I look at those pictures and think of all those poor kids that will never get to know what bacon tastes like. The soldiers need to cook bacon in the open out on the streets, that will get the public to reject Islam in the favor of salty yummy goodness by the slice. mmmm, bacon.

Agreed, if you're going to ban one backwards ultra conservative, why not ban the rest. They're all the fucking same.r'Eeee wrote:

No, it only takes a lack of that perspective in the reporting or on the part of the audience to wipe it out.Dilbert_X wrote:
I get it, 99.999% of the troops are doing their best in a bad situation.
Unfortunately it only takes one Haditha or Abu Ghraib to wipe out all the good work.
I see, so shooting up civilians because you're in a bad mood, or torturing and beating people to death is all fine.FEOS wrote:

so a handful of soldiers or marines commit crimes and you wanna put the spotlight on the entire US military. But, when a large amount of nutjobs and radicals do things in the name of islam, you get upset at the amount of muslim bashing?Dilbert_X wrote:

Its just how - or more probably if - its reported that makes the difference?
Exactly, like how only negative stories about Islam make the news and newspapers.FEOS wrote:
Did I say that? No.
I'm talking about how reporting only the bad and ignoring the good (perspective of reporting) affects how the audience views things. If all they hear is bad, they'll think that all that happens is bad...particularly without the perspective you pointed out: that 99.999% of military members serve honorably. Which is a higher percentage than the public at large.
You (or whoever is in that pic) look like that one dude from Grey's Anatomy.

Well there you go, maybe you need to post some happy stories in this forum about Muslims. I'm sure they must do something nice in communities, right? They must have resue missions that help poor of any religion and can food drives and such, right? They don't just send money to Palestine to fund Hamas do they?Braddock wrote:

No I didn't sys thats what SHOULD happen, unfortunately thats exactly what DOES happen.so a handful of soldiers or marines commit crimes and you wanna put the spotlight on the entire US military?

I'm not defending terrorists or soldiers who commit atoricities.but you still would rather defend the car bomber and the suicide vester over the citizen soldier.
Got me there.a lot of you should have been spanked when you were children.
GS, your personal experience is irrelevant to Dilbert. Unless you got your experience in school or on the internet, it's worthless and unusable as a basis of a position that contradicts his.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
who said anything about AQ, I dont have blinders on and Ive got experience dealing with nutjob islamic radicals. the 2 million people in all the US military (if thats even the number) are no where near the amount of fanatic radical muslims that are behind a lot of the world's terrorism or stand by in support of those terrorist actions.
but you still would rather defend the car bomber and the suicide vester over the citizen soldier.

No. I only believe that what I have experienced firsthand can't be disproven by someone who knows fuckall about the subject.Dilbert_X wrote:
No FEOS, YOUR experience is apparently worthless and unusable because you seem to think because you believe something it cannot be disproven.

Heartwarming. US soldiers have done that a lot in the 20th century. On the History Channel a WWII veteran mentioned that him and his platoon gave up their special little thanksgiving meals to give the food to the local people they liberated. This will create a generation of liberal people perhaps, who see all this stuff about suicide bombers blowing themselves up around a US soldier giving candy to little kids.
I'm glad their doing that, and not massacering a villiage, like in My Lie (spelling?) in 'Nam.
lol.

Note: I am not trying to knock the OP video, but here's the other side of that. While I do believe that alot of troops there have good intentions, here's the assholes that need to be discharged.
