BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday called photos of German soldiers in Afghanistan playing with a skull "shocking and disgusting," and Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung said those involved will be dealt with harshly.
One image was published on the cover of the national tabloid Bild, under the words "Schock Fotos."

The Emperor for president. That's about as conservative as you can get.

Mike: If you are shocked by that I have some real shockers, dead VC, still smoking cigarettes, I have a picture of me getting a hair cut from the father of a VC that my squad had killed the night before, GI humor is GI humor, It is not politically correct.

That comment doesn't really tell me anything about Germans ...It does tell me something about the sort of person who would make it, though. Yes, perhaps it does. I was threatened in Germany and once told "Auslander Raus!". My father-in-law peeled potatoes for the Wehrmacht as a young child and had to tolerate being called a kinderschwein...
They have made some enemies in Europe.

I would say the Imperium, but only because I would put up with a ton of crap just to get some of that Terminator armor. Dems I would say are disciples of Slaanesh. The Greens are basically the Eldar, because they both hate humans. And Islamofascism would basically be the Orks.

Well, that explains your anti-German stance here.

I don't think anyone would have a problem with it if it was bin Laden's skull.

I wouldn't consider myself very anti-German, as I have also met some very nice Germans. I am more pro-Israel. :-)
I spend a lot of time with family members who were brutalized by the Wehrmacht in Europe by the Germans, so as you can imagine, my opinions may have been slightly colored.
I was once in a conversation with a German lady in Mazuren, who was going on and on about how terrible Mazuren looked now that the Poles had it and how lovely it would all be if the Germans could get it back from those filthy Polish Untermenschen... etc.
Some people never learn.

Interesting analysis. Slaneesh is greed right? That makes sense. Dems are the ultimate greedy bastards.
Eldar are to noble to be Green. Besides, all Green is is watermelons. The simplemindedness of the Orks fit well but their obsession is with war. They are not religious at all.
So without the armor, would you prefer Tau?

Of course, where else can you shock someone into catatonia by simply saying "I am your father"? :)

GI humor is GI humor, It is not politically correct. Exactly, this is mild, except for the PC MSM crowd.

As you know very well, this story was posted yesterday. Give it a rest.
