Thank you for the apology for coming on strong. It shows you're not just trolling for a reaction.

I agree with you that sometimes it seems America gets picked on by the media, but you have to admit lately the U.S military has been making some bonehead mistakes. This sergeant going berserk, the dumbass Marines with the SS signal on thier flag, and pissing on the bodies of thier enemy.

I'm not slamming the military, I myself am a former Marine and an Army brat. I was around or in the military from before I was born until my late 20's. Most of the members on this forum are former or current military of various countries. I'm not sure how many have combat experience, I don't. We have ALL done something stupid at one time or another, but there's a difference between stupid and illegal. Yes, I know using the Nazi SS symbols isn't illegal, but to associate the Marine Corps with a bunch of murdering hooligans? For that is what the SS will always be seen as.

This is one of the best forums I've ever been a member of, even if some of us are a little hardheaded. Welcome to the group, I'm sure you'll make valuable contributions.
