Dude, I think this pic is excellent. I agree with mad_brewer. POlitically loaded messages, especially the ones that do not portray ones country in a nice,warm and fluffy light tend to be discredited. gutsy stuff. u had my 10.

Mad brewer, you hit it dead on, and you may of said it better than I could of TY.

I have also been called arrogant, which I accept apologetically. And wanted also to say that, I have with no intention intended on disrespecting any military personell. We are all here for seperate reasons, and to walk different paths. My point is, that American life shouldn't be any more endeared than others that walk parallel to our own.

I give you a lot of credit for taking a chance and making a statement. I actually expected more of a bimodal distribution - mostly 1 or 10 votes.

I interpreted it as meaning that some of us have pride in our country, and will blindly follow, even if we use our powerful military and arrogance to bully other nations.

Perhaps you can give some insight into what you meant?

In my opinion, when you posted this to a challenge about the deadly sin of pride, you are saying that our nation's miltary is prideful to the level of being sinful... and for that inference I have to doubt your disclaimer about truly loving our country. Your arrogance and utter ungratefulness for the lives of our military mean and women, past and present that have paid for our freedoms with their lives and their wounded bodies is astounding, to the point of being sickening.

I didn't get the Green Day reference. Sorry. My comments made during the challenge still stand. Picture was good, but title didn't help.
