Troops' Gravestones Have Pentagon Slogans

[Lemonking]

You are thinking of joining? When do you plan to join, when its over? Come on, look at all the collage benefits you will get and all the money you will earn. I don't see a reason for you not to join since this is clearly a noble war and a noble cause.

Your parents shouldn't blame Bush as you volunteered on your own free will; however, Casey didn't have that option. Maybe if enough of you chickenhawks join up we can bring some of those that don't want to be there but have been there for 2-3 years now back home.

after I finisg College and loose 30-40 pounds my Dad and mum wont shed tears of joy when I join but Im sure they wouldnt be bitchin around like Cindy S.
btw Im not really sure If Im gonna join being a Deputy Sherrif would be nice too....:E

"Bitchin' around"? Her son died in an unjustified war that he shouldn't have been in. God forbid she gets emotional and has gotten fed up with the bullshit.

i think the war has killed loads of terrorists, and got rid of saddam who was a menace. i honestly think usa should have kept all those troops to hang around on the mexico-usa border to keep the immigrants/possible terrorists out.

 

[Absinthe]

It doesn't matter how man terrorists you've killed. There won't be an end to them. This isn't a simple matter of numbers.

And while Saddam was a bastard, the future of Iraq is not looking that much better.

 

[KoreBolteR]

that might be right absinthe, but usa couldnt sit back and allow no justice to the people who planned 9/11.

might make some people think.. to joining terrorist groups(and realise its wrong).. hopefully they will realise that terrorist groups kill innocent people daily. if it wasnt for terrorists, usa would be out of iraq already. and iraq would be a safe democracy.

if america didnt go to iraq, poor people wouldnt think twice to joining terrorist groups.

 

[baxter]

i think the war has killed loads of terrorists

Really?

One of the first attempts to independently estimate the loss of civilian life from the Iraqi war has concluded that at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians may have died because of the U.S. invasion.

Very true. Which is why they should have committed to those responsible. Not a ****ing side-trip to Iraq.

This entire situation could have been avoided if... y'know... no invasion took place. It would also probably help that the conduct of the war is so poor and badly organized.

if america didnt go to iraq, poor people wouldnt think twice to joining terrorist groups.

What? The Iraq invasion is what made these people terrorists.

 

[gh0st]

operation enduring freedom is the name of the war/military action that they were killed in. that "commondreams" article is just trying too hard. there is about the same political agenda involved in this as there is putting "operation rolling thunder" on the gravestones of american soldiers during vietnam. i agree that families should be able to furnish their family members gravestones as they please with the full support of the government. and it isnt a pentagon slogan, its pretty widely recognized that enduring freedom or iraqi liberation are the names.

It says the name of the Operation they died in :/.

Would you complain if WWII soldiers graves said "Operation Torch" or "Operation Overlord" on them?

They way you titled the thread it sounds like you were going to post the graves said something like "This soldier died in defense of the great an honorable Donald Rumsfeld, may he live a grand life and long live the United States Defense Department" or crap.

edit; Done without permission is not good, but I'm really, really doubting it's done to make some sort of political statement or anything. It just seems like they were wrong in putting extra stuff on it the family didn't want, they're not trying to make some sort of statement/propoganda.

still awaiting replies from the idiots who think having the name of the war they participated in on their gravestones is wrong.

As a side issue, this is the vilest comment I have ever seen on a forum

cry me a river.

 

[KoreBolteR]

Very true. Which is why they should have committed to those responsible. Not a ****ing side-trip to Iraq.

saddam opressed his people, in the centre of the middle eastern gang of corrupt leaders. the iraqis lived in fear ffs, hopefully iraq will benefit from this turn of events.

This entire situation could have been avoided if... y'know... no invasion took place. It would also probably help that the conduct of the war is so poor and badly organized.

the entire situation could have been avoided if terrorists didnt strike the world trade centres on sept 11, 2001.

What? The Iraq invasion is what made these people terrorists.

some more have sprung up, a lot have been killed. what should they have done, sat back and let terrorist grill up another 9/11?

 

[gh0st]

That's wonderful use of vivid and emotional imagery right there... but no. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. I know you have an irrational grudge against any form of media, but you should really lift the blinders at some point and check up on world affairs.

some more have sprung up, a lot have been killed. what should they have done, sat back and let terrorist grill up another 9/11?

Knock it with the 9/11. It has no relevance, so don't pretend it does.

What they should have done is not invade. At least not so prematurely. And I repeat: This is not something that can be won by diminishing their numbers. For every terrorist you kill, a martyr takes his place. Every confirmed kill that is made is seen as a justification for terrorism in their eyes. You cannot eliminate terrorism through brute force. And last I checked, military officials have said that the insurgency is still alive and well.

