This is wrong Isaac Send a noteboard - 20/11/2009 07:41:35 PM
Some of our first engagements were with pirates, who were not in the habit of wearing uniforms and belonged to no formal army.

We're not fools, and have never required our enemy to be uniformed, we have signed treaties that stipulate provisions for uniformed soldiers, the spirit and letter of the law both agree that deliberaely un-uniformed soldiers have limited rights.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I only use the word army cause I can't think of a better one beckstcw - 21/11/2009 04:32:01 AM 400 Views

Nevertheless, uniforms or a nation is not a requirement Isaac - 23/11/2009 03:09:22 PM 433 Views
Rightly or wrongly, I disagree. Joel - 24/11/2009 08:48:25 AM 481 Views

And your little hyperbolic rant would make more sense if it were grounded in reality. Tom - 22/11/2009 11:47:17 PM 396 Views
Looks like we'll get a Not Guilty plea, and a defense focusing on condeming US foreign policy beckstcw - 23/11/2009 12:36:47 AM 620 Views
They'll publicly accuse us of tyranny and brutality in front of a jury and without our censorship. Joel - 23/11/2009 08:27:13 AM 523 Views

Good analysis of the situation. Joel - 23/11/2009 08:17:01 AM 532 Views

No. It's about not using a horribly ineffective strategy just to send a message to terrorists. Joel - 24/11/2009 09:29:06 AM 409 Views
