Nope - not photoshop.

Actually, the guy in the picture looks to be a civilian.

It's not photoshopped, either. It's one of those online sign/picture making deals. ie: not real.

Huh? What's the link to that?

I have a hard time believing that's what it is.

It does much more to further your hatred to believe otherwise.

Here's one site, there's tons out there.

Look at the kid in the middle, look at his left hand.

Heh, nifty.

Don't see how they got the type to run under that kid's hand, but whatever, you made a believer outta me.

It didn't do anything to further my so-called "hatred" though. There are far more professionals in the military than d!p****s like the kind of people that picture would have us believe. Idiots like that permeate all walks of life, and I don't allow them to reflect on the whole of anything.

My brother was in the invasion and the occupation until Oct., he wasn't issued "Digicams"

Photoshopped or staged or authentic .... it's about as tasteful as a three piece pink polyester suit with green platform shoes.

Sorry, but it's not one of those sites - the letters are hand done, and one goes under the kid's hand. Not very easy to program. If it's fake, it's photoshopped with the text hand-lettered. Hand-lettering is pretty tough in PS, as weaselsan's effort illustrates. And if you were going to all that trouble, you'd most likely put the "then" in so it was visible.

Sorry, like most of our other conversations, I'm right, you're sadly mistaken.

It's ok, though. You'll get over the hurt.

I suppose if it was possible to reason with you and get you to examine evidence, you wouldn't be sporting that avatar. Shout all you like -you still won't know spit about typography.

Hey, I got a good deal on the shoes! I think people are laughing with me.
