Yeah, right. The photos of dead American soldiers hanging from lamp posts and being burned are so much better (bitter sarcasm warning). People need to lose the whole political correctness thing, and fast. This is a war we’re fighting here, not some emasculated police action bullshit. Our enemies want to see us dead, period. Our troops in harm’s way need to get the green light to return the sentiment. Total warfare and total commitment to achieving that goal is the only way we’ll end this.
Phony outrage from a phony “Christian” president who has awfully light colored tan-lines.
Nothing genuine about this man or his message.
A real President would find these soldiers, grab a box full of medals, jump on a plane and publicly decorate the soldiers.
This PC crap has to end. The way to make it end is through bold actions without apologies. Leaders are respected because of strength, not weakness, second guessing and mushy opinions.
The only thing I see reprehensible about any of this, is Obama, his damn administration and the traitors in the news media.
Soldiers condemn White House
You can only put the lid on a boiling pot so long before it behaves in a way opposite of what you are trying to achieve.
All of this stuff wasn't happening before they handcuffed us with these ridiculous ROE's. I wish some of our courageous generals would connect the dots and drop retirement papers over it...but that won't happen.
When the leaders of the Taliban and other Islam
terror organizations see pictures of their fighters
with the remnants of jews and other victims, they
do not say it’s “reprehensible”, they cheer.
I’d like to see pictures of troops cutting the hearts out of terrorists and stomping on them.
Also, when is something going to be done about the Iranian source that manufactures the road side bombs that contributed to the American Troops portrayed in the ‘Wounded Warrior’ commercials? These sources need to be eliminated before there are any more American Troops Wounded. It’s truly reprehensible nothing is being done.
I saw a suicide bomber off himself and the only recognizable part was his head. Wish I had kept a picture to send to obama/
I was watching WWII in Color and they showed a German Soldier getting mowed down when he was trying to escape capture. He was unarmed BTW.
Two GI’s just turned around, saw the dude get it, and went back to smoking their cigarettes. War is hell.
Now wonder kids can't even play with toy guns anymore without some Libtard getting their panties in a wad.
I’ll tell you what’s reprehensible: our President eating a golden retriever.
Winner of Westminster Dog Show has replaced Kobe beef on the WH menu.
The White House should condemn the newspapers that published these photos.
I could show them some from about 45 years ago. War is Hell
“Way too many!”
Clearly.
I was just wondering what a ballpark number would look like.
...in photos that purport to show U.S. troops posing with the bodies of dead insurgents in Afghanistan is 'reprehensible'
