I have mixed feelings. My original reaction was that the bastards involved in Sept. 11 and other anti-American stuff are faggots. But that denotes a homosexual lifestyle, which I do not believe all of them live. So I just call them bastards. This is still childish name-calling, I realize, but I could really care less at this point in time.

On the other hand, why are our armed forces too stupid to spell a relatively common six-letter word correctly? It portrays a bad image.

Just my thoughts.

Actually, a "Faggot" is a stick used for starting a wood fire. A "bastard" is a child born to an unmarried woman.

Since alQueda were "burned" in Afganistan, the Navy is correct in calling them faggots.
