  • @idrz1 ewwwie don't fuck the haters mom!!! Then you got day nasty fish smell on your dick!!!!

  • at the end there,was I the only one who felt ackward?

  • Here is a simple phrase for the people who hate American soldiers if you can't stand behind them then go stand in front of them last person who downgraded a soldier in front of me has no more teeth and leg broken in 5 places.

  • @Stabcommies Bet he was a lot smaller than you, or your mates gave you a hand. Just love you paper hard men.

  • Yea another dumb shit head bit the dust.

  • @duncan7599 to bad your to much of a pussy to say that to a troops face little bitch im saying what you said and pissing on your grave while fucking your mom when its your funeral

  • It's a song. He wanted it, it's no one else's business even. Rest in Paradise.

  • Great choice by him.

    Also uploader seems like a slimeball. I respect your right of freedom of speech but there's a difference stating your opinion and doing so while disrespecting a fallen soldier for your country.

    That's pathetic.

  • If that Marines last wish was to have "Another One Bites the Dust" played at his funeral then by god it should be granted.

  • god bless your sir, and your family. thank you for everything we take for granted. GOD BLESS AMERICA

  • Uploaded by Michael Moore's youtube? I figured so, based on the remark posted in the description... Mike, sounds to me like you are GLAD to hear another soldier has sacrificed their life. Here is a brave MAN of HONOR, leaving behind so much. sacrificing EVERYTHING so you can have the freedom to spread your anti-American garbage. I think we need to send you over to Iraq or the Afghan mountains and see how long you last. You'd be BEGGING a Marine like Jon to protect you. Don't like America? LEAVE

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry but Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" is not a happy song to play at a funeral.

  • @BecuzISaidSoGoddamit Who said you have to be sad at a funeral all the time?! Hell, he wanted that played at his funeral so everyone can remember the good times and remember the type of person he was. 

  • u r 1 crazy mother fucker making fun of a fallen hero u make true americans sick

  • THIS IS STUPID!!! Why the heck would anyone play that song at a funeral?? I feel for the family who lost him but the song makes me want to scream at someone.

  • The few

    The proud

    The most witty fuckers u will ever meet

    RIP Marine

  • Hahah what a dick! I would laugh but I'd be like "Fuck you Jonathan, for making me laugh at your funeral..."

  • Love how soldiers still have the great sense of humor, after everything they witness .I've heard of soldiers making light hearted jokes when one dies...if it was one of their friends...my boyfriend (who is in afghanistan) was owed some money by one of his fellow troops. A few weeks later, before paying up, that troop was killed....and the guys in the same army base as he and my boyfriend were making a light hearted joke, saying that he would have done anything to get out of paying.

  • Well you know what? At least it's an upbeat song...lol..lol. God Bless His Soul.

  • I don't know if I will see this man later on, if I do I'll tell him I cried with a smile. Some of yall don't get it, make peace with your Maker, give Him the rest of your life. The kid's got a great sense of this world. It bothers me to see these comments.

    Our lives are not about some big conspiracy, it is about the man to your side, your family, neighbor. He bit the dust, we all die, some of us will do it twice. Yall thumb this up.

  • Military black humour at it's finest.

  • ROFL... makes me think I need to figure out something better than a garbage can. The gentleman was neat in his request. Long haired hippy, still good humor in departing us. Bless yall. Thanks Mr Flint.

  • I hope all is well for his family and may he RIP. But man, what a ballsy MAN(not boy) he was to play that song. I did lol- I don't know if it's wrong or intentional and I mean no harm. But I chuckled. The man must have had one hell of a great sense of humor!

    God Bless.

  • he loved what he did, i'm sure he got a good chuckle when he was looking down from heaven seeing his family and friends all sit uncomforatably as the song was played. bravo

  • Sad these kids join military to have a job but unfortunately US MILITARY makes up a HUGE HUGE HUGE INDUSTRY all the bases ,Equipment, everything from Computers to Aricraft carriers to Jet planes to the DEWALT selling tools to freakin HOME DEPOT and probably LOWES shipping plywood USA has made one GIANT INDUSTRY from WAR and MILITARY...Kids join even Academy as LACK of any REAL JOBS IN USA you know I say truth!

  • @deltaalphaone1 Why would you post this here? Grow up get a job. Quit your bitching, we do what we do for reasons. Are you even loyal to your country? Do you have a country that you love? Are you some progressive fascist?

    Or are you pissed at the rest of the world because you contribute nothing to others?

  • @XGCScrappy NO! NO! I must say I am not--and I did serve in fact carried MK14 torpedoes Tactical Nuke in 1980s and told that Russians ie Soviets were so Evil and wanted World domination....What Bullshit! What Bullshit! Now I see who is Evil ---any country that murders it's own on 9/11 with Remote planes and missles you had better Wake the Fuck up---Millionaires come to me for advise and I tell em to dump that Gold and Silver Learn Survival---I am surviving quite well..... no thanks to this NWO!

  • @deltaalphaone1 You don't carry a mike 14 torpedo. Slow down and catch your breath. This endeavor requires deliberate action.

  • @XGCScrappy sent you my reply---No it's un-necessary to protest at anybody's funeral these people should be at all CFR headquarters and US Treasury/ protesting the INDUSTRY that locks men up and now many women to make a big business with money and used as pure control.and destroyed this economy..the REAL demons who run this world cannot hide from me.

