Ok, theres' the photo and caption for the story, and the story itself.

This is a test, which of you can tell me what is wrong with this article?

Never mind the article, why is that soldier walking in the sand unarmed in front of a moving tank!? Is he crazy!? Well, I'm assuming that the tank is moving with all the sand dust blowing around it. All it takes is one fall and he'll be roadkill. As for the tank, I think it looks like an Abrams.

AHH, VERY good!!

Excellent.

That is NOT a Bradley fighting vehicle, a bradley is NOT a tank, that is indeed an M1A3 Abrams main battle tank.

Very good, my faith in you guys is indeed justified.

My faith in the media however....

Why is Fallujah still standing?

This is what I keep talking about. Its the goddamn media. They never should have been allowed inside Iraq, the military should have its own news release.

At the beginning of the war we should have given Fallujah residents a week to leave the city, and then pounded it into the dust with whatever we have, B-52's, arty strikes, I don't give a damn. Make Fallujah an example of what happens when American contractors are murdered.

Highlander, that sounds awful harsh but it's also the facts of life.

It's the same principal as disciplining a dog. If it takes a leak in the house and you smack it...it's going to learn to pee outside, like it's supposed to! If you show people the way it's going to be and the consequences then they'll figure it out.

You can't just ask them nicely. Actions speak louder then words imo.

In a sense I agree with highlander, but I also disagree

I agree that we should've hit them first, and I agree that it was a serious mistake in bring in the media

But think about it, would you have rather gotten you're news from Al-jazera?

Personally, when we got attacked on the 11th, I believed the president should've authorized the use of nuclear weapons and dropped several nukes in Afgan and then perhaps Iraq

This continued "Geniva Convention" is just going to get us KILLED if we keep it
