    Bottom line here is this makes things more dangerous for all of our soldiers.

    And I really, really hate the "Well, this may be wrong but the other guys are worse" excuse.

    There's right and there's wrong. Other people being worse doesn't make you right. It makes everyone bad.

    Excellent points, in theory. But why are we the only ones who have to play by certain rules? Not only that, but our enemies exploit that.

    What tactical advantage do we surrender by not urinating on enemy corpses and posting the video on YouTube?

    You want America to be the good guy? That's the price.

    Also, I believe 191 other nations also play by those certain rules.

    Which stretches the definition of "only ones" to the breaking point.

    We make the rules. Least we could do is play by them. Or not post on Facebook when we don't.

    Honestly, we stopped playing by the rules when we marched into Iraq for all those weapons of mass destruction everyone was believed to have.

    How come no one was insulted when The Navy fed Osama to the fishes.
