Oozy, just a quick question.
I realize that the US military has indeed caused A LOT of civilian casualities and it cannot be denied.
What about suicide bombers who attack PURELY civilians targets? Suicide bombers who target areas wherein US military units are absolutely NOT PRESENT? What is your opinion on this?
Example: A suicide commando bombs a nursery school, with no US soldiers in that specific target.
Consequence = Schoolchildren die. US army/marines stay chilling back in camp.

That sealed it, for me. Oozy, I KNOW what rock you crawled out from under. I don't know what country you live in now, but I'm willing to bet it ain't the USA, because I'm relatively sure you're on one of those "lists" of folks that don't make it past customs without a visit to the crossbar hotel.
I live in New Zealand
Yeah sure arrest me for expressing my views, I guess freedom of speech only applies when it is on the power's side. I hope you understand that
US professional soldiers target MILITARY personnel, including your precious "freedom fighters". If civilians are being used as shield by your "brave warriors", they die too.
So they say, and Al-Qaeda says they don't target civilians.
Al Qaeda No. 2: We don't kill innocents
And what about the drone attacks:
Fourteen Iraqis were reported killed and five injured early yesterday morning after an American war plane obliterated a family house in the north of the country. The military said it was a mistake.
Were civilians being taken as human shields?
In contrast, your "holy warriors" target CIVILIANS, and if a WARRIOR is in the way, he dies too.
That is something you have to prove:
Al Qaeda No. 2: We don't kill innocents
BIG damn difference. The only military target on 9-11 was the Pentagon, and most of those fellows (but not all) are just "chairborne commandos", and thus not much of a threat.
ATS is still cautious to blame Al-Qaeda for the attacks.
In the WTC, 50,000 CIVILIANS were targetted. Maybe your intel told you it was a seething nest of Rangers and Special Forces disguised as civilians, eh?
And we are still investigating the attacks. New York citizen filled a petition you should know that
That was a PATHETIC attempt at propaganda, accidentally targetted at an audience that is accustomed to THINKING.
Propaganda, nothing I wrong was propaganda, since you are accusing me of such you need to prove it
I'm acquainted with an older generation of mujahideen. Men with honor, unlike the current crop. I can think of NO instance in which those men intentionally targetted civilians. Not so with your current "holy warriors".
The older generation of mujahideen served America's purpose, the new generation doesn't. That is why the propaganda against them. See it is very simple but people seem it is complicated. How can you start an unjustified war? By demonizing your enemy, and that is what America has done. In your head the Jihadists are some sort of demons who want to take over the world and kill who ever doesn't convert to Islam.
THEY are cowards. THEY choose to fight those whom they hope can't fight back.
So many people call them cowards but the truth is that they are the only one fighting the worlds most powerful nation. Common, get real. Are you living in a dream world? Not even Russia has the balls to step against the Great Almighty US.
Your fathers were MUCH better men, and I wish they had raised you better. I reckon they were too busy killing enemy SOLDIERS to give you the attention you needed.
Our fathers fought for the same cause, to get rid of foreign occupiers and their sons are doing the same thing. The only difference is that our fathers were fighting your enemy, see at this point I could call you guys cowards for letting the mujahideen do the fighting, the same mujahideen who are fighting America right now.

I was a Soldier who fought in Iraq, and by all means your entitled to your opinion. Now let me tell you mine, dont come crying to people like me when the boogeyman (feds or jihdist come looking for you.) I fought these men, they stand for oppression of women, rule by terror, the stand for spreading ISLAM worldwide. So if you want to honor these men, I will put you in there column.
By no means am I standing for the corruption known as the US goverment, I wouldnt piss on any of them if they were on fire (yes the beloved messiah included) the goverment goes in that category along with the Jidist, bankers, corperate greed, far left loons, far right loons, and now you.
Thank you for your service and I 100% agree with you.
Why would you want to honor individuals who load themselves up with TNT, walk into a coffee shop, and blow up 40-50 innocent people just due to a religious difference.
Why not have a moment of silence for those responsible for 9/11 as well...
