They say that all the video games these kids play helps their eye-hand coordination. Why not sent the kid to Iraq to shoot radical muslims. It would be a turkey shoot for the kid.

Thank the good Lord theirs still some people around that want to defend our way of life instead of complain and bitch. You can bet these panty wastes won’t stand up for them selves or their country. You shouldn’t have the right to talk until you’ve stood up for your country chicken s__t! Yes I mean you - Silver Dollar - tiniert1

You are not only a jerk, you are also a coward.
You are not even good enough to be a doormat for this brave boy.

Even with all the anti-war talk going on, those code pink bashing military left and right, etc..., it just is nice to see that some people still know that it is an honor to serve.

Goes to show that sometimes the children have more sense than the adults.

This is the SECOND one of these I've read in the past 2 weeks. www.blackfive.net has the other one.
