This Photograph was approved by Military Censors for distribution to the general public. I found the photo in the online "YAHOO Photo Bank." I kept the caption to the photo just as I found it, since it illustrates perfectly the mindset of those who are now dropping the bombs. The Photo Editor of the Associated Press tagged this photo with a warning that the picture had been "reviewed" by Navy Communications. This means of course that the Military approved the photo for distribution. It goes without saying that NO ONE in the Military saw anything offensive about the bomb casing graffiti... and furthermore, would APPROVE this image as representing "Operation Eternal Freedom."

One may also note the misspelling of "highjack"... a further comment on the educational level of the servicemen in today's Military. In 1991 I created a poster critical of the first Bush administration and it's conduct in the Gulf War. That poster was titled "Life under tha edjucasun prezident"... a reference to Mr. Bush's referring to himself as "The Education President." In my drawing I had portrayed a Soldier signing bomb casings with slogans like "weer #1" "giv war a chanse" and "mes with tha best dye like the rest." Looks like my drawing has come back to life!

EDITOR'S NOTE: PICTURE MAY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AS IT WAS SENT VIA NAVY COMMUNICATIONS--A Navy officer signs a bomb attached to the wing of an aircraft on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise in the Arabian Sea, Thursday, Oct.11, 2001. The USS Enterprise is one of the ships involved in the attacks in Afghanistan. Complete writing on spare fuel tank reads, "War Party". (AP Photo/Jockel Finck)

I saw, and downloaded this photo off mainstream news just before it was quickly removed.. I then put it up on raisethefist.com ... this photo should really be distributed as much as possible.. these motherfuckers are killing children with their fucking bombs, and after their own CIA client takes down their two world trade towers.... Who's the real terrorist.

The small jpeg-of-a-jpeg could have gone either way. This one looks like the real article.

As always, we send the best of our "culture" overseas, then whine that "they hate us."

Just to let you know the education level of the person who wrote this.... The caption says a Navy Pilot (ALL NAVY PILOTS ARE COLLEGE GRADUATES) wrote this on the bomb. This must mean that the author has no knowledge of the military or their education levels, or he would have realized that the pilots education level is probably more than his own. All Naval Officers must attend a 4 year university and obtain above standard grades in all subjects. LEARN FROM THIS!

That only demonstrates that some college grads cannot spell, and they end up in the Navy. The sentence should read: "Hijack this, fags."

Just so you know; I went to a five year college. LOLz.

I was on board the Enterprise when that picture was taken. First, the whole concept of signing bombs is to boost shipboard morale, not to start a firestorm debate stateside...similar to the saying, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Second, those remarks had roughly 5 hours of airplay before they became shrapnel to the enemy target. Finally, although I don't endorse hate slurs or gross negligence in proper spelling, I think there are just a few more important things to worry about in this life than what some 19 year old sailor does with a piece of chalk and a bomb.

The point to this very old and ironic thread is that the same lack of mental power that gave power to the monsters that orchestrated this horror STILL is here, right on this wire, years after the lies have been shredded that served as the prima fascia axis for this evil.
Note to the enemy.
This will end in a great turning of awareness. And a golden age free from an old and degenerate ruling cult of wealth. It will be the result of the flare of information the masses now have to spot light their hereditary enemy.

Certain individuals need to hang for this treason. Ya follow me?
