I suspect he was a putz too.
What a poor lost soul
He seems to thing that the 'rules of engagement' were invented '80 years after Lincoln's assassination'. LOL
He is willing to quote our ROE and the Geneva convention, but not the U.S. Constitution. Very telling
If you all wish to go out on your own, with your own ideologies inconsistent with the law and the implementation of it without proof
Um, really dude ?!?
And nobody has bothered to point out how you are wrong?
1. FREE SPEECH
We have the right of free speech.
2. PARDON AUTHORITY
The U.S. President is the Commander in Chief. He has the right to pardon.
So, care to read the U.S. Constitution. (and yes, it was written before the rules of engagement and the Geneva convention,.
“....because we play by the rules when they never will.”
Please show me where I said they were right for doing the things they do. If you construed that, you are absolutely wrong.
But at the same time, if you condone what Gallagher did, then you are supporting the same thing the Islamist terrorist do by supporting Gallagher. So, at that point, are our soldiers that do things no better than the terrorists do which causes you to hate them so much, and rightly, on the same level as they are? You’re putting them there.
If you don’t like the way the rules are, then contact your congressman and start actions to try to get them changed. I didn’t write them as I was in the crib when they were implemented in the late 40’s. And whether I agree with them or not, doesn’t mean a lot in the scheme of things. I worked in them for over 30 years and followed them. And that’s what make Gallagher and myself different.
And I can look at myself in the mirror every morning and not be embarrassed as to who I am or what I did in six downrange deployments in over 30 years to different locations, all combat related. I’ve been there. And I played by the rules. And that’s why I can disagree with what’s happened. That’s my right. And I’ve earned it. And I respect all your rights to disagree with me. But I can’t agree with you until you can show me where what he did is legal or even humane.
You all have a good Christmas. I’m tired of repeating myself showing the right places to read the rules and understanding them and being attacked for it. Don’t need it.
