1. OK, what could be wrong with it?

[DistressedAmerican]

2. Well the pic makes them look short and fat.

I'd bet Mohhamed Atta could have outrun them.

[atreides1]

3. Besides looking kind of dumb

Their boots are bloused at the ankles/ I don't see any sign of a weapon/ Looks like the guy on the right is getting ready to do deep knee bends/ The guy on the left looks like he's trying to hold his
pants up.

They look like slobs! The worn look is great if you're out in the field or in a combat zone, but if you're here at home you definitely have to set a better example.

Yes, I was in the army and I was an NCO! There is no way these two guys should have been posted looking the way they do.

4. Well, for their sake, I sure hope they don't get deployed to Iraq...

or Afghanistan. They sort of look like heat stroke + heart attack waiting to happen if they were forced to run. Not that I'd be in any better shape, mind you....

[PuraVidaDreamin]

5. Will they get citizenship after a tour in Iraq?

just askin'?

[wakeme2008]

6. I was thinking they had too many Tours at Mickey Dees

:rofl:

[PuraVidaDreamin]

8. How freakin' funny

Thank the goddess for the wonderful
sense of humor from DUers

[peace13]

7. These personal assaults are not funny.

I can't believe you are making fun of them.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

9. Yes, they are all that stands between us & chaos, anarchy & mayhem.

I thank them & refuse to make fun of them no matter
how tempted I might be. Do you think they want to be
there getting ready to throw themselves on gatorade and
shampoo explosives for me?

[PuraVidaDreamin]

10. LOL

:rofl:

[Mind_your_head]

14. ROFL

:rofl:

[Marnieworld]

16. don't you know?

Making fun of fat people is the last acceptable predjudice. It's a good thing that no one here is to be offended. :sarcasm: :eyes:

[notadmblnd]

20. it's not criticism for the sake of criticism

or even a personal attack on the two fellas. But I do think it goes to show the irony of all this terra.. terra.. terra.. you must be afraid meme that has been constantly shoved down out throats since 9-11. In this photo, they represent an image of the action our government is supposedly taking to protect us. I would have thought the photo was odd, no matter what size the men in it were. protecting us with no weapons.. how am I supposed to be expected to believe any sort of threat is real by looking at this?

[displacedtexan]

11. Is that guy leaning on a trash can?

Ooooh, I feel so much safer!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. He's using it to brace himself to jump faster on suspicious travelers.

It makes suspicious travelers relax and think they're
not under suspicion, until before you know it he jumps on
them and has them in custody.

[lonestarnot]

13. He's using it to hold his fat self up and that's about it.

[madokie]

15. Yes, their attire

inappropriate

[kath]

17. How dare you make fun of them! They're keeping us SAFE! If they weren't

at all the airports keeping us SAFE I'd be hiding under my bed blubbering incoherently.

[Lochloosa]

23. I would join you but my tuna fish is taking up all of the room under

my bed.

[SammyWinstonJack]

!

:spray:

[notadmblnd]

18. what are thy protecting the airport with? Their girth?

I see no weapons what so ever and I'm thingking the only thing in those pouches they're wearing, is lunch.

[MrCoffee]

19. Those belts are about the only thing keeping ME safe from the terror..

that would ensue when their pants hit their ankles

[i miss america]

21. What kind of a camouflage pattern is that?

Are they trying to blend in with the sidewalk?

[MrCoffee]

22. I had to look hard to see them...that's some quality cammo.

[notadmblnd]

24. and the little black spots are stale chewing gum that people have spit out
