I'm not sure we're going for friends when we do that. More like, supporting the enemy of my enemy makes my enemy dead, yeah? We turn the guns on the enemies of our enemies when we no longer need their services, often enough. I wasn;t asking so much in relation to that though. More about the event itself, those directly involved in it. The beheading of an enemy combatant, vs the beheading of a child. There's a subtle but obviously important difference in framing it either way. I find both distasteful, but I find one slightly less cringe-worthy than another.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
