War - Part Two: Anybody's Son Will Do (1 of 6)

[akko439]

I don't need to be programmed to kill... I would just do it! FFFUUU brainwashing.

[108Dax]

07:33 this is where the host says to the cameraman, 'im going to lean against this thing and look natural, like i live here and then say some enlightening stuff. yeah, thats gonna get them ladies hot. right?"

[Inediblehulk]

Whoa. There was a dude wearing a Bose t-shirt on that bus! Has that ever happened before or since?

[EmanGtown]

AMERICA fuck Yeah!

[KathrynBacho]

Still want to be Marine. Even more now after seeing this movie.

[VoteLib3rty]

@KathrynBacho That's too bad. You were born of divinity and should hold out for something more meaningful and fulfilling. The same people that destroyed the world economy own and control the militaries of the world and pit them against each other. They own and control both sides of every conflict. Sadly, soldiers are just used as pawns. Read Pawns in the Game by William Guy Carr

[CrazyEddi3]

@VoteLib3rty Kissinger is to blame for this "power is the greatest aphrodisiac"

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@CrazyEddi3 actually EVERY tyrant, king, emperor, dictator, czar, madman, communist, socialist, liberal and obamunist already knows this. did i forget to mention the clintonistas?

[basskick10]

@KathrynBacho I find that very unfortunate. You may convince yourself that you're protecting a country or protecting U.S. citizens, but you'll be doing so at the potential expense of other people's lives. You know one of every five suicides in the U.S. are committed by ex-military? If what you're doing is so courageous and righteous, why the large number? I promise you: you join the force, you will return as a human being.

[KISSUSMC1986]

@basskick10 Our military members swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the U.S...". In carrying out that task, the military is called on to kill others when necessary. The un-natural act of killing another human being requires desenstization. However, military desensitization is controlled and balanced and is a product of intense research. The average youth in the US is desinsitized by video games and movies/tv which do not have controls and safe guards built in to balance.

@KathrynBacho So what you're saying is, you're retarded?

[usmcnyc]

Anybody's son will do....i guess that's why when i went to Parris Island in 99 we started with about 90 in my platoon and graduated about 55-60.

[sgtcrab1]

@usmcnyc If we were in a conscripted army in a real war everyone gets through. I served 65-68. Most were draftees. They all got through and made good soldiers. Today's army is a carer choice and is very small in number.

[BajaGordon]

get off your knees private

OFF YOU KNEES

lol

[donsargent]

this guy makes it seem so evil.

wtf do you think school is? the teach you what they want you to know and get you to conform to rules. of course not everyone goes along.

society is the same thing, your grown up to be idiots that are supposed to listen to the media watch tv and get a nice job. unlike society you don't have to enlist, in most countries

[konman001]

@donsargent

I do not think it is his intention to make it look "evil" - he is simply disecting what war is about in these series. He was in the Navy himself and does not pass me as a tree-hugging hippy. . . so I think he has right to say wha he says during the documentary.

[basskick10]

@donsargent What's ironically so funny, is that a lot of guys who leave the military have a serious problem adjusting to the society in which you mention.

It's natural, as a human, to want to understand how and why things work. Which is why school and subsequent rules are so important

It is NOT natural for a human to kill another human just because they are told to. Humans make choices, marines do not.

[surfinaustin18]

they are the same thing? fuck that! Marine Corps is so much more than any other countries military force

[Triplesod]

@surfinaustin18 Arf!

[VictorCreek42]

while militias should be supported, military indoctrination can eat my ass.

[WPNSCO31]

I am proud to be a Marine machine gunner. I didn't do it for money, I did it so I could fight for freedom. Tyranny is the norm, liberty the exception. Enjoy your free lives.

[Dreaded88]

@WPNSCO31 From one vet to another: Thank you for your service as a machine gunner!

[fallenempireoverdrve]

@WPNSCO31 i not sure what u fought or are fighting for its not liberty freedom etc.good luck living though

[CaliYoungGun1991]

I want BDUs

[aberserk9]

According to Henry Kissinger "Military men are dumb,

stupid animals to be used as pawn for foreign

policy". And he should know, the old warmonger.

[SonofSpardah2010]

Watch Full Metal Jacket.

