US veterans troubled by war trauma - 18 Nov 09

[Crystal0mask]

LOLz what a bunch of pussies, what did they think they went to war for? Picking flowers. XD

[reymysteriofan25]

@Crystal0mask fucked up.... but so true

[USPrivate1991]

We treat WW2 Vets like heroes, but show no gratitude towards veterans of Korea, Iraq etc. Our society has become backwards I hate to see what we have become

[Freedomvoicenews]

People CAN NOT SEE THE MEN AND WOMEN NEED LOVE AND LOTS OF IT MORE LOVE AND LESS WAR

[aceone1988]

It's funny when the ignorant one calls you ignorant of course there murders they are paid killers. It is every easy to see the reason why they are suicidal, Its because they have seen or committed some vile unspeakable act like rape murder of woman and children, and dont try to deny it there is a lot of evidence of what is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan even the white house is trying to block a lot of pictures from coming out in fear for these so called troop i.e. murders form getting killed

[USPrivate1991]

So every US soldier is a vile disgusting killer ? Its not the most pure hearted job but that doesnt make our troops cold blooded killers who rape and maim afghans and iraqis for fun. Sure there are the ones that are wicked, but how can you call them murderers if you dont know the whole story not just what the news reports ? Are the taliban and al qaeda not murderers then ?

[zizoubilly]

Those who fight for freedom (afghans) have *no* psychological problems simply because they're right and the occupiers are wrong!

[USPrivate1991]

Soldiers dont invade because we want to just fight. We have no choice really.

[zizoubilly]

You have no choice? Thats coz you don't have democracy! You have something I call corporacy its a thing where corporations control everything.

[Simirial]

Fascism is the term used by most people = when the government controls the corporations, like in Mussolini's Italy, or now in the US where the corporations own the government the end result is the same - Fascism

[USPrivate1991]

The US is a politically ungovernable state

[xxxxxforbiddenxxxxx]

Thats bullshit. Everyone has a choice. Instead of going there with guns and bombs and tanks to apparently help them why not go there to help in a peaceful way. Would u respond peacefully to people who came to ur country because they figured your country needed help and they had guns and bombs and tanks? Probably not. The government is unable to think logically apparently. And soldiers..... They can maybe learn to stand up for themselves and also for peace and for whats right.

[USPrivate1991]

Like I said, its chess. Nothing in a war is good, period. Neither side (the poor people who join the army and the poor people in the countries we invade) the only people who benefit are the ones who drive the fancy cars and wear suits. Like I said, you dont join the Military to Pick roses and plant gardens, you join knowing the task that might be handed to you. They dont say "hey lets invade Afghanistan".. Two sides that just keep kiling each other doesnt make anything right.

[aceone1988]

This is good murders killing them self.

[USPrivate1991]

Your ignorant in what way are they "murderers"

[zizoubilly]

Coz they kill!

[chingon711]

Bring 'em home Obama...We've had enough war....Nothing we can do to help those countries....We have to allow them to fight their own battles.

[USPrivate1991]

Man I fucking hate seeing my country's military being misused grossly. Men in suits use us for Monopoly and chess while they go home and sleep in a mansion and drive Luxury Sedans. I fear that with the over deployment of troops and growing casualties we might have to re start the draft to compensate for troop levels.

[REVOLTbydesign86]

@USPrivate1991 i know i feel like it could happen but i think the people would rise up finally against that, they didnt against the no WMD's, Torture of human beings in their name, or the fact thatt he wars are illegal, but im pretty sure if you tell timmy who drives the Lexus daddy bought him he has to cut his hair an go to war for his country even if the country is the aggressor all hell will break loose

[USPrivate1991]

This us disgusting seeing our Military personnel like this. People might look at them as cannon fodder, grunts etc. but they forget that our soldiers arent fucking robots, they can get stressed just like anyone else. These people in the white house have no idea what they are doing, they always scheme on things but they dont have the common sense to derail the failing plans until its too late.

[aceone1988]

You might like these murders I dont give a crap but we dont and we dont have to like them we see them for who they are paid killers for the USA.

[covertcovenant]

I strictly against wars and using poor lower income folks to fulfill some rich peoples power schemes out of greed and then lie to the gullible public the way it has been custom to do for thousands of years throughout the civilizations. I do understand your point of view, and I would not call everybody a killer, I am sure the tree with many bad apples has a few good ones on there too that have some sort of codex of justice that even though the situation might be hectic, dehumanization is a no go.

[USPrivate1991]

Your right. I enlisted in the military because I believe in the Military and I take pride in the US despite the evilness and greed of some leaders. Everything is a chess game for money. I dont believe in conspiracy theories that people come up with but i do believe that the government does stupid things out of greed. The gentleman said that uS soldiers are killers. Everyone is a killer in the theatre of war, there is no innocence. Whether your an American/Iraqi/afghan or whatever

[Geo408]

Comments allowed now. Nice.

[afiste]

Unbelievable!!!!

[desertWiz]

the question is, who will pay for psychological damage or poor iraqi's and afghans?

[WellIAMScottish]

Excellent question. How incredibly damaging have these wars been to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq? So many dead, so many wounded, so many forced to flee in terror, and now so many being born with birth defects.... There are no words to describe how horrific this must be for these victims. Why doesn't anyone in the US care about the victims of the horrors they inflicted on these poor people?

[desertWiz]

In this world if you are not playing the capitalists' game well, your humanity is easily overlooked. Victims of the empire have only God to seek help from. it is tragic.

[USPrivate1991]

We do. The Media just portrays us as ONLY the good guys. And like there are a llot of us who dont want people to suffer, there are lots of people who just dont care. Our society has become a selfish arrogant passive society in whicj people care more about Britney Spears and Lebron James than they do real issues

[micahgee]

if you can't get Americans to care about Americans, how are you going to get them to care about Iraqi's and Afghani's?!

[USPrivate1991]

Is that a rhetorical question ?

[xxxxxforbiddenxxxxx]

couldn't have sed it better myself!

[USPrivate1991]

True. Both sides are paying for the decisions people in suits make.

[REVOLTbydesign86]

@USPrivate1991 no shit people in suit in the congress who have large stake holdings in the companies involved in the war. hmmm wonder why they never turn down spendinf or the war?

[xxxxxforbiddenxxxxx]

Exactly! We're paying all this money for people who agree to be put in situations like this to get mental help because they are too stressed and seen so much murder and other bad things. And yet how about these other people who have canadian/american troops in their country with tanks, bombs, guns.. whos going to pay for their mental help and their country bing restored to what it was before the war. They have things worse then us and we go and make shit worse. Bullshit

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

"They" have not SEEN murder "They" have done it and that`s why "They" kill them selfs

[GFUNK714]

@quinnmcguee I blame ourselves for doing nothing. I always wondered why they didn't have a law that the son or daughter couldn't be the next president but kings and queens still exist and the blood line means everything in this matter who controls the sheep.
