Can't Trust the Red Cross

Great. Now you can't even trust the damn Red Cross. It used to be a reputable organization, and in wartime you would always avoid the Red Cross, because you knew they were the good guys and not actively working against anyone. Now all that has changed.

It seems the Red Cross, in cooperation with the Italian government, operated upon, healed, and released to kill again, terrorists who were and are killing Americans. Nice.

So soldiers, when you see the Red Cross now, you have to assume they're terrorists because if they're not, they are clearly actively supporting them.

1 And they sell the blood we donate to the highest bidder. But I still donate. Glad to see your server recovered. (*)>

2 I was under the impression that the Red Cross was a multi-national organization that didn't take sides. IE They will operate/heal solders/civilians on both sides of a war. That's why neither side targets them. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not, then they were just following their own mission statement. We may not like it, but that is what they do.

3 True, birdwoman. And thanks. Contagion, in this case they DID take sides -- they actively worked against and lied to Americans to heal others. If they're lying to Americans, how can they be trusted to do anything else they claim they're doing?

4 They did what they felt was the best in order to secure the release of two of THEIR people being held hostage. Yes it sickens me that they would cave in to negotiating with terrorists, but I don't see that as taking sides. I just view it as lack of character. To be honest for what the Red Cross does, and if they truely want to stay neutral, they shouldn't be reporting who they are helping to anyone anyway. If they are going to do that, then they are no longer impartial and every vehcile with a red cross on it should be targeted as a potential security risk.

5 I can see your point, but the lying also makes it worse -- and yes, that does tend to make all Red Cross vehicles suspect, which is the big problem.
