From what I have read, it wasn't intentional. All trash is burned in the AOR. I think it's possible the books were mixed in with regular trash inadvertently. Local nationals are routinely given jobs on bases as a way to help stimulate the local economy. Many may work in the burn pits. I try to respect most religions. I think the moniker of stupidity should be leveled at those who believe it's justified to take the lives of as many people as possible simply because a mass produced, cheap copy of their religious text was accidentally thrown in the trash.

Or maybe worse, like the way NORTHERNERS did during the busing of those precious Black students they acted like they gave a damn about,,,,,,,,,,,,until they had the nerve to darken (pardon the pun) the doors of MY SCHOOL!!!
Seriously, why do you have to attack the South like this. Have you ever lived in the South? You reek of the same prejudice you liberals feign you don't have.:mad:

This is worth watching. Don't be put off by the first few seconds. It's pretty good.
