Three more Great Americans are dead.

Three more families are in mourning.

Three more reasons why supporting this vile and unnecessary bloodshed is abhorrent.

We are in no danger from Iraq. Bring our troops home!!

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!

I agree, and no, I am not messing with you, I honestly agree with you that we need to bring our troops home NOW.

I'm personally upset that the rules of the Geneva Convention were not followed.

you cant just withdraw. That would leave a power vaccume which would allow another hussane to take over. Another great idea from the people who brought you national self determination.

"We give the good news ... to the Islamic nation that we have carried God's verdict by slaughtering the two captured crusaders," said the claim which appeared on an Islamic militant Web site where insurgent groups regularly issue statements.

"With God Almighty's blessing, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer carried out the verdict of the Islamic court" calling for the soldiers' slaying, the statement said.

The statement said the soldiers were "slaughtered," suggesting that al-Muhajer beheaded them. The Arabic word used in the statement, "nahr," is used for the slaughtering of sheep by cutting the throat and has been used in past statements to refer to beheadings.

I'm certain that we'll soon be hearing the outrage from Amnesty International and other left wing groups. There will be calls for investigations, trials, and who knows, maybe the left wing organizations will even call for the insurgents to pull out their forces, cut and run so to speak.

I didn't read the article, but if it's the same people me and my fellow Marines were talking about yesterday then the leadership of those soldiers needs to be put on trial. How do you put just three soldiers at a checkpoint in the middle of nowhere?

 

[MercuryAndy]

you could give them a tank i guess.

 

[Yusuf Evans]

you could give them a tank i guess.

Or just 4 Marines.

We never should've went over there. Thousands of lives lost, and now our military will be spread very thin if trouble decides to come from either Iran or North Korea.

Tanks don't defend or control ground by themselves. They are themselves very vulnerable and can't operate in built up areas without infantry support.

Sorry for going all technical on you, it's the ex-armour officer in me.

Those rules have been ignored across the board since this war started, sad. Personally I'm upset that these soldiers were killed period. The Geneva Convention doesn't really matter in a situation like this

Did you read the title of this thread?
The "bash everyone I don't agree with forum" is -------> that way.

So if America captures enemy combatants and tortures them and beheads them immediately, the Geneva Convention would not apply and we wouldn't have to listen to the pacifists whining about the mistreatment of prisoners?

I don't believe I bashed anyone with that post.

It comes down to this, you're either a soldier in the military or you're a criminal. If you're a soldier, then you're a POW, if you're not, then you are to be put on trial and placed in prison. It's very simple, it's not that difficult.

Nope. It was three soldiers. Your not going to catch three Marines by themselves in a war zone that were placed directly there by the command. You'll find a squad of Marines in an area(which is approx. 13), but not three. No less than 4 will man a check point, and they don't play around either.

It wasn't just 3.....there were 3 humvees and I believe 9-12 soldiers. It was a classic divide/ambush move. The mistake was the 2 humvees leaving the one behind to "chase" the attackers. You NEVER leave troops in that small of a number during a firefight. You stay together, form your wall, and call for support.

Why are you even bringing up the Geneva convention?

It has nothing to do with what's going on.
