The Man In The Arena

The Man In The Arena

There were a fair number of very interesting things that were revealed in the trial. The damage to the soldiers, PTSD and moral damage because of the positions they’re put in etc. The Apple podcast covers that one excellently. There was a period in there where they were asked what would happen to the detainee they were working on after they fixed him up. Well, they’d turn him over to the Iraqis. They’d torture him and so on. The defense attorney asked them if they could hear all of that since they were in the same building as them. They said yes, the screams and sometimes the gunshot. That right there is why the first thing they did was put him under upon arrival. There were comments about nursing him to death. Why would they do that? It saved him from pointless torture at the hands of the Iraqis. When asked why he had been on the side of ISIS he told them it was for the money. They weren’t looking at a radicalized Islamist. It was a mercy killing. They said torture is a wasted effort and the information you get is useless. That’s moral damage right there.

When practicing for a deployment they get put through rigorous moral and ethical dilemma scenarios. One that was discussed with Gallagher was, you run into a room and an ISIS fighter kills four SEALs and throws his weapon out the window and surrenders, what do you do? My answer is the same as his was. Kill him. That’s a tactical move that will remove you and at least one other from the fight while others are maneuvering for a new attack. It weaponizes your moral standpoint against you. In Vietnam they preferred to injure our soldiers because you injure one and three are tasked to take care of that one. It is a game of attrition. Like I said in the video listen to Teddy Roosevelt’s speech...all of it.

How bout that Crenshaw.

This is the full speech from Theodore Roosevelt April 23 1910 “The Right of the People To Rule” or “Citizenship in a Republic” as read by pocket 83
