I love this Land that we live in because people can say whatever they want. Haveing said that Saying this hero of war is at fault for doing their job is bullshit thank you
Today i was in Los Angles and i saw prottesters with signs saying that soldiers are weak and arrogant, oh and ignorant...
It pissed me off so much i yelled out the window saying,"fuck you bitches, go to hell!!!!!!" i then got yelled at by my mom saying that a 14 yea old should not say this. later she aske why i did that and i said that she wouldnt understand. and i told her any wayand she just laughed and told me to get a girlfriend, i said i have one, and her name is america,
@TehFunnehMann you can view it like that bu i see it as something else i see it as a song that shows the world that no one is perfect not even heroes of war and that some hide the things that they did and hiding that will eat them alive and this song is about a man who went out to war wanting to serve the flag he loves and does unspeakable things and he admits to them and never wants to live any of those moments ever again basically what im saying is that war isnt all easy and fun but dark and
@TehFunnehMann yeah so in a sense thats what this song is with a sad twist...iots a soldier admitting hes done wrong and he takes home the white flag to show he wants to surrender his wrongdoings and to never do them again
@TehFunnehMann i know...he took the flag afterwards and he grows to love it because it reminds him to never do those things again and to constantly ask for forgiveness since he isnt a "hero of war" but a ordinary man with flaws
If there was ever a war, where our national security was ever TRUELY endangered I would be the first to register to defend our beautiful nation. In till then I refuse to support these senseless killings, where America, or NATO for that matter has no business in intruding.
@jman1597 we probably wouldnt nuke them but we would have support. remember north and south korea are right next to each other. if we nuke N.K it would also hit S.K.
Hippie bullshit. America is in real trouble if people can't handle wars like Iraq and Afghanistan. What's going to happen if we ever have to fight North Korea where we'll probably lose hundreds of troops a day?
@Polkovic I agree, war as always been this way, the only thing new is that we have coverage of the war now. The media was as you know Im sure just getting started during Vietnam, and now we have full media. People see war which is always horrifying because its war and freak out. Our troops signed up for a reason. They should have known what they were getting into before hand. Now for the soldiers in gitmo I will say thats horrible. I saw no ethical torture there only tactics to dehumanize.
People of the USA: Please, recognise the efforts of countries like Germany, Australia and the UK. Many countries have heroes fighting al over the world and we all need to support all of them.
i wore the flag of my country on my shoulder and did what i had to do to keep it safe for my family and any other citizen. i'm proud that i served and proud of doing what i had to do. people cry because were "torture" to find out information that would most likely save lives. they capture us then torture us then they behead us leaving us in a ditch. if you want peace prepare for war. if you dont have what it takes to fight a war then thats fine not everyone does ...
our government has sent our men and women to Iraq and forced them to kill, torture, and do horrible things that they will never forget, and they are volunteers but how many actually know what it feels like to kill another man you never met, who never hated you, who you never hated, and who has never hurt you personally, that my friends is the true tragedy of war, is the fact that we use Americas best to do the worlds worst, its a horrible reality one i hope i never have to experience.
@SingularNinjular It may be anti-war but it does not discount the strife our brothers and sisters have gone through in the hell of war. The things they have done in the heat of battle that are hard for them to deal with. Especially when they come home and are called heros. Which they are...
@776halo You say that, but he did the right thing in participating in the Iraq and Afghanistan, and it was the American public (of which I'm assuming you are part of) that kept him in for two terms despite bitching constantly about him.
nice job on the picture slideshow. as a vet of this and other conflicts, thank you. i don't care about the message behind the song. it doesn't matter what i think. i just want to thank you for your posting.
There is always civilians killed in a war. it's inevitable. When you place young men into a war zone, or any age for that matter, they develop a 'war mentality'. They are scared to death they'll be shot, so they shoot anything that is perceived as a threat of any sort.
We need to get rid of these laws that are making the lives of the prisoners we capture so damn easy. Like the one where they are tried, that's bullshit! They shot at us so they should be interrogated and executed fast and efficiently. The whole world is laughing at how weak of a country we have become! Stop the nice war! enough ROE! its getting soldiers killed! war is a bitch and people need to realize that!
My boyfriend is a US Marine. He is leaving in September and I am very scared for him, but I am also very proud. It takes a lot to do what they do. Luckily, I still have a few months with him. Thank you to everyone who is serving.
war is useless and what a waste we can do better just takes more to believe i know that sounds so stupid but i dont want my friends goin there and dye not right time for people just forget and forgive
@sniperscope1997 I forgot what his name was. But he was a soldier in Iraq. They discovered a homemade explosive device. And he tried to disarm it and ended up burning off much of his face in the explosion. GOD bless him...
@EnclaveCommander2277 There were none found. Probably caught in an explosion that burned him horribly. Another poor soul to remind us of the horror of war that so many experiance, but few Americans ever know. God bless him.
A soldier was killed in duty, and was brought to the golden gates of Heaven. There, he faced God, and said, "Lord, I know I wasn't a spiritual man. I did some things I aint proud of, and some more that you aint proud of, and I won't be mad if you don't let me in." God looked down at the soldier, and then turned to the angel next to him, "Open these gates, and find him a spot with us" The angel was shocked, and said, but why? God turns to the soldier and says "This man just came from hell
