These people are cowards with a flimsy excuse to murder. Why can't we come up with a program like their lame one to counter their bs. This is disgusting and I am tired of seeing our soldiers killed by these loser cowards. Everyone is a tough guy in a group. Why can't we do anything to counter this? I would certainly love to help!

let's hope for his safe return.
And let's see how far Obama is willing to go to save an American's life.

Go join the military if you're unhappy.
You will join the military because you're so outraged, won't you?
Read the Geneva Conventions and military law while you're at it.

I don't believe the taliban singed them.
WE DID.

Still missed my first querstion, if you're so outraged, and with texas right there, why not join up?
Cowardice?

How about some links to what they're doing that we're not doing.
Otherwise, I'm going to question your view of warfare.

actually I served my time, but I'm guessing you didn't.
Why not just use their tactic. Start dropping bombs and tell them we'll stop when they release him.
But Obama doesn't have the cajones to do it.
He wouldn't do it with the pirates and he won't do it here.

First of all, it's an all volunteer force since over 58k kids got killed in Vietnam, and yes, I served my time, probably before you were born.

You may have served but know nothing about the miltary and rules of engagement.
There are laws, domestic and international that govern war.

We attacked their countries, looking for al queda?! How many citizens have we killed, wouldn't you be outraged if another coutnry attacked the US?\
Wouldn't you join the local groups to fight against the invading military?

Perhaps you were a grunt?
Perhaps you can reup.

And I doubt that you volunteered. I'm guessing you were one the flag burning hippies.
Would I be upset if someone bombed us??? Sure I would because I wouldn't support an extremist group like the taliban. I would be pointing them out. I'm not sure where you are going with this? This is about a soldier that was captured that is being exploited by his captures. That is against international law.

So, you have no point to make, just attack me.
I've got a nice DD214 with honors.
BTW, the 1st amendment allows me to burn a flag, or isn't that a right anyone has?
The proper way to dispose of a flag is to burn it, that's protocol.

The US is the extremist group because it attacked Iran.
We created the problem by invading their countries.
You don't see any US culpability in any of this?

How about when we put Sadaam's kids heads on sticks after we beheaded them.

We reap what we sow.

hey, you are right. we invade, we should have every expectation that they will kill our soldiers any way possible. thats why we should be carpet bombing, napalming and nuking the crap out of our enemies instead of putting our boots on the ground putting our men in harms way. if we fought the war properly, by not giving a crap what civilians we killed, we would have lost much less soldiers and finished the job much faster.
