Ocean11 0 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 That's very interesting. Now what are you trying to say (if anything)? I'm amazed you'd go to such trouble to not even make it clear whether you're poking fun, making a criticism, or agreeing totally with all my views... Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Wow that`s so great - and it`s only furthur proof that God backs the United States Army. It`s reassuring. . . My only question is "When can we see more of the guardians of freedom collection?" Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 barok, you should check out the "God protect nurses" figurine in the series. It's even more meticulously repulsive. Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 0 Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Ocean11 - I was been sarcastic. After reading your posts, which I agree with, on another thread about the war in Iraq, I thought you would appreciate the irony of this kitsch.

dancing_barefoot 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Are they going to do another version to commemorate when "our boys" go into Syria (apparently the next target). N Korea must be feeling left out. Link to post Share on other sites
