Another Photoshop request

Hello, as some of you know I am a Marine, and was thinking about a deal for the rear window of the Camaro. The term Camaro is from the word Comrad, your battle buddy. Id like to see something like this, as its very important to me. Any ideas are welcome and any help or photoshopped picture would be awesome and motovating. Thank you!

I know the origin, but not too many people do, and if you put Camrad on the window, most people will be thinking is "COMRADE", as in someone in the communist party.....or Russia.........you might want to think about that. No need to bring any undo or unwanted attention to your car. People can and will be ignorant.

I hate to break it to you, but the comrad he was referring to in his first post was actually a misspelling of the word comrade.

Which, by the way, is not a word meaning "a member of the communist party." It means friend or brother, and many communist (or similar movements) happen to use it because they feel a sense of brotherhood.

No offense meant, but it sounds to me like you're the ignorant one. The cold war ended a long time ago, buddy.

there's probably gonna be some people out there that will immediately think "russia", but from the sounds of it, other armed forces people will know the difference, and are gonna respect that i would hope.

if you use a font like this however.... everyone's gonna think "Russia"

well, seems you are the one taking OFFENCE, and are the IGNORANT ONE. Look it up in Websters (http://www.websters-online-dictionar...nition/comrade. BOTH difinations are there. so who is the ignorant one now. The fact remains that a LOT of people still think of the sterotyical russian comment. and not its true meaning......... I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want ANYONE screwing around with my ride because of their misunderstanding of the meaning of the word.

oh children. Listen, I have the Proud To Serve-US MARINES plate, so I am not worried about people giving my the confused dog look, its just very important to me because recently I lost a very,very close brother, who I graduated boot camp with and we would always talk about this car. I owe him the Honor he is entitled to, and this is the way I see best. I also apologize for the incorrect spelling and did not mean to start an argument among fellow Camaro enthuist.

Why are Texans and Okies always fighting? Where's the love?

Gotta admit the Texan was right though. Webster's don't lie.

Dictionary may be right but I'll pass on the Texans being right part.

It must be a regional thing because no one out here associates that word with Russia. Sure, everyone knows that Russians used that word in movies, but I couldn't see it being a problem here.

I bet you Texans call soda "pop" too

Growing up in Oklahoma we called it pop. Down here it's all coke. Seriously, I can tell a waitress that I want a coke and she'll ask what kind.

Actually it depends on where in Texas you are.

South it's Soda, north it's pop.

Dont mean to be rude but I posted this thread to pay respect to a fallen brother and it turns intoa debate and I just want some help doing so. Normally I wouldnt care about such off topic conversations, but he is very dear to me and looking for straight answers.
