[yourpersonalspammer]

[taylorferry7]

We all got boners whenever A-10s did a motto pass

[mycole69]

BCGs only during basic

[Mojo1982]

Are these soldiers wearing multicam camourflage? Or it the standard digital ACU cammo?

[dremkwil]

Why is the soldier at 1:30 wearing regular glasses? I thought they had to wear the birth control glasses.

[fadinggray17]

@dremkwil thats what i was thinking. The whole reason i didnt join is because i wanted to be a sniper. Then i found out i could wait for eye surgery (it would be years on a waiting list) but they said i could wear glasses and they showed me the BC glasses lol.

[Hooah740]

They're supposed to, but these guys in korengal are pretty far away from high ranking officers that give a shit about what they wear.

[Aracuru]

Such a stupid war.

[BurroBurrito1]

@Aracuru you think helping a country rid its people of terrorists and extremists that would execute people if they had a fucking radio stupid?

[Aracuru]

@BurroBurrito1 Do you honestly believe the US military is "helping" Afghanistan? You must be joking. This war has absolutely nothing to do with "helping" anyone except to benefit the people who send the little troops to kill and be killed. This war is a scam and the well meaning, but stupid, troops are just faceless pawns.

The troops are not defending America or "helping" anyone. It's too bad they are so blind they can't see the truth of their manipulation.

[BurroBurrito1]

@Aracuru ok so your in favor of letting a terrorist organization run free. kill people cause the wont cover their faces, or be exposed to culture other then their own. too keep a country in the dark ages to prevent western influence? thats truly sad.

[Aracuru]

@BurroBurrito1 If you and some other Americans want to go on some crusade to "Free" the people of afghanistan ON YOU OWN TIME AND WITH YOUR OWN MONEY, fine. But if you still think that America's military should be nation-building, when that is not their job, you need to rethink things more thoroughly.

America will lose the war in Afghanistan and the people there will only hate us more. They are, in their eyes, DEFENDING their lands. The people we are fighting never attacked America.

[BurroBurrito1]

@Aracuru i think your thinking about iraq.... we arnt fighting the afgan army or government we are fighting a insurgent force that yes proabably has afgan fighters but is also comprised of foreign fighters from other Islamic countries, so they arnt fighting for their land. i think your a terrorist sympathizer, and you like watching innocent people from around the world get attacked for no reason.

[Aracuru]

@BurroBurrito1 Nah you are just ignorant about how these so-called 'insurgents' think. From their perspective we are the infidel, we are, and we are invading "muslim lands", we are. Muslims see any land that is mostly populated by muslims as being "their land" and they are 'defending' that land.

I've thoroughly studied Arab & Muslim history and philosophies, so I can speak with authority about their motives. While I don't really like them - we have invaded and are clearly not welcome.

[logic8368]
