Gank, sometimes you're just too much.

(not referring to video, which I find disturbing)

[Gank]

And you're too little.

[vyper]

Leave cocks out of it lads.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Specify.

If you're gonna insult me, do it right

[Gank]

Insult you? Thats not an insult, leave your insecurities out of it.

And specify yourself, too much how?

[Jetmech Jr.]

It's just that every time a thread like this pops up, it seems like you've got a stick up your ass (no offense intended).

It gets kinda funny (if predictable). I practically knew what your first post in this thread would be about before you even posted

[Gank]

Right, and you think I care why?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Never said I did. I was just answering your question.

[Gank]

If you find what I have to say funny why did you say this:
(not referring to video, which I find disturbing)?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Because, whereas I can read this guys full quote and understand (to an extent) where he's coming from:

Fun to shoot some people

Guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil

, the vid features unecessary killing and a guy with dental issues saying "Lets do it again!"

I can identify with the first guy more easily (I wouldn't mind pumping a few bullets into someone like he described), even if he appears slightly misguided.

And I don't think he's referring to all Iraqi's when he makes the description.

[Gank]

And how exactly does he know which ones are fun to shoot or not? If hes not reffering to all Iraqis how does he know when hes shooting at a wifebeater or not?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Dunno. 'tis just the impression I got.

Maybe he doesn't know. Maybe he assumes that the Iraqis with the guns and bombs are such. Like I said, probably somewhat misguided.

It's easier to do violence when you feel it's justified.

[Gank]

Yeah but hes not trying to justify the killing, hes trying to justify getting enjoyment from it.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Well, to be completely honest, if I thought I was killing "bad people," I'd probably enjoy it too.

[Rictor]

A trigger-happy cowboy in the military?

I'm shocked, simply shocked! Who would have ever expected such a thing?

[Gank]

So if somebody told you americans hang black men for kicks you'd enjoy gunning down any US soldier you came across?

[Jetmech Jr.]

No. But if I did kill someone I strongly suspected of hanging black men for kicks, then yes I'd likely enjoy it.

EDIT: Let me clarify- No, I wouldn't enjoy it if someone just told that to me out of the blue. However, if there was more evidence to back up that statement, then yes, I'd likely enjoy killing whoever I strongly suspected of it.

Not just soldiers, either. If there was, say, a mob of civilians lynching people, then I'd likely enjoy it just as much.

I sound a bit like a psychopath, don't I?

[Flipside]

Due Process, it's one of the things I truly agree with about law, and that's innocent until proven guilty.

That said, when faced with a situation as you say, it is hard not to let your need for personal vengeance overtake the need for due process.

Anyway, I'll butt out now

[vyper]

Alright, to take us away from the Iraq context and speak more generically:

You were one of the soldiers who found Beslan concentration camp. You see everything there is to see there. You have your British rifle in hand, and find some German guards.

What do you do?

Spoiler:

In reality, there were quite a few "unexplained" dead guards around afterwards

[Jetmech Jr.]

Torture them. Slowly.
