Stern:I'm glad you brought up Memorial Day.
Stern: I was in Vietnam, I'd like to talk to you about it.
Stern: I had 17 kills in Vietnam. and I'm telling you, I really should've had more.
Stern: Officially, I should've had more kills.Let me tell you what I'm talking about.
Stern: I was in a ##### village, and I come upon a schoolhouse.
Stern: So I grab one of my grenades off my belt,and I throw it right into the schoolhouse.
Stern: And I blow up the whole damn thing.
Stern: So I'm out there counting all the bodies.
Robin:You threw a grenade into a school?
Stern: That's exactly what I'm telling you.
Stern:I must've killed, like, 30 kids.
Stern: My ######## lieutenant comes up to me, and he says,"Stern, those are little kids.That counts as one person."


Robin: Howard, I was in the military.I was a captain in the Air Force. What were you?
Stern: What was I?
Robin: Yeah, what were you?
Stern: What were you again?
Robin: I was a captain.
Stern:That's what I was. I was a captain.
Robin: And what were you in?
Stern: I was in Vietnam.
Robin: Ohh! Army? Navy?
Stern: In the Army.
Robin: Did you have a division?
Stern: The 3rd.
Robin: 3rd what?
Stern: I was in the 3rd...I don't know what I was in, Robin,
Stern: But I'm saying I was in the 3rd, and the point of this whole thing
Stern: is that I think a kill is a kill is a kill,and killing a kid should be just as good as killing an adult.
Robin: Well, I suppose even if you're killing children, they should count them.

Pakistan to execute 500 terror convicts following school massacre


Pakistan plans to execute around 500 militants in coming weeks after the government lifted a moratorium on the death penalty in terror cases following a Taliban school massacre.

Six militants have been hanged since Friday amid rising public anger over Tuesday's slaughter in the northwestern city of Peshawar, which left 149 people dead including 133 children.

After the deadliest terror attack in Pakistani history, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ended the six-year moratorium on the death penalty, reinstating it for terrorism-related cases.

"Interior ministry has finalised the cases of 500 convicts who have exhausted all the appeals, their mercy petitions have been turned down by the president and their executions will take place in coming weeks," a senior government official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

A second official confirmed the information.

Of the six hanged so far, five were involved in a failed attempt to assassinate the then-military ruler Pervez Musharraf in 2003, while one was involved in a 2009 attack on army headquarters.

Police, troops and paramilitary Rangers have been deployed across the country and airports and prisons put on red alert as the executions take place and troops intensify operations against Taliban militants in northwestern tribal areas.

Sharif has ordered the attorney general's office to "actively pursue" capital cases currently in the courts, a government spokesman said.

"Prime Minister has also issued directions for appropriate measures for early disposal of pending cases related to terrorism," the spokesman said without specifically confirming the plan to execute 500.

Pakistan has described Tuesday's bloody rampage as its own "mini 9/11", calling it a game-changer in the fight against extremism.

The decision to reinstate executions has been condemned by human rights groups, with the United Nations also calling for it to reconsider.

Human Rights Watch on Saturday termed the executions "a craven politicised reaction to the Peshawar killings" and demanded that no further hangings be carried out.

Pakistan began its de facto moratorium on civilian executions in 2008, but hanging remains on the statute books and judges continue to pass death sentences.

Before Friday's resumption, only one person had been executed since then - a soldier convicted by a court martial and hanged in November 2012.

Now that is retribution

Surely that will put an end to the cycle of violence...
