i'm sorry, this is downright offensive. as an oif III and oif V veteran, i know what it's like to "check for roadside bombs in iraq" and have seen friends die while doing it. to compare scumbags like this to american soldiers in a combat zone is ridiculous. use your brain before you post.

You know what it's like huh?... How often does one wear a football helmet and check for them with a stick? C'mon man, nothing offensive was intended by those comments. I'm a veteran also and in no way do I think he was implying that Jamar Hornsby is like an American soldier or that he should be an American soldier. Please stop forcing others to be so politically correct. Similar comments would have been that the kid should take a long walk off a short pier or take a flying leap off a 20 story building. It was just a joke. Lighten up

whatever man. it was offensive to me and i was a us soldier doing just this job. this has nothing to do with being politically correct. it has to do with respect.
