    Shibumi, next time you talk to a soldier who has been to Iraq or worse, Afghanistan, tell him that. Then once your jaw is realigned and you get the cast removed from your body tell him again. Don't blame our soldiers for where they are deployed. Blame the politicians, and go preach that stuff at their funerals.

    You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

    I was going to bring up the Phelps family before I came to this page and saw I was beaten to it. You can't beat them for some good old fashioned trollin'.

    They are hilarious. They even do covers of pop songs and change the words to about how God hates everyone.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Been there, done that, jaw still aligned.

    And as to the argument of "do not blame the soldiers" - are you saying it is ok for soldiers to follow orders no matter what? If so, you are on pretty thin ice.
    Few are born with it, even fewer know what to do with it.

    That seems quite the stretch. Perhaps he's saying the soldiers aren't responsible for the wars we're in, so it seems pretty crass to harass or persecute them for the choices made by politicians. For an analogy, would you consider environmentalists concerned about fertilizer runoff justified in picketing the funerals of migrant workers killed in agricultural accidents, rather than the farmers who employ them?
