Too bad he gets less recognition than gaga and those douchebags from jerseyshore. I'm not American but I have great respect for the US military, and it saddens me to see so many good people sacrifice so much and get no recognition back. Happens in every military around the world...a real pity.
To all you who think this is fake, type in James Blake Miller in Wikipedia. There is a whole page dedicated to this guy. I remember when this image first came out in newspapers and magazines.
@marlb0r015 no its when a marine has been in combat for too long and they just stare in an unfocused daze. most say they stare "further beyond" whatever that means.
@marlb0r015 Wrong. It only looks that way because of the cigarette. The cigarette is untouched by dirt and everything because it was in his pocket inside the cig package
@marlb0r015 All you have to do is watch the documentaries about James Blake Miller to know this is real and that its not photoshopped. Stop complaining and bitching about it. I am an American and I am proud. Believe me I don't think we should be involved with foreign countries like yours. I'd rather fix our American problems and watch all the other countries burn. But no, just like in your country, we have fucked up politicians who cause this sort of stuff for people like Miller. FUCK OFF
I shared days in the military with All Various Special Ops...Maybe only a couple were ever actually envolved in some real shit-so u never really saw the hardened.
However, My SGTMGR and 1st SGT both had the most Chilling Eyes. You hated to even look at em. They were also Ego Maniacs too.
I get to see the same stare from my Brother-Ex Marine, went throught the First Desert Storm in 92.
When hes pissed, most folks would shit thier pants just from his voice and looking at him.
You look any modern day Special Forces soldier in the eye and he will give you that stare and it sticks in your mind like a bad memory. I'm currently serving as an Australian Commando and all the guys in my squad have that same look, including myself. PTSD brought about by war will shake you to your core.
youra kucking assholes thinking the world is your !!!!! us lose vietnam and does not understand the world hates the us in the name of god stop bringin mor e war to the world stop making weapons those weapon bring terror to mexico and you think we al wrong i thiugh the us were not stupid but i see everything one day every people that us damaneg will take it back
@hopliteman To be fair, mainly becuase it was an extremist religious group, as opposed to the government. So it's 'fair' to disregard it as a war between two nations, until America invades the country. that's why the WMD's are always brought up.
@hopliteman because 15 out of the 19 terrorists from 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia and yet your stupid country blamed and carpet bombed and destroyed Iraq ... when will you American bullies ever learn?
@hopliteman ha i used to be just like you. hopefully soon you'll realize the true terrorists who attacked on 9/11 were the ones sitting in the oval office...
@hopliteman I am not going to bore you on technicalities but Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. A terrorist cell in Afghanistan did and your armies invaded, fair point. Secondly no declaration of war was made by any government state except the U.S in all the wars waged in the Middle East. Thirdly does an additional 30,000+ U.S deaths in the Middle East make you feel better knowing Bin Laden is dead?
@hopliteman don't see any link between Middle East and Vietnam... It's obviously not geographic, nor cultural... I guess the only thing in common is that US army has been there and american people still don't even know where it is...
Still, all these nationalist comments i read (from both sides) don't make sense in front of what is obviously a slightly disguised commercial for marlboro and tobacco companies in general (maybe not in Sinco intention, but the result is the same).
If you think this conflict and chain of violence started only on 9/11, you need to pick up a history book. Don't shame your heritage by being ignorant to it.
@hopliteman uh well....you could have prevented it....first of all...the U.S. SHOULDNT have trained and supplied the Mujahadin in Afghanistan when the Sovjets invaded it.....Theres even a video where Osama Bin Laden thanks the U.S. .... I guess "who throws the ball can expect it back" (a saying) there was a time when Afghanistan was almost like a regular country, Well war never ends and never changes, if we dont have war anymore...then we can stop calling ourself human...
I really like this video. This man is a hero to all. By looking at the picture, how do you know he was in war at the moment? Maybe he had to go in mud and water. Well anyways great video. OORAH! America is number 1!
@hopliteman Well dude, you could be right. I think so too. But his eyes can be from the sun,dirt,or etc. But now that I think of it, he probably did see beyond.
Thanks for the post; when I first saw this photo it spoke that this American Hero has seen it all. He will never look at the world the same and those who have never been where he has will never know the horror he knows...
@Reality10able hey guess what i dont really care were you there? you werent in fallujah ethier who are you to decide even if it was worse im dealing with my own problems...... and i think so what? worst place i haver been? ive never been there lol
by your comment i can tell your not a man and hardly a boy you have a lot to learn brother no war is sick! or coooool? taing another mans life is not rad! and neither are you hope you grow up soon buddy....take care
i will never forget fallujah the worst place i have ever been in my entire life. little kids would be sitting in their homes playing and next thing you know a god damn mortar goes off in their fucking house.i walked into buildings like those and saw what seemed to me like piles of flesh.im still recovering from the war and have became alot better then what i was.but i will never be the same i know i wont.just thinking about it right now is causing me to hold back tears. good music by the way bro
