I've seen people post stuff like that underneath a picture of our soldiers pissing on dead Afghanis or a picture of a dismembered middle eastern child. It means nothing to a lot of people nowadays which goes to show how desensitized a lot of people are to this, which is a sad state of affairs we live in.

It's going to get real ugly this spring & summer.

Hopefully Congress w/ Dr.Paul can make a push to bring our troops back sooner than planned.

Can't disagree with that.
