i really don't understand why it matters if we (the US) apologize or not
why is this even an issue to anyone?
No, the more important thing is that Obama did a mic drop. He's cool. Fucking everything up, but cool while doing it.yes we should return to worrying about micro aggressions and men pissing in women's bathrooms.
you know, important liberal shit.

The entire world? Name one spot in foreign policy has been a success.Can you point to the post that remotely resembles your claim? No? Then keep punching that boogieman, I'm sure some day you'll actually connect.
think about it
Because liberal cucks go around the world apologizing to everybody thinking it'll get us ahead. It won't. Being Neville chamberlain never has.i agree ninjas are scary but that doesn't explain why this is an issue

I guess he could have rolled up and been like "See what you bitches get for fucking with us!" while simultaneously whipping out his dick.

Why doesn't obama just go apologize to the Chinese for something and then they'll stop their south china sea aggression.
Maybe if he apologizes to muslims for something they'll stop killing people.

Hey asshole, He never apologized.
Are you tripling-down on stupid again?
our "intellectualism" is the future.
The big news in Japan seems to focus around asking the US to try and stop the military related rape epidemic of it's children and women
The film estimates at least 500,000 women have been sexually assaulted in the US military since women were first allowed to enter the armed forces in the 1940s.
Official Department of Defence figures in the US show that out of 3,158 reported sexual assault cases in 2010, only 21 per cent of those cases went to trial. Of those, only half were convicted. The stats paint a shocking picture of an extensive cover-up that has been happening for decades.
Anybody that was dead was considered a VC. If you killed someone they said, "How do you know he's a VC?" and the general reply would be, "He's dead," and that was sufficient.
When we went through the villages and searched people the women would have all their clothes taken off and the men would use their penises to probe them to make sure they didn't have anything hidden anywhere and this was raping but it was done as searching
The main thing was that if an operation was covered by the press there were certain things we weren't supposed to do, but if there was no press there, it was okay. I saw one case where a woman was shot by a sniper, one of our snipers.
When we got up to her she was asking for water. And the Lt. said to kill her. So he ripped off her clothes, they stabbed her in both breasts, they spread-eagled her and shoved an E- tool up her vagina, an entrenching tool, and she was still asking for water. And then they took that out and they used a tree limb and then she was shot.
....
We moved into a small hamlet, 19 women and children were rounded up as VCS--Viet Cong Suspects -- and the lieutenant that rounded them up called the captain on the radio and he asked what should be done with them.
The captain simply repeated the order that came down from the colonel that morning. The order that came down from the colonel that morning was to kill anything that moves, which you can take anyway you want to take it
I turned, and I looked in the area. I looked toward where the supposed VCS were, and two men were leading a young girl, approximately 19 years old, very pretty, out of a hootch.
She had no clothes on so I assumed she had been raped, which was pretty SOP [Standard Operating Procedure], and she was thrown onto the pile of the 19 women and children, and five men, around the circle, opened up on full automatic with their M-16s. And that was the end of that.
Back home in California, Henry published an account of the slaughter and held a news conference to air his allegations. Yet he and other Vietnam veterans who spoke out about war crimes were branded traitors and fabricators. No one was ever prosecuted for the massacre.
Now, nearly 40 years later, declassified Army files show that Henry was telling the truth about the Feb. 8 killings and a series of other atrocities by the men of B Company.
...
Though not a complete accounting of Vietnam war crimes, the archive is the largest such collection to surface to date. About 9,000 pages, it includes investigative files, sworn statements by witnesses and status reports for top military brass.
The records describe recurrent attacks on ordinary Vietnamese families in their homes, farmers in rice paddies, teenagers out fishing. Hundreds of soldiers, in interviews with investigators and letters to commanders, described a violent minority who murdered, raped and tortured with impunity.
...
Retired Brig. Gen. John H. Johns, a Vietnam veteran who served on the task force, says he once supported keeping the records secret but now believes they deserve wide attention in light of alleged attacks on civilians and abuse of prisoners in Iraq.
"We can't change current practices unless we acknowledge the past," says Johns, 78.
...
One hundred forty-one instances in which U.S. soldiers tortured civilian detainees or prisoners of war with fists, sticks, bats, water or electric shock.
Investigators determined that evidence against 203 soldiers accused of harming Vietnamese civilians or prisoners was strong enough to warrant formal charges. These "founded" cases were referred to the soldiers' superiors for action.
Ultimately, 57 of them were court-martialed and just 23 convicted, the records show.
Fourteen received prison sentences ranging from six months to 20 years, but most won significant reductions on appeal. The stiffest sentence went to a military intelligence interrogator convicted of committing indecent acts on a 13-year-old girl in an interrogation hut in 1967.
He served seven months of a 20-year term, the records show.
My own experience on this subject goes to World War Two. I was a survivor of General Pattons Third Army. He said he expected rapes when we were in North Africa and one of his most (in)famous quotes [Im cleaning this up] a soldier who wont f*#k wont fight. (see: Independent.co.uk article Panther Soup, by John Gimlette)
Retired Air Force Captain Dorothy H. Mackey, who is also an ordained church minister and who was herself raped by her Colonel and Lt. Colonel superiors, has written and posted an almost unbelievable article on this subject. Her organization STAAAMP knows of over 40 U.S. Generals, Admirals and Colonels who have been given immunity by U.S. Courts for serious criminal sexual behavior. (see: refusingtokill.net)
The Pentagon ordered Lt. Colonel Charles P. McDowell, a Military Criminal Investigator, to prepare a checklist of 57 trial questions to rape victims to damage and/or belittle rape victims trial testimony. In the meantime, the Pentagon has contrived five immunity laws with the U.S. Justice Department to protect military rapists.
In the meantime rapes of both military males and females are going on and usually the victims are killed and the death is called suicide. (see: Alex Constantines blacklist)
I am attempting to help clean up P&N by not engaging in ad hominems. I'd suggest you do the same.
If you were interested in "cleaning up P&N," one would think you'd refrain from posting opinion pieces from the Federalist and Breitbart, no?
raping a conquered land is history.txt
Nothing's gonna happen though, except for more rape. Rape's pretty much SOP in the military.
I imagine it can be different in war zones, got me.
I dated a hot Irish red head LCpl in the Marines who was also hit on buy one of the pilots (Captain) in the squadron and he got in trouble for fraternization at the time.
And worked with another WM Cpl who was a hot woman from Guam I was good friends with (She conned me into taking her to a Journey concert once, but I didn't gripe as the tickets were very hard to get att and she just looked good on my arm) that the Squadron Sgt Maj got in trouble with when he tried to rape her.
Both of those pretty much involved people getting transferred to other places att.
But that is getting off track I guess, sorry.
