Funeral at Army Recruiting Station

[FlagFlyingHigh3]

They should be charged with defamation for this. they are using the names of dead service members to try to toy with peoples emotions and to push there political point im sure most of those men and women that were read off knew the risks of the job they chose

[jkwagner7]

How about not letting our American flag touch the ground!

[price25u]

They should spend a year in Iraq first and then establish a real opinion on things.

[deathhax]

@price25u I think the point is theyre toop smart to go there... try and get the point, it helps

[thlegendishere2009]

WOW DONT YOU LOVE THE FACT THAT ALL THESE STUPID PEOPLE ARE RICH NOW SINCE THEIR LOVE OE SERVED MAYBE IF WE SHOULD TAKE ALL THESE SO CALL PEACE LOVERS AND SEND THEM TO THE WAR TORN PLACE AND LET THEM SEE WHAT REAL TAKE PLACE TO GIVE THEM THE ABILTY TO RUN THERE MOUTH IM SICK OF THIS WHINING

[applemonkey187]

WE join because WE want to.WE know the risk.

WE live and die for our country!if you dont fight for your country .....WHO WILL.

I am ready to deploy ,engage and destroy the enemy of the U.S.

and i am also ready to die for the freedom's these people have just expressed.

even tho i dont agree with them!!!!.....

[bw01a]

Despicable emotional liberals. This is a disgrace, and you don't deserve to live in a country as great as the USA. Please move to Iran and share your stupid viewpoints there right before we nuke it.

[IamYou86]

@bw01a Since when did America become the punk bully of the world? America has no right to invade sovereign nations in case you didn't know. Let us nuke everything that we fear....Thank you for reaffirming my initial belief that we humans need to be wiped off the face of the earth and start over with some other life form that won't cause it's own extinction.

[jguil]

Did this girl say "do something better with their lives"? So she is actually degrading those in the service saying civilians are better than the military because they joined?

And they say they're here to honor the troops.

Everyone that walks through a recruiter's door knows that we are at war and you have a chance to die. These people think they're better than us and smarter than us and we can't think for ourselves so they should do it.

And they say they're honoring our troops.

[omghelloduh]

these people are sick

[gloria45]

ok im a democrat who is TOTALLY against the war in Iraq, but you got to remeber that the men and women who died enlisted. Most of them knew they were going to Iraq. So why take that sense of Pride away from them.

[Dogmeat1950]

what do you mean most new? when you join the military or any military in the world you know you could be in a war.

also stfu dumb white bitch in vid.

this is a fucking disgrace! those flags are touching the ground! !!!!! your mocking the soldiers! fucking hippies.

[gloria45]

because thats the first thing they tell army/marines. Down at MEPS, well in my case it was.

[Dogmeat1950]

what's the first thing they tell you at meps? rofl. first thign they tell you is need to see your ID an Social, ok now go sit an wait for testing is the first thing they tell you.

[gloria45]

ok after testing and stuff, thats what they say during the medical breifing.....picky

[Dogmeat1950]

right........ make some sense

[SeanRandy81]

There will always be an army. Go ahead and keep protesting...if the U.S. Army does not make it's mission...and they have for the past 4 years...then there would be a draft! Do you wan't that? Stop the bullshit and support the warriors of this great nation! BTW...I'm a U.S. Army recruiter in the silicon valley of California, and I LOVE being a recruiter!

[davisbest]

if they marines, this wouldn't have happened...they would have won!

[yopabs]

these people are are spitting on the serivce, this is no tribute! i bet anyone of you those dead men and wemon will tell you they would do it again if they had a choice...

[NaziPrescottBush]

Another false Flag operation incited War that the Banks are financing.

Man, can you imagine the record Profits the Corporate elite reap over the dead bodies of Soldiers, and the American sheep and the John Wayne wannabe Flag wavers still fall for it every few years.

History repeats itself, and still they do not Learn.

It would be Hilarious, if it was'nt so Tragic.

[Dogmeat7]

making fun of john wayne? least he did what he could do to help the U.S an support the troops.

[NaziPrescottBush]

making fun of john wayne? least he did what he could do to help the U.S an support the troops

Yes he did, he did soldiers everywhere a great favor when he finally Died of Lung cancer, which shut his Stupid Propaganda spewing mouth Piece, which was partially responsible for the Death & Injury of many American Soldiers, but was extremely financially beneficial to the Fascist Corporate Military/Industrial Complex & the Private Banks that Fund both sides of War & Conflict.

