Marines Warned: Don't Spit Towards Mecca

Uncle Sam is getting a little weird. Make that a lot weird. Having dumped hundreds of billions of dollars into a sinkhole called Afghanistan--populated by misogynistic, pederastic, tribalistic and religiously supremacist primitives--to no avail, he has hit on a new plan for winning those ever-elusive Afghan ''hearts and minds.'' (snip) When nature calls, Uncle Sam has decided he wants every U.S. Marine equipped with a map and compass, or some other way of knowing direction. This is to ensure that no U.S. Marine in Afghanistan urinates in the direction of Mecca ever again. Now, there's a winning strategy.

Oh, not the way the founders meant it -- but the Left would go ballistic if the government required all soldiers to cross themselves when passing a Catholic Church.

To me, directing soldiers not to spit toward Mecca is basically in the same category.

The simplicity of your position is an elegance of thought. It is exactly as you state and can not be refuted. Sir, you are correct!

Just purely for the sake of academic interest, this iPhone app will point you in the direction of Mecca:

“Is it ok for the Army to spit, pee, poop, phart belch and point their boots in the direction of Mecca?”

Apparently not! Our military has to put up with so much petty BS PC crap, its not funny.

Nuke Mecca?

And destroy the black rock they call the Cabbage?

Lord Jesus, forbid !!!

We're fighting Islamic perverts, so let's not offend their
Make believe piety

And you must stand on one foot and hop up and down while defecating or Allah will be mightily offended.

I suspect the administration does this in part to demoralize the military.

I've had the honor and pleasure of working with Marines and I can pretty much guarantee you that after this edict was issued, there has been a noticeable uptick (albeit it somewhat clandestine) in spitting and other such heartfelt gestures with great gusto in the general direction of Mecca. :-)

You go first,

I dunno how well I could do that..........

Uncle Sam is dead and Uncle Abdul knows best according to obama.

Our Secretary of State will demonstrate for us. She is most expert at pandering to Mooselimbs.

It is a religious observance isn't it? And they are mandating that Marines must participate in it.

I'm sure the last thing a serving Marine wants to do is file suit against the gov for violating his civil rights but someone sure as he!! should. This is so un-American I can't even think of words that express my outrage.

To make it worse; on a previous thread about this a FReeper vet of Afghanistan said it's a crock that any muzzie there has any regard for what direction they whizz in. There was also something about table fricking manners that was in this edict and he said that was a crock too. That this is just the muzzies messing with our troops heads and the brass fell for it like bumpkins at their first carnival.

I need to see if there is some sort of Android App that utilizes my phone’s GPS and compass so that I can always piss in the direction of Mecca. If there isn’t maybe I can create one, charge $2 a pop for it and retire.

[blueplum]

Submitting to dhimmihood effectively forces me to deny my faith in God for a man-made idol. No can do, Top. Ain’t happenin’

[tal hajus]

I’ll be glad to piss that direction for you.

[tal hajus]

Used it and left appropriate comment.

Hey, I've been aiming at Mecca for years, but now with Obama's help... they are fighting back!

My brother Barack's Roto-Rooter Outreach Program is showning progress... Allahu Akbar!
