I still do not find it funny ...

This, however, cracks me up every time:

'Wenn ist das Nunstück Git und Schlotermeyer? -ja, Beierhund das oder die Flipperwald gersput!'

....but then again, that's the funniest joke in the world ;) Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:57:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (s_groening) Comments Errr http://osnews.com/thread?305497 http://osnews.com/thread?305497 German bullets in Omaha?

I ain't talking about Omaha, Nebraska, here. Omaha was the codename for one of the landing beaches in Normandy during D-Day.Edited 2008-03-18 10:50 UTC Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Thom_Holwerda) Comments RE: Errr http://osnews.com/thread?305505 http://osnews.com/thread?305505 How can you ask that?

Man...

Good comic Thom, keep it up. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:19:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (BiPolar) Comments RE: Respect http://osnews.com/thread?305506 http://osnews.com/thread?305506

Argh. Don't be an idiot.
Trust me, compared to black-humor-jokes * that I've heard in the army, this one is benign. (Though I did spill my coffee out of my nostrils...)

What does kill you, makes your mother stronger..." Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:33:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (gilboa) Comments RE[2]: Respect http://osnews.com/thread?305541 http://osnews.com/thread?305541 To be entirely fair:

Been to school perhaps?

Good comic though!

It probably didn't help that I'd just watched Nick Broomfield's "The Battle for Haditha" before reading the strip, mind you -- harrowing stuff ;) Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Havin_it) Comments Jim http://osnews.com/thread?305561 http://osnews.com/thread?305561 Jim Morrison would be very proud of you comics!

WWI, WWII, and even Vietnam War to a certain extent. Today, what do we have? "I went to war to pay for college and get chicks, nobody told me I had to kill people for real or I'd lose a limb!!" In the future, our generation will be known for being lazy, playing video games and having done next to nothing for society as a whole.