[Dogmeat7]

O ya dumbass, read some history,Prescott Bush did not fund Hitler. He funded Fritz Thyssen, an opponent of national socialism who ended up fleeing Germany also. do you even know what true fascism is? cause it's never really been tried hitler had NAZISM. in fact Fascist style goverment has never really been tried because ppl that wanted it made it into somthing else.

[KRSBlair]

Protesting here is not the place. Someones gotta fight. Its sad but wars are fought and death comes. God Bless all of the United States soldiers.

[PARKEREAL]

young boys and now girls die for old rich men

there is no answer only continuation when i am old maybe your kids will die for my bank account and feelings i will wrap my self proudly around the flag like a real chickenhawk give a lying speech or whatever

[macalatus]

People who use my fallen comrades as tools for their twisted, fucking agendas are just plain fucking sick.

GET A LIFE!!

[vadwayne1964]

Only in America can grown adults screw up the world then send their children off to die for it. If war is right, shouldn't it be the adults who die? Was your son or daughter born to die for you?

If you had a beaf with your neighbor would you send your CHILD to defend you? IF THE PRESIDENT SENDS YOUR CHILD OFF TO WAR, SHOULDN'T HIS CHILDREN GO TOO?

THE FACT IS, IF WE DIDN'T GO TO WAR EVERY 10 YEARS, IN 20 YEARS WE WOULD HAVE A MILITARY WITH NO COMBAT EXPERIENCE.

[resetone]

You know nothing of facts. Sending your own children off to fight for you? How about children, like ME and brave others, going off on our own fucking will to fight for this nation and all it has given us? Sleep tight vadwayne, ill protect America, seeing as you're too much of a pussy to do so.

[albatrossforlife]

Vadwayne1964 is a loser. He obviously got turned down for the army after high school and holds resentment since all his friends probably enlisted. Get a life loser and stop trying to make decisions for other people.

[navymexican]

Something to keep in mind when you prosecute your next protest. Please don't let the flag touch the ground, it's disrespectful.

[Paladin1441]

If you're going to play TAPS..DO IT RIGHT! AND GET SOMEONE WHO FUCKING KNOWS HOW TO PLAY IT!

[eckhard]

lol at the down syndrome retard

[Badjedidude]

I would go piss on the coffins, then go right in and enlist.

[scooniepenn]

I agree with one of the posters on this board; If I die I dont want you uttering or using my name to further your cause.

[salsero4U2]

No ones gives of shit about your views or your sorry ass protest.

[cutmullets]

People like this are what we call "Attention Whores"

[antondiep]

i dont see why this has to be done at the recruiting centre. the men and women who sign up for the job know and understand the risks they take, otherwise they wouldnt do so.

[UCHM]

Every hippie committing this seditious demonstration should be arrested and deported, along with their entire family.

[oc714dub]

fuck you and everything you believe in you chicken shit faggot. your destorted views on what is and what isnt acceptable are shared by few repugnant jingoustic republicans

[tylerpharaoh1989]

In WWII we lost 500,000 of the greatest men that have ever lived. I'm so glad hippies like this didn't exist then, otherwise Hitler might have won the war. We are fighting today an enemy worse than the Nazis. These people have no respect for life what so ever, if those religious fanatics got a hold of these damn hippies they would lop their heads off for not being Muslim. You people have no respect for the dead soldiers who gave their lives to defend against those insurgents.

[danzig73079]

Amen to that!!!

[tylerpharaoh1989]

If I got killed in Iraq, I don't want a bunch of hippies using my name, and my family's suffering to further their efforts.

My recruiters didn't lie to me about anything, they said I will go to combat, I could get killed or wounded. What else is there to lie about? I didn't get any bonuses, I'm not joining because I can't get a good job, I'm doing it because I want to waste some religious fanatics, and serve my country while doing so.

GOD DAMN HIPPIES!

[cyclist14]

People join up under there own free will, these lazy civies just sit around and cry.

USMC all the way, ORRAHH!!!

[soldiersangelforever]

Not u but these stupid ass people on this video:)

[soldiersangelforever]

YOUR FUCKING STUPID!!!

[Marine4220]

If I saw these ass holes id sign right infront of them. Fucking cunts, who do they think they are to put this shit there. Everyone who signs up knows this is what can happen, we dont need to be reminded of it so fuck off.

[mrynamikz]

this is such a disrespect to all those dead soldiers..

[mbkc03]

just as bad as the phelps family.

