McViPurr....your a POS. [img]/images/graemlins/down[/img] :nuts:
Shit, if I would have died when I was in Iraq...I'd come back and hunt your ass. You have NEVER been in the military or even give a shit about this country.
You need to go to iraq and talk to the 15 year old who was shooting at me with a ak-47. Yea, I could have killed his ass but I didn't. [img]/images/graemlins/slug[/img]
Oh and don't forget about the woman with child tried who drove a car bomb into my check point. Shit the list goes on and on. [img]/images/graemlins/badass[/img]
How can I forget about the IED they stuffed up a dogs ass. [img]/images/graemlins/loser[/img]
Yea, what a great thanks from people, especially when I AM THE ONE who gave them electrical power and helped rebuild schools. I spent 14 months in Iraq.
For anyone who doesn't think we are doing any good there. [img]/images/graemlins/hiFU[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/up2[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/fu[/img]

Oh yea...I almost forgot.
show the caskets, show the ragheads hiding in the mosk shooting at us(me) show it all for what it really is. No this politcaly correct bull shit that distorts the truth. Show the be-headdings, show the rapes, show it all.
As far as the caskets go. show'em it should be done out of respect.

I think the pictures are extremely respectful and show the deep appreciation and care in which the fallen soldiers receive from the US government and their fellow soldiers. They are somber and moving, yet peaceful and reassuring in an odd way.
I recently attended a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. It was for a non-military spouse, but was impressed with the respect shown for the retired Naval officer who's wife had passed. The chaplain spoke with the family and asked about the husband's serive, etc.
There was also a full dress funeral going on at the same time and was taken aback by it's solemn dignity. It was very moving. Also, the pall bearer military men in their full dress uniforms performed with pride.
The "back to reality" part that sucked, though, was immediately following the short graveside service, we could not exit the cemetary because the full dress funeral had some parts blocked off. So, we waited for the Arlington director to decide how he would lead the motorcade out of the cemetary, I noticed that there was a front end loader speeding toward the gravesite and the casket was already being lowered by hired civilian groundskeepers. Before we were even in our vehicles, (not more than 4 minutes after leaving the gravesite) they were rather unceremoniously dumping the dirt. Before anyone goes apeshit about being thankful for the service at Arlington..... - I know they are busy, but leaving the gravesite undisturbed until the family clears out wouldn't throw the schedule into irreparable disarray.
Overall, I think the government and the armed services honor the dead with far more compassion and respect than the rest of the US society, in general. And the pictures serve to remind us how grateful we should be to those who are fighting to try to keep us safe.

I think showing them is hardly disrespectful. I have the utmost resepect for anyone in the service and what they do for the people who are too pussy to join and do it themselves....me.
On a side note, not sure if any of you have seen or keep up with this, but it's a blog from a soldier over in Iraq. I just spent the last two hours reading all of it, and it's quite a sobering trip. It is absolutely insane what those guys go through....oh yeah, and he said that most everyone over there is anti-Moore and is pro-war....shove that up your ass Liberals [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