[apelsinas69]

all armys is just monkeys making places

[Thrashaero]

this is why you join the air force if anything. you get the same benefits, less brainwashing. in fact a lot of my coworkers and people in general were a little bit pissed off with the whole 'bush doctrine' pre-emptive idea of war. it was nice to know it wasn't unheard of to disagree with the foreign policy while in the military.

[Thrashaero]

that is not to say, however, that the air force doesn't have brainwashing. it certainly does, and all the ingredients of bullshit are there. but at least it's nowhere near on the level of army and marines. not only that those branches generally have idiots in them. it still takes a while to deprogram oneself and realize the many levels of dehumanization and idiocy of the military in general.

[robertwc82]

@Thrashaero but its only a little bit of brainwashing.

isnt it ok so long is its just a little bit? lol.

[digitaldissent]

Thank you for uploading this.

[nondor13]

Bless you for uploading this.

the military may have it pulled.

[velio70]

This documentary is spot on. it doesn't matter if it was shot in 1983. The training has barely changed at all.

[deliciousmorton]

i graduated parris island in september, 1994. 1st Battalion, Company D. if i could go back in time, i would have went straight to college instead.

[mrhow22]

@deliciousmorton you joined in a peace time what do you have to bitch about ? let me gusse you got kicked out too

[deliciousmorton]

@mrhow22 no, there's just more to be gained at a college.

[madridcr91]

@deliciousmorton Y?

[cassius969]

@deliciousmorton Yeah today many kids dont have a choice. Join the army or no monies for college.

[digitalrambler]

This is EXACTLY why I told the NAVY and the Air Force Recruiters to go F#$# Themselves. No matter how much money they were going to give me for college. I take a huge student loan over getting REPROGRAMMED to kill any day

[britishairborne]

@digitalrambler Good job you didnt tell them your reason i doubt they would even let you fill the forms out.

[YongyoonKim]

@britishairborne The U.S. has a shortage (relative), so it's highly unlikely that would happen.

[RichardTaylor1800]

@digitalrambler Well, yeah. But we need soldiers. In any case, it's not entirely reprogramming. If you're not capable of doing what they train their men to do, they'll let you go. Reprogramming would entail turning anyone anywhere into killers. Some people literally cannot do it.

[DBCOOPER888]

@digitalrambler What do you have against killing? Every species alive does it.

[Raspout1981]

@digitalrambler And to get killed...which they probably hope in order to save the education money they promised you.

[mikethern]

@digitalrambler you are an idiot. Air Force boot camp is a vacation compared to Marine boot camp. The only thing the Air Force would teach you to kill is a fly.

[mrhow22]

@digitalrambler some body will do the killing and dying so you can take the loan out and take your fat ass to school

[digitalrambler]

@mrhow22 that is just sad.  War isn't necessary.

[AEnemaBay]

@digitalrambler

Quit being a vagina.

[TheMatthew2424]

@digitalrambler most people turn it off in civi life...what do you think you'll come out like rambo or something? you think to highly of yourself. The chances of seeing frontline action is slim and it will become just like any other daily job you get paid for.

[lectrick]

@digitalrambler 4 years USAF, all it left me with afterwards was more integrity, less virginity, a broadened worldview, and great memories. It does not have to be like this!

[basskick10]

@digitalrambler Thank you! They want you to kill for freedom. Freedom through violence and death? I highly doubt it.

[cassius969]

@digitalrambler I wonder if during the war on terror more loans have been turned down.

[ingvem]

FUCK WAR AND FUCK BUSH!!!!

[taggartjs]

@ingvem Yeah, fuck Bush...uh...wait a minute. Wasn't he president, like, a couple years ago? Oh, I know! Fuck Obama! LOL

[ingvem]

@taggartjs fuck them both then..

[taggartjs]

@ingvem Um...eeew.

[pesesaru]

Ha, the user's name that uploaded this is rather witty.

[jonasw88]

@pesesaru How is it witty? It appears to be a fairly oblique 1984 reference to me... unless I'm missing something.

[Earthlazarus]

@jonasw88 A better question is, how is it "oblique"?

[hardt92]

@pesesaru I thought the exact same thing. Just got done with the book in fact.

[VJRainbowPuddle]
