You are an Iraqi man at home with your wife and kids...

...when your front door gets kicked in by the US military with an arrest warrant for your wife. A neighbor has accused her of helping the insurgents so she is going to be brought in for questioning. You also have been told of the existence of video and pictures of a US soldier raping an Iraqi woman at a US run prison. Would you allow the soldiers to take your wife away?

obviously anyone would want to fight for their loved one being taken from their home. the problem is...how do you engage the battle when the opponents have the advantage of numbers and weaponry? i would verbally protest the act to no end. i would insist on the location she was being taken to and how i could get a hold of her. i would ask how long she would be detained. i would tell her sincerely that i love her. i would tell the soldiers sincerely that they are scum. if i could not get answers from the soldiers as to the whereabouts and time frame, i would vocally compare their tactics to saddam's and say they are no better than he . . .. :mad:

...I would fight them with everything I had. My .02 for the record. I am glad I am not an Iraqi man. Welcome to DU.

no, mate. that wouldn't do any good, would it? in the end, you'd be dead, your wife would be dead, and maybe a couple of united states soldiers would be dead. you cannot do much fighting if you're dead mate, that's a fact. worse case scenario my wife is taken and never seen again yeah? there's a hole that ain't being filled for awhile, sure. but i'm not going to let it go. i'll sit outside the prison or office or where evers they've taken her, and become a pain in their side...vocally. might even make a sign or too. my goal is to make them look like right little shits - give them a bad image. i think it rash to resort to fighting so quickly. and thanks for the warm invite, i appreciate it. cheers . . .. :toast:
