Just passed this guy on the 40, doesn’t it seem a bit contradictory? God bless America on one side and the guy with an AK on his back on the other?

Couple of thoughts....

1) the AK is a magnificent piece of kit. Depending on the situation there’s a great chance I’d pick one up before an AR.

2) the Sikh’s are a great bunch of people, with a surprisingly strong value structure. Some that I know personally love America more than some members on this board, and show it daily. They are good people.

(This is predicated on my assumption that the driver is Sikh, and not of Arab, based on the large influx of Indian drivers)

Thank you for the information, but out of curiosity, and I’m guessing this has a lot to do with the issues that our military faced, how do you tell the good from the bad?

Well, I don’t think any of our military was in India, so I don’t think they are running into any Sikh’s :)

The bad ones are the ones shooting at you!

In terms of good turban vs bad turban...stateside, the Islamic people that hate us try to emulate "us". They tend to dress more like tourists than jihadists. They'd also rather burn a truck that says God Bless America than drive one. The Sikhs pay hell at some truck stops. They don't try to be what they aren't. The guys that dress GQ, shouting into their phone while giving you a look of disdain...those are the ones...the "bad" ones.

All the Sikhs I've dealt with have been stand up.

I have some Sikh customers and some that are Muslims, you can totally tell the difference once you've delt with them. We have a cardboard trump cutout in my boss's office and the Sikhs like and the Muslims don't..and the Muslim ones are just bigger assholes in general in my experience.

I didn't want to say it...but sounds about right in the fields I've been around. In all fairness though, been around a lot of assholes!

I believe Sikhs are the only ones to wear turbans outside of their country.
