DVD Porn Viruses Ravage US Soldiers' Computers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-the-humanity dept.

stevegee58 writes "Tom Ricks' Inbox in the Sunday Washington Post reported that bootleg DVDs purchased in Iraqi markets ('souks') are frequently infected with viruses. Iraqi soldiers were affected as well; electronic interaction between Iraqi and US soldiers frequently resulted in a corresponding exchange of viruses from these infected DVDs."

    The US hasn't been threatened since Pearl Harbor. Every other conflict directly involving us was instigated by the US (at least in part).

    What a load of horse shit. Folks in the military voted overwhelmingly for Bush in 2004. If that isn't a vote for the aggressive use of American military power, then what is? If they hate war so much, they should have joined the PEACE corps.

    Our soldiers are bathed in the blood of the innocent. Life under Saddam was certainly brutal, but he wasn't going to kill anything like the number of Iraqis that the US military has killed.
