I may miss a few things, because I haven't been back to this thread for a bit. Yes I HAVE spent time in the military. 8 years in the Marine Corps, including Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Maybe because of the atrocities that I have seen it leaves me jaded....maybe. However I have a deep love for all things military, in concept, theory, AND aplication. Yes, If you are given an order, and you can PROVE that it is an illegal order, you CAN disobey it. But my analogy was different that yours. At the checkpoint locations and I do mean EVERY checkpoint, the phrase "STOP, all persons must stop at this location" is written in Arabic on a sign that must be visible from 200 feet. ALSO the commander of said check point is taught to SPEAK that same phrase is Arabic, so that he may warn those approaching.
If the driver, who was 16 years old did not stop, would I shoot? simple answer... HELL YES! I am not there to pick and chose who MIGHT be wanting to kill us, and who won't. My job is simple, stop all vehicles, and search them for weapons or contraband. If they don't stop, shoot. Now this might upset some of you, and I am sorry, but considering some of the things that I have seen over there, it is a necessary evil. Unless you have spent time in combat, and dealt with some of the bastards over there who have killed our soldiers, then I am sorry, but you have no basis in condoning my actions. There is a video floating around on the internet, posted by terrorists that shows our soldiers being shot by a sniper. The entire video is sidelined with phrases saying that all persons who are not Muslim, or are in support of America, and the UN, NEED to be killed. Not accepted in their own contries, and left in peace, but killed. These people want to come to America and KILL you, me, your family...SIMPLY because we are not Muslims. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for ANYONE that has that mindset.

Should we end the war on terror? yea. that WOULD be nice, but do you HONESTLY think that if we just pulled out, and brought all our troops home, that they would stop, and leave us be? No. Why do I think this? because THEY have said it. THEY have said that even if we leave, they will contine to attack us. Not because we attacked them, or that we interfered, but because we are not MUSLIM. THAT is their words, not mine!

I will post the link to the video if the Moderators say that it is ok, but I will warn you...it is VERY graphic. These are the soldiers that lived down the street from you....went to church with you.... spent your kids birthdays with your kids as well.
