[walkertexasranger33]

@TheWarTime cool westside story

[StewedTomato]

All these fine young men taken in by George W. Bush.

[loryjean]

That era is over now, let it pass. Saying "Thank You" to those fine young men would be enough.

[jackbelias]

@StewedTomato

Note that the band paid extra to have their song removed from the video because us current "vet scum" were unworthy of their song. The Dire starights, yet another leftist trust fun kiddie band from million dollar homes who hate us "vet scum". Their copy right compliants were very selective, even the soldiers of the lord we fight were allowed to use their song.

[heartsong125]

Thank you for the kind words and prayers. I agree he is a hero and I also pray for him and his fellow soldiers daily. I am trusting God to watch over my son.

[heartsong125]

My son, Greg is there now.

[waterdogtx915]

I wanted to say how much I respect you son for what he is doing. He is a true hero. May the good Lord look over him and bring him home safely.

[tobiasohrndorf]

Hello from Germany! My American Cousin went for there for a 1 Year, he said we went there nothing but the fucking Oil

[keithanthony0169]

My Nephew is out there somewhere with British forces!

He is my late sister Debbie Banham's boy! I don't know him, never did have the privilege of watching him grow from baby, to boy, to soldier but if you should find yourself alongside Dale Banham then shake his hand for me and tell him I'm sorry!

I'm sorry that I didn't see him grow up, I regretted every moment I knew that was happening and even more so after his Mom 27 died, shake his hand and tell him I'm so very proud of him!

Uncle Keith

[TheJoannieBean]

94th Engineers back in Iraq again :( I miss you Matt!

[khuff9]

Soldiers enforce doctrine. We don't make it. And it is the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Some times best to keep ones mouth shut and let people think you stupid, then open ya mouth and remove all doubt.

[WLF18]

What is this for a song?

[loryjean]

brothers in arms - dire straits

[Marly61]

I don't understand how disciplined soldiers and officiers, if they understand the US Constitution, The US Military Code of Conduct and UN mandates and US Foreign Policy and society, how they can enter an illegal war, Iraq, and not evade deployment.

[StewedTomato]

Bush should send his daughters over there!

[wiggyman1]

Well, there VOLUNTEERS DUMBASS.

[StewedTomato]

I know their VOLUNTEERS DUMBASS it was just a figure of speech, you just didn't get it DUMBASS

[aristogeiton]

God bless your husband and all the good men preserving freedom for the coalition. We Australians are proud to be over there too

[landsker]

The german soldiers were the last ones to realise that they were an army of a madman, invading other countries. When will the american soldiers understand that they are serving a madman?

[loryjean]

it is not theirs to understand. it is theirs to serve their country. how very thoughtful of you to post this message to the mother of soldiers on armed services day.

[landsker]

Article 184` 6 U.S. military code states that any soldier may relieve an officer of his command, if he believes that officer to be incompetent. The fact is right now, there are generals discussing that option, with a view to arresting George Bush. Google news, "Generals Revolt". Thankfully some american soldiers have realised that bush is an incompetent commander.

Peace to all.

[backlash01]

go to hell go die u dumbass democratic bitch the soldiers like bush more then fucking clinton they hated clinton in the first gulf u stupid fuck!

[bobahagin]

lol!!! GOOD ONE!!!! LANDSKER UR STUPID.

[AlexandraLara]

There duty is to serve there country weather the person leading there country is mad or not. Its the call of duty. And they signed up for it. I guess you have to think before joining the army. My husband is over there himself he's proud of what he's doing because he's a good person, and actually helps the people over there.

[mikebutler1]

Thank you to everyone who has gone over there and everyone going, you are our heros and the heros of people with no hope. Don't listen to the wacky liberals who diss our troops, we respect you and appreciate your sacrifice. Thank you

[fraumitwas]

nice :-)

[killthedonkey]

As I proudly serve my country I want to say two things and two things only.One, thank you for the video and two,anyone who is against us,go to Iraq,sleep in the dirt,go without sleep,watch your friends get killed,miss your daughter learn to walk,and wonder if yesterdays sunset was the last one you will see and then ask yourself if the guys over there right now wernt doing it,would you?

