The Bible isn't any better.  I'm Christian and I'll go ahead and tell ya.  It is full of murder, warfare, destruction of the infidel (Muslims, Hindu, Atheist), and sex.  In fact there are specific chapters that refer to God telling the Hebrews to destroy the Muslims.  They're all the sons of Abraham, but they were told to destroy the other tribes.  The only difference is in what century the offensive is taking place.  Christians used around the 1300's to try and take back Jerusalim in the Cursades and ended up losing a lot of Spain to the Moors for a while.  The entire picture has been reversed now.

planting IED's take guts?  I whole heartedely disagree with this statement.  needs more cow bell.
the truth is, these fuckers never stand up and fight.  its always ambush and 10 minute firefight and they disappear

I'm not defending these guys but what do you expect?  Are they gunna call in close air support and light armor?  they fight with what they've got.  AK's and old ordinance that they can rig up.  Guerilla warfare is the only tactic these little bastards can employ to stay alive and accomplish anything.

they could not fight. they choose to die.  dont feel bad for a soldier.  soldiers are meant for dying so people could debate the extinguishing of their life on the internet.  these are people that arent committed by a contract to the gov't.  they put their weapons down just as easily as they pick em up. o ne they theyre waving, next day theyre shooting.  they choose to be a part of that fight.  millions of other iraqis dont.

then i guess war sucks.  and is often not fair for either side.

Louis, even though I rarely take part in D&ST, I can atleast say that you're not ready for this talk.

I can note you down as ignorant right now, but it's clear that you obviously don't mean your biased and well, arrogant talk with little understanding, even though you seem to follow it fully.

...Who am I to say this, but in my book, you're not fit..

I have understanding....and that should be a jackass not a llama(that would be a good fit)

So your comparing a war in a (relatively) small, sparsely populated nation to the casualties in one of the most widespread wars in history?
