It is strange, isn't it, political correctness in a WAR? Seems to me that our fighting men/women need all the help they can with effective propaganda, but just call me a racist, anti-anti, for thinking they're right.
Were I still young enough to engage in a firefight with these people, I'd wear an Arkansas Razorback hog helmet and a pork chop necklace with my Infidel t-shirt over my body armor. S***w 'em.

I see it in our legal system, in our schools, in our wars. It overall gradually changes good to evil and evil to good. The criminal has more rights and the victem becomes the bad guy. I read something from the most rediculous cases. A man owned a shop which was being robbed consistantly. The police knew they were comming in through the skylight when everyone left at night. The man was going broke. He finally decided to take matters into his own hands and had an electrical grid put into the skylight that would shock the theif. Well it worked, but the theif had a heart attack. The owner of the businnes was sued and went to jail for murder.
bugsygirl: You are right on that one. Sad but true.
Texas Sovereignty: Exactly!
Patsy: If you no someone who has access to a conversancy on base, I am sure they can get you one of the T-Shirts or Signs. I have a few but I have access to a conversancy also.