because the mortar supposed to target YOU and your bases why they need to bomb houses with mortar?! it's you who suspect any house and think there are some insurgents in it them B000m bombing it for no reason absolutely and sometimes for fun..yes for fun and there are some video prove that...so once they bomb the houses from the skey they tell you marines in the ground to go and check if there anything they need..bodies of insurgents and such
@IraqiGirl707 actually iraqigirl(and just to let everyone know this bitch wont leave me alone lol) i never shot a mortar in a combat zone but i do know that you shoot them in the direction that you think there is a threat i have told you this before. now you want to talk more bring your stupid shit to my channel thanks:)
@TheUsmcGOD why the jihadist fighters would think a normal iraqi house is a threat..it's you people think every iraqi is suspicious threat, again the mortar target only the american bases not houses.. and I'm not saying shit I'm replying on your lies you are trying to misinform people
@TheUsmcGOD it happen like that..right?that's why your soldiers have PTSD ends with commit suicide because they can't face the truth that they have hands in these crimes
@papermonkey17 your a kucking assholes thinking the world is your !!!!! us lose vietnam and does not understand the world hates the us in the name of god stop bringin mor e war to the world stop making weapons those weapon bring terror to mexico and you think we al wrong i thiugh the us were not stupid but i see everything one day every people that us damaneg will take it back mexican soldiers are dead and some times theirs families too think about the others nations!!!!!
It is very hard for any soldier to have to deal with anything that goes on over there. Have some respect MrFLICKYOLI. If you had to worry about being blown up, being shot at, or any of that crap you'd be fucked up too. Don't deny it. I'm not a soldier but I have problems from other things. People can be affected mentally or physically from a great many things. Some people have the will power to get over shit, but for others it takes longer. Hell, some things you can never get over.
@MrFLICKYOLI He fucking took a human life, you would be fucked up too if you were put in the situation he was in. He's recovering, have some compassion.
i wholesaler uk cigarettes ,please contact with my msn yitsot at hotmail doc com and newestbrands at hotmaill doc com , i have LB BH LM GV DRUM AMBER LEAF MARLBORO CAMEL NEWPORT 555 AND ALL brands , this is the best taste and i can make lowest price to you.
I could never understand all the negative obsession with the cigarette in his mouth. It's like some people just can't understand the cigarette. It's like there from another planet or something.
let me tell you something eliastc2007, this is not a fake cigarette, nor has this photo been photo shopped. This is James blake miller, a former United States Marine, who went through hell and back. You wouldn't understand unless you were there. This picture represents everything a marine went through in Iraq. Semper Fi Blake
Did you know , that he has PTBS ( "shellshock"-syndrom) ? his eyes look like a thing , that is called " thousand-yards stare" ... war destroyes people .. from inside and from outside
@lilshadynum1 yeah, but i´m german , and in germany it´s called PTBS = Posttraumatisches Belastungssyndrom, which, by the way, has the same meaning like PTSD ...
I picked up smoking when i joined. Crazy shit. i have seen my friends like this, no expression on their face, they just seem to have that one look like "I really don't want to be here." Cpl. Mike James 3rd B 11th infantry D still on leave Semper Fidelis soldier you have earned peace.
you know the fucked up issue is, i am a former u.s infantry marine that was in miller's platoon. i can witness this kid and my whole platoon never witnessed miller kill a girl or anyone for that matter. other than having his m-16 weapon being taken my lcpl carpenter and used to kill an insergant in fallujah. he is a liar, sad to say... quit being disrespectful to our lost friends in iraq douchbag.
ok veamos ....creo ke lo ke de verdad paso es que este kuate le disparo por error a su amigo, es pòr eso que kedo lokillo,,mas o menos asi como nacido el 4 de julio (recuerdan)....las repercusiones de la guerra quedan grabadas para siempre..lo ke le suceda a los marines no llena para nada el impacto de lo ke nosostros les hemos hecho a ellos matando a sus niños,mujeres y ancianos los que solo kerian un poko de libertad hemos sustituido sus busqueda de libertad por terror,,,IN GOD WE TRUST
You are a piece of trash that doesn't know what he's talking about. What do you mean we anyways? Did you go over there to kill families is that what you're saying? Because that is not what our military does.
translation:
tu eres un pedaso de basura que no sabe de lo que habla. Apoco tu fuieste a Iraq y matastes familias o a que te refieres? Porque los Marines no hacen eso.
personally i think the only way to overcome ptsd is to just tell someone you care about your expierience over there. my uncle served in ww2 and his family never knew that he was in war until like 15 yrs after the war has ended. i feel the american people need to hear and listen to the stories these men have. i hope iraq and afghanistan veterans will be more open about there expirences. i hope james miller is doing better
hey man, It's James Blake Miller , he's all spaced out there man, in a motorcycle gang bringin' drugs here,
I fucking hate people putting shit on here about I'm not his Cousin, what the hell to you peopel want,? a blood test?
lol,My moms sister'Maxi' "Remaried to a webber" , is blake's mom, and her ex-husband Jimmy Miller is his dad, but they split up when I was younger,He has two brothers He's the oldest, Todd has two little girl,"twins" Zoey and Cloe...and Michael ay the youngest,next cmnt.
hate to shit on your parade but he didnt kill anyone nor did he lose anyone in his platoon. i know his former plt. sgt. and a lot of this Marine's story is BS.
if he really is you're cousin, i hope you help him get his shit together...

