If it was up to me, I`d close this thread down. I`d like to say its a good pic. But I dont think it is becouse of the messege in it.  I find this pic offencive.
I dont want t speek of politics here to get off topic. But I will say this:
Please, close this thread.

I have friends very dear to me that has been effected by the war in the middle east. I find this pic highly offencive.

There, now you got me upset.


I strongly oppose the war in Iraq, I do not agree with some of the decisions made by my government (both Democrats, and republicans, and it doesn't bother me when someone tells me I'm wrong. BUT, one thing that pisses me off the most is when the heroism and patriotism of our troops (no matter what nationality) goes unappreaciated and criticized. They flipping risk their lives so you may keep yours, and you find their sacrifice as offensive.

I agree with storm,although i dont exactly oppose the war i believe that our troops are fighting every day,puuting there lives on the line so that you can live a normal life. I have very good friends over in iraq,i get letters frequntly from them,and one thing that really stuck out to me when i got there last letter was. That when people criticize them or say that they arnt doing enough and could do better,there spirits really drop. They are doing it for there country and not to be criticized or said that a pic of an American flag with a jet and tank is offensive,which is the last thing that should be being criticized,i mean its a picture not a huge political view that says really off color things ya know. Just my thoughts and im not being political just this is how i feel along with buddies of mine in iraq. Im sure blkhwk was trying to support our trops,and they need it,not to be brought down by meaningless comments.

The friends of mine are not american troops, but come from the countries where American troops are in. Like Iraq, Where a friends father was killed, after american troops went in. I dont say I critizise USA, but I think they shouldn`t go into other coutries without asking the coutries inhabitants first. I do feel for the american troops in Iraq, becouse it is not thire fault, its the american governments fault.

This is what I feel. I think this disussion should end, since it has nothing to do with Flight Sim or Edited pics. If you want to discuss politics and such, PM me, Id be glad to do that then.
