You are very badly mistaken.

My concern is not at all for the prisoners.



After all they have in your eyes ( and most liberal eyes) become
barbaic, capable of torturing the fine fellows scooped up without cause
from other countries.

Well, some of them have done just that... and the chain of command has
not taken up the slack.


How could you pin on your cheast a medal or ribbon that is a farce and
cover-up for these barbarians?


Because my medals are no such thing.

Why do you want your leaders to act like ignorant & vicious savages? Why
do you glorify the criminal actions, which are the same things done by
the evil tyrant(s) we have fought (several times in history) to displace?

My concern is that some of our proud & profession military will become
no better than politically motivated thugs, stormtroopers with no honor
and no duty towards their country & their fellow citizens, only
obedience towards a cruel & capricious despot. My concern is that if the
United States acts in a barbaric & evil manner, that we will be
barbaric & evil people. Of course, some already are, but so far they are
aberrations rather the norm. You can chose your path, I guess that's
what freedom is for. But you can never make a virtue out of your
glorification of evil.
