Lazarus 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'd like to ask Leazes a question Lets say that you are the LT in charge of a squad of men and one evening you meet this person in the street. Do you: 1) shoot at her straight away 2) hesitate for a few seconds etc..... This is more relevant to the incident that is alleged to have happened - hope this helps you understand what relevance is. 144670[/snapback] heres the situation: regular sniper fire and explosions dead bodies are regularly booby-trapped Ambulances are used to smuggle weapons A white flag can be a trick insurgents dress as women anyone with a mobile phone could be about to detonate on roadside bomb driving a hummer is not a show of force , its making yourself a target there is no front line battles are fought house to house many soldiers are on their second or third tour the rules of engagement often change from being extremely strict to being extremely loose drug abuse is a problem among soldiers i could go on. in that evironment - we expect our soldiers to uphold our western values under the most incredible pressure. occasionally, they dont.

Could you ? 144731[/snapback] Lazarus, I was referring to the specific story posted by Alex at the start of this thread - the accusation that Marines went on a rampage and deliberately massacred civilians. I've always been referring to that allegation, and I don't see how anyone in the right mind can justify or condone that. I really don't see how the above is relevant in that context.

Renton 21643 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Now I've answered you. Do you have the bottle to answer Lazarus question rather than side step it ? 144719[/snapback] Once again you prove you don't read comments made by others - I have already answered Lazarus on a previous post stating that of course I'd shoot someone who was pointing a gun at me or my troops, regardless of age. Once again you are too thick to see this irrelevent to the situation described in this thread though. As for the rest, give ut a rest man, your response was virtually identical to what I predicted.

Renton 21643 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Do you reckon Leazes is one of those bots, that's programmed to post certain things everytime someone posts a thread about Iraq or terrorists? I 144683[/snapback] Quick Craig, its looks like weve been sussed, its time to implement Renton v1.32 and Leazes 2.1 (agreement module). 144723[/snapback] Actually Renton: Leazes Mag: P.S. This is a joke Leazes before you get your knickers in a twist about me thinking I'm dead clever, which I honestly don't. Compared to you though this relative comparison might be about right.

Renton 21643 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) i'm not having a dig or trying to justify atrocities - dont get me wrong. i, personally, am amazed that these things dont happen much more often. 144740[/snapback] I suspect we don't hear about them all. And just to make it clear for the benefit of people who don't listen (not meaning you), I do appreciate the troops in Iraq are doing a horrendous job and are under intense pressure. It is only the actions of a very small few that I condemn. Oh, and i might add I in no way supprt, condone, or justify the acts of terrorists either, and neither do I think islamic extremists can be reasoned with, just in case any stupid people haven't realised that yet.

Lazarus 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 its extremely difficult to fight a guerrilla war. one article i read described it as two opponents playing each other - one is playing chess and the other is playing poker. when you checkmate, he's holding a full house and you cant win. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_insurgency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) unfortunately its a catch 22 situation. The vast majority of squaddies in this country are people who have very little social skills and struggle to gain meaningful employment. We give them a gun, train them to shoot people and then send them off to foreign lands to be ambassadors for our country. Its inevitable some of them will go off the rails and do something stupid. On the flip side, most suitably intelligent people like ourselves who could make good judgments when needed, recognise that fighting in a foreign country, living in squalor, having people shooting at you and all for minimum wage is pretty much a no brainer of a choice. I also apologise to anyone in here who is in the army or has relatives in the army. i do realise that not everyone is like that but if you go and meet some of the lads from catterick you will realise a large proportion are Edited June 4, 2006 by J69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 OK, I'll answer Laz's question on condition you clarify your views LM. I would do what my training told me to do and I assume that would be to hesitate and suss whether the weapon was real after all many 12y/o boys carry toy guns and wave them round. As for the original thread I understand how the horrors of war can turn normally law abiding soldiers past the point but thats not the point at the end of the day you cant execute innocent bystanders (including 2 year old children) and get away with it.

No balls, no debate, no anything, clueless. 144762[/snapback] Leazes, I used to think you were just a bit thick, now I realise you are a complete moron. Read my post numbered 189 on this thread. Now read the bit in bold on this very post! You really are a an absolute cretin, and every single person here knows it. The only person that doesn't know you are thick is you, because ironically you are too thick to see it. I "fell out" with HTL on several occasions, for various reasons. As you no doubt know, the straw that broke the Camel's back with him is when he likened me to paedophile, for no good reason. Most people, even on the internet, would think that is an insult too far. So in summary, will you just fuck off and at least learn how to read before you spout your shit? No? Then just fuck off full stop then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