no matter what country u live, but in army all most every one starts to smoke like me. the tobacco companys should start to sponsor soldiers.

you know the fucked up issue is, i am a former u.s infantry marine that was in miller's platoon. i can witness this kid and my whole platoon never witnessed miller kill a girl or anyone for that matter. other than having his m-16 weapon being taken my lcpl carpenter and used to kill an insergant in fallujah. he is a liar, sad to say... quit being disrespectful to our lost friends in iraq douchbag.

ok veamos ....creo ke lo ke de verdad paso es que este kuate le disparo por error a su amigo, es pòr eso que kedo lokillo,,mas o menos asi como nacido el 4 de julio (recuerdan)....las repercusiones de la guerra quedan grabadas para siempre..lo ke le suceda a los marines no llena para nada el impacto de lo ke nosostros les hemos hecho a ellos matando a sus niños,mujeres y ancianos los que solo kerian un poko de libertad hemos sustituido sus busqueda de libertad por terror,,,IN GOD WE TRUST

You are a piece of trash that doesn't know what he's talking about. What do you mean we anyways? Did you go over there to kill families is that what you're saying? Because that is not what our military does.
translation:
tu eres un pedaso de basura que no sabe de lo que habla. Apoco tu fuieste a Iraq y matastes familias o a que te refieres? Porque los Marines no hacen eso.

personally i think the only way to overcome ptsd is to just tell someone you care about your expierience over there. my uncle served in ww2 and his family never knew that he was in war until like 15 yrs after the war has ended. i feel the american people need to hear and listen to the stories these men have. i hope iraq and afghanistan veterans will be more open about there expirences. i hope james miller is doing better

hate to shit on your parade but he didnt kill anyone nor did he lose anyone in his platoon. i know his former plt. sgt. and a lot of this Marine's story is BS.
if he really is you're cousin, i hope you help him get his shit together...
