How about you help the 10,000+ kids who die in Africa each and every day?
Aren't these children worthy of your attention?
How about you worry about the Kurds?
18 millions people robbed of their country by Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Doesn't interest you, heu?
How about the people from Tibet being slaughtered by the Chinese? No interest to you too I guess?
A far as taking part in those activities, I certainly would not, I was in the first gulf war and had to guard Iraqi prisoners, they were just a bunch of scared poor guys who wanted anything but to fight and die for saddam, they surely did not make us feel like abusing them, we only felt pity toward them

I'm concerned equally for all people and I try not to discriminate them over any characteristic to the degree this is possible. I've been asked in the past here if the life of an american worths more than the life of a poor iraqi or a guy from another 3rd world country. For you as American probably worths more, for me they worth the same. Every life is unique and counts. America is probably one of the very few countries that can start a war to protect/liberate/rescue not thousands, just few american citizens. If you further think of this it's based on the same principle with what I stated.
The thread is about iraqi prisoners and not about Africa or Kurds. If you think this thread shouldn't exist please state it, I believe the opposite. As I said first it's sad cause these events can give bad impression for the general picture of the US army. I stated it's unfair.
If you want not your words to be misunderstood you need to make your comments more clear. Honestly you are the only one I keep misinterpreting here and by no mean it's done intentionally.
