So, genuineoriginal, from what I've been reading in your posts you would have no problem with an invading army coming to your home after defeating the troops, raping and brutalizing your wife, daughters, sons, and who ever else is in the area and then killing you all because you were there and are thusly a threat to them. You would have no problem with that what so ever? Because thats what your defending.
Actually, I think it is perfectly reasonable to expect this from any invading army. Anyone who thinks otherwise has no clue about what armies do, despite the massive amount of literature about what is done in war. I am only trying to defend the facts about what armies do in war. I think it is just fine for me to defend myself, my home, and anyone near me to the extent of my abilities from an invading army, but I won't fool myself into thinking that they will not rape, pillage, and burn everything in their path.
How is that the actions of a just or moral general? We have a name for those things, war crimes. You sir are an advocate of war crimes, and ethnic cleansing. Which is exactly what the Hebrews were doing. You must have been asleep during the whole Bosnia thing. So, in your view was Po Pot fully justified in what he did? Or Mao? Or Stalin? You are a mad man who advocates the wanton slaughter of men women and children. Let me guess your great great grandfather was with Custer and his crusade to slaughter the Native Americans. Was our government justified in what we did to those people?
Wait let me guess, its only okay if "gods people" are doing it? Well what does that make your god? A mad "god", a creature on a power trip, something greater then man in stature, but lacking base and simple morals. So is it great then us in power or just in its ability to throw off the morals that even the basest of humans have.
I have noticed that you (plural) seem to have a name for a lot of things. You call the normal wartime actions "war crimes" as if there is some human court that has jurisdiction over the acts of nations. You call abortion a woman's "choice" as if it was not murder. You call homosexuality an "alternative lifestyle" as if it was not a violent, disease ridden, perversion.
I am not a mad man who advocates killing, I am a realist who understands that people will kill men, women, and children during war. You gave some powerfull examples of my point, but left out Hitler, Gengis Kahn, Mao Tse Tung, Alexander the Great, and Napolean.
As far as I can trace, my ancesters were in other countries until after the Civil War. We had no part of the American territorial expansion, but I am a Native American because I was born here.
My God is a righteous God. He created the Heavens and the Earth, and all that is in them. If you have any problem with what He does with His creation, talk to Him about it.
