Texan's Debate of War on Terror

[TxDoc]

DEBATING THE WAR ON TERROR

 

Great illustration on how

conservatives and liberals might react differently when faced with a threat

of deadly violence:

 

Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small

children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around

the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand

is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he

reaches you and your family. What do you do?

 

Liberal Answer:

 

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man

look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring

him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the

kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of

his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be

happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he

just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could

my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I

need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a

conclusion.

 

Conservative Answer:

 

BANG!

 

Texan's Answer:

 

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of

clip being ejected and fresh clip installed)

 

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"

 

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."

 

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

 

Daughter: "Nice grouping Daddy!

Go texas I am from nebraska and I think I would do the same thing.

That's pretty good!  (for Texas, haha).  

I was in a class for Laws of Armed Conflict for the military.  The instructor asked us to define "excessive force" and a friend of mine casually said, "emptying the third clip."

 

[bummed-n-Md]

As far as I (and most other Marines) are concerned, in combat there is no such thing as excessive force if it gets the job done.

 

bummed.
