supercar Posted September 3, 2007 Author #76 Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Well looks like I struck a nerve here. People wouldn't have reacted so strongly if they didn't think there was some truth in my original post. the epitome of right wing propaganda at it's finest !!!!!! Basically telling people what to think No you're the one trying to tell people how to think. lol do you hear an echo in that cave ? hey maybe actually the original post by supercar is a Jihadist post acting like a right winger denouncing liberal views to ensnare the sheeple just to keep the war going to keep America broke and it's military stretched thin America is broke? WRONG. Stretched thin? There are 2.6 million soldiers in the United States military. There are 162,000 American soldiers in Iraq. That means 7% of the United States military is in Iraq. 7% doesn't sound like the military is being 'stretched'. So are you saying that anyone who has a diffrent opnion on the war than you is a jihadist Nope. Unlike most people on this forum,I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. And I'm not the only peson here who thinks Jihadists may have infiltrated the forum: Propaganda is part of any war, the chances of some Jihadist are in the forum is very likely. Personally, I really wouldn't doubt that it is happening Yes.....on a regular/daily basis. It would be naive of anyone to think that this doesn't go on....especially on a popular forum like UM.

supercar Posted September 3, 2007 Author #78 Share Posted September 3, 2007 show me proof of 2.6 million soldiers?...i say they have closer to 1.4 million Wrong again. 'Approximately 1,426,713 personnel are currently on active duty in the military with an additional 1,259,000 personnel in the seven reserve components' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Military Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Umbarger Posted September 3, 2007 #79 Share Posted September 3, 2007 i say they have closer to 1.4 million...That would make it right around 14%. (I'm not doing the hard math here, just ballpark figures). Just over one in eight is not "stretched thin". A little of a strain maybe but, stretched thin? nah. I seem to remember that the U.S. had around 2,600,000 under arms too. I can't remember where I saw it but, I do remember reading it. Nonetheless, let's not quivel over exact numbers.

dantheman2435 Posted September 3, 2007 #81 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hey, you guy's, I'm a Jihadist Terrorist posing as a forum member, ect. ect.

Lord Umbarger Posted September 3, 2007 #82 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It's important to note here that shear numbers under arms really means nothing. Superior weapons, training and communication are what make the difference. Does anyone here really believe that Iran has us out matched in those three things? Besides, not that I mind but, what does any of this have to do with subversives on the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say their training is about equal, it's certainly not something the US army is most renowned for, at least not most troops. People often fight better when they have no choice, like when their homeland is being ruined by external aggression.

Grandpa Greenman Posted September 3, 2007 #86 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Well if the Jihadists weren't getting on popular wed forums I would be surprised. So far it is a relatively free internet, Jihadists can say what they want. I really don't need any help with my politics, I perfectly able to think for myself.

Reincarnated Posted September 3, 2007 #96 Share Posted September 3, 2007 If you really think Jihadists are "infiltrating" UM, stop being a coward and do something about it. Call Homeland Security already. You can't let the terrorists win, show America that you are a true patriot! Until then, you are not doing your duty as a citizen.