[krazycanuk]

Great vid...beautiful song

[clownshoeman]

shit....i'm an Australian Air Force Cadets....im not expert on war or anything....but ive seen alot of home made vids of war and military and things like that....and this got to me more than any before

[PAMEDIC]

And what do you think theses Insurgents ( key word people not from Iraq) are going to do they want to occupy Iraq and set up the same type of gov that was in Afganistan the same kind of gov that oppresed women that wouldnt allow women to vote this is the same belief that when they took over in Somalia they drug people out of there homes and killed them for watching soccer on tv.

[raven31634]

Finally somebody who knows why were fighting keep supporting us Major SStripling USMC

[Callahan1801]

WOW there is actually a War movie on youtube that has supports i cant belive it there is normal people in this country keep fighting

1stSgt.Callahan USMC

[PAMEDIC]

I am sorry unless you have walked one step in the soilders, sailors and marines shoes you have no right or privelge to critque them all that makes anyone who hasnt is an armchair quarterback. And We are not trying to occupy a foreign country you need to restudy your terminology occupation is to take over we havent taken over no one did we take over Germany NOOOO they have there own independent Gov. Lenonon they have there own gov and Iraq has there own gov that doesnt always answer to the US

[PAMEDIC]

aand to answer your question no I joined cause i belevied in protecting my country not my govement the country the people that I love the people i dont know even the right for my fellow country men to make there own choices to go to the mall whitout having to worry about someone crashing a plane into the building, is that threat toatally gone no but it has been gretly reduced.

[chatoXvato]

well i do support troops just not the war, but troops are there now for nothing and i have to disagree with you pademic, to achieve peace thourgh arms is not the answer, unless all else fails. The days America invaded Iraq was when insurgent enlistments increased. Iraq is just the cornerstone to bush plan of being the dominant power of the world. I do have a sense of propriety for my country but not when im being un-informed which is exactly the goverment is doing to soilders.

[PAMEDIC]

and he was caught in possesion of zippy centrifuges which have one purpose and on purpose only and that is to create a nuke, we have reports from britih pilots shot down in the first war about nuclear facilites they stumple upon while evading capture. Also Syria is a very short drive from Iraq we gave him how many months to surrender and we have reliable Iraqis who tell of massive shipments to syria right before the war!!!!

[PAMEDIC]

You must either be muslim or

living in a country where you arent free cause you dont beleive in freedom and that other people should be free and you will critque men in women who will risk all for what they beleive when you yourself are to afraid to do it yourself! And if it was up to me I would have bombed every mosque in the world Islam is the biggest scourage to face the world in 1300 years.

[chatoXvato]

Pademic I appreciate your courage ,but just cause you were in the military doesnt give you the right to talk down to me. I can see theres no use in arguing. You have your agenda and I have mine. But ask yourself what did Iraq do to benifit this country? terrorism? Democracy?Liberation? You say you dont belive the media but what your telling me is the medias justification of the war.

[PAMEDIC]

If you have noticed the media doesnt justify this war everymedia outlet I see is 1. liberal as can and 2. are against the war. Also you are the one putting the military down and I quote "nothing but kids being brainwashed and acting on blind patriotism"

"because their systematically broken down" how in the world do you know have you ever even served in the military in peace time let alone fought in a war we have the best trained most intelligent military in out countries history

[chatoXvato]

when I said kid i meant the little ones. the 6,7,8 etc. year olds. Also yeah you are. Ive read numerous accounts of marines saying so themselves its nothing but a breaking camp.

[PAMEDIC]

never before in history have they been able to do that

and you are so concerned about the innocent people what about the innocent people sadam killed for any and every reason and the ones his sons killed they didnt call him the buthcher of bagdag for nothing NO you dont care about the innocent people you are the biggest hypocrite of all.