As for the whackiness of posts, feel free to point it out. Not once have I ever seen you construct a coherent argument on this forum.

Sorry gh0st.

i lost about 25 million knuckle children about 8 minutes ago i know how it feels.

[gh0st]

Can you ?

there's a difference between interjecting in a stupid off topic argument with a single post than there is creating said stupid off topic argument. this thread has nothing to do with the validity of the war, or whether or not soldiers should be over there. i thought the people without vaginas would think it was funny. i dont really care if you in particular did or didnt.

Really, well somebody like yourself would know all about it won't you, laying down you make believe intellect, living you make believe life, don't you spit rhetoric at me pal, there is nothing funny about "injecting" humour into the death of a child.

of course i know what happening in the world, i got you lot for a start. and i also have the bias anti-coalition media. plus some neutral ones like BBC and CNN, but at the end of it, you didnt say i was wrong. 9/11 caused america to invade corrupted, terrorist filled countries.

Knock it with the 9/11. It has no relevance, so don't pretend it does.

of course it does, its the reason america got ready for war against terrorism.

Of course I didn't say you were wrong on that point. Saddam was a bad man. But he had no connection to 9/11 and he was not a threat to us.

Last I checked, the terrorists were Saudis and they were being harbored by the Taliban. That's about as far as the connections stretch. If America's so dead set and rooting out corruption, why don't they go for Saudi Arabia?

of course it does, its the reason america got ready for war against terrorism.

Which is a war so flawed in its premise that it is doomed to fail. And for all it's harping, the search for Bin Laden has seemingly disappeared.

Again, you fail to show a connection. Congrats.

only because you dont agree with my views. u cant accept it. even if you know im right

That's because your views are so incoherent and ill-informed that I have every reason to disagree with him. If you want to convince yourself that I'm simply trying to save face here, then go ahead. You've still yet to point out any clear examples of "whackiness". Just a blanket statement.

arent we all posting whacky statements. theyre all fed by the whacky bias media.

 

[Absinthe]

There are plenty of evil men in the world. Quite a few of them are products of our own doing. And there are worse and more dangerous people than Saddam Hussein. But as caustic as this may sound, it is not our duty to root them all out. Our nation was mislead into a war that, had the reality of the situation been presented to them, they would probably not have supported.

because saudi arabia is trying to fight terrorism in its own country

They are still a corrupt and harsh government. They fight terrorism not out of benevolence, but because it's a threat to their power.

thats very positive of you show some spirit man!

Kore, what exactly is there to be positive about? The war is flawed in its premise for reasons I've already stated. This is not an issue about me being a pessimist. It will not get better if I suddenly pretend it to be. No amount of willpower on my part to "show some spirit" will make the war any less illogical.

You're being naive.

arent we all posting whacky statements. theyre all fed by the whacky bias media.

This only confirms your naivite. Saudi Arabia has detestable human rights issues. Its government could care less about its people's well being.

That's incredibly moronic. I cannot have a positive outlook in Iraq given the circumstances. And the notion of terrorism evaporating? Toss it. Terrorism will always remain. Think realistically, Kore. You can ebb it, for sure. But not with the present course of action. To defeat terrorism, you need to do so on an ideological basis. Bullets and bombs will not defeat it.

i do read 'between the lines', and i can smell biasy :dozey:

I was implying that you should look past the bias. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. If you do not have the capacity to do that, then that's your problem, and a serious one at that.

Except there would be no terrorist activity in Iraq had the invasion not taken place.

Again, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. To talk about "another" attack as if the two had any connection is sheer ignorance.

even her own family is telling her to stfu.

What bearing should this have, exactly?

 

[Lemonking]

enough is enough its just not possible for a president to pull out the troops outta Iraq
"just" becuz a sad mom is on a anti war crusade. Sheehan doesnt represent all the familys that have sons and husbands in war. shes just annoying people right now,nothing else

shes one of the tin hat wearing lunatics, her son was old enough to make the decission to join the millitary If he honestly believed hed never see combat...then it was dumb of him joining the millitary.

Perhaps not, but I think she is an important and necessary figure to show how much of America thinks this is all in vain.

Sheehan doesnt represent all the familys that have sons and husbands in war. shes just annoying people right now,nothing else

Just annoying people? Annoying you would be more apt. I'm sorry you don't like dissenting views.

Seeing combat is one thing. Getting tossed into an unjustified war to die for a lie is quite another.

none intentionally of course, but it hopefully will bring freedom to millions of others for generations to come.

This only confirms your naivite. Saudi Arabia has detestable human rights issues. Its government could care less about its people's well being.

saddam couldnt care less about his peoples well being... and america got rid of him, yet you ignore this.

if terrorism will always remain, we maight as well all sit in out houses and lie face down on the ground, do nothing and let terrorists get off lightly, and plan plan plan more attacks. the better thing to do is to go after them if there are forever terrorists, not sit and wait. like ive already said.

