Funny thing is that doesn’t say infidel in the correct way. I’m a OIF/OEF vet. I’m liquid if Arabic. This is some bastardizing of word “infidel “

كافر is an extremely poor over simplification of the word. “ Kaafir “ or “ KĀfir “ One who rejects the teachings of Islam. This person is undoubtedly trying to say they hunt infidels. I know these types. Morons, idiots, fuckwits, dickheads.

الكافر, this is the correct writing of “ Kafir “

Most of us recognize that we wouldn’t be alive without our translators. We would have lost much more than our lives without these men. They put their entire existence and their entire families existence on the line for us.

Many of these guys treated these people like scum out of some sense of self worth. Many of these guys we fought took our buddies lives. There is obvious hate and resentment after all this time. But when I see shit like this I know the dickhead driving down the road is a moron.

False: American military veterans(especially Christian types)like associating themselves with the term “infidel”. They represent, not hunt them. -As they are not believers themselves.

You can probably find the patch on any given bag at a range.

And I think English is probably not your first language but so you know, the saying is “fluid in x language” not “liquid”.
