so many there are unarmed males down to the age of 1 who had no where to go and who didn't want to fight. So we capture them all and claim that our brave soldiers were able to overcome thousands of "insurgents?" How much more sinister can we get?

1. "How much more sinister can we get?"
If I told you now, it would ruin the surprise...

2. Unfortunately,
I don't think 'capture' is the operative word. I'm sure there will be more dead than alive by the end of this. It's horrifying.

3. This is right out of the old testament: Killing all males to conquer
a people.

5. I am heartsick about this
Imagine you're a mother with two teenage boys. Are you going to escape the city and leave your kids behind? What a terrible choice these women are now faced with. No wonder so many civilians have not left the city -- they refuse to leave behind their loved ones.

This is barbarous. We are essentially lining up all the men and boys to be executed.

8. "to the age of 1"
what I heard was over 15 and under 45... women and children were encouraged to RUN FOR THEIR LIVES while their homes and businesses were leveled by foreign invaders....

Heil to the Chimp!
