**** it. I'm a veteran and I approve this message 



On Edit. This is not me. I wanted to post this picture so that people will know there are many other veterans who feel the same way.

22. On behalf of Navy Nurses everywhere, I thank you!
 Of course, it's the Hospital Corps that holds it all together. God, what a great bunch of people!
I'm a vet, too, and I most wholeheartedly approve this message!

That took balls. (Your post and the guy in the picture both)

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.

25. I am in NROTC. I won't serve within the boundaries of Iraq. When I told my DS
 (Drill Sargent, he's actually a Lieutenant who runs the NROTC program) he told me he understood and would try to help.

The Armed Forces are starving for recruits, and ones entering as officers actually have a little bit of say now an days.

28. Oh how I love that! Thank you....
 for your courage, even if you're not the dude in the picture. Thank you for your service then and your bravery now. We need you. Keep speaking truth to power. We've got your back -- you've already proven you've got ours.

I like how he took his rank insignia off.  Like he knew what was coming...

I don't get it did he take a pic down?

[mamacags]

Do you think the innocent people the guy in the picture writes about are unborn babies?  I am ashamed that American kills innocent people too.

I'm a Vet and I approve of .......(invokes the 5 th amendment here)

[NHSparky]

I'd love to see that little cocksucker walk down to the VFW dressed like that and try to pull that shit.

Little self-righteous prick looks a little like Jesse MacBeth too...I bet they butt-hump each other in the showers.

I'll stop there or I'll say what's REALLY on my mind.   

[docstew]

I like how he took his rank insignia off.  Like he knew what was coming...

and his name and combat patch are uninteligible... yeah, that takes courage

[DarkHalo]

Kinda sad how little it really takes for the cockroaches to come scurrying out of their holes like that. But they are being honest and showing their true colors for a change. If the Obamessiah wins how many nanoseconds will it be before those cowardly scumbags are openly spitting on the military again? Bunch of chicken shit bastards. I saw a post at NU long time ago where a lib was openly suggesting that to someone else. She wasnt even trying to hide it.

[TheSarge]

Stoopoid DUmmies. The ROTC tard and the idiot in the picture better hope I don't figure out who they are.

Unless it's the Obamassiah and you're an average American like Joe the plumber who just asks a question and then they'll sic the MSM on you in order to destroy your life.

I don't remember the DUmmies having a problem with the whole Silencing thing when Clinton was in office.

[DumbAss Tanker]

and his name and combat patch are uninteligible... yeah, that takes courage

I don't think he actually has a combat patch, looks like an edge view of 'current unit' on the left shoulder and the flag on the right, I can't really make out anything that looks like a piece of patch under the flag where a combat patch would be, nor does ha have a CAB or any other "Bennair-dunnat" badge.  I'm suspecting it's some ROTC kid judging by the room behind him.

[dutch508]

No name available, no rank, no unit patch...

Come on.   

[Red October]

If only "patriots" like this were in charge... then the Husseins would still rule Iraq, the Taliban would still rule Afghanistan, and no innocent people would be getting killed.  Only uneducated, blood-thirsty, un-patriotic mercenaries like me would actually be proud to take part in the GWOT.

I'm guessing that ROTC tard is more like JROTC.  And having been in college ROTC (briefly) I can pretty safely say that if I went to my instructor/advisor and said something like that, my ass would have been out of the program faster than the vapor trail could follow.

[Ralph Wiggum]

No name available, no rank, no unit patch...

Come on.   

I'm even more cynical.  It's probably just some moonbat who picked up a uniform at Army surplus store.  Of course, I will defer to my friends here who have actually been in the service.

Fun with google http://www.reddit.com/comments/1voq2/american_soldierthere_is_no_flag_large_enough_to

Here we are http://www.flickr.com/photos/63243500@N00/209371208/ i'm guessing the flickr user here is not the original poster though (some content NSWF). AND the image is "Taken on January 23, 2003"...

Link found by using the following hack on this page http://www.flickr.mud.yahoo.com/help/forum/41252/

edit: Oh, and while we're at it, the text on the flag is a quote from Historian Howard Zinn [nod to J below]. And the whole quote goes "There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people for a purpose which is unattainable." Thus ironically we find that there is no flag large enough for the whole quote! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn

I'm praying they screw up and you do. I so want to see how his vacation plans go from seeing his woman to having to spend time at Ft. Levenworth.
