Rag-head bump...

And they use the term "Crusader" to dehumanize us..."Non-Believer" also comes to mind.

I like it. It beats Raghead, Towelhead and Camel Jockey, and it's infinitely better than very unpolitically correct "sand nigger" that I have heard used some 20 years ago....

My nephew in Baghdad says they are not allowed to use the term. He slipped up and used it and was told about it so when any officer is around the guys use the term " 'Raqi's" instead.

Indeed this term is used by just about every one of the soldiers I've met who has returned from Iraq. It is not meant as disrespect, just an easy term to describe the otherwise nameless mass they drive past everyday.

ON a similar note, I have a neighbor who served with Saudi and Kuwaiti doctors in the first Gulf War. He was referred to as "Infidel" and "Unbeliever" on a daily basis by his gracious hosts, who were no doubt expressing their gratitude to him for his service saving their country(s) from the armies of Saddam. (sarcasm indeed)

As a conscientious objector, Balaban did alternative service in Vietnam.

Oh B.S.....the only conscientious objectors who served in Vietnam were Combat Medics in the Army...I knew some fine ones...real heros...the kind of guys who go through mine fields and brave enemy machine gun fire to pull back their wounded...more than a few got themselves killed trying..This guy was no combat medic and therefore did NO Alternative Service in Vietnam What a crock and what a liar

"It makes it easier to kill these people and not feel bad about it."

Lets see they murder torture rape and kill their own...never mind what happend to our female POWs (compared to the compassionate treatment we have extened to them) Now this moron thinks that its "easier to kill and not feel bad bout it" so we dehumanize them.. Hey man ...whatever it takes for OUR guys to get home safe and sound...and if you think making up pet names or derogatory names makes it easier to live with it all ten years after..you ought to try it sometime you phony cry baby..

They have names for us ..we have names for them...big deal...that's life bubba haolie honky

Hajji aint so bad...after all that was the name of Jeannie's (Barb Eden) buddy on "I Dream of Jeannie"

[DAPFE8900]

Oh lord we really done it now! We have made a new ethnic slur...YOu know the Liberals hate that more then anything else! I say any soldier caught saying racial slurs needs to be executed on the spot. Oh or they need seeensitivy training!
