DVD Porn Viruses Ravage US Soldiers' Computers

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."

Any culture that values ignorance(see virginity 72 of them specifially) over some one who knows what they are doing cant be trusted with something so serious as pron.

In case you are out of touch with what your military is currently doing, I'll fill you in. You people invaded and are currently occupying a nation that held absolutely no threat to you. And your service men have slaughtered, and ARE slaughtering, hundreds of thousands of civilian men women and children.

If you don't find that atrocious, I'd hate to see what it takes to turn your stomach.

Not everyone that goes into the military is a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal, and quite a few of us are above average in terms of intelligence. At best, everyone in the military are ignorant and naive. No one with a real chance at making something of themselves joins up. It's a special little part of the world reserved exclusively for those knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who have little to no other career options or hope to piggy back their way through college. It's no coincidence that the large majority of recruits come from poor, often rural, areas. Nothing is more ironic than these people giving their lives to maintain order within the very system that keeps them in poverty. There is nothing intelligent about joining the armed services, and no amount of wanna-be patriotism will change it.

You're right. Without a strong military, we most likely wouldn't be in Iraq or Afghanistan. We would probably be too busy adjusting our wive's Burqas and worrying about how our Fatwah against England was going.
