er, dg, its not random its happened.

  Ahem

He's saying British troops though.

Narrows the field some.

I'm not passing comment on US troops. Their training seems to involve a lot of screaming at recruits and attempting to turn them psycho.

You keep telling me Uk troops murder Iraqis on a day-to-day basis. Show me some actual evidence. And I don't mean during protests or anything like that where by soldiers might perhaps rightfully claim provocation or self-defense or something. Show me a case of an Iraqi being shot becase he stood on a soap-box and bad mouthed Bush

Except that a lot of people join the army because it's a job and one that they can definitely get. It's not necessarily the "best" of any countries young people, nor those who want to "be all they can be" to quote the US Army's old motto.
As The Onion once put it, "Bottom 10% of this year's high school graduating class to take on Saddam's army."

Yeah, so they're giving guns to people too stupid to even tie their own ****ing shoe-laces, putting them with the other 5% who're decent soldiers and expect bad **** not to happen.

Well, if you're missing a leg from an RPG, it's hard to be all you once were, never mind 'all you can be'.

[an0n]

That's why they don't let cripples into the army.

What's your point?

[aldo_14]

whooooshh!

[an0n]

You're a dog?

I fail to see how that's relevant.

[an0n]

You're not a dog.

I see. It's all so clear now.

[aldo_14]

That's the sound of the point going over your head.

Tell you waht, I'll give you another few tries and explain it.  Slowly.  In big letters if you need me to.

[an0n]

I got the bit about "People shoot at soldiers", which seemed kinda too obvious to warrant a post being made about it.

Maybe you should post it in big letters.

Right.  So there was no need for the smart arse  (well, more dumb arse) post you made, then.

Maybe next time, just for your benefit, I will.  Though I suspect it's your head and not your eyes that need help.

[an0n]

The point of that post was to ask you to post in big-letters.

Which you haven't done.

[aldo_14]

Why help you?  After all, hatred is the way to victory or some pish along those lines.

[an0n]

Yeah, so you've realised you had no point and decided not to explain it so everyone could see the blatant flaws in your argument.

Kudos for the almost Iraqi-like retreat from my superior position, knowledge and intelligence.

As someone who was one of the US troops, shut the **** up. Boot camp does NOT involve a lot of screaming at recruits and attempting to turn them psycho.

Maybe if you some of you ****wits would actually join the military and get a ****ing clue about what it is actually like, and what you actually do in the miltary, you could form an informed opinion instead of spouting off about **** you don't know a goddamn thing about.

[an0n]

Aside: Normally, I'd brag and laugh, but I get the feeling he's about to turn on me too.

Tee hee@irony

[an0n]

Yeah, if he meant it as irony.

If he did, he's surpassed all previous levels of sublety, satire and sarcasm ever even attempted on these boards.
