Semper fi 2/5 iraq 03

[Spaiseone]

recon by fire? wow!

hearing that makes you truly understand how out of hand things are, in Iraq. its unfortunate that our policies have trapped those young men and women into the defense not of our nation, but our pride. so many are just unwilling to admit to making a mistake. even if it means that generations to come must suffer for that infraction.

[artin74]

you american you think this war in iraq is right for who?you or iraqis?

I'm just waiting on one of these veterans to snap, and start going postal on the politicians that lied to send them there. It's not an unrealistic scenario: highly trained, and heavily armed PTSD sufferer realizes that he's been lied to his whole life, and suddenly snaps, cleaning up what he views as the mess, to prevent more of the same. There's a movie there, if not a tragedy in the waiting.

sitting in the carpark for a year waiting for the courage to go inside.

thats completely heartbreaking it should be a discreet and readily available service and there should be regular monitoring for ptsd. what kind of freedom did he have when he returned home? he came home to his own war.

[lastnymleft]

For every American soldier suffering PTSD, there are probably 100 Iraqi civilians suffering the same, or worse, TSD. And what services do they have to support them? None whatsoever. Reaching for an AK-47 to make it end quicker, is their only form of expression. Is it any surprise, then, that many do?

[thsmdrnlv]

i agree 100% but i was just commenting on the primary content of this particular video.

the sickening bit is the us government, you hear words thrown around like 'heroes' 'ultimate sacrifice' they act like they give a shit about u.s soldiers but they don't. they seem to be just tiny pawns in a big game to the republicans. you'd think they would at least have health care for the people who fought for them, but no. u.s is no more civilised or humanitarian than the countries they invade.

[runintothewind]

You people talking about soldiers/Marines/airmen as pawns of the Republicans... as if the party division was anything more than a way to play you for fools...

You don't even realize that 75% of the words from you mealy-mouthed civilians come across as more patronizing than any "look at the heroes" BS from politicians.

Quit making us the poster children for you own little personal purposes. We're nothing other than something to talk about to feel important and deep for people like you.

[OgoTomO]

[strandneuker]

what a stupid gung ho man. So macho, such a little man.

[cycimian]

I remeber an American movie called Red Dawn,

It was about the invasion of the USA. and the Freedom Fighters of America. Strange world.

[scentciti]

good report

[themengsk176]

I really hate how the majority of my country mispronounces 'Iraq'

It's Eh-ROCK, not EYE-RACK.

[ratonnewmex]

I KNOW ISN'T IT AMAZING HOW THE U.S. HAS SO MANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, FINE UNIVERSITIES, AND GLEAMING GROCERY STORES...AND SO MANY INCREDIBLY STUPID PEOPLE. AMAZING...MOST COLLEGE GRADUATES DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE IRAQ IS GEOGRAPHY WISE....BUT, i must say i do like this video. it is an incredible testimony on the will to live. but that is all. i do not believe that we should be over there. I wonder why a soldier would think that the looks on the Iraqi's faces justify MURDER? amazing.......

[neoc0n]

How many Iraqis do you think pronounce "America" (uh-mer-i-kuh) properly? It's rather superficial.

[platoAU]

you just proved the guys point of how stupid Americans are.. you made yourself an example.. like a lab-rat in an experiment..

In other languages they have different pronunciations and spelling for countries,Cities & towns..

Europeans pronounce Spain (Espana)...you pronounce it Spain.... Prague pronounced Praha So get an education before criticizing other peoples pronunciations...

[neoc0n]

Were you replying to my comment? I don't know if you realize it, but we're on the same side of this argument.

[platoAU]

he deserved to lose both legs and his head with his ridiculous "did the right thing" comment.. murderous piece garbage he is

[ratonnewmex]

YEAP, the consequences of evil... don't get me wrong. I have made wrong choices, but it is truly prphetic what it says in our Holy Bible.....what you reap, you will sow. If you perpetrate against others the demons will come back at you full force. DOWN WITH THE U.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baronmorris]

"Down with the U.S." is the wrong attitude. That's just more hate. That shit is contagious.

Down with the current U.S. policy and mindset.

Peace to all.
