Like any sensible human being would, the soldiers decided to burn the worthless volumes of right wing propaganda. While I'm not a fan of book burning, I definitely make an exception in this case. The person who sent the books is a total teabagger political hack who has no concern for the well being of our troops whatsoever besides advancing their own narrow political agenda.

Here is the story:

Bill O'Reilly Book Burned By Soldiers In Afghanistan (PHOTOS)

Honestly speaking, I don't see any use for O'Reilly's books besides possibly using them as toilet paper. Given that the pages are hardly tp material, burning them seems like the only logical thing to do.

I applaud the soldiers for doing this. Whoever sent the books owes the soldiers and our military an apology. That's my two cents.
Yeah, you and Nazi's are big fans of book burning.

Just curious. Have you ever been in a combat zone? Have you ever received care packages from people back home? Well, I have. Three times to the Middle East. And i'm here to tell you that care packages of all shapes, sizes, and content are very welcome by the deployed. There's no such thing as a "bad care package" because everyone knows it's coming from a well-intentioned individual or entity.

I'm also here to tell you that the guys burning these books are total douchebags and do not represent the best or the brightest of our military forces.

Your two cents are worthless since you haven't been there, in my opinion.

Couple of points to clear up for ya. If you want to insult the Left you call them Commies, the nationalist righties are far closer to the Nazis way of thinking. Read More. Both have burned books but in this country more books have been burned by your side of the spectrum than the others guys have ever even thought of burning.

I don't even like O'Reilly, but I do realize that he donates and raises a ton of money for the wounded warrior project... all of his books bought from his website secure a donation to this.

Wounded Warrior Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kind of dumb for these soldiers to burn the books that were bought and secured donations for the wounded warrior project... I guess they confident they will never be wounded in battle.

Also... I'm a libertarian, and I agree with the poster that said that O'Reilly is not conservative. If anything he is a moderate. Look how he handles Obama with kid gloves when he interviews him...

I have been there and I agree with your statement on care packages. That said if someone had sent me a book by Rush (just usng him as an example he was still a nobody at the time) I would have disposed of it in a fitting manner. Personally I find it dishonorable that anyone would send political books to soldiers in the field in attempt to sway their thinking Politics is the last thing they need or want, politics is what put them, you and me where we were. My Opinion.

No, they're just total douchebags. The military is chock full of douchebags, contrary to the fairtytale ideal that puts all of them on a pedestal when it fits a certain agenda, whether it be left or right. In this case, these douchebags are put on a pedestal by the left. Tomorrow the same douchebags will be put on a pedestal by the right for something else. But at the end of the day, they're still douchebags.
