Google has let me down... anyone know what the furor was all about?

Anybody have a link to a decent copy that could be printed up, perhaps in a .jpg or even .pdf? That ad rules.

If bad guys use a church, mosque, etc for cover, it's no longer a religious building and it's not a valid target. Something we'll never get over, I swear.

My only question is why the fvck does Boeing care about this? I mean, let's be honest for a motherfvcking nanosecond here. Why should Boeing care what a pious Muslim in Michigan cares about how their product is used? Foreign Islamic nations, who might have the slightest of inclinations to buy American military wares, are generally more concerned about their own asses than any semblance of Muslim solidarity, otherwise, mighty Islam as a whole whouldn't be such a huge cluster fvck. I say, Boeing ought to go on the offensive and not cower to the ridiculous political pressures being brought to bear. Guess what: You wanna fight from a mosque, stand by to meet your maker.

That is all,

Brett

You know the real answer, Brett. Com'on back to the PC world. Live in it. And hate it.

I want to keep shooting until there is no movement from the target. Where were you and all the rest when we needed you in Vietnam .... ??? :icon_mi_1

Truthfully, I was five, but I was a mean, vengeful SOB.

BTW, went shooting for the first time in a while today. Feels good!

I need a poster of that ad.

Probably not as big as we'd all like, but bigger than the others I've see so far...

I LOVE this:

"An ad for Bell's AH-1Z attack helicopter shows the craft rising out of a flaming background heavily armed with missiles. The headline reads: "We made it beautiful. Because it's the last thing some people will ever see."
