Showing Original Post only (View all)Being shot while parachuting from an airplane, or having a bomb drop on your head [View all]
I see several posters saying that it was very cowardly to shoot the people who had parachuted out of those air plains in Syria. I think one could easily argue that bombing people from thousands of feet in the air could also be considered cowardly.
What I think these posters fail to realize is that these people, on the ground, are constantly being bombed. I would imagine by this point, they would probably shoot anything that moves.
It's just to damned easy to sit around from our arm chairs and call people cowards and place our judgments on them. I would not know however, since as of yet I have not had a bomb dropped on me. Perhaps you know better. I am not Jesus or Buddha, and these people probably are not either.

No, actually you are able to decide if you want to murder someone or not.

There is nothing that has ever been fair about warfare, nor will there ever be.

Obama is right, Putin needs to focus on Isis and leave anti-Assad forces alone
