Soldier removed from the war

[cairns]

5,000 new insurgents/terrorists are created
50,000 on-the-fence Iraqi's now hate America
500,000 Iraqi's who like America are now on the fence

That said, I understand the concept of kissing the Koran...we are in their home. it was an attempt to have only:

500 new insurgents/terrorists created
5,000 on-the-fence Iraqi's now hate America
50,000 Iraqi's who like America are now on the fence

I see Mule beat me to it but I'll ask anyway- where do you get your statistics?

Yeah, that's why I said that unfortunately they were willing to die for their delusion. It boggles the mind that people are primitive enough to be willing to kill other people and die themselves for what is nothing more than an emotional belief. Appalling. Imagine a Scientologist coming up to you and threatening to kill you if you said you did not believe in Xenu. It's just silly. It's hard to believe these people can even say "72 virgins" with a straight face.

Well, I'm glad you asked since Mule is on ignore (yes, I think ignore is lame too, but there's only so much misguided, ignorant hate one can take). I'm not sure why he responds to my posts. go figure.

To answer your question, the stats were for illustrative purposes only. the clue to you would have been the very obvious round numbers and basic multiples. I think you understand that they aren't real stats, rather just a succession of degrees used to illustrate a point.

I'm sorry if you thought they were real statistics. Next time I'll put an asterisk and note that these numbers are not actual statistics, but should be used only in considering my point. Feel free to challenge my point or the numbers used to illustrate it in the future.

I hope this clears the issue up for you.

Why didn't you just say you pulled them out of your ass?

It may be unpleasant for some you hawkish types to see an officer kissing a Quran, but it strikes me a responsive management move. We have been sorely lacking in that department.

I want to see GWB and Cheney kiss the US Constitution.

Shaun didn't want to draw undue attention to his ass in light of some people's vigorous participation in the same sex marriage thread.

[Mule]

I shoulda guessed!

"Shaun didn't want to draw undue attention to his ass in light of some people's vigorous participation in the same sex marriage thread."

Too funny.

A lot of us want to see you wake up and stop posting drivel. Go back and get to work on the hydrofoil...

[futuresoptions]

I guess what upsets me about this one, is that one of our guys got in TROUBLE for shooting a "BooK", and then the officers that represent our military would bend over backwards to prove a point. I think there a darker ramifications to both actions that haven't been touched on this thread.... no one has hit on them yet..... OMG I am turning into Tabs..... bring out the hookers and cigars.....

[livi]

It was dumb shiit like this that went a long way toward making me decide to get out when i did too. I hate when PC/Politics/native sensibilities are placed ahead of the mental well being of our troops. Clearly the soldier in question was merely trying to blow off some steam/anger/frustration at the range.

Clearly we need to keep that shiit pent up inside instead, so that our troops instead snap and go postal when they get back to the US...

OKay, we are getting warmer.... I will give this analogy.......

It's May 1945 and the headlines read the following......


Soldier is removed from front lines due to putting 14 rounds into a copy of Mein Kompf...

Officers of the 101st airborne present a new copy of Mein Kompf to the German delegation in Berlin, officer kisses copy of Mein Kompf before handing book to the delegation.


I hate to go back in time to make a comparison, when the circumstances are truly different, but at the same time I do not think it is only the American as an individual that has lost touch with who we are.... I think the military has too.... sad to say.....

If your analogy were true, then you'd have to first admit that we are, indeed, in a war against Islam. No one in WWII ever said we weren't trying to eradicate Naziism. That's not the case with Islam and Iraq.

[Mule]

I admit it. We're at war with islam!

Right after they get done kissing my ass.

[svandamme]

hmmm, do i hear the sound of thousands of koran's being shot up in bulk...coming from the far south east???

[craigster59]

Shoot up the Koran, and you get shipped out of Iraq..

Easier than wearing stilletto pumps in the desert a'la "Klinger"..

there's a greater chance they'd kiss each other in a Larry Craig 3-way.