I was implying that you should look past the bias. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. If you do not have the capacity to do that, then that's your problem, and a serious one at that.

yeah but things are twisted and made look worse... intentionally out to couase more hatred and possible more terrorists. like i said. no terrorists = peace around the world... you wouldnt see american marines walk in a morrocan bar and blow themselves to pieces, would you?

Except there would be no terrorist activity in Iraq had the invasion not taken place..

there would be multiplying terrorist groups harboring in afghanistan and iraq, and all around the middle east! i find it ignorant of you to think that there wud be no terrorists what-so-ever if america didnt invade, thats just obsurdity. can i ask what planet you are on?

Again, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. To talk about "another" attack as if the two had any connection is sheer ignorance.

but terrorist are the ones who planned it, and thats why america are after them all now, there are some in iraq, there was a terrible evil man ruling iraq, hes gone, more terrorists eliminated.

There were no major terrorist organisations in Iraq prior to the American occupation. Saddam Hussein would never allow it, nor would he have any reason to support them. It's the same as Saudi Arabia, really. They don't care for the wellbeing of the people, but a terrorist organisation with support within their borders could potentially threaten their own powerbase.

Afghanistan is different, and really not what we're arguing about here. Despite the failure to catch Bin Laden, they actually did an acceptable job in Afghanistan. Sure, the country's got it's problems, but they take time and effort to sort out, both of which are unfortunately being directed to Iraq.

Iraq has actually created MORE terrorists than there were before. The whole situation has allowed a few radical leaders to prey upon the fears of many thousands who previously would never have considered it.

 

[KoreBolteR]

intresting read here, have a look at this...

http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/dictators/saddam-hussein/

 

[baxter]

In the aftermath of the devastating U.S. invasion of 2003, a hoarde of soldiers pored over Iraq with a fine tooth comb but found little convincing evidence that Hussein and Qaeda had any noteworthy connections, and no evidence at all that Iraq had any significant role in the September 11 attack.

In fact, al Qaeda long considered itself an enemy of the Hussein regime

It is an interesting read

 

[KoreBolteR]

doesnt change the fact that saddam was an evil man, and should have been put out of power. friends with some terrorist groups or not

 

[baxter]

Kor, nobody is saying otherwise, he is a very evil, murdering despot and isn't fit to run a country.
Having said that it doesn't give us the right to bomb a country into the Stone Age, invade it, kill thousands of innocent people and get hundreds of our own soldiers killed.
We were told he had WMD, and then he harboured terrorists and finally what we all know he was a murdering dictator. But the west knew this for years and did nothing, infact we even supported him prior the first Gulf war.
You are correct he is an evil man, but equally correct is the fact there are many more like him, should we therefore apply the same principles and rules to them?

 

[KoreBolteR]

UN needs to be more powerful

 

[Absinthe]

none intentionally of course, but it hopefully will bring freedom to millions of others for generations to come.

Again, take off your blinders. All indications point to a possible civil war. All indications point to the creation of a theocratic government. All indications point to a continued and prolonged insurgency presence. Iraq is very likely to come out worse than it was before.

To take that kind of gamble and say "well, maybe things will turn out better" is to admit that this war was flawed from the get-go.

I have issues with the war on more fundamental principles as well. The people should not have been misled into supporting a war that they may not have wanted to get into.

saddam couldnt care less about his peoples well being... and america got rid of him, yet you ignore this.

I merely point out the double standard, Kore. You have the inability to see that, so itseems.

if terrorism will always remain, we maight as well all sit in out houses and lie face down on the ground, do nothing and let terrorists get off lightly, and plan plan plan more attacks. the better thing to do is to go after them if there are forever terrorists, not sit and wait. like ive already said.

Bullshit. Death will always remain. Rape will always remain. Crime will always remain. Do we sit back and let those things flourish? No, we don't.

But again, you don't understand... well, anything, really. In the way that the war on terror is executed, we will be chasing terrorists forever. There will never be a significant defeat over them. Money and resources will be wasted on a fruitless conflict that will only inspire more people to their cause. Take in mind that terrorism is not that high of a risk that you're likely to die from. 9/11 being the exception, there is no impending terrorist threat. Well, at least there wasn't until we stuck our noses in Iraq.

But I digress... You have utterly failed to show any connection between the terrorism and Iraq. So you can talk about the threat of terrorists starting to "plan plan plan more attacks", but it has zero relevance to the topic and only makes your words sound increasingly hollow.

yeah but things are twisted and made look worse... intentionally out to couase more hatred and possible more terrorists. like i said. no terrorists = peace around the world... you wouldnt see american marines walk in a morrocan bar and blow themselves to pieces, would you?

