Is using a Quran or Bible for target practice while in Iraq a ticket home and out of the war zone?

1. No.
2. Yes. Good thinking.
3. Maybe, but I'm not sure they are as fond of the Bible as we are overall. It probably works best with the Qu'ran. Of course, if our soldiers are found doing that again; we almost certainly will lose all of Iraq as they turn on us entirely. And quite possibly drag the rest of the Middle East into a regional Sunni vs. Shiite war; with far more American soldiers and civilians of nearly every Middle East nation dying. I'm hoping someone isn't stupid enough to do that again.
4. Assuming you're asking for yourself because you're IN the war zone and WANT to go home, i'll say this: You signed up for military service, now you're looking for the cowards way out? You KNEW you'd be going to war if it happened and you were active in the service. I hope you're court marshaled..that will be a quick way home too!
5. You bet and also a possible ticket to a psychiatric hospital.
6. I'm sure it is. It's also a good political statement. Unfortunately, it is also a good way to get a court martial, and getting a rank or three taken away. Too bad we are being so politically correct about this. It is a bit passive-aggressive, but it definitely gets the point across, yes?
7. That guy was a friggin moron! How the heII can you do something like that and not expect to cause an uproar? You don't treat other peoples' religion like that, ESPECIALLY when you are in their country, and wearing a U.S. Uniform! Personally, I hope they put him out! We don't need people like that representing this country! The actions of a few jackasses like this are half the reason why people don't like us!
8. It could be with a BCD in your back pocket...and loss of all pay, rank, and benefits. But then again...they may put you on the front line...and you'll be sent home alright...In a BOX.
9. No, but probably a reduction in Rank and Grade, extra duty and loss of pay and allowances for 30 days, at least it would be if I was your First Shirt.
10. It should be a ticket to the brig.
11. No. the bible and the quran are just fantasy books. Humans get fond of the stupidest things...
12. No American flag is best, That is the permanent ticket.
13. No but complete ignorance should be. Then again if you are in a war zone you're right where you need to be. You signed the contract you should uphold your end of the deal, end of discussion!
