American! And proud of it! You?
Somebody who holds more weight on opinions than General Patreaus or plenty of military members across the branches?
So all Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Air Force think exactly the same as you? No said they had more knowledge than General Petreaus, that is a strawman argument.
Somebody who has a clue about the culture of our enemy?
More than I would like due to them starting this war.
Somebody who trumps the cultural experts who study this enemy almost daily?
Such as whom? Or is this like an Obama argument, just throw out a high percentage without naming any?
Our (my) enemy designs their behaviors around excuses.
And mine around the cowardice of appeasement.
And they force compliance through threat.
Burning a bunch of Qur'ans on international television may bring joy to a bunch of backwood ignorant Christian hicks, but it will be yet another excuse for plenty to take up arms and join the fight against our troops who are seen as representing these book burners.
Those 'backwoods ignorant Christian hicks' as you so kindly put it, are the Mom's, Dad's, brothers, sisters, friends, Husband's and Wives of those serving with you, and their right to burn the book should be what you are defending just as much as you are defending the Islamic world here. Your disdain for your fellow countrymen speaks volumes Sarge.
It is not only unproffessional and disrespectful to the wider core of our Muslim support, but it inflames an already pissed off enemy who seeks the next excuse to legitmize his "defense."
And what will be the silly excuse they use next week?
Yes.
They got caught by the enemy in a combat zone and paid the price.
That is a disgusting statement about people over there trying to do no more than help.
Paganistic Qur'an burning on U.S. soil is feul and will see great recruitment throughout the region just on that unnecessary fact.
Maybe you are in the wrong business if you are that scared.
Such activity is forbidden inside the military, especially in these foreign lands, for a very specific reason.
The Pastor is not a military chaplain as far as I know, so your observation means little.
It is not only unproffessional and disrespectful to the wider core of our Muslim support, but it inflames an already pissed off enemy who seeks the next excuse to legitmize his "defense."
And when is it that you see disrespect to the wider core of our relations? Hmmmm? Building a Mosque of Conquest, then issuing a threat when confronted in an interview? Does that get your Marine hackles up?
And make no mistake. It is as paganistic as any ancient ritual designed to display just how far the faithful will go to defend God or to condemn an enemy of God.
Do you believe in God?
These American ****s are no different from the 9/11 terrorists.
Really? You're offensive, and I would ask you to state why you would say such an untrue, inflammatory thing?
They just haven't been pushed as far.
So your sympathy's lay with Islam do they?
You want a war with all of Islam?
it is Muslims that waged war with the US in the name of Islam.
Start burning the Qur'an as a stupid excuse to celebrate pathetic unearned rights.
pathetic, and unearned rights? You are a poser. NOT ONE MARINE I KNOW would EVER show such disdain for the constitution as you do. So you have outed yourself, and just another internet wannabe.
Of course, my kind will do the dying for such trifle and unnecessary activities so what do the righteous safe at home in front of their religious camp fires care.
Nonsense, "Your kind" will pop open another bag of popcorn, and flip in a good war movie, and fantasize about being that which you can never be. A Marine.
