Hearts Broken; Eaten in Syria

[Sidhae]

That's not even original... In that commander's place, I'd try something new to make my enemies fear me, say, wearing the flayed face of my latest noteworthy enemy as a mask, or wearing a leather trenchcoat made from the tanned skins of my enemies. Or maybe using the bleached skulls of my foes as a bumper decoration for my personal car.

In any case, I'll use this incident to remind all you pro-rebel folks - this is the kind of shit that you are supporting!

Roose Bolton is that you?

Don't know who this Bolton guy was, but I'm pretty sure a human skin mask/attire and skulls for car decoration would stir up a bigger shitstorm than eating some poor dead bastard's heart (unless of course the guy was still alive, which would give a whole new meaning to "hearty lunch"), something that pretty much every reputable African warlord has done during the many civil wars of Africa.

Even negative publicity is still publicity, and no matter what Western politicians and bleeding-heart hippies would say about me in that Syrian commander's place, it would still increase my recognition, and therefore my enemy fear of me.

[Imperial Nilfgaard]

Pissing on a dead guy, fine. Hanging a man, maybe. But, what happened in Fallujah pissed me off and now this......... disgrace. I've supported the opposition since I figured out about the war but now the question that comes into mind for me is this. Who do you want running Syria? Bashar or guys like this?

I support Assad, simply because Lawful Evil is still better then Chaotic Evil.

Yep.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Saw this today at lunch, quite... disturbing really, Sickening as well.

Roose Bolton is a character from A song of Ice and Fire, a book series by a man called George R R Martin (Game of Thrones tv show is based on it). The Bolton family has a reputation of flaying their enemies alive and decorating their halls with their skins and what not. He was saying that because of your statements, you know... making a coat from tanned skins and other not so fine things to think about.

[TaQud]

What did the Heart taste like?

but seriously though thats gross

[Mizrad]

Yep.

Honestly, I think my government [USA] has the same mind set. Only SF teams have gone in. But, if rebel crap like this continues it's going to be Libya all over again. I thought we won over there until Qaddafi fucked us from the grave with Benghazi.

[Distruzio]

Not surprised at the brutality.

[Jerusalemian]

Yep.

Yea,it's gonna be hell on earth over there.

It already is.

[Jerusalemian]

Well it was a civil war,then a mini-ww2 and now hell on earth.
Seems reasonable...

[The Republic of Libertad]

Ok... Never trying Syrian cuisine.

[Lydenburg]

Western world, this is the sort of scum you're supporting.

And have been supporting elsewhere in the world for the past sixty years.

What else is new?

[Imperium of Tanith]

brb, over-reacting and firing the Nukes at the Middle East without care.

But in all seriousness, that's nasty.

[The Emerald Dawn]

Western world, this is the sort of scum you're supporting.

And have been supporting elsewhere in the world for the past sixty years.

What else is new?

Support oppressive dictator = LOSE
Support rebels with bad eating habits = LOSE.

Western World can't win.

[Lydenburg]

brb, over-reacting and firing the Nukes at the Middle East without care.

But in all seriousness, that's nasty.

This shyte happens in the Congo every day. They stopped reporting it when it stopped becoming interesting.

[Benomia]

Desecration of an enemy combatant's body post-mortem is a war crime, and should be prosecuted as such.

Gathering trophies, mutilating the bodies, using them as "warnings" or booby-trapping them. All war crimes.

If I was a rebel, I'd commit all sorts of war crimes.

You know why? Because you only die once and you gotta make it count.

Western World needs to learn from Russia. Support *cough*manipulate*cough* whoever pays the most for your arms.

That's the ticking brain of the International media for you.

I see. Never read any of those books.

Still, this Bolton sounds quite like my kind of guy. Being feared is a good thing, especially when you are at war.

Anyway, expect incidents like this to increase in frequency. Arabs and their ilk in general aren't exactly known for civilized conduct even at peacetime, so I don't see why that would change during war.

[L Ron Cupboard]

I remember saying in another thread once that civil wars are more brutal. Someone responded saying that was rubbish, how could any war be more brutal than another.

[Hungry]

How else will he gain his enemy's strength?

Is that a Drowned Cities reference, or am I just making a connection because I read that book two days ago?


Also, Syrian Extremist is crazy, whoda known.

[Soviet Russia Republic]

Too bad he didn't choke on it and die.

[Al-Faisal]

Too bad he didn't choke on it and die.

The US would probably have blamed his death on Assad and said it was "crossing the line".

[New Octopucta]

I'm not sure that's how organ transplants work.

[Disserbia]

I'd be more concerned about having it raw. He doesn't know where it's been.

I'm pretty sure it was in some other guy's body.
