Koko78 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 A $500 fine to kill ISIS asswipes? Seems like a fair "punishment" for the "crime" of kicking jihadi ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 So based on your logic the US is also a nation of cowards. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Switzerland's neutrality posture has always been for one reason only, which is to remain the world's banker. Stay out of conflicts and provide a safe haven for the money of those involved. Quite profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand their point — but how can they say “we didn’t defy Hitler” proudly. Piss on Switzerland. Hopefully they get theirs one day.

Buffalo_Gal Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hard to get upset at a man who uses his training to kill ISIS. Remember the Swiss Guard protects the Pope (they look so cute in their little outfits, and unlike some military are not squeamish about having their photos taken when on guard at the Vatican). This man clearly takes threats against Christianity very seriously. I'm not certain how his actions equal his being a coward. I am not certain how his "sentence" means the Swiss Guard are cowards. Unless that is, your word choice was simply meant to provoke or troll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do not see how that is cowardly either. This man broke a rule. He fought to help people live when being attacked. It is what he is trained to do. He did not fight against Switzerland, he simply tried to save lives (it could be argued that he put Swiss neutrality in jeopardy, but it doesn't seem that his superiors felt that was the case). It appears his superiors felt he needed a "reprimand" but clearly didn't feel what he did was deserving of a stern a stern reprimand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man did what he thought was right, and fought in Syria to save lives. The government did what it thought was right by prosecuting him, and the judge did what he thought was right by fining him $500 for the transgression. There is no fault to be had by anyone.

A country that prides itself in not standing up to evil is a country of cowards. Sadly, they never paid for their cowardice all because of the blood of sons of America. The Swiss are even more pathetic than the French and Italians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a minimum penalty that could be imposed as punishment? And was this it? (I donno, I am seriously asking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
