Crikey! I cannot believe any of you Yanks would spend more than one minute pursuing this "issue".
Sheesh... you are at WAR, for crying in a bucket!
So a Marine wrote and sung a song that makes fun of your enemy, and it's in bad taste and is guaranteed to offend the enemy. And it's not even a particularly talented performance, but it *has* been captured for Posterity by Reuters, for all to see...
Crikey! Call out the National Guard, for this is surely a crisis!
What would these wowsers do with the WW-II Donald Duck classic "Der Fuherer's Face"? "Just Damn... now we've gone and offended the Nazis. Lawsuits pending..."
I say, offend your enemy just as hard as you like, as often as you can, with maximum offense intended. That's what enemies are for. Hurt their feelings with impunity: they started it. They drove planes into your buildings and murdered 3,000 of your countrymen. Nobody asked them to do that: they volunteered. And they are unrepentant.
So go ahead: be offensive and rude to them. No worries.
These are folks who used dull knives to saw off the heads of your countrymen, and filmed it, and plastered it all over the Internet. It's perfectly OK to offend them, they deserve it.
Amen!
This is the most ridiculous tempest-in-a-teapot I have seen in a long time. The political correctness meter is off the scale.
Grow up, America...
Well said!
