They are obviously sub-humans.

It is kind of an inside joke for me. Whenever I randomly decide to jokingly discriminate against a group it is always redheads and lefties.

I always hit lefties when I pitched for baseball and I don't know why I picked redheads...

I reckon you're limiting your options by leaving out redheads. you might think about reconsidering one day.

Actually, it's what you're saying: it shows that for someone who seems never to have read his Orwell, you're awfully adept at doublethink -- the art of artful incomprehension. Whether you've mastered duckspeak as well I will leave to the rest of the readership.

"Death squads" in this context are small potatoes to them Bruce. Look for the key words from my response below, in the 4th para of the linked page, for a hint towards the magnitude of what they can actually do.

It's probably just that no redhead has ever given him the green light!

Fourth paragraph.
Quote:
Richard was assigned to a SCUBA SFODA (Special Forces Operational Detachment ALPHA or A Team), and a SADM Green Light Team (Special Atomic Demolitions Munitions) a nuclear delivery team. During these years he conducted operations in 7 countries including reconnaissance in Iraq, and delivered instruction in advanced combat trauma, field surgical skills to members form 10 European and Mid Eastern Countries. He was selected to be the principal creator and Senior Instructor of the NATO International Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol Medic Course, in Weingarten, Federal Republic of Germany.
That's what I'm talking about... "and damn good at it". A "team" of this nature, operating out of an embassy, could create a ton of havoc.
My concern is oversight... power corrupts, ya know? Power with a skewed perspective is very dangerous when it's corrupted.

Just taking the fight to the bad guys. I have no problem with it. Glad they are doing it. I still don't buy the "death squad" lable.

Yeah, Bruce, they're just an elite specialized highly-trained squad who are there to take the fight to the bad guys, of course! They are in NO way a 'death squad!'

*snort*

Bad guys? Its a lot more complicated then that. I get very suspicious when there is a clear cut good versus evil.
