Precious, where exactly did I state that? By all means live your life drawing conclusions based upon your assumptions!

BUT CHEW ON THESE FACTS:

If you want to talk about honor, shall we examine the strings of trophy necklaces G.I.s brought home from Vietnam? The ones strung with the ears and fingers of the VietCong?

And in the same war we also had Lt. William Calley, who was convicted of war crimes after he ordered the brutal slaughter of between 304-547 [and those are official US Army estimates] civilian men, women and children as young as 12, 22 of whom Calley personally killed. BTW: those women were first gang-raped before their bodies were mutilated. And as for Calley? He eventually got off with a court martial and life sentence... followed by a Presidential pardon wher ehe only served THREE YEARS OF HOUSE ARREST. Today Calley is walking around free in Florida.

Or, how about those pics taken at Abu Ghraib in 2004? Where FEMALE soldiers proudly posed mocking tortured captives?

And, in 2011 in Khandahar, we had U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales who after night of binge-drinking Jack Daniels [and watching a Denzel Washington movie glorifying wanton revenge] he strolled out and -using his firearms and a knife- personally killed 16 Afghani civilians: NINE CHILDREN as young as 2 years old, four women and three men. He's currently serving a life sentence in Leavenworth for those war crimes. FYI: Last December and just before he left office President Trump flatly refused to overturn that sentence... but that too was scrubbed from the MSM and the public consciousness.

People like yourself seem to have conveniently forgotten about those atrocities because they shatter the quaint notion that American soldiers don't engage in barbarism.

But the fact is, we are no more morally superior than anyone else on this planet because there are dozens of similar documented instances going all the way back to the Civil War.

But you go right ahead and keep pointing that accusing finger; just remember that when you do so there are three more pointing right back at you.

So, those things from the past make it perfectly acceptable for the Taliban to take these young women and subject them to fates nightmares are made of?

There are no fingers pointing at me, or most of us, as we never committed any atrocities. These abducted women never committed atrocities.

The examples you present were countered with punishment. Will the Taliban be punished???

Oh, and the whole Abu Ghraib thing -- you consider being naked and having women's bloomers over your head torture?? You clearly have no idea what the Taliban met out as torture. The shit they do makes the Viet Cong look like boy scouts in comparison.

I think you are drunk, and need a break.

As a matter of fact, I don't drink nor require it to assuage a guilty conscience. But I AM smart enough to recognize propaganda when I see it and there's plenty flying around the internet and MSM as I write this. Now then, let's do a little critical thinking here...

1. We don't even know if those buses were actually seized by the Taliban. It could just as easily have been ISIS or ISIS-K or any number of other splinter groups operating in that area. And to state emphatically that it was Taliban is as ridiculous as claiming that all Trump supporters are White supremacists or all black people support BLM.

2. Likewise we don't know what's going on with that detained orchestra. And until we do everything else is mere speculation. What we DO know is that they weren't American citizens as this thread accuses... something my own NY POST link verified on page ONE of this thread. Meanwhile Emily Miller's tweet is being accepted as gospel by God-fearing Americans everywhere... and that's my biggest beef with this whole topic.

3. Further, it's perfectly fair to reference our own American historical wartime atrocities, particularly when talking to those who believe we can do no wrong because, after all: we represent the one-and-only-true-God-Mom-Apple pie-and-all-that-is-wholesome-and-moral; the trouble is history proves that we DON't live up to those lofty standards. With every new invasion we just change the rules to make it seem so.

4. As for PUNISHMENT? Calley personally killed 22 civilians and lost a command he never should've been given in the first place, but still only got a slap on the wrist for brutally raping, slaughtering and then mutilating those civilians. Some justice, there! That's like saying OJ was innocent because "if it don't fit, you must aquit."

5. Now then: let's take a good look at Abu Ghraib where the torture went far beyond the nudity and "bloomers" as you deride. Does the term "waterboarding" mean anything to you? Or how about battery cables clamped on the prisoner's genitals? And if that doesn't convince you, then how about good old-fashioned homicide? Because that was the conclusion of the US Army autopsy performed on Manadel al-Jemadi. A murder -BTW- where NOBODY was ever charged with that crime. And to add a little more immorality, his body was further desecrated when those American guards posed it in the background as they leered before the cameras grinning from ear-to-ear.

As for the Abu Ghraib commander Brigadier General Janis Karpinski? She was merely demoted to a Colonel and allowed to continue serving until her retirement... after which she wrote a book claiming to be a scapegoat. She wasn't even accused of mistreating those prisoners, instead among the formal charges was one for shoplifting!

But that was an America-the-not-so-beautiful that quickly faded once the lurid, damning pictures made the rounds. Because -after all- it was OUR boys and girls who did it and they had every right because those were TERRORISTS who deserved everything they got!

And I suspect that's exactly what the Taliban, ISIS and ISI-K are all saying right this very second about us.

FYI: before you point another accusing finger in my direction, I happen to be a grass-roots supporter [from June of 2015] of President Trump who sat 30' away from the man and listened along with only 300 others when he spoke at my state's caucus in the spring of 2016. LONG before the massive crowds that later attended his rallies.

DRUNK? I wish I was!

Once again, you think this makes the abduction of the girls okay.

When I get home, I may give you some time to consider your ill put logic.
