wasn't talking about Gezz.. keep up whydoncha?
Obviously, you're the one who hasn't been keeping up.
You attacked DvDud for not being there ("who was not there") yet offering an opinion ("moralize about what they should or should not have done"). That applies to Gezz as well. (I can't personally attest to his armchair being more or less comfortable than DvDud's.)
Why don't you admit that you attacked DvDud because you disagree with his opinion, instead of pretending that your objection is to his not having been there?
I attacked him because he lied to support his personal attack. Questions?
NO, I did NOT lie.
Post #6 from WillowTree:
I read it bones,, it pissed me off so bad.. ever wonder how that mofo named Murtha sleeps at night?
She clearly intimated that what happened to Lutrell and his SEAL team was somehow tied up with Murtha.
I called her on it, and THEN she starts implying possible memory malfunction
but the implied possibility of memory loss was implied toward Lutrell having the final say only, NOT about Murtha.
She went on to say:
The way I remember it Marcus Luttrell was the final say on whether or not to kill the shepards.
He made the decision to let them live because of fear that Murtha would have them prosecuted for murder. Then of course just like he figured they would the shepards ran and told the Taliban of their presence.
How many seals died because they were afraid to be prosecuted for murder? I forget was it ten.? sucks to be Murtha.
Now, this was in response to my already telling her she was incorrect about Murtha
at that point, instead of sticking her foot deeper into her mouth, WillowTree COULD have refreshed her memory and looked it up, instead of attempting to defend her lie, and continuing to lie.
But she chose to continue to misrepresent the incident to smear Murtha, and so I called her on it.
Then in subsequent posts she chose to get blatantly insulting toward me about the whole thing, name-calling and all that shit, so I put her in her place. Simple.
Note: not ONCE did I call her names...I remained a gentleman, despite being called "jackass, moron"...etc.
But really-faulty memory, technicality, my ass.
No wounds to lick here, Gunny.
Now, I'll ask you the same thing I asked Gary...since, same as Gary, YOU essentially opened that door
What is it YOU would suggest, Gunny? That we tell our service personnel it's fine and dandy to kill innocent civilians whenever they see fit? That we just look the other way if and when they do? That we just give them a blank check and then allow atrocities to go unchallenged & unpunished if/when they occur?
Is it your position that we should have NO "Rules of Engagement"? Kill em all, let God
"etc
?
As I pointed out previously, one of the goat herders was 14.
FOURTEEN
just a kid.
If the SEALs had decided to kill the two adults, they would have had to kill the fourteen year-old as well...so, are you saying that you would condone that type of conduct? Should we allow our troops to behave in a manner that we would absolutely condemn if others did it?
Is it OK if AMERICANS do it? Kill kids? Kill civilians?
