Nobody reported leftys post so I'm assuming nobody here has a problem with it. If you do then the report button is at your disposal.

You can get tons of inappropriate material on the internet - that doesn't mean it's ok to post here. Mods have to look at both protecting the site and keeping the users happy, the two don't always run in parallel.

Well Steve i was referring to the hypocrisy of censoring photographs that have been widely available in the public domain and i might add released to the public domain by a former member of the FRU and allowing photographs of people who have died a violent death.As far as i am aware Boards.ie are the first site to have censored these widely available photographs.

That matter has been passed to a higher power than me at this point so I can't really comment till I hear back.
As regards lefty's post - someone reported it earlier, I requested that another mod deal with it so I couldn't be accused of hypocrisy. Nobody replied to that (cos nobody was online I guess) so it's now removed as well (by me).

And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. - Rev 9:7-10

Canadian artillery during a fire mission at a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Zhari (AKA Zharey) District in Kandahar, Afghanistan on July 10, 2009. Artillery strikes are frequently called in from other FOB's on the front lines and units on patrol when in contact with insurgents.

Black smoke billows from the charred remains from a suicide attack on a civilian convoy on Highway 1 outside the US Marine Forward Operating base Delaram, a strategic and economic crossroads in southeastern Afghanistan located in Nimroz Province. The suicide attack was made using a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=71444418 killing three Afghans and injuring several others.
Canadian Soldiers sit in the heat, taking cover behind a wall as engineers destroy multiple IED's set by insurgents, targeting them during a multiple day operation aimed at attempting to clear the village of Chalgower in Panjwaii District, Kandahar, Afghanistan. Following this operation a brutal insurgency took hold in Chalgower and in the surrounding villages resulting in injury and death to numerous civilians, insurgents and soldiers without completely expelling the insurgents influence in the area.

Exhausted Canadian infantry from the Vandoos (R22R) Bravo Company sleep in a civilian compound occupied during the second of three days of fighting before continuing an operation to clear the area of insurgents in the Siah Choy area of Zhari District in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Zhari District (aka Zharey) located west of Kandahar City has long been an insurgent stronghold and the birthplace of the Taliban movement lead by Mullah Mohammad Omar in the 1990s. Cpl. Christian Bobbitt (foreground 2nd from left) age 23 and Sapper Matthieu Allard (rear far right) age 21 were killed by an IED about a month after this operation.

The Afghan landscape is littered with the remains of Russian military vehicles after the decade-long war with the Soviets in the 1980's ended, resulting in them withdrawing in defeat - fueling the legend that Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.Villagers and one of their elders, seen in the Sperwan area of Panjwaii District as Afghan Police (ANP) brought in from Maywand District patrol their village since the local police were too abusive and corrupt to deploy in the area during this clearing operation lead by US and Canadian Forces in Kandahar, Afghanistan.A US Air Force Reaper - an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) - sits in a hanger on an air base in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan on September 17, 2009. The Reaper is a hunter-killer UAV and is a larger and newer aircraft than its predecessor known as a Predator. These aircraft are frequently used to cover Canadian Operations in Kandahar.