"No terrorists = Peace around the world" is untrue. But let's assume for a second that it is. It's still a naive fairy tale, as terrorism will always exist.

The media's trying to create more hatred and terrorists? Now I know you're off your rocker. There are obvious sources that are pro-war/anti-war, but I am not aware of any that promote terrorism. And if you're going to say Al Jazeera for the millionth time, please don't. You've never managed to back up that claim. It's just irrational ramblings on your part.

there would be multiplying terrorist groups harboring in afghanistan and iraq, and all around the middle east! i find it ignorant of you to think that there wud be no terrorists what-so-ever if america didnt invade, thats just obsurdity. can i ask what planet you are on?

There was no terrorist activity in Iraq before the invasion. Now there is.

Kore, I'm really getting fed up with you misreading, misrepresenting, and generally not knowing what the **** you're talking about. I'll break this down nice and easy for you.

1) I supported the war in Afghanistan.

2) I did not support the war in Iraq.

3) I never said there would be no terrorists if we didn't invade Iraq. I have said that the terrorist activity in Iraq is a result of the invasion and has, in all likeliness, increased anti-American sentiments and increased terrorist numbers.

4) The war on terrorism has no place in Iraq.

but terrorist are the ones who planned it, and thats why america are after them all now, there are some in iraq, there was a terrible evil man ruling iraq, hes gone, more terrorists eliminated.

There was no terrorist activity in Iraq before the invasion. The invasion created the terrorist presence there. That's some very ****ed up retroactive justification, Kore. And again, "elimination" achieves little to nothing. They can easily replace their ranks. A simple body count doesn't phase them. You have consistently looked over this for some reason. My guess is that it creates some strange cognitive dissonance within you.

Yes, Saddam was an evil man. I ask you what his removal costs. So far, it's resulted in an increased terrorist presence, 100,000 Iraqi civilians killed, increased anti-American sentiments, billions of dollars in funding, and the prospect of a civil war. These are not far-off fantasies like your tired "maybe they'll be free in the future" tripe. These are very real in-the-now problems and possibilities.

"But Saddam was evil, Absinthe!" Yeah, he was. And I don't think his removal has paid off. To use an analogy, it's like using a nuke to take out a murderer. Thousands are dead! Homes are destroyed! It will take years and years to recover! But at least we got the bad guy!

LOLOZLOL WHAT A TRADE-OFF, MAN!!!1

I'm done with you, Kore. You are seemingly unable to grasp simple concepts and ideas. You misread and misrepresent my text. Your thinking is infantile at best. I'd have better luck yelling at a plant than continuing this with you.

 

[KoreBolteR]

Again, take off your blinders. All indications point to a possible civil war. All indications point to the creation of a theocratic government. All indications point to a continued and prolonged insurgency presence. Iraq is very likely to come out worse than it was before.

u never know, there might be a truce and things might turn out for the good.

Bullshit. Death will always remain. Rape will always remain. Crime will always remain. Do we sit back and let those things flourish? No, we don't.

we can decrease the amounts of rape and crime by fighting it, we can decrease the threat of terrorism by goijng after them, not waiting around like dummies for them to attack us.

Take in mind that terrorism is not that high of a risk that you're likely to die from. 9/11 being the exception, there is no impending terrorist threat. Well, at least there wasn't until we stuck our noses in Iraq.

THE terrorist threat was 9/11, you cant make that an exeption, thats the reason america are fighting the terrorists overseas now, thats why the marines and intelligence are after the masterminds of inhumane acts caused by the terrorists. america got rid of saddam, if they built refreshing new facilities like schools and hospitals they could be gone by now, but there we have terrorists, always killing people building the schools, kills its OWN people who parcipitate in helping america achieve peace. these people are like a virus ina PC, we need anti-virus' to get rid of them, other wise they are going to spread!

"No terrorists = Peace around the world" is untrue. But let's assume for a second that it is. It's still a naive fairy tale, as terrorism will always exist.

then in your ideology, the world will always be at war with the terrorists. im sure people living thru WWII were convinced that nazi's would always exist. but where are they now? is germany a great place now? yes it is.

The media's trying to create more hatred and terrorists? Now I know you're off your rocker. There are obvious sources that are pro-war/anti-war, but I am not aware of any that promote terrorism. And if you're going to say Al Jazeera for the millionth time, please don't. You've never managed to back up that claim. It's just irrational ramblings on your part.

im sure a few people who have read the iraqi news papers who are heavily critical of every mistake the usa does, and blame the americans for anything the terrorists do. im sure they are poor, im sure they get offered by terrorists to join thier 'group' for money. and after reading all the anti-america bs, i bet they are jumping for the choice with a big smile on thier face. not knowing the damage it could cause to their own country. at least some iraqi civilians have said they dont want the marines to leave because of the terrorist threat.
