Hum,
Yeah, i think, it is inappropriate in the modern Olympic games to mention political views.
>>says that if he weren’t in the Olympic team, he would be in Iraq shooting American soldiers.
Difficult to know from what perspective (`we` don`t live in Iraq) he was talking from i think...And English isn't his first language.
Perhaps he meant if he said that if he wasn't in the Olympic team, he would be in a `war zone` , and defending himself/family/country etc...
Perhaps he's a keen photographer... :crazy:
To me, it`s a minor remark...and no big deal, and best forgotten about...best to keep the politics out ...
