I CARE about the United States men and women who are fighting for this country (leave the illegal war out of it, it isn't part of the equation). I'll do whatever is necessary, including torture, to keep OUR men/women safe.

THEY are the enemy and should be treated as such. A 12 yr old can pull the trigger of an AK, just as fast as I can.
Thank you for those demented sentiments. It's helpful for future reference.

If they picked up a gun and fired it....................and lets be real. By being detained, they get three hots and a cot. Not bad living when they are scratching for their next meal.

Exactly! We learned years ago that a 12 year old can kill you just as dead as a 21 year old. Lock their a$$es up.

Not only be detained, he is advocating for them to be some sort of "freedom fighters" and should be given awards and accolades. Our military? Who cares. Damn to be them.

He is typical left wing, limp wristed liberal who is trying to "save the world." I'm all for saving the world: US personnel first.

I'm advocating that the US not be an invasive, occupying force. American teenagers, if they weren't too busy consuming double cheeseburgers, would respond similarly if some other nation occupied the US.

And you would have no problem with such acts of "terrorism."

Intellectual honesty. It's the most difficult thing in this life to master.

Yeah, because nothing is tougher than killing children. Who in the heck are you kidding, you internet Rambo? I've met guys like you in person. Talk about the antithesis of "toughness."

Where are the rest of you on the left speaking out against this garbage?

Afghanistan Teenagers Detained By U.S. Military
When you make speeches on a state senate floor supporting partial birth abortion you are probably some sort of a left winger. When you say that sharing the wealth is good for everyon you are probably some sort of a left winger. When you appoint union sympathizers to the labor relations board you are probably some sort of a left winger. When you appoint a supreme court justice who is on record as admitting her race will influence her judicial decisions you are probably some sort of a left winger. When you remove work requirements from welfare you are probably some sort of a left winger. When your justice department sues a state for trying to limit illegal immigration you are probably some sort of a left winger. When your administration gives tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to companies despite being told they will fail simply because they produce green technology you are probably some sort of a left winger. When you assume a black man being arrested outside his own home is probably misconduct on the part of the police before you have any information you are probably some sort of a left winger.

Speaking as a conservative, I say don't try to put Obama in our camp. We don't support his actions or his policies.

Just one more reason for us to get out of Afghanistan ASAP. There is nothing and no one there worth the life of an American serviceman or woman. Let them go back to slaughtering each other and going all lalalalala to their mythical skydaddy.

What are you babbling about? I never mentioned a word about terrorism. Nor did you, until this post.

Good luck on your quest for intellectual honesty, but it looks like you still have a very long way to go.