[PAMEDIC]

we arent talking about innocent iraq people we are fighting insurgents ( YOU know people who do not belong in the country who are not from that country but who want to impose there will on the iraq people)

and sont even say thats what we are doing we are giving them a chance to choose for themselves we gave them a chance to elect there goverment it may not be great gov but need the less thy have choosen it

[chatoXvato]

insurgents or gurilla fighters? resisting occupation from a foreign country is a sure sound victory. look at americas past, colonist with britian, soviets in Afghan.

[PAMEDIC]

The problem is we have a whole gen of kids and people that have been brain washed in to thinking no war is justified no matter what even if they came here on our soil and attacked us with a regular army you would still have people crying well we shouldnt fight cause it is just BLIND Patriotism. The problem is these people are affraid to fight that maybe they will actually have to pay for the freedom that they enjoy.

[PAMEDIC]

He used chemicals on his own people that was in the news all the way back in the 80's before Bush ever even came to power or thought about it. And why dont you trying telling a combat vet who has just got back from over there that he is brainwahsed and is operating on blind patriotism and see what they do to you LOL.

[PAMEDIC]

Why do you say they are dying unnecesarily, I dont beleive hunting down terrorists and killing them is unnecessarily. So the terrorists that attacked in london were justified huh? and just today the terrosists that attacked in Alegria what did Alegria do to who they arent even in this war.

[chatoXvato]

pamedic dont believe everything you see on the news, this war was waste of lives. There was no benifit from it what so ever. nothing but kids being brainwashed and acting on blind patriotism.

[PAMEDIC]

When I went I wasnt brained washed and I wasnt acting on blind patriotism, and I dont what the main stream Liberal ( communist) Media I dont even watch fox cause they are to soft. The problem is people dont see a threat or they think we can placate these muslims look what happened to spain they placated them and still got bombed. We know Iraq had WMD just cause they werent nukes yet doesnt mean they were not WMD.

[chatoXvato]

then ask me why did you join? for shits and giggles. The United States has never had a problem with brutal dictators in power. Im not here to criticise the soilders because their systematically broken down,its not their fault, Id be doing the same. But if you were there acting on patriotism what were you there for? Bush lied about it and now is lying abour Iran. The public is not that dumb to fall into it twice.

[PAMEDIC]

No Bush didnt lie if anyone lied it was the people who were giving us the info and even they didnt lie we in this discussion we already established that Iraq had WMD ( which is not limited to Nukes) He used chemicals on his own people in the 80's

[PAMEDIC]

And they are not soldiers they are terrorists!!! In order to be a soldier you have to meet a certain criteria not be a rag tag group that sneaks like a coward across the border and blows things up.

[Avalancheau]

You ahcve to be like a coward and ride in a helicoptor firing on civilians to be a soldiers. Its all semantics.

[Apache8407]

God bless all solders form all sides... Ultimately we are all doing other peoples biding, people who are to chicken shit to do it themselves...

Personally I don't give a flying fuck whose write or wrong... the fact is PEOPLE are dieing! Friends and Family, Brothers and Sisters, Fathers and Mothers and Husbands and Wife's... We fight for you all and you all spit in our faces.... Fuck you all and die slow like most of my friends have... Ignorant pricks.

[Apache8407]

I think you for got one nation mate... The UK dose not draft or have national service... We volunteer too... It's our choice too and we do it with pride. I'm a little disappointed that yet again it appears the US forgets its closest allies... No surprise then that we have lost more lads to your trigger happy army then the Iraqis... Perhaps what's needed for your volunteer army is better training and an "orientation" on who the ENEMY is and who your FRIENDS are...

[PAMEDIC]

Why it is sad that friendly fire happens unfortuantly it is part of war, no amount of training can ever elimintae mistakeks to do so would be to elimainate being human. Even in the most calm and perfect enviroment mistakes happen now you through people into chaos and expect them to be mistake free, isnt going to happen.

[Avalancheau]

Why is it sad? Because people are dying unnecessarily. wait a second.. doesnt that make the whole war sad seeing as its pointless in the first place? what pisses me off is that we dont even label our enemies as soldiers anymore, they are terrorists, insurgents, rebels... get the feck out. They are fighting for their beliefs, as you are fighting for yours.

