KevinB said:Or the dumbass that ran into me in his brand new Infinty SUV (he had 50cent that waste of skin rap crap playing on his stereo)
I think his scrapped my bumper paint while it stove in his side ;D
the road and the principles of driving an automobile are about 100years ahead of their thought processes in my experience...
My somewhat compassionate side says:
It is unfortunate when you have to open fire on a suspect vehicle that turns out in hindsight to just have been an idiot.
My cynical side says:
"DARWINISM"...
2023 said:Funny you should ask, I asked the same thing of an MP during my ILQ course. One of the scenarios was that a patrol came upon a local raping a woman, one of the Patrol members shot and killed the rapist. Us army guys said that yes, there would be an investigation however we would not take his weapon away nor would we finish the patrol early. The MP and the airforce guys were aghast! How could you let this guy keep his weapon, he has just killed someone!!!!
Different scenario but I think it paints a picture. There are people in the Military who don't realize that we are at war and think that dowtown Kandahar is the same as CFB Trenton.
Chimo!
CFL said:I disagree. We are at war. A war on terror as gay and overused as it is. Its not as if they "did" a village. You also failed to address those firing the M777's had they killed someone in a fire mission. Will they pull someone off the mountain who killed some in a fire fight? Did they take the wpn's away from those that killed the Afghani that tried to kill Capt Greene? If you say this guy wasn't armed your wrong. First he is armed with a vehicle that can cause damage on its own and it is ideal for delivering VIED. We all agree that he will most likely be cleared, a lot of us don't believe he should need to be cleared.
Infantry_ said:The guy ran through a road block, ignored signals and waring shots from the Canadians and got to one meter of the patrol, It was the right thing to do. Are we supposed to sit back and wait to see if he does something IE blows up his car, or take action and prevent more deaths?
