Good god, the idiot marine who put the US flag on the Saddam statue

[karlschneider]

threw the first pitch at a Mets game today (just on Wolfie's show). They're treating this insensitive prick like a hero.
:puke: :puke:

2. He's just a regular marine as far as I am concerned

Plopping a flag on a statue does not make one a hero.

3. Nothing to worry about.

It's only the Mets.

4. So they let him come home, huh?

Why is he so special?

5. not to defend him, but...

I thought he was ordered to do so by his C.O. I think that is what he, himself, claimed. Of course that doesn't change the fact that this is celebrating an insensitive and foolish act.

6. the "prick's" actually from my high school

he didn't graduate and i was years ahead of him. nevertheless, he's a drop-out. i have freeper alumni who think he's done good for the school. i don't hate the guy or anything because he signed up for the military and he was obligated by the administration to go to iraq. but to equate him with having "done good" for the school is laughable and really demeaning to my old high school.

i wish him well for all his future endeavors because he's a young guy and he and i do have something in common. i just wish for his sake and for my alma mater's sake that he can accomplish better things than this in the future.

7. he should have been reprimanded not rewarded....geez...

un-freakin-believable!!!

8. What a sad time to be alive

We are witnessing the death of a great nation brought on by the religion of a few rich white assholes.

If there was a god, none of these pricks would have survived being born (the first time)
