Actually...it does...
No it doesn't. What does the justification for a particular war have to do with the means of fighting said war?

I don't think it does have any bearing on it. Torture should not be used by anyone at any time. If others debase themselves in order to use it we should not do likewise. If we lower ourselves to their level then we are no different than they.
theres that Braggadicio againVery high ideals for someone who has never actually been shot at. It is fine to sit back in your righteousness, 10,000 miles from the shooting and talk about how we "should" go into war. It is an entirely different thing to actually go into war.
Do you realize that the british lost in the revolutionary war because they wouldn't "lower" themselves to fight on the level we fought on? They insisted in fighting in blocks of soldiers in the open fields like war was some sort of chess game and would not think to lower themselves to shooting from behind a tree. Their highmindedness got them killed in the tens of thousands and eventually lost them the war.
You fight your enemy to win. If you don't, he will defeat you.
hey everyone Palerider needs some acknowledgment of his prowess as a past soldier he longs for your acceptance ..
Nothing of importance to say I see. Certainly nothing to add to the conversatiuon. Just shooting from the sidelines as usual. I suggest that you go vote for yourself a couple of more times as the best poster here and then come back and tell me that I long for acceptance.
What a hypocrite.

And i put my 2 cents in on the second page? so i already said, what i had to say here? I already added to this thread many posts ago?Nothing of importance to say I see, and certainly nothing to add to the conversatiuon. Just impotently shooting from the sidelines as usual, as if someone asctually spoke to you. I suggest that you go vote for yourself a couple of more times as the best poster here and then come back and tell me that I long for acceptance. You should also work out your idiot spelling mistakes as well so it isn't quite so blatantly obvious that you and roker are one in the same.
What a hypocrite.

quite fond of it i see .Frankly I could care less if you have ever been shot at. And your arrogant self seems to forget the fact that many of the folks here online have also travelled thousands of miles from home in order to serve theyre country
Im sure your not the only swingin D*ck who has been shot at in theatre as a matter of fact i know your not....funny i dont see the others spew on about as you do though...yes when it was raised as whether or not your genuine i can see why now
hey everyone Palerider needs some acknowledgment of his prowess as a past soldier he longs for your acceptance .this is why he continues to toot his horn...........you all have at least one member i am POSITIVE has given FAR MORE of himself than pale ever imagined................. and he NEVER EVEN MENTIONS IT.................pale has mentioned it many times...those who know dont disuss it as candidly as our friend pale here does.
you are advocating a philosophy of the ends justify the means, but is there ANYTHING that you wouldn't do to win? Take it to the furthest extreme you can conceive, is ANYTHING beyond what you would be willing to do? If so, why?
i dont need acceptance big guy I am an Assh^ole of the highest magnitude its my JOB I cant vote for myself any more than once, and i have already done that so ??? your a bit fixated.......l..go on tell us what its like to be shot at will ya huh huh will ya? im sure theyre all waiting to hear it
What a sad and ugly way to live.If you have an enemy, and you decide that you can no longer tolerate that enemy's existence and go to war with him, you had better be prepared to win. The "ends justify the means" has nothing to do with war.
Contrary to liberal ideas of getting along with our enemies in order to fashion some sort of peace are naive' as a best case senario and more likely suicidal. Peace comes after you have crushed the life out of your enemy.
