"As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy." -Christopher Dawson
Ah, yes, let's listen to a man who never fought evil about how we're supposed to take higher risks in order to avoid his entitled ass calling us the baddies. Also, quite ironic since his good way to wage war was the way his father fought, sitting in trenches and throwing bodies at machine guns...
I like the lyrics "stand up and show me your face"; it makes a very good point. If a man truly believes God is on his side, even to the point that he will kill the helpless, why would such a man hide his face? There is no account of Ishmael being deceptive in his actions. Au contraire - Ishmael by all accounts, Biblical or otherwise, looked his friends and foes in the eye. If God truly takes your side, I propose that stealth is unnecessary, for honesty and truth are highly valued in heaven. Deceit and lies, on the other hand, are fathered by the Devil.
True. If God really takes your side, he will give you courage and smartness to overcome the enemy. If his goal is really justified by heaven, he shouldn't be afraid to show his face.
***** Well, to be fair civilians pay their taxes, generate production, and have the potential to become soldiers for the state. That makes them no less of a resource than a gold mine, farm, or bomb. So, civilians are just as legitimate a target in war as an oil field if your sole intent is to destroy the resources of your enemy. But that is not the only reason why the public executions are taking place. They are making these things public so the local, and foreign, populations understand that ISIS is in control of those areas. This is done because it is only the lawful government, or those that the lawful government delegates it's authority to, that has the right to take the life of one of it's citizens (criminal executions being an example). It is, I agree, cruel. But it is not ignorant; they know exactly what they are accomplishing when they hold their public executions. If they were ignorant ISIS would never have gotten to where it is now. This kind of violence, in one form or another, has been the bread and butter method for new Arab States to emerge ever since the Turkish empire fragmented. President Bush did the world a grave disfavor when he took the unnecessary step of removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and assassinating his sons. Now there is nothing to be done except wait out the chaos and see who emerges victorious. I doubt it will be ISIS, but eventually a native Arab State will appear that has the necessary military & political strength to restore order using ruthless oppression to suppress all dissenters capable of causing trouble.
***** It is an accepted fact that it is better to wound a soldier than to kill him, yes? Well, how much more so to cause harm to a civilian population? Majority of civilians contribute, in some fashion, to the welfare of the State. Even if just by existing as a consumer or manual laborer. Killing or wounding and, especially, displacing civilians hurts the ability of the opposition to resist your own efforts. Civilians who are injured or become refugees clog roads, overflow hospitals and shelters, and force governments to spend time and resources needed for the war effort trying to aid the refugees or repair devastated civilian infrastructure. Bringing the war to the "civilian" front also accelerates war fatigue - it was this very thing, the desire of the civilians in the North for peace, that almost allowed the South to win the US Civil War in 1864; and it was only when the North took the war to the civilians in the South (when Sherman pillaged and burned his way to the sea) that brought that conflict to a timely conclusion. In Vietnam it was not the VC or NVN that defeated the US - it was the war fatigue of the civilian populace. In addition, most soldiers have two loyalties; one to the State and one to the Family. As long as their families are safe they will endure great hardships on behalf of the State because they will be able to reason with themselves that their sacrifice secures the fates of the ones they love. However, if their Family is not safe, then they become demoralized and will often attempt to desert, surrender, or even mutiny because, with most men, the loyalty to the Family is stronger than the loyalty to the State. By targeting the Family you target the heart of the opposing soldiers, weaken the resolve of the civilian population to wage war, and thereby increase the pressure on the Threat leadership to seek a peace. There is nothing inherently wrong with targeting civilians - because it is the civilians that enable war to take place; without them the military would not exist because the military exists to protect, or impose the will of, the civilians. I believe ISIS is in error - but only because they are creating a situation wherein they cannot survive the post-war peace (assuming they win) because they are sowing the seeds for a counter-revolution. But I digress; to sum it up - war is not possible without civilian support in one form or another; therefore civilians are never "innocent". Indeed, civilians are the primary perpetrators of war in our modern age because the countries most often involved in war are run by civilian leadership, elected or appointed, from amidst the civilian population.
