citizens more than some other people in some godforsaken ****hole country overseas. If it was a choice between me dying or 100 Iraqis, N. Koreans, etc. I mean why should a commander care more about the enemy than his own men.I would be ecstatic that the government will try to save me over the lives of the other 100 people. Why should a Govt. put another country's citizens on the same level as their own electorate (you know, the people they have a "responsibility to"). And I dare you guys to claim otherwise.