[saintrambone]

The regime in power in the USA is the enemy to humane mankind. We should encourage our people to take contracts to kill our enemies and to remove their buildings on American soil. The regime has robbed us of everything. Kill them. Collusion and technology is the only way to wipe them out. Fire with fire. Mobile Audit Club

[jaraha]

This demonstration sucks. It isn't a protest unless someone gets tasered or pepper sprayed.

BORING

[kimberlya231]

peacepassion-Apparently you need to grow up. No one is going to kill your family. I never said that. You don't have to worry about that in the United States of America. Maybe if you were over there were are soldiers are. Thats when you might have to worry. And thats exactly why they are over there fighting for us to protect our families and our freedom. I will not post anything else to your comments. Its a waste of my time. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!!

[kimberlya231]

to peacepassion-Do I need to say anything more, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!!!!Read it and suck it up!!!!!

[peacepassion]

to kimberlya231 - Um, okay. Take away my freedom, but please don't kill my family.  Thanks.

[raouldeming]

See the car in this video? The woman who owns that LIED TO GOLD STAR MOTHERS. She told them the car is intended as a memorial and not a protest. The mothers said as a memorial they had mixed emotions, but if it was a protest they objected. So here it is at a protest, so it is very clean that she LIED to parents who lost a child. The woman who owns this car is a grave robbing ghoul to steal the goodwill felt towards the fallen and use it for her purposes.

[kimberlya231]

These people are a disgrace to our country. If they were actually smart they would UNDERSTAND that people like my husband and many other men and woman who serve are the reason they can stand there and have freedom of speech. They need to be taught that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!!!!!!! May God Bless Our Troops, the ones over seas and the ones at home.

[peacepassion]

To kimberlya231 - Reality check: YOU KILL PEOPLE. You know what, repress me, whatever, but don't kill my family. Thanks.

[fghtmeun]

How do you people dishonor my flag, I am proud to serve

[batch2009]

My brother is fighting in Iraq so stupid people like you have the freedom to do this. When you say bring our soldiers home, your acctually hurting them, because they feel they aren't doing enough. Instead of protesting band together, get money and send our soldiers care packages!

[peacepassion]

to batch2009 - Um, "stupid" people like us are doing this BECAUSE your brother is fighting in Iraq.

[rodneyc86]

Well, it's easy to see that you've taken on a different approach when it comes to the whole issue. We're both NCO's, so it's not a good thing for the two of us to bicker at each other, especially in front of this many people. I call a truce to end this nonsense.

[rodneyc86]

I'm a SSgt as well as a combat vet. I know that my efforts overseas were not in vain, however, it pisses me off when people try to say otherwise. Also, as far as the language, it sickens me to think that a fellow SSgt would try to pull that politically-correct bullshit. We're in the military. We have a proud, yet colorful heritage that has existed as long as this country. I, honestly, don't really trust a fellow troop, or a leader for that matter, who doesn't have a few bad habits.

[jasonangle]

Sad to see a bunch a punk children that don't understand freedom disrespect something they are to afraid to do, or to selfish to understand what real sacrafice is.

[bigkid7781]

I feel that people like this just needs to leave this country they dont do anything for it anyways and yes i can say that cause i fight for this country i think that if you cant stand behind our troops feel free to stand in front of them. people like this is know as dee dee dee

[WhiteShark392]

The coffins are too small. I've seen a lot of dead occupiers and they're definitely too fat to fit into those tiny coffins...unless it's just their blown off arms and legs or something.

[Paladine71]

WhiteShark392,

All of us can only hope that you are the next victim. May your arms and legs be torn off by those you side with.... If we are occupiers, why don't we ever keep the countries we defeat? Idiot.

[WhiteShark392]

Occupations can end, you know. But clearly, you don't know American history. Hawaii is still under U.S. control as are other territories. You still have major bases in many countries where the population opposes your presence. And in your recent attempts in Korea and Vietnam simply failed. And on, and on, but you're too brainwashed to think.

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Hawaii is a state you meathead.

White you hate America, and it shows...

[Paladine71]

Who doesn't know history??? Russia formed the USSR of countries it conquered using an evil methodology called communism. It tried to spread to Korea, but we stopped it. It conquered Vietnam because assholes like you supported it against freedom. Ever ask yourself why the "anti-war" crowd only protest American military power? I never see them protest communist dictators. The Worker's World Party (communists) organize the majority of anti-war gatherings. Ever wonder why???