@bobenshluk USAF! I plan on doing 4 years as an aerial gunner (maybe less) then try my way into Pararescue. In about a week or 2 I'm going to be sworn into the Air Force to fight for the people of my country even the ones who don't believe in war and bash soldiers. Not for our government officials who don't respect us enough to give us a definite raise next year. I'd like to see how they'd feel if they had a pay freeze next year too...
Im in the military, and there are times that i get yelled at and called a babie killer and a bunch of other shit, but i let it go, cause i know that they won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, fighting and laughing and going through the same shit you do its about strangers becoming more than just friends but become family. to me the worste kind of person is thoughs who dont respect thoughs who have and still put their lives on the line every day
i am a USMC marine and i started off with around 19 friends only 6 remain its hard sometimes u will think why did we do this i was hostage with 3 friends my friend got shot so then they cut off my 2 fingers i got up punched the guard got shot in the arm and turned around and my other friend gets shot in the face then the airforce came i prayed thank you god and they saved 47 people the bodycount of 200 it was hard i have about 7 medals i'm now retired of 2008 if u wanna be a marine get balls
@spartonv67 that must be hard i mean i always wanted to be a marin sincee that im 14 and all but for all the people that have been taken hostage and k.i.a makes me think that im greatfull and i woudlnt want to have my family deal with my death or never coming back again but all i wanted to say was u where lucky to live instead of die but im sorry for your friends that had to die
@spartonv67 im extremely srry for what u had to go through. thanks for my freedom. I have a brother in SF and i hope to join after college. thanks again.
When I got to war I wanna be damned when I get home,other then be thanked for taking them away from my family...Every now and then I ask my dad "What wouldve happen if you didnt ever come home" and his answer would be "..." cuase he doesnt know what wouldve happened...I am sick of people saying that america is crap we are a nation together we mourn together,we share together, and we live together...
only american flags... you seem to make out that no other countries joined in your shameful war, your patriotism makes me feel sick... all you did was take oil fields, and ship innocent people to 'camp x-ray' for some 'watersports'
America lost in Iraq now everything we did there for any kind of good is gone, people are getting killed over there for nothing and it is not our job to care anymore, why? is it because its not our brothers or family dying, getting raped in the street, the government is sick for sending us there and even more so for pulling us out and leaving the people to die, and now they call Obama a socialist? that is what we need but will never get, i respect the fighting men but not the men they fight for.
@bingo45373 whats with the retarded metaphor? everyone in all other countries would say they would die for their country, but the flag's just fabric, which leaves us with a metaphor: what does the flag symbolise?
as an airman i wont say that i have it as hard as the marines or army with deployments but im damn sure that we have all sacrificed alot to be the ones to stand up for our freedom and if you want to complain or point out the bad a few in the soldiers out there then your an idiot and you should get the hell out of our country because you obviously dont mean shit to anyone here the sad part about it is your just an ignorant person to what we fight for not the politicians or our leaders but for you
i guess all the idiots here are just mad cause they're to wussy to join the armed forces and were not, they dont deserve freedom, they deserve communism
If you are reading this and you haved,are,or are planning to serve in the armed forces, thank you for all you do and may God bless you, i am planning to be in the U.S Navy one day... best friggin country on earth
the innocent lives lost because of political agenda is enough to make me unable to see enough to type this.......don't blame the troops.....blame yourself....for siting around and doing nothing but watch youtube videos and not helping to change our country......this is our fault......yours and mine....god bless the people brave enough to suffer through this horrible war, on both sides.....and god forgive us for what we all have done.....humans can be such beautiful creatures.....i hope we evolve
With my involvement in the US Army and all my friends in each branch, there are two things we will say to anyone who tells us how much we are hated. Those two things are "You can be anti-war, but don't be anti-soldier" and "If you are ganna do nothing but bad mouth us, then give me your freedoms back." All veterans, present, future, or past, Great job all, and stay safe.
US Army, protecting your ass whether you like it or not!
You motherfuckers have the balls to sit here and talk shit to 1 another about WAR. Glad you have the Freedom to sit by your computer and pretend you know shit about it b-cuz you read a book, watched CNN or went to college (so now you know everything) if you think you know, You know SHIT! SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, EVERYTHING YOU KNOW-HOP ON A PLANE-AND STAND IN FRONT OF ME SO I CAN COME BACK TO THE COUNTRY I LOVE..AMERICA. O YEAH AND MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND EVERYTHING ELSE I FIGHT FOR.
people who dont support what our troops do for us evry day dont deserve there freedom, our troops defend our freedom and no matter what you should respect that, in the near future i wish to be a part of the NAVY SEALs thats my dream so if i can make it plz give us support and not reasons that what were doin is wrong
@BrandonHskater Stick with it man. The SEAL training is brutal. If your up to try Force Recon in the Marines. You'll need a high ASVAB score, a 300 or damn near close it and the most important, support from family and friends.
i mean, im against war too, but can you guys show a little freaking respesct? its your country (at least we hope so) you need to show at least a little respect, because, unless you watch too many cartoons about how everythings just nice and dandy in a war zone, people do friggin die so we can be a free nation, but if you still decide to just be disrespectful and crap, you shouldnt have even watched he video
I sound like an idiot? Wow, coming from a guy who trusts Bush. And no, Bush could have done whatever the fuck he wanted, it's called greed and capitalism.
