Resistance is futile...

Resistance is futile...

Join Us into darkness
On clouded skies We ride
Flog the angels senseless
In torment They will die

Very sad. annoy: We just have to keep letting the troops know we support them in their fight.

They think it crashed, not shot down. Just so you know...

Sad news.

Not all 37 died in the crash. 4 were killed from fighting, one from an IED..

85 US Dead this month, so far.

Holy shit... I had no idea the death toll was so high in Iraq (I don't read up much on this kind of news)...

RIP all.

Weird, I was watching on the Military Channel a special about the CH-53 yesterday, it is the fastest helicopter at 200mp/h that can carry up to 50 marines, or a few vehicles, and can lift about 7 tons. It also has the ability to make emergency landings in water

military channel wtf?

fuck i hate the media

Not to downplay the significance of any of the lives of the soldiers who've been killed in Iraq (I have a LOT of friends over there right now), but the death toll in this war isn't even a fraction of previous wars we've fought.

The problem is that the media is embedded with the troops now, this was the worst idea ever. The media's focus on negative reporting has destroyed troop morale and given whack job protestors even more ammunition.

We're there and we're not going to be going anywhere, so hopefully people can stop denouncing the war every thirty seconds and focus their energy on supporting our troops so that they can do their work and come home. The negativity that so many people think is "cool" to show these days only kills more troops.

That said, may all those troops RIP. I've made a point to pray for them as often as I can. I'll say an extra one tonight.

The media reports the negative aspects of the Iraq war because the Iraq war was unnecessary and a waste of our soldiers. We shouldnt be there in the first place. No one bashes the Afghan war because nearly everyone supports the cause and agrees with the reasons why we fight there. How many whack job protestors are protesting the Afghan war?

LOL i am in full support of you using this quote for every thread. gg! happy:

I think Noctis knows that, but what is he is trying to say is that there is NOTHING we or the media can do to bring them home right now, so why report the negative shit when all it does is get more people killed? Report something good or nthing at all so at least the troop morale can be high and they can do their job better.

85 people dead this month? Thats peanuts really.

That's more than two people a day. Stfu.

Noctis has the idea that, we should make something that is completely negative..... into something positive to feed to the masses at home. Instead of reporting about this plane acident, we should instead report on the fantastic show the USO guys put on, featuring our beloved Britney Spears.God Danm ! Report on how good this war is, and how it makes every person happy. Fuck reporting about the negative. Lets force feed the public lies in order to rally support for our gigantic mistake. !

I don't see anything weong with the quote. This unneeded loss of life should be dealt with immediatly to limit the sacrifices of good american men who are dying for another mans agenda.
