Billboard Alteration Salutes U.S. Military in Iraq


Located at the intersection of Seventh and Folsom Streets in San Francisco, the billboard was apprehended, rehabilitated, and discharged without incident. The advertisement, which had been attempting to sell and distribute petrochemicals, was corrected to promote the U.S. Department of Defense and their private subcontractors operating in Iraq.

1. I grew up BELIEVING that we (the USA) were supposed to be "the good guys"

Who came to save the day? Always taking the moral high ground no matter how difficult to attain our goals. Why do these nasty pseudo-Americans choose to glorify our thuggery and bully tactics? What in the world is commendable about Jack Booted Storm Troopers?

5. Nothing
And you were fed a story that is no more true than cinderella but was meant to help you aspire to the mythic America but there were many who wanted to use the myth for evil. Think Joseph McCarthy, those who accelerated a war we should never have been in in vietnam and those who fed on our fear of terrorism. We are so much better than this but the myth has been used against us instead of inspiring us. It has been basterdized and made evil.

Sad. It never really existed as anything but a myth. But it was a myth that could be used for good or for evil and it is firmly being used for evil now.

WE have become soft and it's time for the militia to come back together for it's initial reason. That makes me very sad. I would have loved to have the American Militia remain a part of history.

V for Vendetta.

2. That doesn't make sense at all!

6. Not much incentive for anyone else to fight clean with YOU then

IS there, my precious? Hm?

No moral high ground for you to claim that terrorism is cowardly when you're just a bunch of cowardly torturers.

7. folks - this was done by billboard LIBERATION. Targetted to show TORTURE
as if proud of it, and smack folks upside the head with how wrong it is.

"we fight dirty!" Say it loud, say it proud might be the words but they are there for the recoil factor.

Go to billboardliberation.com


(sorry but some people seemed to be taking this literally...)

9. I am relieved, but would not put it past the pukes to put that up

...and be proud. After all, they are disgusting pukes who applaud jail sentences and executions for innocent people and come all over their monitors at the sight of women and children burning in pits of tar.
