"Long, dark months of trials and tribulations lie before us. Not only great dangers, but many more misfortunes, many shortcomings, many mistakes, many disappointments will surely be our lot. Death and sorrow will be the companions of our journey, hardship our garment, consistency and valor our only shield. We must be united, we must stand undaunted, we must be inflexible." --Winston Churchill, October 8, 1940

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Will anyone actually miss him? Good riddance I say. |

Everyone is somebody's son or daughter, so yes, someone will miss him. But nobody over here will. |

Not entirely true. Many Middle Easterners kill their children and wives over trivial matters. they do not have the same regard for life and self preservation as us civilized species. |

"But, as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12 Not all are His children... But, on a side note...Won't the soldier be in trouble for mowing down unarmed people? What are the ROE? Is dancing on a vehicle a capital (or is it capitol?) offense? It should be...Just like when the Pali's throw rocks at the Israeli soldiers... I'm a firm believer of what I see in the pics, don't get me wrong..But, that question about the Rules of Engagement popped up in my head and I thought I would ask... |

Andy where did you get your signature or quote from? |

I'm impressed by the street being properly designed to carry water (and blood in this case) to the curb.

YAAAAAAAAAAY ,DEAD BAD GUYS!!!!!! Much rather see them than dead good guys!
|

Well, call me inhumane, but it doesn't bother me in the least bit. I've got friends over there that risk their lives to help those people. |

Pfffft...
It looks like hajii lost the Dance Dance Revolution tournament. No pity for any of those people. If you ask me, they got off easy; some of them actually survived. An infantry company sweeping across that objective would have left NO survivors. |

I think that any sentiment of sadness or pity for a bunch of fucking Towel Heads that were celebrating the destory and possible killing of U.S. Troops is weakness. Those bastards tried to kill the men inside and don't tell me that the "by-standers" were so naive (in a war zone) as to hang around after a U.S. vehicle had been destroyed. They were there because they were ready for there "10 seconds in the sun"... they were proud that they had destroyed an American vehicle.
So I say too fucking bad that they got fucked up when the SHTF. More power to the soldiers that did that.... it's a lesson that we will not be toyed with. Those individuals were not the "bulk" of Iraq, they were just a group of dissident insurgents trying to be a "mouse that roared". They got fucked up... I don't feel too bad about it. Maybe they received the message. |

Thanks Andy |

As far as ROE goes, the vehicles contain controlled pieces of cryptographic devices. Those can't be lost to anyone outside our forces. They have to be destroyed ASAP if its lost. The folks dancing and celebrating just happened to be there when we destroyed OUR equiptment.
|
|
They like to blow our guys up with IEDs/suicide bombers. See how they like it.
|
|
They got what was comin... we don't dance on their blown up shit...
We do, however, love the pics! - BG |

It's a send up of the Koran… I thought it was pretty cool… "Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace." www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran.asp ANdy |

Maybe a handful of them were innocent, but like my father always told me-
Guilt By Association !!!! |
|
Those people are so stupid, they can't seem to figure out that the sooner there is peace, the sooner the "occupiers" will be gone. If they would simply worry about rebuilding their country and help flush out the terrorists, the evil foreigners would be out in no time. All this violence is brought on by themselves. I feel no pity for them.
|
|
This would be the logical thing to do but there are those who don't want the US to be able to leave. They want to fight because they actually believe they can win. If Iraq falls into the hands of the Islma-faciasts then they will have won. |
|
|
That quote from the Qu'ran or Koran is incorrect. I looked it up because I had seen that in many places and it is found no where in 9:11 nor anywhere else in the Koran.

If they pickup a weapon they become fucking targets. just becuase there isn't any weapons in the photo doesn't mean there wasn't minutes before hand. Also they do not care for peace. The insurgents mainly are from other countries that came to fight US they could give a damn about the civ's in iraq. The Sumartra raid was proof. A good number of the captured are from Egypt and Somolia. These are alqieda the do not care about the value of the peoples lives and will perpulosly put them in the cross fire for the arab media. |

I KNOW!!!!!… as I posted (with a link to snopes.com)…it's a 'send up', a 'joke', a 'spoof' … ANdy |

WOW!! This is the best damn thread I've seen in a long time. I'm tired of sorting thru crap about faggots & dogs pissing on the neighbor's roses. This is what the hell OUR KIDS OR PERHAPS YOU, YOURSELF FACES EVERY DAY!!!
Have you softies forgotten 9/11? Go to the 9/11 memorial pages and "refresh " your memory. The damn Trade Ctr almost killed my Buddies sister when it fell. I work with a guy who then had just moved to Phx. from NYC. His wife had been burned oner 22% of her body. It would have been her last week of work prior moving to Phx. My nephew's best friend aboard the USS. Shreeveport transfered to the Pentagon (nephew went to Great Lakes) was killed there. A guy I knew( a sports car road racer friend) went down on the plane in Pa. IT'S TOO CLOSE FOR ME. My son's best friend was just discharged from the Marines after serving 4 years. He did the Liberation of Iraq & 2 more tours there. The last one in , please forgive the spelling, Falluja. He said the first guy he killed there, all he could see in his mind was the image of the Towers falling. They appeared on the sides of his front sight. 3 rounds later, one dead Hadji & he thought "PAY BACKS A BITCH, MOUTHERFUCKER"! On his last tour there, he had 4 Hummvves blown out from under him. Came home without a scratch. Yep, those are mighty good photos to me. You have to stand up & fight for what you believe in. I'm an old guy now. I'm Viet Nam era. I'd Still like to get me some of those fucks. |

yep your wrong, or maybe you just need to realize something............... WE AIN'T FRANCE so put down the cheese! |
