By that measure we should have just used the GITMO detainees for medical training.

Now there is an idea.

Don't think for a minute that they wouldn't do it to us if they had any formal training programs. (medical wise)

Seems to be popular in ridiculous arguments like this.

If I remember right. That means "work will set you free". Or something to that extent. I spent 15 months in Germany and befriended some of the locals. Very nice people. The older ones liked the GI's.


The idea of humanely putting down the pigs is against reasoning. The goats or pigs are subjected to the extreme that they would surely die quickly if not for the medics attention.

I don't remember if the medic had to watch the setting up of the test (stabbing,burning,shooting) or if they were called in after it was complete. Like a call for a medic on a battlefield.

Work Makes Free.
Gate from your typical concentration camp like where Mengele liked to work! He'd be in agreement with you about using gitmo prisoners.

I guess I should have put one of these after my previous post. As it was meant to be read with a bit of sarcasm.

If 19 thousand pigs have to die to save the life of one of our service men, I am all about it. I dont mind if my bacon has a few holes in it..

This is a no-brainer.

Spence it is rare when we disagree on moral's..

Likwid I loved that quote. Read that book and others. That is probably the most profound words he wrote of all his teachings.

And thats why we should strive not to be barbarians, but civil.
