What sort of bizarre comment was that?! Pilots and tankers have been naming and decorating their equipment since the first tank was called "Little Willie." Not many Iraqis involved in the trenches in Flanders. Choosing a name, and adding something uniquely personal like nose art is a long-standing tradition. Next you'll be saying that warships shouldn't have a girl's name and they shouldn't have a logo like the Roadrunner on the funnel.

For the record, here's a picture of a tank which had a skull on it. (bottom right corner, on the smoke grenade box)

The whole of that platoon had that sort of motif, all the skulls were slightly different.

If that offends you, you have really thin skin.

Thats very insulting to Manic Moran. You pretty much called him a murderer We can't assume that he ever killed innocent people. That's just wrong. Secondly, don't assume the man is a bloodthirsty savage who decorates his vehicle with the remains of the dead. We both know that he didn't. He's just a man doing his job. If you have a problem with the war in Iraq, take it up with somebody else.
