"He will make heroes, So please support the troops" Sign on car window.
Do you have an idea what this person means by this sign with a fish underneath it?
I saw this in El Cajon CA today.

7. I figured that much but what does it mean?
God supports our killing of muslims and will choose those who do heroic deeds?

3. The fish sign is usually a Christian symbol...so it may be a religious
'pray for the troops' kind of thing.

5. I guess the idea maybe that the true heroes are in the afterlife...
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 11:37 PM by BrklynLiberal
Those who believe in Jesus..or whatever.

9. If it said
"Only He can make heroes" that might give it an appropriate Cristian slant

but

"He will make heroes" sounds like a religious war IMO

11. Yeah, really. Substitute "martyrs" for "heroes"...
... and it sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?

:scared:

Santee?....anyway...all the same.

18. Jesus will decide which soldiers will live or die it isn't up to "us"
it is inevitable it is god's will, so support the troops,it's all we can do. That's my guess.

This must be the next level above stick figures naming the family members or the "Pray for my son pvt beetle bailey 6 rgmt 3 div 9th inf..."
