U.S. Troops Face Eating, Drinking Restrictions During Ramadan. The military announced that during the 30-day religious celebration of Ramadan, even non-Muslims are expected to obey local laws regarding eating, drinking, and using tobacco.

For military personnel outside of U.S.-controlled areas, the only exceptions for the rules are for those "performing strenuous labor." Such personnel are "authorized to drink and consume food as they need to maintain proper hydration and energy." It is unclear what constitutes "strenuous labor" or whether additional exceptions might be made during a heat wave affecting some areas of the region that has taken hundreds of lives.

And The Tool falls for another lie from his handlers. :lol:

"Such claims were based on a single article from the military publication Stars and Stripes which has been greatly exaggerated in the telling. What that article actually reported is that some U.S. military personnel in Bahrain have been briefed about the significance of Ramadan, Navy personnel there have been ordered to dress more conservatively while off-base during that month, and troops have been reminded that activities such as eating, drinking, and smoking in public in the daytime during the month of Ramadan is a violation of local law (and as with other local laws, they can be detained by authorities for breaking them):

Base cultural advisers have spent the last few weeks conducting Ramadan briefs to educate Americans about the holy month. Ali Hassan briefed about 150 personnel about Islam, the lunar calendar and customs and traditions during Ramadan.

While not required to fast during Ramadan, in Bahrain, Americans can be fined or detained by local authorities for eating, drinking or smoking in public when off-base during daylight hours.

Navy officials are requiring U.S. personnel to dress more conservatively off-base during Ramadan. Although not a requirement by Bahraini authorities, the Navy is demanding that men wear long-sleeved shirts and women wear sleeved blouses that cover their elbows. Also, men must wear long trousers, and women should wear pants or skirts that cover the knees."

Don't be a tool, educate yourself, fool.

The bylaws of the forum require that Clownhacker wear shirts with long sleeves as well.

For a different reason -- to conceal his pipestem-like scrawny arms.

Fuck the holy month, our troops are warriors and shouldn't have to bow to Muslim customs. You want ass kisser, send in the peace corps.

What part of "While not required to fast during Ramadan, in Bahrain, Americans can be fined or detained by local authorities for eating, drinking or smoking in public when off-base during daylight hours." don't you understand, Tool?

Why do you hate our troops so much you want them all to be put in Middle Eastern prisons?
They might end up being treated the way we treated them.

They might end up being treated the way we treated them.

I doubt they would provide our soldiers private rooms, bibles, menus and soccer fields.

[Clownkicker]

Tool, Abu Ghraib did not have private rooms, Korans, menus and soccer fields, you ignorant fuck.

[johnforbes]

Dearly beloved, we gather together to join together this boy Clownlicker and this boy Elkindope in unholy matrimony.

By the power vested in me by the bulletin board, and by the Supreme Court which is just making up things off the cuff and with no connection to anything in the Constitution, I now pronounce them leftist married.

Amen.

Abu Graib was for prisoners of war you ignorant fuck. You're talking about Muslims locking up American citizens for doing nothing more than eating what they want to eat; try to keep up dude. I swear, you're getting slower and slower every month that passes. Our soldiers have never had to observe Ramadan until we got a Muslim leader.

[Clownkicker]

And WE locked up people for doing nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time or just because someone they knew didn't like them and wanted some money, you clueless, ignorant fuck.

If they treat our guys the way we treated their guys in prison, then all your idiotic sophistry about WHY they are in prison won't stop them from being tortured and abused.

If you think that's worth a cigarette or a falafel in public during Ramadan just to thumb your nose at authority in a foreign country, then you're a moron.
And if you think it's responsible to keep our soldiers ignorant of the law in the country where they are stationed, then you're even more of an ignoramus than I could have ever imagined.

Yeah they were really abused, loud music, panties on their heads and water poured on their faces :lol: :lol: :lol: Muslims burn their prisoners alive and cut of their heads as punishment. You can bet their guards won't wear gloves when they have to move our guys' bibles to avoid offending them. Hell I'm betting they wouldn't even let them have bibles in their cells.
