Every Confederate killed during the Civil War was a US citizen too (secession is illegal and not recognized). At some point, if people are trying to kill you, you kill them back.

- CydeWeys 4y agoBy the end of the war we were the ones marching on them, killing them in their cities, and burning them down. War is war. The world would be a better, safer place for us if every single al Qaeda member worldwide were dead. I'm glad the US military is trying to get as many of them as possible. The main issue I'm worried about here is collateral damage -- that can cause the actions to be counter-productive.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoSo if the military decides your rhetoric calling for the extermination of a group of people is too extreme, you're fine with them drone striking you? As what you're doing isn't drastically different to what al-Awlaki did.
- CydeWeys 4y agoYou're not even in the same ballpark of arguing sensibly here.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoRight, calling for the killing of Americans is nothing like calling for the killing of al-Awlaki, an American.
