More Stupidity from the Troops
« on: April 18, 2012, 07:10:58 pm »
Yes, our fine men and women in uniform are at it again. Apparently not content with murdering innocent civilians and keeping body parts as trophies, pissing on war dead, or standing in front of the Nazi SS symbol for a photo op, they've now taken to posing for pictures with the body parts of dead Afghan suicide bombers. This is gonna cost us...

Ah, I love the eXile: Dolan writes for both and McElwee help start The Beast.
 I have to agree with the article. However, there are aspects of training that are designed to overcome people's natural distaste of killing. And then one is put in a high pressure environment with a gun, you're gonna get shit like this. But yes, no more coddling.

The War Nerd is a nationalistic, reactionary piece of crap who hasn't posted in a long time. That said he is damned interesting and I do like reading his analyses of conflicts, it's always different from anything you hear in mainstream media. When I get some money, I will buy his book.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.
