Are they trying to make Iraq look like a Crusade? Christmas in Iraq.

You just said earlier "I was going to be mad at this but I won't". Now you find it infuriating. You are a liar too. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

I agree, we do have the most high tech military equipment on the plant. What is your point? We pick fights with countries like Vietnam and Iraq and we have to go toe to toe with ****ty M-16s. Our troops are loaded with so much body armor and gear they can't run any distance. No wonder the Hajis can run away at will. Despite our lazer guided this, and nuclear that most of the fighting is still done with small arms you could find at a gun show in America. We are geared for a conventional war. How useful are our amazing nuclear subs in Iraq? How really wonderfully useful were our 3,000+ nuclear warheads in Vietnam?

Ok the nightvision is good and the airstrikes are good. So is the artillery, but except for the nightvision, wars haven't changed much since World War 2.

Besides if our military is as hot as you say how do you explain Blackwater USA and all the contractors? Why isn't the good ol American soldier good enough to protect the important people? They know as well as I do the military is a bunch of boneheads. Yes blackwater is mostly ex-military minus one important aspect, the military.

Ol Paul Bremer didn't want Timy whitetrash from Nowhere TN covering his asss in the warzone did he? He knows better.

I was going to be mad at a particular post, but decided against it.

I DO find it infuriating when someone denigrades our military which is a POSITION (which doesn't neccessarily apply to you).

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

But, hey ... everyone is a liar to you. It's easier to think that then to have to wrap your noodle around something complex, I suppose.
