Man I hope he gets an infection and dies.Not really. Contrary to popular(?) belief, soldiers don't exactly walk around stateside with weapons, let alone loaded. SF/SP/MP whatever the army calls it does, but they're not likely to be hanging out in a deployment readiness area. Link to post Share on other sites

And believes in God? Doesn't mean this was a 'jihad'.I mean come on, just because I yell "baruch atah adonai eloheynu melech ha'olam" while we're in a banking transaction doesn't necessarily mean you're getting ripped off. Just...probably. Link to post Share on other sites
