In the heat of battle, all civility takes a back seat to survival...ask ANY VETERAN that's been in any type of fire-fight...
Now, fresh from the battlefield is Akmed...with an attitude...
Guess who else is going to have the winning attitude and be able to enforce it?
That's the type of scene that was going on early in the campaign...
Now, a few years later, things are a bit more calm...or should be...
Sure, the US had a chip on its shoulder...and the US didn't want anyone exploding bombs around their personnel and related contacts...
Akmed and company couldn't care less...but as their numbers dwindled, they became not so much the problem as more of a nuisance...
So, we feed 'em sugar-free cookies and a few Happy Meals (personally, I'd consider the Happy Meal an insult...) for the sake of information/misinformation...
TBD...
Here's the problem we're having now...too many arm-chair critics pretending outrage at what needed to be done at the moment...they didn't want to fight or volunteer to go after the bad guys...but they managed to get themselves in positions of "judgement" of those that had to clean up the messes, go after the perps and related dirty work...
I say let them play their little games but leave it in an "advisory scenario" only...no criminal charges unless there were GRIEVIOUS CRIMINAL ACTIONS on the part of the US or its contractors...and leave it under the military standards and NOT the civilian standards...
These folks weren't swept off the streets after crossing against a red light or were caught J-walking...there are/were legitimate charges/allegations against each one - all occuring during hostilities...not during a drunken brawl. Let the military finish it off and shut it down...but applying civilian standards against military combatants is appeasing Lefties and Socialists and doesn't contribute anything to the good and welfare of the United States...
Instead, it just sets the US up for another USS Cole-like situation...or worse...and we've been there already...
Just hate to see it again...but I'd be dreaming...
