The same way, by writing what he did, that soldier gave whoever set up that website, a tool to further hate against America.

So which action in your eyes is worse? The sailor writing a message which normally would not be seen by anyone else or the deliberate posting of a hate filled message on the internet for millions to see.

I know the answer to that question

What a solid argument. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, it still makes a sound...

I think its bad form to put something like that on a bomb, but most of our soldiers are still kids, who are a lot braver than I am, so if they have to write that on there, then they have to write that on there.

But for the person/people catching that bomb, I think the least of their worries are what's written on it.

You must demonize the ememy or you might think twice about slaughtering them. our boys are doing this and everyone else would too, Purley pshychological they mean no harm. People are people.

Take solace in the fact that you are right and ignore everyone else in this thread.

Jumping Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick, the human race never ceases to amaze me. People are now complaining about the USA bombing countries, not for the bombings and their effects, but for what one guy wrote on the side of a bomb casing with a piece of chalk. Gee, if I were on the recieving end of the ordinance, which would bother me more... getting bombed, or the chance that maybe, even though I will never be able to read the message on the side of a bomb on the way down, an American had chalked the equivalent of "Happy Easter" on the side of the bomb. Hmmm... let me think, this is a hard question. Which matters... bombing exploding, or the writing on a bomb. I'll give you a hint, if I was an Iraqi, the only writing on a bomb casing that would concern me is the model number on the casing (if they put them there), since that affects the accuracy and damage potential of the bomb. Would you also be complaining if it read "eat sh!t and die, you Ba'ath mother****er!", on the basis that "it implies all Ba'ath Party members have inappropriate sexual relationships with their mothers"?

Obviously the point is lost on you. It doesn't matter what conflict their from, the point is what was written on the bombs that were to be dropped on Muslims, it is irrelevant whether they are from Afghanistan or Iraq. Can you imagine the outrage if photos were discovered showing Arab troops writing "Suck on this for Yom Kippur" on bombs dropped during that war? It's the principle of the matter. We keep calling ourselves the "moral authority" of the world, maybe it's time we start acting that way. You can begin by accepting the fact that what was written was wrong. Period.

I wouldnt care about that, either. I doubt anyone would care. And if I saw a picture of Iraqi mortar rounds with "Happy Easter, you capitalist American pig-dogs!" (though, the writing would have to be friggin small), I wouldnt care about that, either. Honestly. Wouldnt affect me in the slightest. In no way would I see it as an iunsult to all of Christianity. You'd have to have a skin the thickness of a hippies's brain to be insulted by that. Did you also try to get dodgeball banned in your grade school b/c its too aggressive, and "tag" banned because "the child who is 'it' might feel isolated"?

Just to clarify, I was not implying you have to conservative to be patriotic, I was saying that a lot of conservatives tend to be blindly patriotic.

By assuming that he was a blind patriot because he backs his country, you pointed out that liberals are prejudice and draw on stereotypes.

Since you called him a conservative, because he backs his country, a patriot, I am more happy to be in the party you have to be a patriot to be in. <==dont take that as an insult tripleshot, i mean that conservatives are looked as more patrotic from the majority of the left and i'm not implying that the left is less patriotic than the right. just like to point that out

Those bomb pictures are not even related to this war.... They are from Afghanistan when we bombed the slimebag Talibanners during Rhamadan

So that makes it ok?

I guess all soldiers are supposed to abide by the code of the Ninja or something??


The taliban were hiding Bin Laden and did all they could to aid him in the killing of 3000+ Americans...


If soldiers were as educated and polite as you want them to be then there wouldn't be any.

That says a lot about our armed forces then, doesn't it?

No he was implying what it says about you, and your statement confirms his assumption--you have little respect for the military.

I'd just like to point out that our soldiers were not given the rights of the geneva confention in Iraq or Afganistan. But where are the pictures of this violation of the rules of war done onto Americans.

Christ you call what they do racisim and all other types of expressions to make this seem to be the sign of armageddon. They write on the bombs to make what they do more humane. And this was during a holy month so using the holiday is just as common as the US airmen writing "Merry Christmas Hitler" during winter in WWII, but you don't see that connection. You assume that since they said one derogratory thing the would is going to come to an end and the soldiers are all members of the klan. This either means you are looking for racism in the military because you know it doesnt exsist (many muslims are in the US military and they have their religious leaders, their equivilant to priests, in the military) or you are too stupid to see the site for what it is--propaganda.

Also this site just shows that the person went out of their way to make what the american airmen did inhmane, otherwise why would there be pictures of injured civilians. This site must have studied hitler's techniqes on propaganda. Of course propaganda only works on the simple minded, hitler said something to that effect. (I'm only using hitler's idea of propaganda because he was a master of propaganda and understood its power to affect the ignorant masses.)

But this also shows you that the left's argument--propaganda--that this is a race war and a war on muslims is just BS if this is the best facts they got. Think about it.

Forget this thread. You people are just not going to get my point and are going to keep diverting and flipping arguments till the end of time. I don't agree with your point, you don't agree with mine. We're not going to convince each other so let's leave it at that. Been a pleasure wasting time with you guys. Cheers.

yes they do and anyone who doesnt see that are blind or stupid.
For example:
1.) Most liberals say that the people in the military are the stupidest people in America; however, many jobs in the military require the brightest and best America has to offer.
2.) And that ever conservative is a blind patriot.
3.) If president bush decides to attack iraq it's imperialism, whereas, when clinton attacked iraq where was the outcry.
4.) If your a conservative your a nazi.
5.) If your a black republican your a "house ni@@er" and thats what black people call them.
Now if those not a stereotypes, what is yowolabi? These are all the stereotypes i have on me just because im a republican in college (except #5 because i'm white). And almost every day there is a new poster compairing a republican to a nazi on campus.
