Agreed Bushman, but again, context. No one I was in with ever used those terms intended as a racial slur. Merely enemy reference. We called them alot of things. Iraqis, nomads, assholes, losers, and idiots as well as many more. I'm not advocating going to the local mall and pointing at people yelling "Raghead!". Certainly if you address your commander as "raghead" you will surely be punished. I'm saying when it's used in the right context, I don't find it inappropriate. I can make virtually ANY word sound ugly if I want to bad enough.
You're welcome to disagree with that, and I'm not trying to change your mind. It's just my point of view.
