US Army Nazi-like Graffiti in Iraq is "Creating More terrorism"....

[leftchick]

At least that is how I read this. Isn't that just the most beautiful thing to leave on peoples' homes after you have raided them? Nothing like showing what american democracy looks like. It also has such a NAZI quality to it. Maybe rummy's SS unit designed it.

:puke:

Edit to add Mopaul's Nazi photo..



... and here are some of the folks that are being raided.








God Bless America!

1. like "death cards"

Reminds me of the scene in Apocalypse Now when Robert Duvall's Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore was tossing the playing cards on the dead bodies of the Vietcong. Why is there the need to mark one's territory like this?

[leftchick]

3. it is sick isn't it?

it looks so fucking evil. right out of rummy's playbook.

[Stand and Fight]

2. Sad...

Serial killers do the same thing. Its a god-damn calling card.

[David__77]

4. That is a hallmark of war criminals.

The enlisted men need to resist the officers' bad tendencies.

5. Isn't that the Punisher symbol?

Notify Stan Lee, maybe he'll sue.

[mattclearing]

6. It is. Brilliant idea.

I'm sure Stan Lee would be disgusted to learn that his properties were being used in the act of atrocities.

[shaolinmonkey]

8. Lee is very protective of his copyrights.

Worth a try. Although isn't that "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" mentality central to the Punisher character? I'm not all that familiar with the comics.

[mattclearing]

10. Yes, of Punisher. But Stan Lee came up with Spider Man

With great power comes great responsibility.

I'm not sure of the extent to which he still controls the Marvel empire, though.

[Stirk]

13. Yeah, and the Punisher was usually used as an antagonist.

A misdirected, amoral anti-hero type of character. He gained popularity as a lead character as our culture started declining. Har har.

[KurtNYC]

14. Yes it is

[leftchick]

16. wow, that is very similar...

except the US Army's is much more evil looking.

[TWiley]

7. Hay, We are LIBERATING them

..... from their oil reserve, and our little brown brothers should be grateful that their uncle whitey will manage their wealth and screw them out of their national inheritance while starving their dumb asses until they accept Jesus as their lord and Saviour.

What more could we possibly do for THOSE people?

Sometimes, I am genuinely ashamed to be an American.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Are The Dead Ones Liberated? Or Are They Just Dead?

It's all so confusing, liberating oppressed people who didn't ask for our help.

[TWiley]

21. Jesus saved em.

Now, their riches are in heaven.

[mopaul]

11. the SS death's head insignia

.....lovely....just fucking lovely...........

[leftchick]

15. if you don't mind mopaul....

I edited my OP to add this photo. I had no idea they were so close!

[LynnTheDem]

12. Remember when the rightwingnuts SCREECHED bloody murder about Iraq

violating the Geneva Cons by showing American POWs?

Heh.

[leftchick]

17. I can not believe the soldiers aren't ashamed of this....

hopefully some are.

[semillama]

18. what's the 24 stand for?

strange...

Here's the original Punisher logo:

[leftchick]

19. perhaps...

it is the 24th one marked? I don't know. Thanks for the photo.
Cute, huh?

[mopaul]

20. 24th infrantry division?

just guessing. like the fighting 24th

[freestyle]

22. What are they punishing the Iraqis for?

That is the Punisher symbol from the comics. How brainwashed are our soldiers if they think this debacle is about punishing "evildoers"?
