Photoshop and based on my personal experience I find it very offensive.
:thumbsdown:
Very low class for a moderator. Perhaps Iceman I should refer to you as the racist bigoted Nazi.

This is DEFINITELY fake. No US recruiting center would ever have a sign that says anything remotely near that. There isn't really any room for discussion. It's someone's attempt at a joke, and a bad one at that, and it doesn't really even matter what your political position or the view of the war is. For anyone who wonders where this came from, it's a joke that is recycled from the Simpsons that someone thought it would be cute to photoshop in to a real picture:

The handicapped sign is also photoshopped in. And yeah, whoever made the picture was a decent hand at Photoshop. Yes, there are probably handicapped stalls in that lot, but a US government/GSA vehicle would NEVER park at it (unless it was on the off chance the person driving it really was disabled and the vehicle was properly permitted, which is itself unlikely). There isn't room for discussion there, either.
Anyone who would believe that is real is, well, the words I would say are not too kind.
(And for anyone who thinks this still makes some kind of "statement": a lot of people like to make hay about how the military is somehow "taking advantage" of people, but the bottom line is that the US still has a 100% volunteer military - notwithstanding all tour changes, stop loss initiatives, etc. etc. etc. And funnier still is that, while every life lost is tragic, the losses in Iraq considering the size and scope of the operation, and from a public policy perspective - again utterly irrespective of your own views on the war - are comparatively minimal. And that's not opinion; it's just simple fact.)

Guys:
However offensive this photoshopped piece is, still no reason to call anyone names. Let's all try and be civil about our opinions, and debates.
Cheers!

Although, i'm not saying it is real, i'm struggling to find the photoshop touches with my rather untrained eyes. I'm speaking from the computer wizardry part, and again i'm not trying to say anything else. (Really wanted to make this clear, as i thought some very agressive members here). Don't bite my head off please...
