Something you don't see everyday... with pic!

A black soldier fighting in Iraq... wearing a kilt... playing a bagpipe... in Iraq...

(not a insult, just doesn't fit the image of the sterotypical fat white Scottish bagpiper)

 

[loup garou]

Farr brought the Scottish wind instrument on deployment to wartorn Iraq to bolster the morale of his troops

I'm sure they're grateful.

 

[GasX]

That only boosts morale for the Scotsmen. Everyone else just thinks he is stepping on a cat.

... Scottish Wind Instrument...

Wouldn't that be a can of beans?

 

[DrNoobie]

Bagpipes are the best sounding instrument in the world. From no other can you have lively jigs or a mournful funeral song.

 

[Drakkon]

okay the black is a little wierd, but i give him props. I can't think of anything more inspriational on the battlefield than bagpipe music...
but i dont agree with ur stereotype....most bagpipers i know aren't fat at all actually since they have to have a lot of lung capacity and thus in pretty decent shape...

The world's full of bias, get over it.

And not all Scots like the bagpipes.

And I do love haggis, and Shepard's Pie.

Uhhhh...fiddle/violin? Piano? Accordian? Clarinet? Heck, any damn instrument that's played correctly!

 

[skace]

Bagpipes are awesome... when played correctly and in a wide open area.

What does his race have to do with ANYTHING? I am SO SICK of everyone making a point to describe the race of whoever is in the news. Jesus, people... :|

 

[sillymofo]

The only tunes that bagpipes sound good on were TAP, and something grace.... What is he trying to say?

If you don't like bagpipes, you need to watch Braveheart, stat!

Does it MATTER to you that he's black? Are you like WOW HE'S BLACK! OMFG!

I'm not screaming racism. I'm screaming perpetuation of the racist instead of completely ignoring race. If everybody would just completely ignore the fact that people have different skin colors, maybe those who are extremely racist will just lay down and die.

Close your eyes. Imagine a bunch of men in Kilts and blue face paint in hand to hand combat with a medievel English army. How many of those men are black?

I have had haggis twice in my life.

The first time was the end of my first night in Edinburgh after being up for almost 36 hours straight the last 12 of which were spent drinking with the University rugby team. It was AWESOME!

The second time was a few days later when I was sober. It was AWFUL! :Q

yea, cause youre too busy harrassing people about what prep school they go to. so noble for you to take up the fight of racism, when whats really important is what school you attend.

Taps is meant to be played on a bugle and doesn't sound right (to me) played on any other instrument.

It's a visual non-sequitor you self-righteous half-wit

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Nice choice. If you want to whip men into a killing frenzy, bagpipes are the perfect tool for the job.

 

[Red Dawn]

Didn't the Scotts/Brits use Bagpipes to scare the hell out of their enemy?
