Pity for them their special effects skills were so crap. And the fact that they didn't count on a simple US soldiery roll-call enabling US forces to effectively call their bluff.

My sentiments exactly. Not to mention that I thought it was so stupid that it made the whole thing kind of funny.
It bothers me to see people getting their undies tangled over the thread's title and content. Our soldier's are over there dying to protect the freedom of speech you know. I have a friend deployed in Baghdad right now and I'd bet anything that seeing the links and stories above would make him chuckle too.
