Justme accused me of waving a mexican flag on a tank while I was serving in iraq based on the pictures on my yahoo 360, funny but she confused an Iraqi Army BMP with an American Tank and confused the Iraqi Flag with a Mexican flag. People didn't even bother looking at my pictures to see if it was true they just assumed I did because she said I did and said some pretty nasty things, well what's funny is that we've been at war with Iraq for 4 years and she can't even identify the Iraqi Flag, she can't even tell that that's an Iraqi Army BMP, why don't you educate yourself before you do accusations, oh here's her question if you like to see it and what people said about it, you are all trully ignorant

There are some on here who try their very best to insult degrade and flame everyone "Not on their side" Think of a two year old throwing a fit. Check out my question I have yet to get answer. Just insults. You are an intelligent person from what I've seen don't let them get to you. Stand up for what you believe and let the others play their games.

I just now found this question or remark of yours and thought i would respond. I am very sorry that someone who obviously didn't know what they were talking about created such a mess. I try to keep up with what goes on over there and am a member of mysoldier.com. I fully support our troops and have only the highest respect for all of you. I don't support our government at the time because i personally think that Bush is a joke,...a bad joke at that. That is just my opinion,...so allow me that. I don't know how you feel about illegal aliens in our country but i don't agree with them marching the streets of our country, waving the Mexican flag and demanding that they have the same rights as any legal American citizen. I cant imagine going to Mexico and marching their streets waving the American flag and demanding anything,...probably be shot or something...don't know. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that i am sorry that someone acted in such a manner and that i agree it was wrong. I have no problem with any immigrant from any country that are here legally,...i do have a problem with the ones that are here illegally,..no matter what country they are from. From reading your message i gather that you were or still are a soldier, If so then let me say thank you for risking your life in order to help ours,......Hoorah!!!

First thank you for your service to the US. Second, she does not sound anti-illegal. Looks to be maybe a more anti-war and figures the best to "protest" is to insult and accuse soldiers.
Most liberals will change their tune when another attack happens here in the US and links are found to Iraqi oil funds and the attackers.

She surely should have checked things out better before she condemned you. I for one am totally proud of you for serving America in Iraq. Just ignore the people who don't even bother to learn before they deem themselves better than everyone else. Good life to you!

What does not being able to distinguish a BMP from a tank (trust me, in the civilian world, any military vehicle that is big and has a gun, is referred to as a "tank".) have to do with not wanting illegal immigrants in the country.
Does the one somehow have something to do with the other?
The answer of course, is no.

The two of you seem to have somesorta personal issue, but to call the rest of us ANTI-ILLEGALS ignorant is well IGNORANT. Your right she did make a mistake, so you're going to bash everyone else. I don't agree with illegal immigration. I'm all for legal. Get off your high horse, and get over it.

lolol ... how ignorant is that ... I can well understand you're pissed off, but try not to generalize about all anti illegals ... I can assure you most of us would know the flags when we see them, and I've seen your pictures before ... and very nice they are too ... however sad, the particular anti illegal person who came up with this rant deserves a slap, and you deserve an apology ....