I am just going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you are American. But Islam has changed, numerous times. After Muhammad’s death, there was a schism between who his heir as leader of the faith would be, leading to the formation of Shia and Sunni Islam. Briefly during the Middle Ages, Islam was unified especially during the crusade. During this time, knowledge was held to be the sight of god, taking inspiration from Socratic philosophy and Jewish thought. This golden age was an age were medical advances, scientific achievements and any idea that furthered humanity was not scene as heretical but as part of Allah’s will. This golden age that held out during the crusades, helped inspire the European reinassance, with people like Copernicus, Galeo and Da Vinci, taking inspiration from Islamic science and art. It was only during the rise and fall the Ottoman Empire that this idea of extremism took over. Many of these terroists groups started out as politically driven and gained a religious meaning over time. The Taliban for example, started as a anti soviet movment, before it the leaders began to use Religous idolatry as a rallying cry. This evil you speak off however has always existed. Just not nessicarly in Islam always, but in man. We humans as a species are an evil force. Hell is not below us, it’s in our cities, in our souls and in our lives.
Don't scroll down, the comment section is full of fellow Americans saying we should nuke some place and Europeans who think America is evil and starting wars everywhere. Come on guys, don't you think it's time to get out of the basement and actually try to fix these problems with society you're crying about?
To be honest there are a couple places in the world nuking which could solve half of the European and American people's problems instantly: Refugee crysis, terrorism, oil problems and many other things... Just gone in a blink of an eye.
To be fair, we didn't really know the long-term effects, and it's not as if watching their citizens starve is a good way to avoid casualties. In war, people die, it might not have been the right choice, but we made the decision we thought would prevent the most bloodshed. I think we made the right one, but I don't know how the alternatives would have played out.
Hurt Locker is US military slang from the Viet Nam campaign. Being put in it generally refers to being hit by something bad, such as explosives. "Johnny got hit by an IED last night, he got put in the hurt locker." It is also the title of a poem by Brian Turner, a war veteran, professor and writer, which ends: "Open the hurt locker and see what there is of knives and teeth. Open the hurt locker and learn how rough men come hunting for souls."
This awseome video makes me think of my brother Jesse who served our country in th Marine Corps, and my buddy Nate, who is curently a US Army Combat engineer.
those who hide from their enemies are affraid. those who fight truely for god will not hide. man who hide from there daeth are hiding from there god. a god who inspires to coware before his judgement is not real
The fact that the opponent is evil doesn't justify you being evil. If they rape innocent civilians you don't act against their innocent civilians, you act against the ones that did the crimes against your people.
And if THEIR civilians SUPPORT the rape of your civilians (as the VAST MAJORITY of them IN FACT DO)?! Does that not make them JUST AS GUILTY of raping your civilians as the ones who actually did the raping?!
Soldiers are the ones that risk their lives in war, it shouldn´t be that innocent 10year old girl or boy. Nor should it be the 78year old grandfather. Its the soldier, that goes in FOR hes kid, hes grandparents.
"dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and distruction" no one other than me feeling that this one phrase could fit us, and our armies, in a different way than the terrorists but as well as them?
LIAR -- we, and our armies, are SAVING civilization from pain and destruction! And just so you know, to even COMPARE our actions against terrorists to those of the terrorists is BY LAW IN ITSELF AN ACT OF TERRORISM and is THE SAME AS PERSONALLY FLYING THE JETS INTO THE TWIN TOWERS, and SHALL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY -- and THAT MEANS YOU!
Hell, have you heard of Japanese holdouts? They were soldiers who refused to accept the peace between Japan and the U.S. and continued fighting as late as 1949. As it was, most of the Japanese didn't WANT peace, and they only stopped because the emperor ordered it.
if you consider the health issues that followed the bombs, i do believe the toll was already above and beyond what an invasion could have done. Soldiers can discriminate. They can question the orders of killing children. Bombs do not.
It's also culture and human nature. People here talk in a way that banning religion would bring peace to these countries. They will find differen't reasons to hate each other, and kill and destroy.
No war in history har been started over religion. Many wars are blamed on religion though, but that is another matter. Greed is the main reason for war.
So what you´re saying, is that civilian casualties do not matter at all as long as victory is achieved ? Have you met this pall Stalin, he had the same ideology.