[rodneyc86]

I'd love to see you carry your punk ass over there with me and my squad and see if you can hack it. We're some of the finest warriors the world has seen. Then again, you have to take your head out of your ass in order to see and understand that. I don't regret serving my country one bit. I'm getting ready to head out for my third combat tour, and I'm still as willing to do my job now as I was when I first signed up. If you weren't there, then shut your fucking hole.

[peacepassion]

To rodneyc86 - Perhaps if you had better conflict resolution skills than "punk ass . . . take your head out of your ass . . . shut your fucking hole" then you wouldn't feel the need to kill people in the event of a disagreement.

[rodneyc86]

Yeah because all of us combat veterans are just psychopathic killers. You know, I'm tired of this fucking stigma, and it's people like you who throw it out there. Many of those protest groups don't give two shits about us anyway. They just want to have something to bitch and make a scene about. You want to talk about conflict resolution? Follow me and my squad onto the battlefield.

[Dmasterman]

Funerals are to honor the dead. Not to spit on them. These kids no nothing of what the soldiers have been through. Only soldiers will know that.

[teeth47]

The flags on the ground are offensive.

[felo49]

Being a Gulf War Vet I'm offended about this. If you want to protest about the war find all of us that have been in the military have fought for you to have this right. But don't you ever put a coffin on the ground and don't let my American Flag touch the ground either.

[blazak]

A year after coming home from Iraq, AJ Jefferson is still fighting the war in eerie nightmares about the bomb that left him and two comrades seriously wounded. The 21-year-old soldier was diagnosed severe post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. Now he is re-running the attack in his nightmares. "I have the dreams every night," he said. "My brain will not let go of it."

[BrigaderSeth]

the he shouldn't have gone, duh

[wrestler08]

Once again, someone who thinks they know the constitution, and misuses it too their advantage.

[USAFAlohalani]

Although I do have to say.. I agree... What would everyone say if they did away with recruiting and went back to the draft. All those stupid ass people who are there downgrading the military would then have to face it themselves... someone send them.

[SoaringEagleWings]

You probably know enough to know how people react to a truth that they don't want to face. I admire your courage. Who knows who may have been saved by your efforts.

[shanehester]

Shut down the recruiting stations!!! That way we can draft your dumb, pot smoking, hippie children. They will be sent through the door first.

BRING BACK THE DRAFT!!!!

[USAFAlohalani]

First of all as a military member I am offended... and secondly that lady EFFed TAPS all up. And they were there to honor the fallen???

[Keypotian]

In the military also and i agree.. dnt feel this honored anyone, but def offended me

[djones31]

Are these people serious? Soldiers have fought and died for these people to have this kind of freedom of speech. The United States military is one of the ONLY militaries in the world that is an all volunteer force. No one is forced to serve. Or we could just bring the draft back. So, if you don't like the military then fine it cost you nothing pay them no mind. Try to go over to Iraq and do your little protest there and see how it works out!!

[deekellan]

They couldn't even memorize a speech-they read it from a script.Who is that moron playing "Taps?" She didn't even play it right.What about the Down's Syndrome kid? They USED him as propoganda.If the military used a Down's Syndrome kid to get THEIR point across, they'd be hung out to dry.I pity them. They couldn't even dress appropriately for the occasion. How offensive: the fake caskets. They make me sick, and I used to be a tree-hugger.

[DarthAbercrombie]

As a US Soldier, I'm insulted.

[Keypotian]

Pround U.S. Infatrymen... those people are just destryoning moral and huring us way more then anything... your a youth group and you just dont undertand.. we fight cuz we have to and we fight for the soldiers to left and right of us so we can all come home safe.. then you do this and in front of an army establishment... To the fellow soldies god bless stay safe.. and lets bring all of your buddies back home alive... HOoah

[lkwshimmer]

what are you doing; what is wrong with you? how ridiculious. not only is this completly disrespectful to my comrades that have fallen and been wounded, but you're 100% off in your "message." every one of us, including those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, has volunteered to be a part of what is going on, so go take your crappy ass version of taps somewhere else, perhaps save the whales or something. focus on something a little more relevant to you and leave iraq to the military.

[titanman2828]

WOW To bad you are so wrong!! I lost my brother and a cousin in Iraq. I have also done 2 tours myself. I would like to personally thank you for spitting in the face of all that have fallen. My request is for you to go to another country and stop stealing my air. Thank You

[billye1981]

I am not thrilled with this video, but if your going to be convservative please fire back with something more than hippies. I dont condone using US soliders as means for getting your point across. I do believe that those lost in Iraq should still be with us. Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11. If we can do anything for vets.. lets rally for therapy, VA benefits and better conditions for our soilders. But this video wont change the face of anything.

