IRAQ ... dumb song

PS to dave ... alright, thar bud ... here ya go.

So ... looks like some of our boyz were having a little fun, blowing off a little steam.

Earth to soldiers ... earth to soldiers ... the next time you are doing something "fun / stupid / foolish" ... and you see somebody with a camara ... SHOOT THE BASTARD AND DESTROY THE CAMARA!!!!! Can you say Abu-Graib? How many times do you have to be stabbed in the back by our major news media WITH YOUR OWN FILMS before you realize how stupid this is? Who thinks it is a good idea to film yourself doing something offensive / stupid?

C'mon guys ... heresay is one thing ... documented / filmed proof is another. So ... just like when you go to church and the pastor tells you to turn off your cell phones so that you don't interrupt the sermon ... at the beginning of every event that you partake in that you are going to do something stupid ... make an announcement that all jackasses with any film or recording device needs to turn it off!

(is this really that difficult?)

Having said that ...

Some goofy arab or muslim group here (CAIR) is expressing its outrage over the dumb song.

First off ... is anybody else as sick and tired as I am as to the oversensitivity of every little prick (oh, I'm sorry ... special interest group) over things that are obviously done in jest?

Let's try a little perspective here, huh folks? These marines are putting their asses on the line to protect your ass ... so that the biggest thing you CAN worry about is whether or not your sensitivities are offended by a stupid song. The alternative is that they refuse to protect your ass and instead your "sensitivities" are offended when some sick nut cuts your worthless friggin' head off, only after he cuts your daughter's head off after raping her while you watched.

Oh yeah ... suddenly a song doesn't seem all that important, eh?

Once, just once ... I would love to see one of these groups say ... "You know, these are guys working under unbelievably stressful conditions, putting their lives on the line and doing their part to make the world a better place. We hope that they would try to avoid such things, but we would hardly be reasonable if we judge their every move under these circumstances. We support our military and wish them Godspeed and safe return."

Would you just fall down on your ass if that happened? I would.

But hey ... if CAIR wants to express their condemnation ... then let them also express their condemnation of the terrorist / enemy actions ... face-to-face. Jump on a little airliner bound for Baghdad ... wander on through one of the "hot" areas, and let the bad guys know that you are not happy with them. Note: you will generally find the bad guys hiding under the skirts of women, cowering behind children holding a gun to their heads while they force the child to detonate a roadside bomb, or perhaps buried in some 1000 year old mosque taking potshots at soldiers.
