US Government: F*#K the Troops!
That's my take on today's decision to allow the International Criminal Court to try US Troops for war crimes.
Until the UN kicks Sudan and Cuba off of its Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court is screaming to try the heads of Hezbollah and Hamas for murder--AND their fundraisers for aiding and abetting terrorism, then I do not, I cannot recognize any moral legitimacy on the part of any International court sponsored by that body.
The United States' system of law, including the UCMJ, is fully capable of trying and restraining our own soldiers, and represents the fruits of centuries of legal thought, guided by the rigorous application of case law and enlightened by the values of a democratic republic.
The United Nations, on the other hand, gives Sudan a General Assembly vote equal to Canada's.
Shameful.
