Answer these questions to yourselves honestly. Could tell you something interesting.
I think the point the guy is making is that we tend to have a kind of PC around our troops... He used offensive language to drive the point home... same way that some people who pride themselves on being "anti-PC" do with everything else.
How's it any different here?
The guy has the right to be a jack-ass... and maybe hidden in this crap there is a point about how our culture sees men in uniform.

I agree with you 100%. The people who get so upset are the ones who often complain about PC. However, it is morons like this guy who make honest debate on the subject hard! When an intelligent person questions the widespread idea in this culture that the troops are tantamount to saints, they get lumped in with idiots like this guy! No intelligent and balanced person says f the troops! Which is basically the same as saying I hope they die!
I don't drive around with a bumper sticker saying "support our troops" because I find it to be dishonest. Buying a bumper sticker does nothing to support the troops. Saying you support the troops seems to me to be the same as saying I hope the troops don't die, and their mission is successful. I hope for that too, but I also hope that innocent Iraqi children don't die either, but I don't put a sticker on my car, because I do nothing to help insure that!

This is teeko responding to me telling him hitler is spelled with 1 T not 2. This has to be one of the weirdest, and most nonsensical things ever posted here.
