To me, this was a non-incident within the panorama of war.
It was urine on a corpse . . . not napalm on children.
War should have no rules.
Rules give warfare the appearance that somehow it is civilized and fair.
Maybe if we allow it to be so horrific, individuals will be just a tad more hesitant to willfully engage in combat.
Fuck the rules: Kill every single mother fucking enemy combatant and their family.
Win . . . then go home.
The allies won WW2 following “the rules” most of the time against an enemy who didn't follow “the rules” most of the time.
I don't see why the war in Irag or Afghanistan should be any different.
Win? Yes, but at any cost? No.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
