This Pork Eating Crusader Patch Is A Huge Hit With Troops In Afghanistan

With tensions at an all time high in Afghanistan following the Koran burnings, the urination video, and the killing of 16 civilians attention is now falling on a long line of "Infidel" apparel and gear.

Exhausted from how they feel they're being perceived, troops have taken to wearing patches and carrying items that label themselves infidels and offer translation in local dialect.

In the Muslim world an infidel means literally "one without faith" who rejects the central teachings of Islam.

Amazing how the hypocritical DUmbasses, who constantly trash Christianity, are bending over backwards trying to defend Islam and talking about how intolerant a f'n patch it.  ::)

36. That's not a US soldier in the pic there.

He's German. And since he's got no ISAF patch, he's almost certainly NOT in Afghanistan.

But please, continue with the story.

That these are German troops and not American troops? We have enough PR issues without having American soldiers being lumped in with this type of behavior.

40. BOGUS and misleading story. The 'Businessinsider' article has yet

to withdraw the article or include any disclaimers. Even worse, none of the handful of commenters have even noticed that the photo does NOT depict US military personnel.  

This may turn into a "Best of DU" thread.

47. The patches are obviously marketed in English to American troopsand the vendor says they are very popular. If our troops are urinating on dead Afghans, shooting their dogs in the face, shooting and burning their families, I don't have much trouble believing they would buy

72. Actually, it is now in abeyance (2011).

In any case, German conscripts couldn't be sent into conflicts against their will, so it's a moot point.

Real facts rather than nadin ones quoted back at her...naturally she'll acknowledge the small mistake and move on...

73. Well it is not moot since troops don't get a vote

Of where they deploy.

This they volunteered crap is ignorant at best of the very real economic draft we have.

To translate - my mistake got found out, so I'll get aggressive and change the terms of the argument.

Bit in the meantime, perhaps we should add expert on the German Military to her resume.

shooting their dogs in the face

Poor, stupid Beth! The muzzies' prophet, the pedophile muhammed, ordered them to kill all dogs.

Dogs are unclean, to be killed on sight by any muzzie.

Poor, poor, stupid Beth! The DUmbest person on all the internets!

I'll bet those cursed American Marines were stealing the muzzies' Easter hams, too.
