    translation: "I can't back up anything that's said in the article but I posted it anyway just to bash people against the war".

    Actually, more like "I'm not going to bother with a bunch of moonbats."

    If your purpose is not to convert moonbats/chicksh!ts/libpigs to warmongers, then what is it?

    Everytime I see those images it makes me so damn sad.

    I think I am going to start a thread in the hangout asking for dating advice. Then the beauty will be when everybody gives me suggestions I will go - "yoinks - I am married and I don't need advice from a bunch of single losers!" That would make me feel super, no, hyper-cool.

    Is a Vietnam sin drone a pilotless aircraft made in Vietnam that flies around doing bad things? Is that what that PoS movie Stealth was about?

    It is funny that the same groups that point out all of the negative things that a tiny minority of our troops do in Iraq are the same groups that get up in arms about the people that point out all of the negative things that a tiny minority of Muslims do around the world.

    Is it really? I hold our troops and our nation to higher standards than militant islamist psychopaths, it is one the reasons why I am proud to live here.

    I don't think that's very funny, either funny ha ha or funny strange.

    Yep.

    Of course, in sheer numbers, there is a huge difference. We have about 1.2 million folks in our armed forces (I should probably check that). On the other hand, there are a billion Muslims. A tiny percentage of a billion is a lot.

    It's neither funny nor accurate.

    9/11 was horrible. It was perpetrated by a tiny minority of Muslims.

    Abu Ghraib and Haditha were also horrible. They were perpetrated by a tiny minority of American military personnel.

    The difference here is that all Americans are up in arms about 9/11, even if we don't agree on a proper response to it. We all point out the horrible crime against America and humanity and demonize the perpetrators. But in this case, many want to blame all of Islam and take action against the entire religion.

    Where the actions of renegade criminals in the American military are pointed out, one side says these things are horrible and the perpetrators should be punished and the other side says those actions were either not that big a deal or were understandable or even the right thing to do, and that even mentioning these crimes is anti-American. No one I know (and certainly no one on this board) has suggested that those actions reflect the military in general (even if many have pointed out the horrible nature of war) and no one I know has suggested that they prove the military is bad. We get accused of it all the time, but it isn't true.

    This is a bogus comparison.

    Nope, but a tiny percentage of a billion is quite a nember of people, no?
