I never got that one. What does it mean?

haji : 1: Arabic word for someone who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca; 2: used by the American military for an Iraqi, anyone of arab decent, or even of a brownish skin tone, be they afghanis, or even bangladeshis; 3: the word many soldiers use derogatorily for the enemy.

The US Military isn't the all-white force that everyone always bitches about (with all that crusader crap thrown in) anyway. So yeah I don't think anyone actually means all the stuff they say.

The things I'm trying to bring up here are why are we dehumanizing the "enemy" so badly? Ok, maybe it's to make soldiers feel less bad about having shot up someone's dad after he drew a weapon to defend his family from intruders.
Answered your own question.


Also, you brought it on by knifing him. Could of just shot him, everyone knows knifing in COD4 is pointless as you don't need to get it out, you just press a key. Joking. But not really.

Also when you join the Army I would imagine you have some sort of mindset that allows you to be able to shoot people. Personally If there was no chance of a war coming when I join the Army I wouldn't join. Who wants to be sat in a barracks training all their service?

Of course I don't know for myself yet, Slinger does, and maybe some others.

I'm a soldier, and to be honest I don't really think I have the mindset to shoot people. If someone is trying to kill me I will shoot back of course, but I don't like the idea of actually firing my weapon at a person at all. I hope I will never have to.

Actually, I did. There are certain values in being in the infantry. I'm sure I don't have to tell you. Why do you assume that just because I don't have a murderous craving for killing people I don't want to be a soldier? As I see it, being a soldier is not about shooting people. At least that's what I believe.

You know when PR came out with the new build that had Insurgents + Suicide Bombers. I and alot of other respectable PR guys were acting worse than Sadr himself, and don't worry, we played the USMC counterpart just as well. It's all fun and games.

I might make a Bin Laden account when I get finally CoD4 for myself (fixed my PC yay). Or a Saddam one with the Golden AK, no perks, just the Golden AK and alot of Allah-damned willpower.

Possibilities are endless

We are primarily a peacekeeping force. At least that's how we like to think of ourselves. I do not like to think of myself as a mercenary hired by the government, but rather someone who defends peace -- if necessary by force, but not preferably.

EDIT:

We do not have the draft. I signed up voluntarily.

defending peace by using peaceful weapons?  firing peaceful bullets? peaceful bayonets?  I know, theyre dull.

why would you even think of yourself as a mercenary.  do you not know what a mercenary is?  My friend, I could tell that you are young and that you have much to learn..  You are a grunt though, just as I was (still am technically), so I respect that.

Wasn't Haji Johnny Quests partner? Anyways I saw a CS spray of a guy getting shot in the face it looked like a Guierilla Warfare guy and a White guy, the Guierilla Warfare guy had the gun. I really didn't like the spray at all, tbh it really creeped me out I kept thinking why would you take a picture of someones death.  I can see shooting back if your getting shot at, but not shooting people to get enjoyment out of it, that guy was trying to sound like a badass but he sounded like a fool to me.
