I said an obligation which you have undertaken, in addition to having no honour, apparently you can't read neither.GrumpyCatFace wrote:What?

Now of course, no man of honour would be surprised that Grumpy has no honour to the point of not even grasping the concept, I mean, who knew?

Re: Sweden Capitulated
ISIS would be probably a good example of the Grumpy doctrine, you gain the pledge of ISIS, but they regneg on their obligation, when you ask them why, they'll say it's because you're an infidel, so in their principles, they do not have to honour any obligations they have undertaken to you.

Re: Sweden Capitulated
So, if a kid makes the trip to the ME, and signs up as an ISIS fighter, ignorant of the reality, then discovers kids being fed into blenders and wants to quit, he would be 'dis-honourable' for leaving. The 'honourable' fighter would stand by his agreement, and help. That's your definition?Smitty-48 wrote:ISIS would be probably a good example of the Grumpy doctrine, you gain the pledge of ISIS, but they regneg on their obligation, when you ask them why, they'll say it's because you're an infidel, so in their principles, they do not have to honour any obligations they have undertaken to you.

Re: Sweden Capitulated
Indeed, if they pledged their service, they are honour bound to fullfil it, unto death, and as such, if for example, we turned them as an asset against ISIS, they would be traitors to their cause, although, that's how espionage goes, and since we have pledged nothing to ISIS and in fact offer them no quarter, we are not dishonorable in our exploitation of the traitors in their midst.GrumpyCatFace wrote:So, if a kid makes the trip to the ME, and signs up as an ISIS fighter, ignorant of the reality, then discovers kids being fed into blenders and wants to quit, he would be 'dis-honourable' for leaving.

Re: Sweden Capitulated
So then, your answer to my original question is 'yes, ISIS fighters are honououourable'.
