Who started perpetrating the mistaken notion that surrendering to the enemy during war is somehow "heroic"?

Question

Or is "Death Before Dishonor" just a load of BS?

Answer 1

Well, it's the same "peace loving" liberals who want to riot in the streets when their g*y rights aren't being given out.  

Answer 2

i didnt know anyone did surrender . in order to answer that, i would have to know who you mean????????????????

Answer 3

More importantly, who started perpetuating the mistaken notion that IRAQ had something to do with 9/11? Halliburton? I mean CHENEY- talk about dishonoring our country!?!? Bush/Cheney - can't find ANY honor there.

Answer 4

What's really heroic is turning down an early release because not everyone at the prison camp is being offered that chance.

Heroic is choosing continued torture and imprisonment when you could be on a plane back home, because you believe that doing the right thing is important, even when it costs you personally.

Answer 5

How dare you sit behind your keyboard and mock this man.  

Answer 6

For all of you that don't know, this is yet another of the many accounts of the angry, hate spewing "Nokia Navy Seals".

To answer your rant, Nokia.... Do all you want to try and slam McCain.  He was tortured so badly he can't lift his arms. And now you want to dishonor him?

Why not stick to truth and issues?  Gonna slam Palins daughter some more now too?  How about Obama, lets talk about his kids!

You are disgusting.

Answer 7

For all McCain knew, he chose "death before dishonor" when he refused an early release.

The "load of BS" is the notion that somehow he now deserves to be discredited for this self sacrificing and heroic decision.

Answer 8

That would be Jesus, who knew that the only true enemy is the anger and hatred inside one's own heart.

Answer 9

Probably the same people who perpetuate the myth that a pre-emptive war on a third-world nation is courageous

(pssst...whisper:  he's talking about McCain being a POW in 'Nam)

Answer 10

To be fair, getting captured isn't the same as surrendering.

Answer 11

So all POWs surrendered?

Are you sure some were not found wounded and unconscious or incapable of resisting when they were captured?  It happens.  

Answer 12

I think you have it wrong. The mistaken notion is that pulling out of a war that we shouldn't have started anyway is somehow unheroic, especially when we're not even fighting for our own freedom anymore but instead, that of iraqs.

Answer 13

My avatar and name sums you up rather nicely.

And in the spirit of Y/A........ my answer is NO!

Answer 14

The notion was started by fat rich snotty socialistic homosexuals who never fought for this country.