Wrong. US is now the second highest Oil Producer in the world. Next year it will be the first. We are producing roughly 10 million gallons of oil a day.
BP is a British company, yes, but I was referring to their oil well spill in Louisiana. My statement was simply pointing out there are American (Anglo-use of the word American) oil reserves, because BP spilled oil from the US, in the US, and if there wasn't any such thing as American oil, then what was spilled?
Operation Downfall would have ended in 4 million American casualties and 10 million Japanese fatalities. But the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended in 246,000 Casualties.
@AnarchyInTheUK1947 im so glad that the english and american know what american is doing and are realistic respect from me and good to know there are people that think that and not just trol around :D
In which case we would have joined the emperor. I didn't say we necessarily should have, I was saying its use was exactly the way the gas was used in WW1. Also, no matter what happened, afaik there's a good chance there would have been a conventional invasion of Japan. As horrible as it sounds, several hundred thousand dead civilians is better than several million.
"you guys" Im British.... Also, "scraps of the British Army" there was 250000 men there in the 14th army alone in 13 divisions iirc. Not really "over" there was still 2 major problems, 1. Japan had yet to surrender and a mainland invasion would have cost more then the atomic bombs killed in allied losses alone, yet alone the japanese. 2. The russians had a bad problem of "take land ours now" in Europe, had to stem it from happening in asia too, meaning fast end required.
What I THINK he's saying is that if we have to choose between the lives of our soldiers and the lives of civilians in an occupation zone that we should put the lives of our soldiers first. I'm inclined to agree with that sentiment, especially considering that in war, civilian casualties cannot be avoided.
The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, most of the articles you can google for are early September reports. The one I'm referring to are early October ones that go on to say the US has passed Russia and Saudi Arabia in crude oil production. While some reports say it will be late this year others claim early next year. However, there are reports the US has already bypassed them this month. Such as the two I said before. But ultimately it's hard to say right now because of all the reports.
@Sakkehatu There's something about war you need to understand. In war, there are no heroes or villains, and there are only three types of people involved: combatants, noncombatants and the dead. Wars are won by he who is willing to do more to damage the enemy war effort. Point and case: World War II's Strategic Bombing campaign against Germany.
God bless america , end brave american soldiers dlaczego u gory, w najlepszych komentarzach nie ma żadnego naszego komentarza ? ... jestem widze żyje i nie rozumiem ...
The A bombs were unnecessary violence. I have read much on the subject of the world wars (tis interesting to me) and all signs point to the fact that japan was soon to surrender. Only some generals wanted to continue the war. The emperor was completely against it and was on the verge of going to war against his own generals for the sake of surrender.
+SGT SpiffyWiffy It's due to the fact that the Europeans kept a tight leash around them. A single leader under their control, or military presence WITH total control. The US ousted dictators that kept the peace. When they tried to introduce democracy so many little tribes and what else rose up to take control that the middle-east and africa is still in turmoil. Nobody knows who controls what anymore. Sure, those dictators killed their own people, but what's better? 10k deaths because a dictator said so or a million dead because of a pointless war?
+SGT SpiffyWiffy This is completely true except for a lack of certain freedoms. Although most would agree that while everyone was strung up by the European puppet masters there was less wars I doubt anyone would agree that they were better off under Imperialism, their countries literally owned by other nations.
+PHATERTL The arabs are already imperialist oppressors. They just also moved in and forcibly supplanted the pre-existing Byzantine Hellenist Christian cultures. Which were ruled from Constantinople in Greece, which is part of Europe. But even French and British rule was freer than Muslim rule for anyone who doesn't happen to be both Muslim and male. Too bad no arab nation can seem to manage secularism without an outside power imposing it. The Turks pulled it off for decades, but they also managed to avoid "European puppet masters" (sic). Maybe there's a connection? Perhaps if the Arabs had been civilized nations instead of tribalist religious fanatics they could have done what Kemal did.
the japanese would not have surrendered even if italy and german did.it was believed that bombing the cities would have caused less deaths than if they had to defeat the entire japanese army.
You can if its their family and you can do it with no possibility of retaliation. 150,000-240000 civilians were killed in the bombs Millions would be dead in a land invasion and the war continued for months more, i mean look at the massive casualty rates of the island hopping marines, that wasnt even the main island. "the few the for many".
