I saw this, laughed and had to share.

We had that on the chicken plate of one of our M1114s in A-stan. Big letters.

They obviously didn't get it.

That looks like the original.

I've seen that pic doctored like 50 times.

eh, because I don't find it particularly funny when people are dying. no matter the side of the coin they fall on.

if those kids were white and american, and that soldier was an iraqi, it may provoke different thoughts internally.

*shrug*

I didn't think the orginial picture was funny either, for that matter. Sorry.

ziadel

so I should hold off on posting those vids of them machine-gunning that school?


try to keep in mind where you are man


like my little brother always says, "war is a bitch"

I understand your position and respect it.

Had this soldier actually done said deeds to the kid's family it would have been unquestionably offensive to me, too. However, I would agree that the humor is rather mean spirited ...

... I feel as badly about laughing at "ethnic" jokes, too. But I still laugh privately.