[PAMEDIC]

Oh so its k that there beliefs are driving a car laden with explosives into a pet market and killing inocent men women and children not on accident but on purpose, willfully and wantingly targeting them.

[Avalancheau]

The american army has shot people in mosques. dont talk about morals.

[PAMEDIC]

the cowards are the muslims they cant face us in a fight the cowards highjack airplanes and fly them into buildings killing innocent people and children the cowards kill innocent children in Isreal when they brek into schools and shoot children. OH and by the way they wouldnt get killed in mosques if they wouldnt hide in them.

[mitch80]

I am a US Army vet...and no I do not want any thanks for it. I served over sea's and no I did not get any "glory" or "Honor" out of it. I am just a man... but at least I am a man! I don't know how these hippies can hold there heads up and knock on our soldiers at the same time! If you don't like the polotics thats fine but you are a mother F@$%er if you dont like our soldiers!

[thelastgreathope]

I love you all.

[Blemmye]

nice job

[qiflow88]

i talked to a few..and everyone said: one has to fight against the enemy...but who is the enemy?

if you think: a man lost his wife or son,dotter in irak or libanon made by americans,or etc.whatever granate or bomb ...what would you do?...

shit we are all fucked...in a way...

god(doesnt metter if he is a buddhist, moslem or christ) bless all of you...

[qiflow88]

what for?there was just a few "enemys".one small special force should arrange to stop a war bevor begigning.sorry but a lot of people die by american bullets wich has nothing to do with this "enemys".

in a war allways the people die wich are "zivilists"

stop wars stop producing weapons.

we all run in a global disaster.because of changing atmosphere.we are all stupid in a way.or do you forgot.we all breathing the same air.wolrdwide! we should spend the power to "heal" the planet

[jonxmartini]

I can safely say any American soldier would rather have peace but we arent going to sit around and let anyone threaten us, our familes, or the people of the United states. However i agree the world would be a better place with out war unfortunatly that doesnt seem to ever come close to happening.

[soldierswife5204]

mokkobucho- I fought in the War on Terrorism along with my brother who died over in Iraq we were both in the Army. Why don't you take a look in the mirror before you start calling other people pathetic.

[zr11991]

'GREAT JOB'.

[mokkobucho]

pathetic army nerds! too bad, innocent people get fragged by you nerds! But god bless you anyway

[loryjean]

at the age of 17, what do you know about that of which you speak? where have you been in life that qualifies you to do so? anyone can run his/her mouth. don't be a coward. put your money where your mouth is. explain yourself.

[loryjean]

maybe a big mistake, maybe not. americans have made mistakes, but have done & continue to do great things. the "pathetic army nerds" you speak of have taken a vow to stand up for YOU, to serve for YOU, to sacrifice for YOU as an american. war is ugly & a horror. there are people, good

& bad, on both sides.

[loryjean]

for every "marine shootin civilians in the street" there are thousands of honorable men and women putting their lives on the line everyday, hoping to make a difference, trying to do the right thing. they are your representatives, sent by your government, your president.

[loryjean]

do not misunderstand me. i do not support bush or the war. i have experienced firsthand the sorrow and suffering it brings. what i do support is the notion that our military---guys and girls that are your age---have offered themselves up to serve on your behalf, and they are deserving of your respect.

thank you for taking the time to answer me.

[USMC0331]

ok im just saying this cuz i was there first hand, try being in a city, let alone a countrie where everyone looks the same and you know for a fact that 3 out of 5 want you dead. you might be a little jumpy too if you were fresh outa boot and put in that situation

[SLrabur]

Those poor inocent iraqis. If you have been there like I have, you would not think they are so innocent. Tey kill eachother everyday. In the 100's.

[mokkobucho]

well thats an interesting statement...so u kinda admit they deserve to die?

[patriotbluestar]

Enjoyed the video and the song. God bless our troops!

[ALEX546]
