Yes, that is my understanding. I dont think its funny at all. In fact, I think it shows how fucking retarded our military is if our troops are going around a town they just shot up and posing civilians like war trophies while making sick and crude jokes. Im all for giving our countrys military the benefit of the doubt, but its circumstances like this, combined with stories of POWs being brutalized and videos of taxicabs being run over by some fucked up tank crew that are displaying a negative and cruel image of our country. Our nations leader told the world that we were going in to remove Saddam from power, that we were helping the Iraqi population by bringing them freedom. I truly believed that and I knew the WMD story was bullshit from the get go. But its shit like this that make me second guess this hole charade. Im starting to think that we should never have gotten involved at all if our troops are behaving like this. Its really shameful if this turns out to be a real photograph.

I can understand where you are coming from , but you do know that the average statistics for an American soldier is:
Age: 19
Sex: Male
And fresh out of High School.
I don't know many Teenagers that are very mature, especially when it comes to a joke.
As a vet myself I can assure you ALL soldiers take thier jobs seriously, but in certain situations a bit of comic relief goes a long way.
I highly doubt the picture was taken for public viewing or by anyone other than the soldiers buddy. It is one mans joke shared by him and his close friends and not grounds to judge any armed force or group of soldiers by.

[quote="Bullitt Tooth":32afc][quote=Madmartagen]I hope its fake, thats really fucked up and now im wondering if thats the attitude our soldiers have towards the Iraqi population. If anyone is certain it is photoshopped, im hoping they can point it out, because I think it looks genuine. I saw it on cj and they usually say whether it is photoshopped or not.[/quote] you should see the video where the soldiers cheer on a guy shooting an iraqi[/quote:32afc]

Fuck that terroist... terroists get no "treatment" in my book. That guy was in the process of placing an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) and ready to ambush THOSE Marines that killed him. I don't know the entire story about this "Iraqi" but it said on that site that he was in the process of setting up an IED...

jesus they obviously gave the sign to the kid as a fucking gag. Lighten up for petes sake most of you guys are crying like a bunch of sisys during then end scene to Pretty Woman. If you guys cant look at a gag pic then I find it pretty hard how you make it through your daily lives without crying for:
Birds and fish that get their heads stuck in pop holders
Starving africans
starving south americans
starving americans
cows
chickens
Fucking lighten up you pussies
