Thanks, I dont come here for serious sites. But it is nice to see one now and then. As an Airman I would like to thank you for supporting the men and women in uniform who have fallen before me.

Very nice. Semper Fi.

This isn't funny at all....why did you do this to my MIND!? Ah well, they brought it on themselves for going to war.
2006-12-10 10:58:26
 
hmmm ... If sum one who didnt know you cared enough to fight and die for what you have, you shouldnt be a douche about it.
2006-12-10 11:07:17
 
i dont get how you can vomit at these war heros, who died for mine and your freedom, lets see you jump off a landing craft into MG42 machine gun fire, mortors, landmines, artillary, tanks, snipers, small arms fire, and your buddys having their body parts blown off and thrown all over you because they chose to zig instead of zag and stepped on the hugt AT Telemar mine 5 yards infront of you that you your self would have stepped on if he had not done it first, this guy was your best friend.

politics ya, but respect them for the sacrifice they did make, support them for the sacrifce they are making. trying to improve the lives in the countrys they are in. ya they went in for f*cked up reasons, but they still deserve our support no matter what. believe it or not we are making a difference in the lives of the people in afghanistan and Iraq. and not just a difference from the peace they say on the news they had to the violence they are living now. but actually good differneces.
2006-12-10 11:23:55
 
I don't understand how anybody could 1 this....that's just horrible.
2006-12-10 11:24:29
 
Thank you for supporting our fallen heros. I have great honor towards those who chose to protect our country. pussyassfart I totally agree with you.... right on.
2006-12-10 11:25:32
 
Anyone who downvotes this is a traitor and should be shot. These men died to protect what we hold sacred and all too many take for granted: Freedom. Its not about politics, its about protecting your sorry-ass lives and providing freedom for those who live in oppression worldwide. God bless America and those who fight and die to preserve it.
2006-12-10 11:25:53
 
I work down the street from there. But no pictures or Steamroller could possibly ever capture it. Sorry I'm voting 4 but I don't think they would want the pictures of their graves on a comedy site. Even if it is out of respect.

I hate to say it but...I see no sign of Poland.
2006-12-10 11:58:21
 
Still needs more dead soldiers. Send even more to Iraq, f*ck up that country even more by trying to impose our way of things there, and let them kill even more so we have more graves to put into this lovely YTMND, so more people can jizz over them.
2006-12-10 11:58:48

2006-12-10 12:13:16
 
I give salute every single soldier in those graves. May their journey to the other side be a peaceful one. As for the jokesters here, I hope you feel good about defiling the spirit of these men who have passed on for you. These men may have fought in the Revolution, or over in Europe. They may have walked through the jungles of Korea or in the deserts of Iraq. No matter when or where they were, they are still heroes. I suggest all you Isolationists take a look at how avoiding the problem never solves it.

Don't dishonor men who are more noble than you will ever be by memorializing them on a sh*tty site like YTMND. Show some respect for God's sake.

The funny part about people making fun of dead soldiers is they can only do it because of those soliders. They died defending everyones right to say what they want to say, they died so people would have the right to insult them. Thats the thing some people will never understand. Most people don't know how good they have it in the USA.

glamador: "This isn't funny at all....why did you do this to my MIND!? Ah well, they brought it on themselves for going to war." ----You think these soldiers went to war knowing they would come home? F UCK NO! its a little something called bravery and honor you piece of worthless sh it. It really makes me wonder why i wanted to fight for my country when it is filled with people like you. Why dont you enlist and see what its like you pussies, wait i know why you dont...you would rather sit on your ass
2006-12-10 15:14:51
 
and say stupid sh*t like "needs more dead soldiers", so you all feel big and badass from the safety of your god damn computer chairs. Any way, SEMPER FI, and to those who have fallen...we thank you and you will never be forgotten.
2006-12-10 15:21:14
 
Anyone who downvotes this needs to f*cking die. These men have died to serve and protect their country, and I respect that more than anything. I myself would never go into the army, but that's because I don't have half the balls any of these guys do. RIP

2006-12-10 17:06:15
 
Sure it's serious, and it goes against everything YTMND stands for, but I still pay my respects in full.

If you think that all the wars America has fought in have secured freedom for the country, you're f*cking delusional. All they secured is exorbitant amounts of money for mutually supportive politicians and corporate scum. Stop trying to justify these deaths. The Second World War is only partially an exception.
2006-12-10 17:30:38
 
i hate liberal pussies
2006-12-10 17:31:52
 
These soldiers gave their lives so that you can live in freedom. Be thankful for that. If you want to hate someone, hate yourself for being so ignorant.
2006-12-10 17:44:16
 
anyone who downvotes this site should die of no heart disease. this is the first serious ytmnd that didnt have some ridiculous religious opinion. just something that we should all agree is important. well done sir.
2006-12-10 17:52:47
 
i understand what you're trying to do but, why here? I serioiusly stopped laughing from the last ytmnd instantly and went into depressive mode.

So you like faving sites like this so you can come back and look at the graves of people who gave their lives away for , uhm, "freedom"?

You know, here I am, looking at Stephanie and Brian Peppers, and you need to come in here and ruin my good time with something moving. F*ck you. 5'd.
2006-12-10 17:57:00
 
Stop acting like every soldier that dies died defending America. The only ones who have died to protect freedom are those who fought for our independance from England and those who stopped the threats of Germany and Japan nearly a century ago. The guys dying in Iraq right now are not defending our freedom. What threat does Iraq produce agaisnt us? There is no proof that they were involved in 9/11, Bin Laden, or WMD's. We are only there for their "freedom" by imposing our kind of government onto them.
2006-12-10 17:59:16
 
i respect the sacrifice of the soldier's and everything, but why did you ahve to do this. Look at what the people here are saying. I'm not sure whether to apreciate this or hate it
2006-12-10 18:00:01

I think this is a wonderful memorial... it's sad that all these people are ignorant enough to spit on the graves of these soldiers because of personal hatred for the president. It's heartbreaking to imagine the families of these men missing their sons, brothers and fathers this christmas. Come on guys, have a heart.
2006-12-10 18:38:27
 
Pretty good... sad... not funny.. but good. and if you can get a 4 out of me from an unfunny ytmnd, then it must be very good.

