Bin Laden assinator commits suicide

[FoxBodyNick]

I do have an issue with it. It bothers me when members of our military who are doing the job that they are ordered to do end up labeled by people like him. Especially men in the special operations community, these people are of the highest caliber. And here you have a little bitch who never stood up for anything in his life trashing their legacy. All from the safety of his living room.

Don't let it bother you... because I personally know it doesn't bother them

Negative. The edit was to fix the spelling for Jodi. Why would I say "3-way with Kim" and not reference the third person?

You're grasping for anything to look funny.

Your second edit covered spelling highspeed.

why is assassin a bad word again?

Same thing I was thinking.. I think the conspiracy stuff is dumb, but if anyone thinks that the SEAL team went in with any instructions other than "kill him" is naive. Assassin seems appropriate to me.

I don't think naynay is the troller in this thread, I think he's the trollee.

I am also confused as to why he would be banned?

i meant assassinator, it sounded more intelligible than "the guy who killed bin laden."

im just passing along the story, why shoot the messenger?

Because it shows what an ignorant dumbass you are.

Assassination = murder. Here's an example even you can understand: MLK, JFK and REK were assassinated.

Killing an enemy combatant is NOT an assassination.

Killing a rabid dog like bin laden was a service to mankind and he was an enemy combatant. It may not mean much to you, but to the rest of us its a damned important difference.

in the eyes of the side who ordered the killing, however to Bin Laden's followers, it was murder.

Being an assassin isn't a bad thing, why is there so much heat over that label?

DallasSleeper seems to be the typical military guy, described in that thread a week or two ago.

I am also confused as to why he would be banned?

Because "ZOMGz he doesn't agree with me!"

Elite special operators flying into an area that is not a "combat zone", covertly and under the cover of darkness, specifically targeting and killing the enemy's leader, is an assassination.

Assassinations do not imply the target is good or bad, bad guys can be assassinated to.

Just because the act and actor is referred to as assassination and assassin, does not mean it is a bad thing. It has taken on a negative connotation because the world has become too PC and pussified.

I was trying to think of how to describe it but you pretty much nailed it.

You cut my statement short, which makes me think you don't understand how this is not a positive thing...

This doesn't look like it's going to make 20 pages.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't an assassination according to law of war but ill have to check my facts when I get to a computer

Of course it wasn't, at least in the way it was described and sold to the world by the US, otherwise we would be "guilty".

That's kind of my point.. Our government is going to justify it by describing it 100 different ways, all side-stepping what it really was.

But on this board we are not the country's political leadership, trying to sell a bag of shit to the international community, in order to cover our ass.

So what's wrong with calling a spade a spade?

And no, that was not a dig against naynay!
