I would like to get names of soldiers that are in Iraq and the ones that are no longer with us, my corp is going to create a Memorial in a system using cans with their names on them. I would really like to get people to contact me with names. Thank you Khalidan

Your heart is in the right place, but I don't think it's a particularly great idea :(

With all due respect, I completely fail to grasp what dead US soldiers got to do with EVE?

Obviously his country is MUCH more important than yours.

In addition to this, cluttering up another system with tons of cans is really quite excessive.
I can understand the can graveyard with corpses because it's actually topical, but this is far out of place.

Obviously he imagines that his country is the only country in the world.

I'm tempted to go and plant the names of Muslin Martyrs in the same system then.

Maybe you could spend your time on something more useful, like getting war criminals imprisoned. Your president would be a good place to start.

If he actually anchors 4500 cans and names them, it'd be quite an impressive show of dedication. Arranged like a graveyard that's nearly 350km with 5km between each can in two directions.
It's still tacky as all hell, but I'd be impressed at least.

It'd also constitute can spamming, which - as much as I feel sorry for everyone of those soldiers killed - is an offense that may result in a warning and subsequent action from CCP.
I'd suggest another way of showing my support - maybe anchoring a single can?

Jeez man if I was an iraqi I'd have a hell of a time listing all those who died since 1991, it may annoy some people though despite them seeing themselves as the good guys just as the Americans see themselves.
good luck but I think this kinda stuff should be left out of game

Wrong forum.
You may also be looking at a ban for anchoring that many cans. They may let you off with the ban because of what they are but I don't see why they should.

It's unfortunate that someone can't request to honor their dead without politics becoming involved.

The dead are victims of politics in this case, it's kind of inseparable. |

sadly they have died because of stupid men and stupid politics (hello mr. Bush)
very hard to talk about them and not see the politics behind it

If the intention was to honour all the dead of that conflict then maybe you could. But considering a large portion of the planet pretty much hate the US for the war then its going to be difficult.
For instance if there was a can with the US death count, UK death count, Iraqi civilian death count, Iraqi pro western dead along with all the others then I could see the point.
Unfortunatley this being EVE if its not in high sec someone will actually come along to blow those cans up just to be an arse. This is the worst idea for a game ever.
