No, I’m observing that one man can give an order, but it’s the responsibility of the man who pulls the trigger to choose to pull it or not pull it.

They aren’t responsible for the existence of the order. They’re responsible for following it,

This is Obama’s army, they are his orders, the buck stops with Obama! Why is Code Pink not protesting at the White House? If Bush had bombed a hospital they would be out there screaming.

Would you be screaming at Bush if that were the case?

One of the statements I heard Doctors without Borders was, “they came back again and again to bomb the facility.” It was not a one bomb drop accidentally. They dropped bombs circled and came back and dropped more.

Putin is killing terrorists.
Obama is killing doctors.

Yes, the guys in the air knew it was a hospital. Whether it was marked or not. They questioned the order. They were told to shoot.

They should have flown away.

There is no reason to be in Afghanistan any more. Period. We are not keeping any peace. The training is a joke. The number of troops we are leaving there is too small to do anything effective.

So one has to wonder, why would we continue to leave troops in a place with no value, no national interest, no benefit to the US.

Unless there is a benefit.

$1 Trillion in Rare Earth Elements. Probably more.

This is the same protection racket we set up for the Gulf States. Except our Military is broke.

I think they are more broke than many are being lead to believe. I think its possible we are so broke we cannot fight the smallest of wars. Our ability to project force is being limited.

Think Russian Military in 1988.

Why are we, the people of the US, allowing this to continue?

AND Sec. of State Hillary Clinton BOASTED on SeeBS News: “We came, We saw, HE DIED!!! cackle cackle” when a POW named Momar Gadaffi was tortured, abused and murdered. That was OUR state department admitting to involvement in a war crime.

There is no reason to be in Afghanistan at all. We didn’t find Osama there. We have planned deals with the Taliban so we aren’t there to depose them. We DID depose Saddam Hussein. We DID whack Momar Gaddafi (although we were not even at WAR with Libya).

If it were ISIS who bombed the hospital, would you blame ISIS or the doctors?

The nerve of those doctors, tending to the sick and injured in a war zone. They should leave and let more children suffer after being hit by drones and bombs.

Really, so the nazi soldiers aren’t responsible for herding millions to their deaths?

How long have you defended those who were “just following orders?”

Doctors Without Borders may be just a bunch of lefties, but at least they put their money with their mouth is.

I think you implicitly recognize that president Obama is sabotaging the military

It’s clever to say those with a conscience must follow it. It does not absolve those without conscience like president Obama.

You know exactly what you are doing here. I’m not fooled.

For all Obama’s faults, he did not pull the trigger. The people in the cockpit chose to pull the trigger.

Plenty can be laid to rest at his feet. But unless you’d be demanding Bush be held accountable for pulling the trigger, lay the blame for each person’s decisions at their own feet.

“Just following orders” hasn’t been a valid excuse for a long time.

The Muslims hide behind women, children, schools. Churches, and hospitals. Bomb them were they hide!

I could care less about these inbred savages that rape, murder, and pillage. Kill them all and let their moon god sort it all out.