@XLR8R018 Yea totally Bush is going to pay some people to take over a plane and fly it into a building causing debt and fucking up trade. Your real bright.
@nickisking11 Yes he would, because there's hundreds of millions of dollars in oil. The planes were controlled remotely at a secret location. The Twin Towers were built to withstand a plane crash, it would take demolition charges and proper placing, which means background knowledge is essential. I don't think the Iraqi people had access to the blueprint and/or talked to the architect.
for all you people who are against the war or against soldiers you should not be allowed to talk, if it wasnt for our soldiers you wouldnt have the right to say any of this shit so shut the fuck up and be thankful that you have soldiers who fight for you and your rights to talk shit about them, you should be thankful they are fighting because if they werent then youd see a shit load more of attacks on our country
I thought he was talking about our US soldiers being beaten and pissed on and when he says he joined I thought it happened to him but, I realize it was our soldiers beating on the terrorists.
Regardless of your veiws on the war, respect those who fight, because even though they might be in afghan they'd still come home and save your ass or die trying. My whole familys been in the military and I'm going next. I would never harm any innocents. I have my Honor and when I make it back from boot and i serve my duty, you can call me what you want, you can say all you want, but I would still jump through fire to save you regardless. Thats what a true man would do, not bicker about nonsense
@gonjaheals0728 i respect your family and you more than anyone else. I am too heading into the military in a year, and i have family members right now across the sea, and you have described them well. send thanks to your family and yourself.
@gonjaheals0728 Thank you for putting it so perfectly. I am a college student and hope to become an Officer for the USMC. Its the men like you that make me want to serve. Thank you and all the others who sacrifice.
@gonjaheals0728 thank you for you and your families service. my whole family has been in the military and i hope to go to west point and serve and follow in my families footsteps. but i am only 13 so it will be awhile so i thank you for allowing me to have dreams because you fight for me and every single american. thank you.
@ccg1223 iraq war ended like last month and some afgha ppl r really nice wne u come to think about it its not the ppl that r insane its the government since their gov. r very very VERY strict about islam and take it too far example 9/11 attack from osama bin laden and his followers they come from afghanistan but r in a dif group the talibans
Oh God... don't go to nick's profile.... Anyway, I do agree with his comment. But the three people who gave it a thumbs up probably only did that because he said he was a marine.
part of me thinks why are we even over there its been what almost 10 years other part of me thinks they attacked us and wont allow peace so i look at this was a man goes to prison he gets out he commits the crime again we have to put down the rabid dogs so they dont bite more people but that dosnt excuse the american soldiers who throw puppies over cliffs and rape there own soldiers not to mention yesterday people that we hired to protect one of our bases fired at and killed a marine so yeah
A great song at first but its pissed me off when it started twisting it to make marines look like evil monsters wanting to kill innocent Iraqi civilians. How is is some of you dumb asses don't understand that, that is not what actually happens?
@amymcms The point of the song, though, is that even when good, patriotic soldiers -feel- like evil monsters, they remain human, capable of grief, capable of regret, capable of mistakes, and requiring forgiveness.
No one in their right mind believes our soldiers -wanted- to kill innocent Iraqis... but there are innocent iraqis dead by american hands anyway. How are our men and women in uniform supposed to deal with that? Walk it off, or fight through it until they can forgive themselves?
This song us stupid. No one in my Battalion has EVER shot a innocent people. People dont understand. We only fire at those with guns, or bombs VISIBLE. We don't go gungho on people and beat them. The ones who do get tortured know VILE information. Think about it do you honestly think the terrorist getting tortured is wrong? They killed thousands on 9/11 and also screwed up our economy. Shit if your reading this comment right now then you have 2 people to thank God and and our Soldiers
@nickisking11 I respect your opinion and all but what about us? The Americans put innocent people into slavery and we've done much more worse thing to them then the terrorists did to us in 9/11. We took away the land of the Native Americans and Mexicans and now we are not allowing Mexicans to try and get a better life. We put the Japanese into camps and they forgave the Americans. The people put in slavery forgave us too but we cant even forget about 9/11 after 9 years?
@animemangavideogames Respect yours to, but correction Southerns put people in slavery and then we fought for there freedom, Japenese we put them into camps during the war for American saftey they messed up Pearl Harbor, Mexicans come over to America illegaly and half of them start gangs and violence, they have a chance to become citizens. Pushing Native Americans out was the English colonists. It's not only us mad about 9/11, it's the whole world they destroyed the WORLD Trade Centers
@nickisking11 And if everyone we had over there were up to the standards held in your Battalion, we wouldn't have the news stories that inspired this song.
First and foremost, this is a song about being the one people don't understand.
Separate from that issue, there's a reason professionals in the CIA don't use torture to get information, vile, vital or otherwise. Torture doesn't work, it degrades the interrogator and prompts deceptions from the subject that could get troops killed.
You missed the point of this song. It's not to say that every soldier does these things, but that sometimes accidents happen. And the people you (and by you I mean the military which i suppose you support) torture where NOT responsible for terrorism. God is a lie and the soldiers who see the horrors of war and still supports it are just horrible.
I don't see how and that is not a very compelling argument. Furthermore to support something 100% is just stupid, you should question everything that you belive in.

