Technically sexy.
Hitler ran a top notch economy, you know.
The problem i have with c*nts and groups like that is that the basis of their argument is fundamentally wrong. People sign up to the Armed Forces to serve their country and do so whether they agree with the political climate/highly controversial war or not. They do so because if they don't, who else will?
Criticising the soldiers for fighting out there is the most boneheaded thing a tree hugger can possibly do in relation to the situation, and shows a complete lack of understanding of...it all! (i still maintain that in order to fully understand military life, you have to have lived the military life, and i know a few people on here who have because they're the only ones i really pay any attention to when something like this comes up)
The soldiers are doing their job - It's the people who authorised the invasion that should have their ankles broken so we can recognise them by their limping. Damning the soldiers isn't going to change a thing out there except disillusion the people who risk death by going to work. Damning the folk who sent them there might, just might, one day make a difference.
Whilst i'd never ever want to see the freedom of speech eradicated, some people just deserve to have their tongues cut off for the sake of irony.

I also don't agree that everything can be justified with 'theyre just doing their job', like everyone is totally naive when they sign up. Surely when people sign up they must have some idea of what their job MAY entail. Particularly as according to the Guardian recruitment was up 9.2% for the most recent year figures were available (2006).

I don't think it's Godwin's Law if it occurs in the first reply.

I should point out again in my first post I said I understand the need of a military. I'm not against soldiers, I'm against the idea that they're somehow beyond criticism.

Like the ones that seem to think copyright infringement isn't a crime.
No no no. It is a crime, but its OK to break it because other people do the same...
