Captain Hill - Comments

[i]Another thing. A soldier was guarding an opposing force’s prisoner and ordered him to sit down. The prisoner didn’t, so the man kicked his feet out from under him to make him sit down. Now, tell me, who in the U.S. has not done that to a friend before? You’ve been standing there or walking down the hall and suddenly BAM!, you’re on your butt. You and your friends laugh about it and shake it off.[/i]

I totally agreed with you up until there. It seems a little obvious to me, but the main difference would be that, um, [i]they're a prisoner and your friends are free US citizens?[/i]

Massive difference. Huge one.

I do agree that what happend with Captain Hill is pretty ridiculous, and that sometimes our governmant can be a bit shady. However, I wouldn't go as far to say that our whole government is not to be trusted, and that you shouldn't join the army. There are plenty of other men in the military that would have immediatly send help and what not to Captain Hill, Captain Hill was unfourtantely obvioulsy not being commanded by intellingent people. My brother is in the army, and has faced some pretty bad crap, but he has always been sent help or whatnot. I'm not completely disagreeing with what you said in this article, I'm just saying that you shouldn't put down the whole government and army over one incident

but it are goverment and the world's goverment

That story is ridiculous. Poor Captain Hill. If he was only doing his job, shouldn't he be honored and not dismissed?

Oh, wow.

Seriously, what did they expect Captain Hill to do? Did they want him to just let all his men die? Wait until the spy gave himself up of his own free will, without being threatened?

This is just insanity.
