Photos show U.S. GIs posing with dead Afghans[W:1146]

I'm confident that its a violation of the the military code of conduct to take pictures posing with the dead ripped apart bodies of your enemy.

or should we lend a blind eye to such behavior? maybe keep quiet when our soldiers kill dozens of civilians as well huh?

Don't worry though, nobody is going to get away with anything. Unlike your sissy like civilian courts. They will be tried by a jury of their peers, hopefully combat vets. If guilty in their eyes, they will not get off on a bull**** technicality.

um.....just because a nation's official language is Tagalog doesn't means millions of folks don't use Spanish.

You mentioned before being a "taxpayer", for the record, let me tell you what you get for your money, IMO. It means you get to decide how much, the GIs get paid every month, what kind of crap gear he gets, and when and where he gets sent.

It does not buy you the right to judge their actions in combat after your elected representatives deploy him. We reserve that right for ourselves.

It cannot be bought, only earned.

The only thing I have to say to them is I wish, the best possible outcome

Again, you are way out of lane

Go bake some cookies or water the lawn

Have a nice day

I believe in Freedom of Speech, and that includes the right to condemn disgusting behavior by our soldiers.

I shall continue to do so until its illegal.

many Phillipinos speak Spanish. They qualify as Hispanic. Nevermind the tens of millions of native peoples in South & Central America, who speak Spanish. They too.....qualify as Hispanic..and are racially Asian.

case closed.

so if i speak spanish that makes me hispanic????????

since only 3 million in the phillipines speak spanish and it is not their primary or even secondary language,therefore they are not.

there are more non hispanics who speak spanish in america,do we get to claim they are all hispanic now?

you don't grasp the definition of "Hispanic".
 
Killing on a battle field and mocking the dead and posing dead bodies for pictures are completely different things. There are lines you just dont cross on the battlefield, and especially not well after a battle. I expect these soldiers, who are there representing America. How would any of you like it if you son, brother, father or friend died in Afghanistan and a bunch of people there held up his remains in an effort to mock his death? How about if you mom or wife died and some iraqis took pictures tea bagging her? You gonna shrug it off like oh well its fine. my mom deserve to be violated in death.


When you have to expand the situation into some rabbit-hole realm of fantasy ... you lose.


Your post is a god damn disgrace. Shame on you <spit>
 
you don't grasp the definition of "Hispanic".

well the definition says spanish speaking and spanish influence,only 3 million out of 94 million speak it.

does all of texas count as hispanic,they are spanish influence too?
 
So tell me what you think of Romney and his 5 sons who have never served one day?

That they have no basis on which to condemn these soldiers. A measured response where they can criticize is fine. But not condemn.
 
There is a lot to see in it and I think everyone should see it often if they are paying for it. We have had over ten years of this in Afghanistan, lets get this out and let everyone decide if it is what we want to pay for.

View attachment 67126098

if by "what I want to pay for" you mean "dead Taliban", then yeah, um, duh? we are at war.



I will admit to being continually amazed at the number of people in America who seem thick enough to have failed to grasp that rather basic concept.
 
who ruled the Phillipines from 1565 till 1898?

Spain.

case closed.

we took it over from Spain after the Spanish American war and ruled it until the 1940's.

Obviously, they are Anglo-Saxon.
 
Thunder, why do you consider taking pictures of dead afghans to be , in your words " disgusting"?

why is it so different for a soldier to take a picture over a photojournalist taking a picture?


I do think you have the right to criticize what you may see as "disgusting behavior"... but i would think it best to gain some sort of understanding of the issue before doing so.... and to be quite honest, you can't have that type of understanding while you are sitting comfortably in the States sippin' mocha lattes.

I think instead of airing your opinion (without understanding), it would be best to offer a reasonable opinion that isn't going too far in the judgmental department.

i find it odd that there has been no mention, by those who are after these soldiers heads, of the fact that these dead afghans were suicide bombers... they were actively engaged in actions meant to kill our soldiers and innocent civilians.... these are the people you are effectively standing up for.( but most assuredly not supporting).
personally, i'm not disgusted by the reality of war.. been there, done that, got the scars...... i'm desensitized to such things.
while i understand it's not " normal" or even preferable.. but i don't care if these boys piss all over these dead suicide bombers, cover them with pig fat, and light them on fire and take home movies of it.... now, i wouldn't suggest that such behavior should be condoned or accepted, i'm just sayin' it doesn't bug me.

just try to understand that your sense of decency is vastly different from a dude who is over there dealing with the blood, guts and body parts... judging him on your standards is not right.
 
if by "what I want to pay for" you mean "dead Taliban", then yeah, um, duh? we are at war.

well, lots of folks don't want to think that war means death,killing blood, guts and gore...., they'd rather believe we are over there yelling " pew pew" at bad guys and then the bad guys give up and go home.... they don't want the reality, they want the rated PG version.
 
Asians can be Hispanic.

im still not getting how philipinos in general can be qualified as hispanic when a little more than 3% of the population speaks spanish and they have very little spanish heritage compared to any other country spain had occupied.

if you wanted to be clever you would have brought up asian latin americans who live in central american countries like brazil and immigrated there during spains heyday of influence on asia.
 
the fact is, Philipinos qualify as being categorized as Hispanic, due to them being a former Spanish colony.

wanna say that again thunder?
