Actually, without being bound to narrow paradigms of use, the term 'politically correct/ incorrect' may be applied to any socio-political situation, including war and the treatment of combatants, prisoners, casualties et al. as defined in the Geneva Conventions.
From the US politicos;
Ben Carson was asked about the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
"And our military needs to know that they're not going to be prosecuted when they come back because somebody has said you did something that was politically incorrect," he said.
"There's no such thing as a politically correct war. We need to grow up. We need to mature. If you're going to have rules for war, you should just have a rule that says no war. Other than that, we have to win. Our life depends on it."
Carson did not specify what he meant by "politically incorrect" behavior.

So here we go, re-apply the lefty liberal term of 'political correctness' across a broad range of socio-political activity and of course you'll find that warfare is included in that range, regardless of how you attempt to separate military actions from civilian issues.
The whole point of the Geneva Conventions was to limit presumably 'unfair' warfare practices and their consequences, and all of that falls within the paradigms of both social, political and military actions.
Ain't arguing that point one bit...But his platform is unstoppable, except by his own party, if they can in any way get him out...And that will only be the first war...Originally Posted by baldrick
The Bush bastards should've been executed alongside Saddam...Yes, the days of oil are almost over...I say almost, because there's enough fortune left to be made for one helluva war where one last almighty sucking up of oil for the war machine will send the price through the roof and end the old way for good while the cocksuckers get rich on the blood of the masses...
Heh...Just spewing some shit and "raging against the dying of the light"...Don't wanna go "quietly into that good night"...
Glad you boys are cottoning to my Geneva Convention horseshit...Rules for war, for fuck's sake...
And then waterboard the shit outta anybody who breaks the rules...
Can Trump win the Republican candidacy and then actually win the presidency?...
Will he build a wall and start/continue WWIII?...
Will Westmoreland be unearthed to lead the friends of Christ to victory over the pig fearing ones?...
The gay Anderson Cooper and that fckwit Wolf Blitzen, one of Santa's retired reindeer, will keep us updated as another killer hi-so mows down unsuspecting lowly rat-munchers on the Bangkok sois...
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots...
Good thing Christ is rising on Sunday...There's hope for us, yet...
Think Europe had better get used to attacks on a regular bases, seems no matter how bad or often, no government does anything.
Most of the terrorists are on watch lists, but watching does not remove the threat.
Bombing the desert doesn't kill the enemy in your inner city slum, the war is in the streets of Europe now, stepping up security can not stop attacks.
When you have runing gun battles in the streets, that's civil war, you can't expect the police to act as civil police when they are in the enemies territory.
Guns will get into the UK sooner or later, more martyrs will join the cause, cities will be shut down, business will cease as public transport is closed at the first sign of a threat.
Yet not one real plan to tackle the problem has been put forward, people want action and that action will come from right wing extremist groups.
Then more bombs, more shooting and the system will break down, police forces, emergency responses are not equipped to deal with on going incidents.
Our alleged freedom will be replaced by martial law, troops on the streets, APCs instead of police cars and the fault is all due to weak government.
Too late now for political answers, time for force, deport, round up, shot, take back the ghettos, close the mosques and make the Muslims comply to western values or get out.

Well you can stretch practically any word beyond its intended meaning to include practically anything you want to can't you, retrospectively or in the future. And given that "PC" is most often heard as a pejorative expression - here on the forum for instance - I hardly see how it's a "lefty liberal term". It's used as a catch-all by elements of the right to blame for practically everything.Originally Posted by ENT
Oh, and Ben Carson also believes that the notion of evolution was encouraged by the devil. So there's that too.
^^^ Well said, thank you, Baitong boy.

US-Caused Civilian Deaths Versus Toll of 'Terrorist'
According to mainstream media, the world is mourning Friday’s deaths of over 130 people in Paris, due to a series of attacks by the Islamic State group. But very few seem to remember the nearly 4 million innocent civilians the United States and their allies have killed during their so called “War on Terror.”

Big Ol' Lucky Ol' Al.
^ That's it, indeed...And then they're shocked when the buildings come tumbling down on home turf...
Either that or a people's militia, including bovver boys, footy hooligans and Welsh/Scots/Irish nationalists will whop the poo outa dem jumped up Pakis, Banglas, Morroco moron power hungry and other Islamic inbreds, until they either conform to Euro/white man rules in Europe, integrate on an egalitarian, non-exclusive basis with Euro/whiteman or die.
The choice is theirs.
Very few acknowledge the ongoing murder of hundreds of non-combatant civilians,... daily by Islamic groups, globally.
Islam, an evil, ignorant, exclusive death cult and undesirable influence upon global well being!
Is there any other group/political party/nation on earth that commits horrifying atrocities upon others and themselves on such a scale as Islamic motivated sub-morons indulge in?
Tolerance of such inbred sub-intelligent peoples' intimidation is an insanity!
Islam should be banned, according to the agreements under the UN Charter of Human Rights
Talking of perspectives ......... ‘Lone wolf’ attacks account for 70 percent of all terrorist deaths in the West since 2006 and 80 percent of those deaths can be attributed to right-wing extremism, nationalism, supremacism, anti-government extremism and other types of political ideologies rather than Islamic fundamentalism.
Hey ENT, wrap yer chops round this articleSince 1948 some 11 million Muslims have been violently killed , over 90% of them have been killed by other Muslims !http://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/...ing-muslims-2/
those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it - you want to let stupid cnuts kill people - againOriginally Posted by ENT

Is that right?
Then let the leaders study history.
If they can't lead appropriately, then the masses will take over.
If government won't protect me on the streets, I have no option but to protect myself.
If the problem is within my own community, a community consensus might promote a vigilante presence to safeguard me and mine.
Now that's a reasonable course of action, given the propensity for violent takeover by a bunch of inbred sky fairy followers with a death wish is concerned.
The notion of a bunch of right-wing football/BNP-type eejits banding together to drive the Muslims from the UK is the preserve of right-wing online fantasist drivel.
Let's face it, most of them are cowards.
So what about Boko Haram , they have killed more people than ISIS and their total have hit historic high's ......The Nigerian jihadist group have killed 1000's in Africa and just five countries suffer the bulk of terrorist acts, Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria ,accounting for 78 percent of all fatalities in 2014. Iraq bears the heaviest burden with 9,929 terrorist fatalities in 2014..
So a 100 get killed in Paris and 30+ in Brussels and you think the west is being hit hard .....I think it's you that needs to WAKE UP and see the bigger picture instead of insular European view that you seem top have !!!
so does drumpf talk of building a wall - and we all know that is just out and out fantasyOriginally Posted by HermantheGerman
drumpf should run for presidency of the EU and tell everyone he will build a wall
