Reply #37: Huh I have forgotten [View All]

Exactly how many troops captured by insurgents have been tortured and then let go?? I forgot how many of my brothers and sisters have been detained by the insurgents eventually went back to their families? Oh yeah zero.......

:eyes:

Great we commit horrible injustice at Abu Ghraib, so every American captured gets far worse treatment.........:eyes:

Again I hate to point out the obvious, but if you want to know why a lot of the military that I serve with are anti-Democrat, threads where people don't condemn insurgents for killing their prisoners are a good place to start.

We detain people, sometimes they are innocent people........most times not so innocent. When Abu Ghraib became a news story, some people were held accountable, not anyone in leadership but someone paid for that injustice. That now makes 9 American soldiers that have been captured since 2004, 5 of which were found mutilated, 1 missing for 3 years and now these 3. If these 3 are found mutilated, how many people on DU will condemn the insurgents? The US is condemned for Abu Ghraib all the time (rightsully so) I expect to see the insurgent condemnation threads.........I'll do it myself if no one else does........

I love this place and don't plan on leaving anytime soon, but it is incredibly frustrating seeing some of the comments by a few posters here about me and my fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. I won't call anyone out but some of you should be ashamed for your opinion of the US military.
