you guys are disgusting for dipicting the images the way you do what i love about the people is not only are our front troops on the front line but you are throwing all of them right into another front line war a war we can not win because what most of you liberal civilian communists don't seem to care to come to realize is those of us fighting this war don't have a say in what we are sent or told to do we are given orders and we obide by those orders no matter what the circumstances are because that's what we are meant to do. i am assuming that all of you have a job where you have a boss who tells you what to do and what do you do when you are told to take this task on you do it you "complete your mission" as is were thats exactly what those of us are doing we are taking orders and completing our mission. now back to the origin of me starting this post is how can you even say that what comes around goes around with pictures of our military being put in harms way why dont you start to realize that we know damn well the things we are doing over seas aren't always right but we have to do it i am tired of people not thanking our troops for they're effort overseas and what we are doing dont you see the kill count we are dying in the line of duty to protect what our country believes in weather or not its what you indivdually believe in why not try making posters saying thank you for you hard work and thank you for having bullets bombs rockets grenades be thrown at you so i can sit here and post rediculous liberal bs back home while you are watching your brothers sisters comrades die next to you and thank you for going through the mental and physical anguish that you go through while there and thank you to those families that have lost loved ones for giving the ultimate sacrafice by allowing me to continue to write un-supporting jargain and to all those who have given your lives in the line of duty thank you for paying what will forever be reognized as the ultimate sacrifice that you will ever have to give your life. now liberals out there try writing that on walls and posters maybe even try saying that to someone in the military you see on the street walking driving because we are here to protect freedom your freedom with what ever means possible.

Don't think it's a useful campaign apart from the creativity.. it's still not going to have an impact on whom it should.

While the design concept itself is unique and interesting, there is one major problem. If anyone involved in this campaign actually has to take the time to say, "This isn't aimed at the soldiers!" then they failed to clearly communicate their message. The potential interpretations are horrific.

The idea is clever, but it is not the way to make the anti-Iraq War statements.

Our soldiers are Americans. They are sons and daughters, husbands and wives. They have children. Their loved ones could lose them at any moment.

How dare you put up a poster with a gun to their heads?

Whether or not you support the war, this is the worst way to protest it. What do you say to a soldier's mother who see's this poster as a gun to her son's head.

Terrible Idea, Terrible Article. Anyone who supports this needs to rethink their morals.

Take the posters damn and the article offline.

A clever campaign, and some interesting images too.

Some of these people are completely missing the point. There's no helping you folks.

Also, it'd be useful to know that not everyone here is an American.

THROWINGSTONES:
I could not have said it better myself. Glad to see that there are still some normal people out there. Citizens of the US are US Americans not americans, there are other americans as well, you seem to forget the country north of your own and the countries belonging to the south american continent. Enough said a bout that. A question: don’t you think that you are being brainwashed from the first day in school? being forced to swear allegiance to the flag etc…how absurd isn’t that? think you are among the few countries in the world still doing that, what about the democratic choice there? do you have to do that or do you have a choice? If you really want to do good, remove the dictator in North Korea. And how weird are your election system already, that isn’t true majority democracy is it? I have so many issues but only alimited amount of time and space…You do not have democracy in your country, that is what you are thought to believe.

My Comment To This:

Just so you know, America is a republic. Choices are made through elected representatives. That is why our pledge of allegiance says, "And to the republic, for which it stands," and not, "And to the democracy..."

"Americans" is the accepted term for people who live in the United States of America. People from Mexico are called Mexicans. People from Canada are called Canadians.

The people who say this is 'sick' for 'showing harm to our soldiers' clearly don't get the point of these posters.

and the way i see it seb...who gives one shit about a country of people who let their leaders this way or let the terrorist cells thrive in their countries. the number 1 reason we are in iraq and aphganistan is to protect the U.S. of A. last time i checked there were ZERO attacks on our soil since these wars started.

Anybody who thinks that these "what goes around comes around" posters are a good thing or a "good idea" has no soul at all. basically what you are saying is, if you join the military to protect your family, friends and country you deserve death.

Yeah your posters are f*cked up! Who are you to judge? Are you any better than anyone else? I don't think so! Go ahead, blame the troops for something that our leaders are doing if it makes you feel smart, but don't disrespect them! They spend months-years away from their families defending your right to be a dick! Maybe if you put a politician on the other end of that bullet instead of a loved husband, father, or friend it would be a little bit more accurate. When you're ready to risk your life for your right to speak and put up stupid posters like this let us all know, but until then stop being an asshole to the people who ARE fighting for YOUR right to publicly harass THEM!

What a cruel thing is war: Mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with HATRED instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. ~Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864

Wow. I thought great advertising ideas were dead. Maybe that's only in the UK. Once again the US shows the way in marketing standards. Love it.

Kudos to the soldier (Steve) who posted on May 21st for grasping the true subtlety of these amazing images. The majority of people in this country (WE ... the people ... y'know, the folks who the government supposedly work for) do not support the war. We DO, however, support our fellow Americans - the soldiers, who struggle every day simply to stay alive. The hawks in government and the members of the public who still support this war need to realize that their decisions and actions are the ones that continue to put our soldiers in harms way. They are so quick to extend their sympathies when we lose a soldier, but doesn't it makes sense that bringing them home is the quickest way to end the threat to their lives and our collective future? What goes around comes around, yes, but what these photos are saying is that our (country's) aggression usually comes back around to us ... and kills 'our brightest and our best' in the bargain.
