the same military that won't put a pentacle symbol on a memorial has been infiltrated by neo-nazi groups. they figured this out when neo-nazi graffiti began showing up on the streets of Baghdad. They have also had to discharge over 100 soldiers for "personality disorders". One of the soldiers that was discharged is the one who has now been charged with raping and then murdering a 14 year old Iraqi girl. He and three accomplices have also been charged with murdering the girl's entire family. And the military is worried about a pentacle. typical.

Thanks for the congrats. I'm enjoying it so far.