No, Stalin knew of the A-Bomb and stated to Truman that he hopes that he'll use it soon against their enemies, i.e. Japan. The cold war was caused through power struggle between the East and West. Nuclear weapons were an element and most likely kept the two sides from going to war but didn't cause it. There was plenty of biological, chemical and other weapons being stocked piled other than Nuclear arms. All of which would have caused more deaths then in the two A-Bombings.

Wars are won by he who is willing to do more to damage the enemy war effort. Point and case: World War II's Strategic Bombing campaign against Germany.
fantastyczny film ^^ (dobrze że on wygrał oskara, a nie ten efekciarski awatar xp) piosenka genialna :)
The hurt locker from 2008
God bless america , end brave american soldiers

... jestem widze żyje i nie rozumiem ...
The A bombs were unnecessary violence. I have read much on the subject of the world wars (tis interesting to me) and all signs point to the fact that japan was soon to surrender. Only some generals wanted to continue the war. The emperor was completely against it and was on the verge of going to war against his own generals for the sake of surrender.
African and middle easten countrys was better off under Europen control thats not a joke its a fact
+SGT SpiffyWiffy It's due to the fact that the Europeans kept a tight leash around them. A single leader under their control, or military presence WITH total control. The US ousted dictators that kept the peace. When they tried to introduce democracy so many little tribes and what else rose up to take control that the middle-east and africa is still in turmoil. Nobody knows who controls what anymore. Sure, those dictators killed their own people, but what's better? 10k deaths because a dictator said so or a million dead because of a pointless war?
+SGT SpiffyWiffy This is completely true except for a lack of certain freedoms. Although most would agree that while everyone was strung up by the European puppet masters there was less wars I doubt anyone would agree that they were better off under Imperialism, their countries literally owned by other nations.
+PHATERTL The arabs are already imperialist oppressors. They just also moved in and forcibly supplanted the pre-existing Byzantine Hellenist Christian cultures. Which were ruled from Constantinople in Greece, which is part of Europe.
But even French and British rule was freer than Muslim rule for anyone who doesn't happen to be both Muslim and male. Too bad no arab nation can seem to manage secularism without an outside power imposing it. The Turks pulled it off for decades, but they also managed to avoid "European puppet masters" (sic). Maybe there's a connection? Perhaps if the Arabs had been civilized nations instead of tribalist religious fanatics they could have done what Kemal did.
***** to be honest in many ways it would
+SGT SpiffyWiffy Their current condition is a result of the European control.
the japanese would not have surrendered even if italy and german did.it was believed that bombing the cities would have caused less deaths than if they had to defeat the entire japanese army.
Who the fuck needs history in school, just go to a Sabaton video on youtube, and check the comment section XD
what is the film name ?
Thanks
fair enough. hindsight 20/20 as they say.
name film pls ?
I agree that religious war is wrong, but you don't have to be disrespectful to religion. People have a right to believe whatever they choose to.
Name of this film ?
the Hurt locker
You can if its their family and you can do it with no possibility of retaliation.
150,000-240000 civilians were killed in the bombs
Millions would be dead in a land invasion and the war continued for months more, i mean look at the massive casualty rates of the island hopping marines, that wasnt even the main island.
"the few the for many".
No, Stalin knew of the A-Bomb and stated to Truman that he hopes that he'll use it soon against their enemies, i.e. Japan. The cold war was caused through power struggle between the East and West. Nuclear weapons were an element and most likely kept the two sides from going to war but didn't cause it. There was plenty of biological, chemical and other weapons being stocked piled other than Nuclear arms. All of which would have caused more deaths then in the two A-Bombings.
the gas in ww1 was more of a fear tactic than a useful weapon.
Is this from the movie Sniper?
No, as suggested by the title the video was from the movie "The Hurt Locker"
Makes sense
buena lo maximo

Don't know about that, but my guess is that the US didn't know that.

+Kanał tymczasowo nieczynny The hurtlocker its about an EOD team clearing bombs in i remember correctly kinda good they messed up on a few specs on the soldier but somewhat good

Stalin was far away from a "great man".
