10/16: Hijack this, fags

In these troubled times it is good to know that the US has stood up to show the world that it is a shining beacon of tolerance.

This picture is all over the place, and I think as many people agree with it's sentiment as disagree.

(I mean, the muslims who will be killed by that missle are clearly homosexuals, after all...)

anyone know why it says "party" on the plane?

here are a few other images I have collected over the past few days from ehowa.com

Maybe the missle is filled with cigarettes and the young enlisted gentleman wishes to help his comrades kick their habits by suggesting that the smokes be rerouted? Luring the terrorists into action.

Or maybe its just very 8th grade.

Why it says "party" - it actually says "war party" and the "war" is cropped.

The next question "Why does it say 'war party?'" I have no idea.

I can't imagine why there's so little tolerance of gays in the military. You'd think the official policy of cashiering them when they're discovered implied disapproval, or something.

If he knew that the *Taliban's* method of dealing with queers is to line them up against a tall stone wall and push the wall over on them, perhaps the ordnanceman who loaded that particular item might have chosen a different slogan.

What I want to know is how a person who can't spell "hijack" found his way into a job loading munitions on an aircraft carrier. Can he read? Is that even the type of bomb he was supposed to load?

The US military is still homophobic. Lots of gays who were "other than honorably discharged" have tried to re-up, thinking that the official stance might be different in wartime.

No luck, story is here:

Hey they're gays but they're AMERICAN gays and right now America needs all the help it can get.

These don't look real to me. Anyone can fire up photoshop and draw words on a bomb.

Hmm, does it matter though? Photoshoped or written on the bomb itself the message is the same...

I wish I could make the claim that the term was used becuase of how these fantacis would feel about being called such. But I don't think anyone, including me, would buy it.

Oh well, just one more hang-up we have to get over.

Not exactly. A message from someone with a bomb carries a different weight than one from someone armed only with Photoshop.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant that the bombs function was unchaged (it will be used exactly the same way with or without writing) and the photo's popularity isn't dependant on this being real. I've seen the pic of the stealth with an amusing statement on the underside of the wings all over the web and it's obviously fake.
The bomb will fall, and we'll chuckle or be offended by the bomb quote's regardless.

But in this case it's an AP photo, which means that the chance of it being faked is damn near zero.

oh.    :)