[seditia]

Thank you for your courage, conviction, and peaceful efforts. Don't let the wingnuts scare you away from exercising your constitutional rights. If you save just one young person from enlisting in the military while they engage in this illegal and immoral war, you've succeeded.

Power to the Peaceful!

[rangerman012]

What you are doing is demoralizing the families of the dead soldiers and Marines that risk and gave the ultimate sacrifice...but you don't know anything about pledge to a friend, or the risk of life to actually know that you support life by actually giving up a part of yourself to a cause a person believes in, it's called serving mankind.

[rangerman012]

This video is ignorant, for one, what do you have invested in this war? why are you protesting, did you know that 4,000 americans died in homicide related events in 2006 alone. why don't you protest the death's of the americans that was murdered in the U.S.?

We volunteered to be part of something bigger than ourselves, that in which you will never understand. Visit Iraq get the facts, then protest.

[JohnMcCain2006]

Stupid hippie's. People like this one give the terrorism more power. I hate those guys. They never take responsibility and can only whine.

Just so angry, stupid motherf...ok I stop it right now, calm down.

Just wanna say this people are very bad for the society.

[LilCleary6]

FAT CHICK PLAYING TAPS...PRICELESS!

[InternAIM1]

Why mock a funeral?

I've been to enough military funerals in the past year so theres no real reason to have a mock one theres already to many happening right now...

[veriteez]

it's sad that innocent children die in war, but there was no intetional killing by the u.s. onto Iraqi people. HOw can u compare a dictator to someone trying to give democracy?

[veriteez]

Why don't they have a funeral for all of the children killed by Sadam and his thugs? To think I use to consider myself a democrat, but not anymore.

[riven98]

Why dont they have a funeral for all the inncocent children killed by GW Bush and his thugs?

[dougbprice]

who are the thugs? Dont ever call me and my fellow soldiers thugs! We are there by order asshole! Take your liberal bitch ass back to the the fuckin rock you crawled out from!

[hosting2nv]

They are in a better place now...

Well hey.. hell is better than what the Iraqi resistance put them through :) Die invaders.

Long live the resistance!

[Neikka]

I really wanna know who these people think they are? I know why im joining, and im sure they knew why they joined. Some random people who dont even really know the people who died stage a lame rememberance of the people that died? Cant even fucking play a song correct let alone do any justice to those who have fallen. Stop being disrespectful to them.

[velourlover]

These "random people" did know some of our soldiers that died. I find it disrespectful that the many of the same people who want to send recruits out to Iraq are those who want to cut funding for VA benefits and deny benefits to people who have lost limbs, returned with PTSD, etc. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen to you.

[gandhigonewild18]

I find it offensive that you would EVER EVER think about reading out the names of the dead soldiers...That is disrespectful in my opinion...If I were to die in a war that I signed up to fight in the last thing I would want is some anti-war nut writting my name on her car and using my name as a POLITICAL TOOL...you should be ashamed of yourselves those soldiers deserve better then to be used as a tool against a war effort they fought and died for.

[joebonk]

war is so honorable and awesome, thats why jesus liked it so much! war is way more than some angry idiots throwing drunken punches at a much larger scale, thats why wars are only started by geniuses and philosophers!

[bsforsale]

maybe we'd only get National Guard service and not even show up like Bush did, but I'd prolly make up some bullshit injury like Cheney did. heil hitler.

[PsycoScout]

It's people like them that make me wish there was a draft, so that they would either be killed in war by force or leave to a different country like Clinton did durring Vietnam. The only good hippie is a dead one. Then at least you can get rid of the stupidity.

[3025ed]

what a bunch of losers. go smoke some more dope. some people know what honor means. they joined know full well what could happen. they did there duty. you disgrace them. in china you would not exist. yes its your right to protest, but if you limp wristed people had your way we would be ruled by the russians or china by now. in ten years you will be ashamed of your selves. yeah and a retard for president. see what i mean. you people are worthless. get a job.

[October1]

i think we need real funerals for protesters, maybe we should kill like 2500 of them for starters.

[motorbag]

As a US Soldier....this pisses me off!

Its us that have to deal with this war, its us that have to deal with every lose and victory. Yet there are people who are so "bothered" by this war that have absolutely no stakes in it. Get the truth from all vets not only the ones that fit your political agenda.
