The use of the soldier for propaganda purposes we view as against international law
Thank you very much Capt Jon Stock, US military spokesperson in Kabul. Do you really honestly for one tiny second think that the freedom fighters of Afghanistan give a monkey’s brown shit about ‘international law’? They aren’t fighting a nice media friendly police action to spur on their economy or show the rest of the world how tough they are, they are fighting for their lives as invaders have been occupying their country and shooting their place up for nearly a decade.
These plucky little bastards fought off the USSR so they’re not going to play nicely and make it all look like war is a pleasant and friendly place to be. They won’t stop themselves from waterboarding, castrating and then gutting this poor guy who should never have been there in the first place.
The UK recently lost a few guys in Afghanistan; guys who signed up to protect their country but ended up being shipped half way around the world to invade some else’s country. Try telling their folks about your precious international law.
War is nasty. Really fucking nasty. Making up some rules about how war should be fought stops it being a war and makes it a sport. We’re playing games with our soldiers’ lives while the other side are fighting for their lives, fighting for their families and fighting for their homeland.
You can’t have it both ways
Here’s a little message for the dumbass americans that are now choosing to whine about the use of torture:
President Obollocks has issued an order to prohibit the use of torture techniques; any use from that point on is not authorised and the people concerned can be bitchslapped to high heaven. Any previous use of torture was authorised right up to the office of Presidential Warlord El Busho, the bloke you guys voted for; if anyone should have their back against the wall it’s him and not his mindless brainwashed drones who were just following orders. Also, on a side note, if you want to fight a war on a trumped up idea of a terror threat then you have to accept that some of the darker agencies of you country are going to do some nasty things to fight that war; waterboarding a few innocent suspects is childsplay compared to this.
Retrospectively prosecuting people for doing their jobs is just retarded, I am not defending what they did but at the time it was authorised by the crazy warmongering bandito that was elected to the White House.
It’s almost as retarded as blaming bankers for the current economic fucktardery even though they were just acting in the best interests of their employers and customers and within the laws set out by the government we all elected.