A soldier was killed in duty, and was brought to the golden gates of Heaven. There, he faced God, and said, "Lord, I know I wasn't a spiritual man. I did some things I aint proud of, and some more that you aint proud of, and I won't be mad if you don't let me in." God looked down at the soldier, and then turned to the angel next to him, "Open these gates, and find him a spot with us" The angel was shocked, and said, but why? God turns to the soldier and says "This man just came from hell

Not for our government officials who don't respect us enough to give us a definite raise next year. I'd like to see how they'd feel if they had a pay freeze next year too...

America lost in Iraq now everything we did there for any kind of good is gone, people are getting killed over there for nothing and it is not our job to care anymore, why? is it because its not our brothers or family dying, getting raped in the street, the government is sick for sending us there and even more so for pulling us out and leaving the people to die, and now they call Obama a socialist? that is what we need but will never get, i respect the fighting men but not the men they fight for.

With my involvement in the US Army and all my friends in each branch, there are two things we will say to anyone who tells us how much we are hated. Those two things are "You can be anti-war, but don't be anti-soldier" and "If you are ganna do nothing but bad mouth us, then give me your freedoms back." All veterans, present, future, or past, Great job all, and stay safe.

nickisking11 1 year ago
@nickisking11 Yes he would, because there's hundreds of millions of dollars in oil. The planes were controlled remotely at a secret location. The Twin Towers were built to withstand a plane crash, it would take demolition charges and proper placing, which means background knowledge is essential. I don't think the Iraqi people had access to the blueprint and/or talked to the architect.

@amymcms The point of the song, though, is that even when good, patriotic soldiers -feel- like evil monsters, they remain human, capable of grief, capable of regret, capable of mistakes, and requiring forgiveness.
No one in their right mind believes our soldiers -wanted- to kill innocent Iraqis... but there are innocent iraqis dead by american hands anyway. How are our men and women in uniform supposed to deal with that? Walk it off, or fight through it until they can forgive themselves?

@nickisking11 And if everyone we had over there were up to the standards held in your Battalion, we wouldn't have the news stories that inspired this song.
First and foremost, this is a song about being the one people don't understand.
Separate from that issue, there's a reason professionals in the CIA don't use torture to get information, vile, vital or otherwise. Torture doesn't work, it degrades the interrogator and prompts deceptions from the subject that could get troops killed.

You missed the point of this song. It's not to say that every soldier does these things, but that sometimes accidents happen. And the people you (and by you I mean the military which i suppose you support) torture where NOT responsible for terrorism. God is a lie and the soldiers who see the horrors of war and still supports it are just horrible.
