I don't see it as a bad thing. Ever see those old WW2 movies where GI's talk about scoring hits and fragging krauts.
I don't see it as a big deal. I understand what he's saying. They're not fighting an army. They're fighting insurgents, who hide 99% of the time, and then attack in unsuspecting times. Killing them is probably a relief. They're like pests.
I think the army's comments and crimes should stay within the army.
Wow Jordan, you must have kept all that ignorance inside you for a week and then taken some laxatives in order to spew it all out at once...
Consider what else we were doing during WW2: Herding "Japs" into concentration camps? Throwing rocks through the windows of people who were named "Herman"? Come on man!
They're fighting the people of Iraq. Are you trying to insinuate that the guerillas are cowards because they don't stand up and wave flags so we can bomb them to death? Pests? This post is so ignorant it actually makes me sick.
Jordan, that is STUPID. You know what I think is cowardly? I think its bloody cowardly to go to a poor desert nation and commit genocide on innocent people using a highly mechanized army airforce and navy. We have tanks, jet planes, helicopter gunships, bombs that are nearly as powerful as nuclear weapons, huge battleships, and 125 thousand storm troopers.
The Iraqi guerillas have a few Kalashnikovs and RPGs. Our troops have hospitals, bopdy armor, tanks to hide in, concrete bunkers, satellite communications and plenty of food and water. The guerillas? They drink whatever filthy liquid they can find and subsist on barely enough to keep themselves going. If you think that people fighting against the most powerful nation on earth are cowards, than you can go straight to hell sir.
And as for your assertions that the military's crimes should remain hidden, I don't even need to comment on that. Be glad that that excuse for rational thought is well hidden. For your sake I hope few find it so that they can maintain respect for you.
