Well those of you who think it's CORRECT to go maliciously and destroy personal things, that are important to other people, are what's wrong with this country.
You might as well go out and run over your kids tricycle, or their favorite dog or better yet.....take the favorite & cherished book of one of your kids....and shoot the hell out of it.
It's not the actual ' thing' be it a Quran or a Bible...it's the act of being so inconsiderate and dumbazz in your behavior is appalling.
That soldier KNEW better & saying that he didn't is a LAME and STUPID excuse.....no one, with an IQ above -4, in this whole wide world would think destroying a religious book is correct?
IF this soldier DIDN'T know that what he was shooting at WAS a ' holy book' of the country that we've been at war with for 6 years and he's actually IN that country and prob has been there a number of months ,at least, already, has heard the call to prayers & see the mosques all around, then he's too stupid to be a soldier!!!
We're ' supposed' to be over there to show them the wonderful ways of democracy , the USA and how life can be better NOW....and then we thru the acts of one person basically go and crap on something that their whole world revolves around.!!!! :roll: :roll:
And now, the people who DO know better are left behind to clean up the mess as they've trucked that guys azz outta there for his own safety!!!
And ya know what, they looks at us, the Western world, just as most of you look at the Eastern world, " seen one , seen'em all as they're all the same" So our actions are under scrutiny just as much as theirs are to us.
Way to go!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:
