Give Dumb a Chance
Anti-War protestors support the troops... by burning them in effigy, of course.
This display just boggles the mind for sheer stupidity, but then, consider the source:

That, and the placing of a Muslim symbol on a Christian cross will probably get a fatwa of death on the protester from Iran.
Too priceless.

How many helpers set these up and none of them noticed?

David, look at the sign. There's a cross and a Star of David at the bottom corners, but is that a cresent in the top corner? If so, then "Dumber Accomplished".

No, but it probably will reasonably replace the Fleets enema they need to treat their otherwise terminal fecal impaction.

And yet, in all those moron-hours, it never occurred to any of them that there's something... well, not quite right.
I imagine the whole cross-eyed gang deliriously attempting high-fives in a honking splatter of drool and snot. Way to make a point, guys!

The Cross represents American soldiers who have died - many are Christian.
The Crescent represents Iraqi's who have died - many are Muslim.
The Crescent is representative of the Musilm faith in the same way the Cross is representative of the Christian faith.
The dead have died together thus making their religious affiliation sort of irrelevent and sort of all mixed together in tragedy and death.
Should this display have made Crosses and Crescents seperate?

You're thinking too hard...

I don't see the 'stupidity' here. It's simply a 'mash up'.
The Cross represents American soldiers who have died - many are Christian.
The Crescent represents Iraqi's who have died - many are Muslim.
The Crescent is representative of the Musilm faith in the same way the Cross is representative of the Christian faith.
The dead have died together thus making their religious affiliation sort of irrelevent and sort of all mixed together in tragedy and death.
Yes, that's it! The duality of man. The Jungian thing. Sir.

It's not really duality because both religions are not opposites. And if American Soldiers are labeled as 'good' then I don't consider Iraqi civilians 'bad'.
What's funny about your Full Metal Jacket quote is the cynical humor with which it was written about American thinking with regards to war.
Pogue Colonel goes on to say:
"Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over."
