Gik,

Listen up Numbnutz. Here's what I'd say to our troops: "You guys are the Giant Green Killing Machine. The only reasonable purpose for being in Afghanistan is to lay waste and kill as many Taliban and Al Qaida as possible. While you're at it, if you can kill any and all who are associated with killing UN members or families because of their intolerance of American freedom of speech, double combat bonuses all around."

Lest there be any misunderstanding, I'm a pacifist, a peacenik. But when war is called for, I believe in laying such massive waste that the perps, or what's left of them, won't be capable of waging any offensive against the US for a century or so.

If the US doesn't stand for freedom, including our Constitutional freedom of speech, just what the h3ll do we stand for? Are you a radical Muslim sympathizer or something?
