REGIMENTAL PRAYER

Almighty, merciful, and loving Father,
you are the one who hears all our prayers and grants our petitions.

We ask you to remember, as we do,
the tremendous sacrifice made by those who went before us.
They have given their lives so that we might live and breathe freely.
We ask you to receive them into your hands.

Father, give us the strength and wisdom to learn from their example,
to uphold freedom and life at home and around the world.

Keep us vigilant as we guard the frontiers of freedom.

Give our leaders the wisdom and the strength to lead well.

Grant all of us courage and confidence.
Be, for all of us, troopers, a wise counsel in keeping peace
and a strong shield for us against our enemies.
Oh heavenly Father, give us the determination
that the peace and freedom won at such a high price be lasting!

Father, hold all of the troopers in the palm of your almighty hand
and protect them in the shadow of your wings.

Amen.

I believe the Finns feel a certain affinity to the Iraqis because they remember what it is like to be attacked by a hostile empire.

Maybe, but the guerilla isn't on your side. If you were in Irak you would be a target just like the soldiers.

Hey hey hey, look, I happen to strongly disagree with Obe's opinion, and think its the wretchings of a woefully uninformed person not aware of the full logical end of his opinion, but last time I checked this was a democratic forum of sorts, not meant to be a place where people with a single homogenous viewpoint gather to pat each other on the back and congradulate their country on their universally applied ability to be right. People with dissenting opinions absolutely should be allowed on here - debate is how you reach a more credible viewpoint. There's no point in insulating ourselves from detractors. Have some intellectual balls to face them people! ;) :cantbeli:

the insurgents or the guerillas you speak of are hiding behind iraqis while attacking US troops they are killing iraqis who in any way associate themselves with US troops, and are taking it out on thier own people so that they hate the US troops. if this is your definition of a guerilla and acceptable tactics to boot then you are simply sick.

and you only support them when they kill thier enemies not thier own people? so they can kill thier own people, then go back to killing soldiers, and you like them again? how decpetively double sided and weak.

Well, for the majority of the people, no. I think most Finns feel sorry for Iraqis, for what they've had to go trough.

Yes, Finland and Iraq have (had?) many similarities in their defense. Area-based defense, some similarities in air-defense and guerilla tactics. Anyone trying to take Finland by force would face large amounts of guerillas with good training, weapons, will to fight with determination, and knowledge of the area they operate. Guerillas now operating in Iraq seem to have all but the first, and it seems (based on TV) that those guerillas don't enjoy the trust or support of the "average-ahmed". In here, the situation would quite the opposite.

You have to remember that those guerillas see the coalition as an invasion army. What would you do if a foreign army invaded your country? I believe many Finns follow the war in Iraq with that question in mind...

As an American, I value free speech.

However, when a person uses that right to advocate violence against Americans during wartime (as indicated by the woman from Finland); I consider that person an enemy.

The Finnish lord-of-the-gays (i.e. Ode) is very brave to cheer on those who are want to to kill coalition members in Iraq.

To the mental midgets who toss out the "freedom of speech" defense when one of the American haters writes something stupid or threatening; they tend to overlook one important fact.

On December 15, 1791, the United States of America adopted the Bill of Rights, which confirm the fundamental rights of AMERICAN citizens.

Unless the half-a-fag Finnish boy is an American, that argument is null and void.


Hmm... The people of America, land of freedom, can´t accept different opinions, that´s a little weird...

you Yanks really share different opinions of freedom than I.

Did you ever stop to think American's would be a little upset about your opinion that it is okay to kill Americans?

No disrespect intended to any another Finnish citizen is intended.

I understand that Americans will get pissed when I cheer for guerillas and U.S casualties but I also remind you that everytime somebody postes something like "80 guerillas dead" many of those who are now outraged post those woot <---smileys.
I remind you that since Vietnam, U.S army has been well know to shoot everything and everyone that moves, when being fired upon, so those "dead guerillas"-figures may contain civilians too.

I want everyone to know that I respect everyone who is fighting there and I am sorry for the deaths on both sides, but I also remind you that U.S went there for ****ty reasons and now your troops are forced to pay, not for freedom, but for the stupidity of their leaders. I hope America will get lesson that they´d remember in Iraq.

Yes I agree.

Complete utter BS. Please tell me some examples. Shooting everything that moves, you've been watching too much holywood. I don't blame you. I would have a very skewed image of your small country if the majority of modern culture came from a film studio from Finland. As someone who has done a few combat patrols in his career I can tell you this is complete BS. The US military does not condone, nor intentionally shoot everything that moves. You are full of sh*t my friend and you show your true colors by making such false and preposterous statements. I would not serve a military that would intentionally shoot innocents. War is a very messy business and on occasion there is collateral damage, innocent civilians do die. This is a tragedy and the US military does everything in its' power to prevent this. You can believe otherwise but it is true.



I want everyone to know that I respect everyone who is fighting there and I am sorry for the deaths on both sides, but I also remind you that U.S went there for ****ty reasons and now your troops are forced to pay, not for freedom, but for the stupidity of their leaders. I hope America will get lesson that they´d remember in Iraq.

The lesson we are getting is that the price for democracy will always be hard and as famous American once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." Sleep well in freedom my clueless friend.

You can flame the fool all you want but don't start offending Finland because of one asshole, asshole.

It doesn't matter anyway. Can you tell me one occasion on which Finland has been allied to America? Can you?

Oh but Finland is in EUROPE, and you've always heard that without USA I "would be speaking German" and whatever...jesus, go get yourself an education "A soldier". Finland was allied to Nazi Germany throughout WW2, and was defeated but not occupied by Soviet Russia.

If you're a soldier then I can't believe they issue firearms to these kinds of fools, if not then leave because you're not worthy of the title.
