what would your reaction be, zoinks?
also, i find it ironic that you have an american flag as your avatar, yet you have such skewed views of the war.
Sir, if I do not support the war, that doesnt mean that I am not an American. Just because I do not agree with my lead politicians goals and ambitions doesnt mean that I do not love this country.
I believe that you are thinking the wrong side up.
I believe its this comment that makes you seem unamerican. But it really depends on how its interpreted.
"You guys are all fvcking sick to applaud any kind of loss of life, be it ours or the Iraqis.
To me its all kind of sad whats going on. "
In one way, it could be interpreted as you basicly thinking. "I wish the Americans did not kill that guy that hah an RPG pointed at them. They should have let him live so he could have lived happily ever after"
(though we all know that if they gave that bastard 5 more seconds, it would have been american bodies on the ground, and not his)
That mindset is very anti-American IMO.
though it could (and IMO should) be interpreted as saying, War is bad, I wish the Americans could be home and not having to put up with terrible $h!t such as nutjobs with RPGs pointed at them. I also wish those people would live their own lives, and that a peaceful resolution could be reached"
That is a very honorable opinion, and will I respect it (If you meant something like that)
His post (and whole point) is not about americans vs iraqis, or anything about the circumstances of what is going on over there, or even the specifics of what happened in the video. He's disappointed with the attitude people on this board have of taking pleasure in the death of a human. Whether it's a serial killer, an RPG carrying insurgent fighting your country, or a school kid, it's wrong to take pleasure in the death of a person.
