Re: OT: Free speech?
I agree that this site is in bad taste in some areas. Of course, i'd rather put up with sites like this than lose the right of "Freedom of Speech"

Re: OT: Free speech?
They have British soldiers on there, too. Apparently, the "America" is subjective.
BTW, the site is registered in Mexico.

Re: OT: Free speech?
There should be a law protecting somepeople from their right to free speech. In this persons case, violation of that law should be punishable by death.

Re: OT: Free speech?
If you remove the ?id=528 portion of the url, you'll get a true random page each time. The top 20 listed on the side are "Gomer"-type accidents. That much is true. But the site thinks in some cases getting your transport shot at by a rocket propelled grenade makes a person "stupid" as well.
This guy is a troll. Not you sachmo, the guy who wrote the site.
There was another site, obviously deliberately written to piss people off with false info. It tried to show how the American flag was no longer flying at the D-Day memorial in Caen, France, shortly after France expressed opposition to the US before the Iraq war. I never found out if it was a case of photoshopping, caught them while they were in the process of raising the flag, wind-blown behind the pole or what. And now I've lost track of the site.
What was interesting to me was what happened when the guy with the D-day site was cornered and asked to explain himself. He got all philosophical on the definition of knowledge and information. I never could find out conclusively if he was pro-US and faked the photos to make France look bad, anti-US and faked the photos, so people would get riled up, be proven wrong and look like fools. Or just a prankster, trying to see what the Internet would do with random bits of information.
Anyhow, a troll. Plain and simple.

Re: OT: Free speech?
Bad taste definitively
I can't locate Lynndie England there so it's incorrect to boot. (Or GWB for that matter, but then again he can hardly be labeled a soldier  )
Don't let the annoyance of this moron (the site maker) make you forget the real criminals.
