Don't You Know That It's Different For Unlawful Combantants?Worth reading, even if you already get it. What is the obvious difference between an enemy Prisoner of War, and an Unlawful Combatant? Suppose two of them were standing in a line-up. What one glaringly obvious thing sets them apart? You know, I've said a thousand time to lefties: When you see a WWII movie, and a Nazi announces to our covert ops that they will be hanged as spies because they're out of uniform, did you think the screenwriters were just making that shit up? No, they weren't. A soldier wears a uniform to announce to the enemy that he is a combatant (and, of course, that those out of uniforms are not). A combatant out of uniform is, legally, a "spy" or "saboteur," and hence a common criminal, to be dealt with by criminal justice (including hanging or the firing squad), and not to be afforded the protections and privileges of soldiers actually in uniform. Now, of course, it will be pointed out by the ninnies that our covert soldiers and actual spies don't wear uniforms all the time either. True enough-- and that's part of what makes them such gutsy motherfuckers, because they know they could be tortured or killed if captured out of uniform, but they're courageous and dedicated enough to run that risk to accomplish an objective that couldn't be accomplished in uniform. The US has largely abandoned the practice of killing "spies" and "saboteurs." But we still have that right, were we not such pussified sissified twats to exercise it. But we sure as shit have the right to jail these people, and no, we don't have to afford them the full panoply of protections offered to POW's under the Geneva Conventions. Why do leftists continue to insist that these unlawful combatants be treated precisely as legal soldiers, despite the fact that they are breaking the rules deliberately in a way as to disadvantage our soldiers and greatly increase the chances of civilian deaths? Do they not comprehend -- or, perhaps, do they refuse to admit -- that legal soldiers should be given POW rights as an inducement to obey the Rules of War, and that illegal combatants should be denied such rights, also as an inducement to obey the Rules of War? Whittle then examines the mindset of such "progressives:" Why then, do so many people – most of them on the far left – so fundamentally hate humanity? A long excerpt, and I hope he doesn't mind. Worth reading in full. Thanks to TomM. Update: Why We Need Gitmo: Unclassified report on Gitmo-- who's there and why. I guess maybe it's just a popular timepiece. H/T to NickS.
