Var du klar over at Bush-administrasjonen har byttet ut "Soldier's Creed" med "Warrior Ethos"?

 

"Soldier´s Creed" ble innført for at man aldri mer skulle få ugjerninger som "My Lai"

 

I "Soldier´s Creed" sier soldatene blandt annet :

 

"I will always act in ways creditable to the military service and the nation that it is sworn to guard.

 

(...) I will use every means I have, even beyond the line of duty, to restrain my Army comrades from actions, disgraceful to themselves and the uniform."

 

Nå er det byttet ut med "Warrior Ethos" som ikke sier et knysst om slikt.

 

"The Warrior Ethos," he wrote, "allows no end to any conflict accept total destruction of the 'enemy'. It allows no defeat ... and does not allow one ever to stop fighting (lending itself to the idea of the 'long war'). It says nothing about following orders, it says nothing about obeying laws or showing restraint. It says nothing about dishonourable actions ...".

Destroying infrastructure and cutting water and electricity "for days and even weeks is routine reaction to the resistance," he said. "Guys of the resistance do not need water and electricity, it's the families that are being harmed, and their lives which are at stake." "
