I'm sure you are a very well-meaning person and I respect you for that.

However I personally don't regard a photo forum as the appropriate place for comments regarding the military - you perhaps may not realise that the US military is not held in high regard in other places, for example they recently killed a well-known British journalist (amongst many others) and then tried to conceal it.

Personally I feel if you want to offer support another type of forum might be preferable.

I certainly wouldn't ask you to remove your comments, that would be a moderators' decision

As to the moderator, someone has to be offended. Are you offended? If so, point out the post which offended you and it's gone. No moderator necessary. Just you and me working it out together; buddies having a good time.

"...you perhaps may not realise that the US military is not held in high regard in other places,..."

Pesonally, I'd like to see all of our miltary come home and I'd like to see the world deal with their own rat's nest.

Show the OP some respect as it's his butt on the line, not your's, unless you're currently in the military, overseas, also.

If anybody here is offended by what I wrote in support of the OP, point out the post which offended you and I'll be happy to censor myself according to your taste.

And it was a miltary person, serving in the USAF, overseas, in uniform, asking the question.

You're correct as this is also a photographic community and we all have interactive lives that don't end because you say people have to be sterile in their interactions while visiting FM; "a world wide photographic community."

Again, you're continuing and yet you won't tell me what to remove other than to say, it must be your way or no way.

Tell me what to remove to make you happy and I'll do it or ignore the thread and move on as you have the choice to continue in this attempt to control the forum and this thread. I'm going be supportive of our troops, that's reasonable. Just let it go and move on to the next thread unless this is your idea of a good time or please, tell me what to remove.

That would be kind of you.

Thank-you for your thoughts and wishing you well with your photographic efforts.

If you want to talk about photography then fine, that's why we're (supposed to be) here, it's a photographic forum after all, it wasn't me that went all John Wayne, no doubt you'll be telling us how marvellous the Republican party is next

And you are mad because you think they are making a political comment? DUH. Look in the mirror.

Now, can we just get back to photography?

Did you bring a Huskers flag to Kuwait you can take a picture of? In case you are a fan...the won the Big XII north last weekend (if you didn't get the news over there). Thank you for the service you do.

You are obviously a young. Before you insult brave soldiers doing their best to defend freedom, recommend you talk to some older folks in your country who remember and know they would be speaking German if it wasn't for the US Soldiers who died protecting your ancestors in WWII.

We respect your personal beliefs but this is a photography forum.
This thread is now locked. Thanks in advance for avoiding such discussion here in the future.
