Source of "Shoulder to shoulder, until justice is done"; is it a Biblical reference?
Please paraphrase the Italicized part for me.
All wars, even the noblest, bring a reckoning of means and ends. The war on terrorism has long since lost its crisp moral lines. Who foresaw that the battle would require a national seminar about when it's O.K. for Americans to torture prisoners and whether near drowning counts?
...whether near drowning counts [as torture] ?
The sentence is a compound predicate, a combinatino of the following two sentences--
"Who foresaw that the battle would require a national seminar about when it's O.K. for Americans to torture prisoners?"
"Who foresaw that the battle would require a national seminar about whether or not almost drowning a person counts as tortture?"
Quote:Source of "Shoulder to shoulder, until justice is done"; is it a Biblical reference?
... "is this a bible quote?"
That's what I wanted to know.
Quote:Shoulder to shoulder until justice is done.
Is it a quote from the bible?
