That's what a legitimate authority does even when the actions of their members don't actually match the categorization as terrorism or barbarism. It's a higher standard than can be expected from actual terrorists, actual barbarians. You know the type.
Didn't really hit my surprise bells and I doubt it hits theirs either. We're dealing with people who learn to dehumanize as a part of their jobs, in a fundamentally dehumanizing situation. It's not surprising that they fail to see the humanity of a piece of prosthesis - they fail to see the humanity in humans too. Known known, that's the reason for the rules against it.
Sideline - do you think that australians doing that might help the people of afghanistan realize that their lives are worthless? Asking for a friend.
? the western invasions demolished all regions it touched beyond repair.
These soldiers are mercenaries, and only fight in the army because they want the cash. They are criminals, thieves and it is expected from them.
Quote:Just like the American soldiers in Iraq.
There are far better examples than this australian one, of being criminals and thieves and terrorists and barbarians, if we're using us forces in iraq as an example - and that's kind of the point, isn't it?
Your histrionics don't seem particularly cogent or genuine.
