Col. Tim Collins' inspirational speech to his troops in Iraq, recreated by Kenneth Branagh.
From an article by Blue Texan on Crooks & Liars:
Here's Gen. George Washington, on how he expected American soldiers to treat prisoners.
“Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.”
When did it become acceptable for Americans to debate whether or not prisoners should be tortured?
