Poll for patriots

[ThaSaltCracka]

I actually thought the whole thing was pretty funny actually, but I still answered no.

lol, no, it's just always good for a laugh. In fact I'll bring it up tonight at our poker game just for fun. I'll ask the patriotic question and see what they say.

I, BTW, said no. Because like Astro(?) mentioned, there is sure to be a few others that are more than willing.

"i think this is a pretty dumb question, as there will assurably be somebody else willing to do it."

Perhaps that's why Cyrus posed this question.

Results from this poll will of course be forwarded by Cyrus to one of our Generals in Iraq.

Technically, no soldier could do this, nor could it be ordered as both are a violation of the UCMJ. Ordering a subordinate to commit sodomy isn't a legal order, while sexual assault is a pretty easy one to peg as illegal.

Despite that, this just comes back to the boiling baby theoretical they give us in 1st year criminal law: You capture a terrorist and his family shortly after he's planted a bomb in NY City. Estimates are that the bomb will kill millions of innocent civilians. The bomb is set to blow in an hour. The terrorist is fully versed in resisting torture, but is known to possess an uncommon devotion to family. Do you boil his 3-month old baby in a large pot of water on the stove in order to force him to talk? (Assume you believe that this will most likely encourage him to truthfully reveal the location of the bomb.)