So now Arlington National Cemetery is on the same level as Brian Peppers and Time Traveler. You just did a disservice to anyone who's served in the past, or is serving now. 1'd because you're a retarded cumcake.

Ok, those of you saying its disrespectful to the soldiers because of the nature of YTMND need to step back, because while some of the users on here can be goofy, this site shows that a vast majority of them are good enough people to be able to take a minute to salute those men and women who are true heroes and gave everything up for us, people who they never met and never will met.
2006-12-10 20:51:47
 
And for those of you who are like "they threw their lives away for politics" and other horrible sh*t, like others have said, and I will repeat-Those men fought to protect your right to say disrespectful sh*t like that and you should think twice before you criticize men who gave everything and who were doing their job and have to go where they are told. I doubt half of you would have the guts to do what our soliders do on a daily basis. Even if you disagree with the war(even I do in fact), show some respect
2006-12-10 20:58:11
 
Paleeoguy did not create this YTMND to be insulting or funny, he made it so that everyone who visits it will remember to pay their respects to those who have fallen to preserve this nation. That is why I FAVed it. You Liberal F*cktards never pay your respects; instead, you spit on their graves and hold protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
2006-12-10 21:04:43
 
You guys realize that Iraq isn't the only war in American history, right? 99.9% of those buried in Arlington were casualties from other wars, so stop talking politics, idiots. If you would like to trivialize the sacrifice these people made throughout American history, then you aren't mature enough to understand it.
2006-12-10 21:22:37
 
Too bad you traitorous *ssh*les weren't born forty or more years ago; back then, you would either be dead or rotting in jail now for such actions. People from my family have proudly fought in every war of the 20th century and we continue to do so to this day. Beyond that I'm not certain, but branches of my family have been here since the 1700s. The ninth layer of Hell is reserved for you traitorous people...have fun.

All you little pinko kids out there who are bashing this site: go back to making your 1-star pieces of crap. Not everything on this site has to be funny. And bashing soldiers who "threw their lives away" is pretty dumb coming from people who are wasting their lives sitting in front of a computer all day long. Yeah, I'm sitting in front of one right now, but I'm not bashing soldiers for "dying for nothing", you little bitches.

IF ANYONE WHO DOES NOT VOTE 5 HAS NO HONOR. Even for the ones who do not support the wars, the people who died for OUR FREEDOM deserve everything, the brave, especially in world war 2, THOSE WHO WERE OUR AGE who sacrificed their lives for our well being. Who Ever Does Not Give 5, You Will Get Whats Coming To You. How Dare Those who do not think of the brave souls who fought bravely for us. You Disgust Me, and all of man-kind, can I go more in depth?
2006-12-10 23:14:29
 
The last war defending American rights was WWII. All the wars after that were fought for some bullsh*t cause like trying to stop communism or for no good reason at all, like in Iraq today. Regardless of what war they died in soldiers deserve the same respect you would give any dead person. Don't hate the soldiers, hate the f*cked up government that put them in the ground for no reason.
2006-12-10 23:17:19
 
God, I hate it when people make sites like this, thinking that they can get easy 5's, expecting everyone to go "UH OH I BETTER VOTE 5 OR ELSE I'M DISRESPECTING DEAD SOLDIERS!!!" Like those stupid religious ytmnd's, these don't belong here.

You all casually make the basless assumption that everyone is referring the latest Iraq War. No. It's been the same thing, to varying degrees, through almost all wars this country has fought in. YOU f*ckups are the ones spitting on the soldiers' graves, spouting all this bullsh*t about dying for freedom, as if that's what the men who fought wanted. They deserve more respect than that.

If you want a short list of wars that had little to nothing to do with preserving America's freedom, then there's the War of 1812, Mexican War, Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, World War I, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan War, and Iraq War. These men died either unwillingly or unaware that they were mostly just supporting a cartel. You can't just say "they died for freedom!", and move on. It's a f*cking injustice. Try to suppress your nationalistic tendancies, and you'll be less of a tool.

2006-12-11 03:51:32
 
I may not give a hoot about the whole, glorification of the army... But consider most of these soldiers fought in WWII. Many were drafted and even volunteered to protect, not just the freedoms of "AMERIKKA", our country, but people they didn't even know across seas, the oppressed, imprisoned and mistreated, and also their fellow soldiers, giving their lives to do this. At first I saw this and had the "not funny" reaction. Then I thought a bit, beautiful picture to share, and perfect song to match.
2006-12-11 03:53:52
 
I promise not to make many more serious comments on a ytmnd... this is a humor site... but hey =) Change of pace is nice now and then.

There's a difference between honouring the soldiers from all over the world who sacrificed all to stop a genocidal maniac in WW2, and honouring soldiers period. While it may be true that the US military has degenerated to a band of ill-directed thugs (which, really, is no fault of the individual soldiers), in the early 1940s, those men and their leaders had their heads, and hearts, in the right place. We owe them our world.
2006-12-11 05:25:58
 
The intention is well, but this type of thing just doesn't belong on ytmnd, and you did nothing but grab an image from google, you didn't even make the title yourself. (google image "arlington national cemetery christmas" and click the first link) My vote in no way represents my respect for those men however, my uncle served in WWII and has a metal plate in his head as a result of it.
