From the "Now I've seen everything" category...
I find this so un-f-ing-believable.

While searching for off-the-wall tshirts to add to my nephews collection, I came across this advertisement:

Beheading civilians, booby-trapped bodies, suicide bombers?? Sorry hippie, American lives come first.

We should be proud of our Marine. We may not know his name but we can show our support by proudly wearing this tshirt in front of as many liberals as possible.


The design is a soldier holding a gun, standing over a dead body with the following:

Support Our Marine
The God of War hates those who hesitate (I can't make out this line but this is what it looks like)
Operation Phantom Fury - Fallujah, Iraq

See picture here:

Needless to say these were not the kind of off the wall shirts I had in mind. What is wrong with some people?!!

1. Sorry, warmonger,
but we are all interrelated, all One. By behaving in this barbarous fashion, you are hurting yourself.

21. that's that good old Judeo-Christian God
"And it shall be in that day," says the Lord,
That I will cut off your horses from your midst
And destroy your chariots.
I will cut off the cities of your land
And throw down all your strongholds
I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you shall nave no soothsayers.
Your carved images I will also cut off
And your sacred pillars from your midst;
You shall no more worship the work of your hands;
I will pluck your wooden images from your midst;
Thus I will destroy your cities.
And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury
On the nations that have not heard."

Micah 5:10-15

How anyone can deny this is a "holy war" is beyond me

14. Yep, definitely dark, dark humor. Edit: I'm rethinking that.
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 09:52 PM by kayell
On edit: or maybe not - perhaps just so incredibly sick that it looks to me like satire.

19. Satire? I don't know. Maybe I don't get humour from the dark side.

12. The God of War? I thought we were Christians, not Ancient Romans.

We proclaim to be one, but act like the other.

17. great buttons!
The brain buttons outlet just doesn't seem as harsh though.

I just found that tshirt and the other stuff on the other site bizarre. Am I a biased liberal?

How long will it be until they make one with the Nick Berg or another beheading?

20. "God of War"
I read the Dick Marcinko books too. That said, I did not masturbate to them like this weenie.

They all talk a good fight. Until they get into the fight. Then they soil their nappies.

This type used to last two week tops in the dojo. It was too hard for them to really learn how to be a warrior.

23. So this is the America I live in
Beheading civilians, booby-trapped bodies, suicide bombers?? Sorry hippie, American lives come first. Terrorists don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. This Marine deserves a medal.

This hippie deserves a good ass kissing.
