Description
Just criminals in military fatigues...In 1965, senior military commander of United States forces in Vietnam Gen. William Westmoreland, developed the aggressive strategy of "search and destroy". The objective was to find and then kill members of the National Liberation Front. The US soldiers found this difficult. As one marine captain explained: "You never knew who was the enemy and who was the friend. They all looked alike. They all dressed alike." Innocent civilians were often killed. As one Marine officer admitted they "were usually counted as enemy dead, under the unwritten rule 'If he's dead and Vietnamese, he's VC'."

You really have no understand of the complexities of the Iraq war, do you? Or any war for that matter. Why not get your facts straight and talk with someone who knows about Iraq instead of listening to the anti-American propaganda out there.

anti-USA propaganda? uhauhauhauhuahuhauhauahuahua Here we have a novel in TV called "America", we don't need anti-USA propaganda, we see the USA propaganda and don't like.
Your true don't is the true. If you don't wanna discuss, don't get tired shouting the others, show facts and maybe someone consider what you say. Facts with confident sources don't interested.

Yea and if its not in the military it's an innocent civilian. What's to stop a child, women, or elderly person from picking up an AK-47 and trying to kill a US Soldier?
I recall from a great film entitled "Black Hawk Down" that both a woman and a child tried to kill US Soldiers, the woman was killed. Just because they're a woman, a child, or an old person doesn't mean they're automatically innocent. I'm sorry but if a 10 year old tried to kill me, I'm giving him two in the chest and one in the head.
Am I saying that no innocent people died in Iraq? Of course not, war is hell, innocent casualties are inevitable, but to call our soldiers criminals in military fatigues makes me wanna puke.

You are relying on a movie from hollywood, loosely based on factual events, for historical reference? You sir, are an idiot.

Yes, I know it's a fictional movie (although based on a true story) my point is that everything in that movie could happen, and probably has happened in one battle or another.

That doesn't mean that every single person is or will try to kill you, a few radical people might, but don't premptively kill people because they might attack you. You kill far too many innocent that way.

I agree. This act is sickening and despicable. For all the man's vacations, perhaps Bush could TRY once in a while to NOT make non neocon, religious lunatic or KKK Americans ashamed of their nationality?
Good artwork, it's a while ago, but maybe you could do one on the marines raping that 12 year old in Okinawa from 1995? -not that they don't rape someone now and again if you want to be current- Something like a general in an understandably angry mood holding a pointer at two pictures in this classroom enviornment. On the left is a picture from H anime showing a girl getting attacked by a tentacled monster. Above that picture is the word "Fantasy". On the right is a picture of a soldier behind bars with some very mean types moving up behind him. That picture is titled "Reality".
Alternatively, you could have the picture on the left being a sleazy, cheap 'geisha' holding a "G.I. welcome!' sign titled "Hooker, give $20". On the right, you'd have a very young girl in a school uniform, the caption reads "NOT hooker. Be polite and back away."
The troops are drooling and scratching their heads like apes. The general says "COME ON, MEN! You can't be that DUMB!!!"

Your art contains less and less truth, and more and more false propaganda. It's no longer satire. It's no longer a parody. It's just a huge lie. None of the text in this reflects any of the actual intent of the US Army, and YOU DAMN WELL KNOW IT.
