The Hitlerly coercion photo

Page 2 - Seeking answers? Join the AnandTech community: where nearly half-a-million members share solutions and discuss the latest tech.
So this article is (re-)revealing a "secret" hand signal is "used by POW’s as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video"?

I understand that this information was revealed "nearly a decade ago," but ISIS probably wasn't paying much attention back then. I'm sure that repeating this information in 2015 will be of no use to ISIS going forward when it sets up video-ops with captured American soldiers.

But when you have the opportunity to attack Hillary, who gives a fvck if soldiers may die as a consequence?

Looks to me like it is when making a deal, lying as a kid, doing that means it's not true. I doubt he knew that was the POW sign for coercion. So shaking her hand as if in giving support, he was not actually supporting her. Calling him garbage and scum is pretty funny.

Pretty common knowledge no?

Military members showing public disrespect to elected officials is extremely unprofessional. I mean in the end it's not much of a big deal, but it definitely makes this guy look bad. He should have known better.
 
Such a shame to see the conceit of the CBD slime the honor of the US Military to make a childish personal point. Just a small minded little traitor to traditional American values of respect.

Respect?!? Righties gotcher respect swingin' in their trousers. If yours isn't bigger, you'll get no respect. That's why they worship Dick Cheney.

I'll hurl that word at DCal430 and CitizenCain all day long. The degree of anger at a soldier crossing his fingers is unwarranted. But hey, maybe they prefer to be called "progressives"? It's much more efficient to type Marxist. Fewer letters, less time wasted, same meaning.

Disagree. Not all Marxists are hateful authoritarian assholes like progressives. Some are just harmless hippies.

I find this amusing as I had always suspected it was Photoshopped. And I have no major problem with it - as a Senator, she was not in his chain of command. Nonetheless, I'm somewhat torn. If this picture was a Hillary publicity event, then fine, I applaud him for making his feelings known. If it was a picture taken by his friends that only later went viral, then shame on him, since she was visiting the troops she sent to war and not overtly trying to make political hay out of him. Either way it's hardly a major issue.

Yeh, progressives are *so* hateful about immigrants, gays, minorities, women & children. Not like the followers of the Trumpster who are all sweetness & light.

Interesting that you would indirectly indict Trump's followers over "hateful about immigrants, gays, minorities, women & children" when he has exactly one issue even touching those groups - illegal immigration. Table reference issue?

You know, 404 is a perfectly reasonable response when applicable. Just saying.

"Dumbest" meaning "most resistant to our ultra-liberal beliefs and thought patterns".

To reject your ideas based on factual and widely-observed evidence is "stupidity"? Wow... the sun's going to hurt your eyes when you take those rose glasses off.

No I'm pretty sure he just meant the dumbest in general regardless of what your political leaning is. It's certainly the same list I would have come up with and there are quite a few people on this board who are pretty resistant to liberal views who wouldn't be in it.

But by all means tell yourself what ever you want, it's not like stupid people know they are stupid.

Well since you claim to be qualified, tell me why.

Tell everyone. Here and now.

Tell you what? How if I made a list it would be exactly the same list he created? I already did, thanks for proving my point😉

Except you didn't back up your claim with anything other than "we say so, so we win".

No effort, no reward. :thumbsdown:

I would say the proof is in literally every post any of the 4 listed have ever made. Though michal1980 and John Connor seem to be the "smearing the walls with their own shit" level of crazy stupid while you and boomerang are more of a just assholes stupid.

...which brings me right back to my original assertion - that you think I'm stupid not for a lack of understanding or intelligence, but merely because I staunchly and stubbornly refuse to accept your extreme-liberal views.

The pay gap makes a fine example for now - the super-lib-SJW types all argue it exists and it's monstrous. I refuse to accept it because every financial expert also refuses to and debunks it on a regular basis.

If your belief can't hold up under scrutiny, I won't accept it.

If you try to change laws and policies to FIT your erroneous belief, I will actively resist it.
 
.. who really gives a shit? Or are we just continuing to circulate righty email chains? Can't wait to see all the RAEG when Hillary becomes our next president (unless the GOP actually wises up and stops doubling down on stupidity).

Please. We both know that Trumpism is a manifestation of the same headset that booed John McCain at his concession speech & sees Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly & similar as purveyors of truth & wisdom. It's a disease with a broad range of symptoms.
 
The solider unfortunately is disgracing the uniform he's wearing. The US military serves the civilian elected government and is bound to give the office the respect it's due, not the person.

Whether it's the office of the President or of Congress, disrespect by the armed forces while on duty is unacceptable.

Unfortunately the days of "respect the office, not the man" have been over for quite some time.
