Last time I checked, I never made a profile on this board other then to give the information so that I would be able to update the game. All of the other profile information hasn't been touched by me.
Ghostwes, read the links, two of them are from Iraqis. If you still don't believe it then you are lost, go hide. I notice that now that I have provided links to many news sources including the BBC for our UK brothers, everyone has begun attempting character attacks instead of anything with facts.
I will, amazingly enough, agree with a few things being said by the other side though, the Koran is a very peaceful book, moreso then the bible. There are a lot less wars in the Koran. The reason all this is happening is the same reason Christians went charging off to the Middle East centuries ago, people in charge are the ones who say they know the holy book and they are telling everyone that their holy book says kill anyone not like you.
That's the nice thing about all this, it has shown that people degenerate into fools when proven wrong and barbaric in their desire to not loose face in front of people they have never met. With the number of men and women in the US who serve in the military, there was a very good chance that one or two of them would be part of this forum. Yet when one shows up to give a first hand account of Iraq, everyone bashes them or tells them they are not in the military. The good thing is, other then one or two screaming children, those who are bashing the most are those who do not live in America, which means that their opinions are pointless for those of us here. They will never take a chance to learn about the truth, just what they learn from the people who share their opinion in the news media. I've found that fools will agree with anything someone who is like minded is saying, no matter what is being said. Like a lot of the things that were said were the reasons for this war in the first place, a bunch of fools agreeing with the man that was in charge. There were not hundreds of tons of chemical, biological, or radiological weapons hidden in Iraq but there were some, which was reported in the news (look it up, I already looked plenty for you all about the mass graves). Still, people were dying by the thousands just for not agreeing with a government or believing in a different thinking when it came to their religion. I've proven this by providing numerous sources and even links with pictures which I'm sure someone can bitch about even though I covered a broad spectrum of the various news media as well as an account from two different Iraqis.
The bad thing is that now it's becoming (at least in part) a 'we hate Israel' as well as America thing. Last time I checked, they simply are trying to live there, in a land that Christian holy books says is theirs (I would guess those hating Israel most are the people who also have no belief in a higher power whatsoever as Liberial and Atheist tend to go hand and hand from my experience). If you call yourself Christian and say they have no right to be there, then you aren't much of a Christian as the Bible has said that is the land set aside for the twelve tribes of Israel. Is it a good reason for them to try and kill all the none Jews on their land, no, not at all. They need to learn to live together, simple as that. That land means so much to so many people that if there is anywhere in the world that people should set aside their differences, it would be in Israel. I remember back in the late seventies and the eighties we brought back making a peace sign, only this time saying 'Peace in the middle east'. This doesn't seem to be happening naturally as villains and tyrants seem to be the ones in charge. What needs to be done, I don't know, I just know the part I played while I was there, trying to keep a people I didn't even share a language with alive against people who worshipped the same god and speak the same language. Then again, isn't that what we are proving on this forum right here, that even the people of the Western world can be just as vicious as those in the Middle East. Will it be long before we are killing each other over what we believe, if this forum is any example, we will be. I still refer to those that disagree with me as brothers and sisters but I imagine that offends them to their core. I imagine that if they could, they would spit in my face, expecially if they saw me in my uniform (I figured out the only way to prove that I was in the military is to take a picture of myself in uniform, in front of my posts and I just don't care to prove it to people from other countries who I will never meet) though I doubt they would have the courage to do so otherwise there would be a lot more western on western violence going on in other countries when American servicemembers go to those countries to visit (happens all the time, US Navy ships stop in all sorts of countries so long as they have a port).
That being said, it seems the people from this country who are complain are only a small few and the number of men and women willing to take them to task for being fools is much larger. To the people who complain from other countries, the great news is that you really don't matter, you are not in a position of power nor will you ever be so all you are doing is raising the temperature around with all your anger. Whether the US is wrong to be in Iraq is no longer the question as we are there and have been there for years now. It's no longer a valid point. The question is how to fix the problems. If the US leaves, the country will burn to the ground in a few weeks (at least for a small while longer, soon they will be in a position to take care of it themselves). I know that the death of the tens of millions of people that live in the country doesn't matter to you all because if the US left, then you could blame us for leaving too soon and all the deaths would be again on our heads. You guys don't care about them, you just want someone to hate. Well I have good news for you, feel free to hate us, we really aren't that bothered by it because you do not represent the world as a whole. You all are a bunch of boys and girls that bought a game and used it as an excuse to take some kind of personnal war online to that game's forum. IDMopman, I just noticed that you gave me props on what I said about the skeletons while using it as a chance to bash me because we put him in power. You are very right, we are very much to blame, just as the UK is very much to blame for all of the deaths that happened in their former colonies around the globe. Between you, France, and the other powers that took over large sections of Africa and South America, you guys have brought about some of the worst cases of mass murder ether directly or indirectly and at the time, your country was a hell of a lot older then ours when we helped Saddam. Don't throw stones in a glass house IDMopman, you tend to look silly. I never said that America is perfect, as a matter of fact, I have many times said that we aren't and I don't agree with a lot that some of our leaders have done. We have made mistakes and that's a damn big one but at the time you all were arguing that the mass graves didn't exist and I proved that they did, my statement was in that regard but as I said, fools sling shit when they have nothing other to throw. Thanks for proving my point IDMopman though I didn't hear you or any of your countrymen saying that the UK has screwed up in Africa, South America, India, the West Indies, Scotland, Ireland, or the dozens of other colonies your nation had. I know, I know, you were just educating the savages right?
Anyway, other then proving that I am in the military which I just don't feel the need to go far enough to post a picture of me or my ID, I think I have firmly slapped down all the people who tried to prove what I said wrong. I've also address how now they are simply going to start trying to sling shit at me now because they have nothing else to work with which, in the case of those from across the sea or across a border, you better have a damn good throwing arm. Once again IDMopman, I never said medical experiments or that the graves were filled with just children and I challange you to find in my posts where I said that. Otherwise, this does seem that it is going to simply turn into a mud slinging match as the dissenters are running out of things to say though if anyone does want to prove that I said medical experiments and just children, let me know, I will gladly jump on that one because misinformation is a great tool of both sides of this conflict and I always love proving it wrong. Hear that Ghostwes, Carbon, IDMopman, find in my posts where I said medical experiments as we can't edit our posts it should still be there. Hell, last time I checked, we can't even delete them. Ether find where I said it or shut the hell up about it. To all of you out there that support our troops because we signed a paper and are doing our jobs, thanks for the support and we are really happy to hear from you. Feel free to take it a step further and send a soldier a letter over there, ether to Camp Victor or FoB Anaconda, the guys and gals over there would love to hear from you and sometimes, those of us over there don't get a lot of mail.
Well, off to more important things but I will check back to see if those gutless, spineless, cowardly sorry excuses for something that their mothers should have swallowed instead of baking can find the place where I wrote just children or medical experiments (hope that works to get you kids to try and find the post but I imagine that you will just keep on saying that I said it without proof because you know you won't be able to find it and add it in to the post. By the by, not only do I and the others who would like to know where I posted it want to have you cut and paste it but I would like to know what page I wrote it on) See yall later.
