@atschtein

Dann wünsch ich dir mein herzlichstes Beileid.

Für den Krieg oder dagegen, is egal, aber dennoch sollte man wenigstens zu seinen eigenen Landsleuten halten.

R.I.P.

You're a piece of shit wetback and a disrespectful little cunt. America fights for people who can't fight for themselves. Show some respect for America's fallen soldiers. I'm not an American but I say God Bless America with all my heart.

@blackealge1980 Ich will es mal so sagen: " Ich befürworte auf keinen Fall in jeglicher art einen Krieg, doch ich stehe hinter jedem einzelnen soldaten und hinter jeder soldatin die für ihr Land und für das an das sie glauben kämpfen. Anfang August 2011 werde ich selber meiner Verflichtung bei der Bundeswehr über einen zeitraum von 9-12 Jahren antreten. Das einzigste was ich mir dafür wünsche ist das ich nie in die Situation kommen möchte auf einen Menschen schießen zu müsen den ich würde es tun
