Sick joke. There may be many professional soldiers, but many are not. Young men looking for work, drop-outs from school, etc.. Many are enlisting because the Army promises college education, etc.. after their tour of duty..

RT: "If you’re found to have illegal weapons, or even more seriously, a grenade, you’ll be arrested on the spot and charged with terrorism." And, what a wonderful term "terrorism" is for America. Under the guise of fighting "terrorism", the Americans can can kill and terrorize the Iraqi people at will. One day, the nonwhites become the majority in America and they will use the terms "terrorist" and "war on terror" to justify their suppression of white Americans. The chickens will come home to roost.

Sure the joke would be funny if it worked both ways.....What is it about Anglos that they have such a hard time with the hypocrisy concept? I guaranty you if an Iraqi put a dummy grenade in an American's Humvee no one would be laughing...or if a soldier did it to another soldier? he'd probably get 'cuffed & stuffed' and rightly so.... I don't understand the mindless Iraqis copying this stupid humor, either.
