  • greenroom628, on 07/03/2008, -4/+376so that's why tk421 wasn't at his post...
  • inactive, on 07/04/2008, -5/+243He looks a little short for a stormtrooper...

  • Asberry, on 07/04/2008, -1/+133I hope that stormtrooper isn't there to teach those guys how to shoot.
  • humanerror, on 07/04/2008, -2/+116We're fighting the ewoks there so we won't have to fight them here
  • turnthepage, on 07/04/2008, -5/+83This picture might have been manipulated by photo editing software.
  • dasmonki, on 07/04/2008, -3/+70I wish I could digg a comment more than once.
  • TheWebSwinger, on 07/04/2008, -8/+61The force told Bush to do it.
  • sockpuppets, on 07/04/2008, -0/+52Give in to your anger! With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.
  • Aero347, on 07/04/2008, -7/+55Somehow I see Cheney as the emperor..
  • lupka, on 07/04/2008, -12/+58i'm tired of seeing this stupid thing.
  • Chaotyk, on 07/04/2008, -4/+45Neither of you belong on the internet
  • artfiend77, on 07/04/2008, -15/+55...cue people claiming America as an evil Empire in 3....2.....1....
  • EvilCan, on 07/04/2008, -1/+41I make jokes like this all the time on Xbox Live and people never understand me...and I cry...
  • cgg123321, on 07/04/2008, -3/+39Iraq = Tatooine
  • imapluralist, on 07/04/2008, -2/+38Darkside/Blackwater analogy?
  • mrblue182, on 07/04/2008, -10/+42This just proves what we already knew. America is evolving into the Empire.
  • gobuchul74, on 07/04/2008, -1/+30Actually, I'd bet the photo's legit. It's obviously a re-enlistment ceremony and when a person in the military re-enlists they choose who the officer will be that administers the oath (usually someone they respect) and they also have a choice of location, what they will be wearing (anything goes), and what other's will be wearing (within reason).

    A re-enlistee choosing to swear the oath dressed as a storm trooper would not suprise me.
  • aptanalogy, on 07/04/2008, -0/+28I would not have come to this realization had you not proffered an explanation. Excellent snatch, turnthepage.
  • green1152, on 07/04/2008, -4/+32That's by far the best comment I've read on digg for a long time! Good job.
  • mooseofshadows, on 07/04/2008, -5/+32I don't think you can celebrate the American day of independence with the British spelling of "neighbor".
  • Vich, on 07/04/2008, -2/+29These are not the weapons of mass destruction you are looking for
  • inactive, on 07/04/2008, -11/+36Stormtroopers modeled after Nazis.. .etc

    The irony going on here is fantastic.
  • LSDRunner, on 07/04/2008, -6/+30Much better than that "Trust" pic :p
  • ousthouse, on 07/04/2008, -2/+26You're too slow on the button. Oh, and happy 4th.
  • Berkana, on 07/04/2008, -0/+23Ah. Pardon my misconjugation.
  • sockpuppets, on 07/04/2008, -1/+24http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/elf_of_dori ...
  • pakakapa, on 07/04/2008, -1/+23girly boots?
  • jnuffnuffnomnom, on 07/04/2008, -0/+20all the time?
  • artfiend77, on 07/04/2008, -3/+22*sigh* Happy 4th neighbour.
  • xtinamo, on 07/04/2008, -2/+21There's no telling when and where these suicide bombers will hang glide next.
  • EvilCan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+17Yes.
  • passedoutghost, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16He's not a stormtrooper. He's there to rescue the princess!
  • b3astie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+15Finally, we control the planet farthest from the bright center of the Universe
  • Radan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+15But... According to Obi Wan, Stormtroopers are excellent marksmen...
  • yoshihama, on 07/04/2008, -0/+14Not true. You need to seriously read up on your Star Wars history. The saga was influenced by the works of Joseph Campbell which centered on a common mythos in human cultures, and the central themes such as the totalitarian empire are common throughout history. Moreover, if you're just looking at the style of the Stormtrooper armor, it was far more inspired by Japanese samurai than anything out of Nazi Germany. I have many (probably too many) books on the art and design of the Star Wars movies to back that up.
  • warlax27, on 07/04/2008, -0/+14Dick Cheney?
  • eleli, on 07/04/2008, -1/+15I sense a sitcom!
  • pennvneff, on 07/04/2008, -5/+18It's fun to dress up and play pretend, our President is quite fond of it as well.

  • datagod, on 07/04/2008, -4/+17"Troops" All suspects are guilty, otherwise they wouldn't be suspects, would they?
  • iJessicaRabbit, on 07/04/2008, -0/+13awww *hugs*
  • jnordb, on 07/04/2008, -0/+12Dugg for confessing your nerdliness.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/04/2008, -1/+13I hear it has better writing and less CGI than the last three Star Wars movies.
  • Aursquared, on 07/04/2008, -0/+12I hate my comment
  • Locke23, on 07/04/2008, -1/+12OMG! How did I miss that!? The soldier on the left has no hat on!
  • Myonosken, on 07/04/2008, -0/+11Digg down then digg up twice.
  • pagno, on 07/04/2008, -3/+14It finally has relevance. Too little too late.
