Why do Republicans support the torturing of our troops.?

[pwb]

Seems to me that when you support torture, it also says that you support
the torture of our own troops. What kind of an example is that to set?.

[JonQ]

1. Not necessarily

I support bombing terrorists, I don't support them bombing us. For instance.

3. What goes around comes around

10. Sometimes

but wanting to harm someone for harming you doesn't mean you are ok with the initial harm.

9. They have a belief that Americans are superior

I tried this one with freep types: So you are saying that if you were tortured, you would give up whatever secret it is that would let the people torturing you kill thousands of Americans?

If it will supposedly work on the terrorists, why not us?

You get a dodging attempt to avoid the racist answer: They would weaken in the face of torture and give this allegedly truthful information, but Amurkan soldiers never would.

It is wrong for "terrorists" to torture good people, but not wrong for good people, like amurkans, to torture "terrorists."

In their minds it is black and white, either/or, no issues or categories or facts or subtle thoughts to be had.

11. Oh, it's not that they're in favor of our troops being tortured -- they just couldn't care less.

As long as they can support their own "24" fantasies, they don't care about any implications for U.S. troops.
