Everyone,

I think this picture says it all. Makes it pretty damned clear what our men in uniform in Iraq think about Kerry (and who they are voting for). I just got this from a buddy of mine in Iraq.

Edit: This picture was given to me as is by friends of mine currently in Iraq and I passed it on unaltered. That said, I make no claim as to the veracity of the original photo.

Looks like an obvious Photoshop job, but still funny! Very Happy

FredRum,

I can tell you (because I talked about it with the moderators first), that this picture is from Iraq and from our men in uniform. The point is that this picture reflects the general mood of our men and women in uniform.

I got it via email from some of my buddies that are serving in Iraq as we speak.

Edit: I was asked to share it with as many people as possible...because their story isn't getting out in the MSM. I have done my best here and elsewhere.

Is that how the American Flag is supposed to be on his soldier? I am not a soldier, but it appears backwards to me.

AFAIK and, for the sake of full disclosure, "registered" (as can be seen in the "watermark" on the right edge) is a well-known photo "enhancer" whose work is often seen on the free republic website (perhaps others might elaborate). I'm also fairly certain that this individual was purported to be the "author" of the now infamous doctored photo of Kerry and Fonda at the "podium".

I'm quite sure, therefore, that this "photo" is not intended to be presented as legitimate and any distribution of it should clearly identify it as such.