  • @deltaalphaone1 Okay dip, I hate that it comes to this. You are a liar. I hate that it's come into the commentary. Especially in this type of forum. You should've handled this personally with me so people wouldn't see how you are. PM the person, don't address a remark in open forum that you vehemently disagree with you won't win the popular vote, if you're wrong. Been to SERE multiple times, so what. You can't fight demons. We wrestle with powers and principalities.You can't by yourself.

  • @XGCScrappy Dip hm you didn't know I have another site did you smart guy one with over 8000 hits & you know why?- cause like i told you I weld and professionally that other site is 100% dedicated to showing how 9/11 was done -who runs this show, and it's not Congress but Big Military Complex and third I built and worked on those big airliners for years yes me the dip hmm guess you loaded tons of fuel on 757 and 767s huh? Be surprised how much I know?

  • @deltaalphaone1 you are a serious nut job!

  • @sabregunner Go back to your HOLE---- TROLL ahhhhh!

  • @deltaalphaone1 wow, You def. are off your meds arnt you? any time you wish to be logical and SANE let me know. Until then I hope your UN micro chip keeps you in line.

  • @deltaalphaone1, The MK 14 Torpedo, was an Anti Ship weapon fired from a Submarine, and it was not a Tactical Nuke. It was also just a little on the heavy side, like 3,280 lbs! Oh one other thing, they were scrapped in 75 last one was scrapped in 1980. Hate to burst your bubble (not really, I loved doing it!) Just saying!

  • @deltaalphaone1 I remember it being a MOD torpedeo with 10 kt tactical nuke --please enlighten me which one has the NUKE as warhead?

  • @deltaalphaone1 Does it really matter? You just changed your story to another bullshit one. Your not making any kind of sence! One: why would you think that the Navy would put a 10 Kt War head on a ship to ship weapon, that would be like useing a bulldozer to swat a fly (Not an effective use of weaponry!) And you, could not ever in your wildest dreams pick up a torpedo with out a machine to do it. PS. The MOD's are'nt Nukes!

  • @TheClanMacGregor You have never ever been ion the Navy have you not BS for christ sakes there is a FUCKING TORPEDO that was tipped with and atomic weapon low yield 1 to 5 kts ok so check and see I am positive reason fo rthis was in case sub went really deep or had such good counter measures..you do not know shit...LEARN UP !

  • @deltaalphaone1 Btw, yesterday you said the torpedo was a 10 kt weapon, did it miraculusly change to a 1-5 kt weapon over night, no I think your a little touched in the head. Anyways, agueing with a liar pointless! So I'll close with this, lieing to someone about the military whos entire family was and is military (myself inclueded,) will get you caught! Lots of Navy in my family, my dad and I were Army though!

  • @deltaalphaone1 FUCK YOU scammer KID>> I know that is your complete ignorant remark. Yeah had and RE-1 Honorable discharge as E-5 PO 2nd class.

  • @deltaalphaone1 Scammer? I'm not the one that said I carried a 3,280 lb ship to ship weapon. I carried an M-4 Rifle. Its a little bit ligter than a 3,280 lb torpedo don't ya think, and it just a tad more believable. Oh yes, OIF V-VI Infantry Vet here, Med discharged. You have not done close to what I've done. You might have been in the Navy but, I've never heard of RE-1, DD 214s are the same forms service to service. J statice is able to re-enlist. 1st ID 4th BCT 1-28 Infantry BLACKLIONS!!!

  • @TheClanMacGregor M-4 good god what did you serve in KOREA?? no they had no Modified Torpedoes then ha ha ha Jesus and I thought I served Eons ago...LOL yes I served only 4 years and of course made rank fast it's the Navy stationed on an Aircraft Carrier SAR--Search and Rescue and dipping sonar ..NO I never ever carried the Atomic weapon but could if commanded to ..yeah my DD-214 Honorable and I would never ever be in the Navy again it sucked! I would rather join a Real service like Marines .

  • @deltaalphaone1 Um, the M-4 is newer than the M-16. And no OIF (Iraq.) You might be thinking of the M-1 or the M-14 Rifles, they were used in Korea, the M-14 was more Vietnam though. the M-1 Garand is still a good rilfe!

  • @TheClanMacGregor M-4 or CAR 4 still read anothe man Marine lost his life his wife is pissed...family is too...who should they blame the Government ie Washington DC the military same difference or the rag heads planting IEDs? Yes yes M4 ok good for CQB i'd rahter have full auto G3.

  • @deltaalphaone1 They should Blame Politicians, The people in the Military don't just up and go, we were told to go by civilians! And M-4 Carbines are Multi-Purpose weapons, ranged or CQB as the Infantry is a Multi- Functional force.

  • @TheClanMacGregor Told by civilians??? hmmm when was the CONGRESS ,SENATE and just about every other council member who give orders directly from Heads of military ie Secretary of Defense civilians ..????? Try no jobs in USA other than shit Wal-Mart or some shitty Customer service shit job ....No construction ,No Manufacturing what so ever...hmmm gee young Johnie joins Military cause it looks soooo exciting with those pics of SEALS and RANGERS fighting The super soldiers of IRAQ s HUH??ALL BS

  • @deltaalphaone1 Yes, The Sec Def, and all those suites are Appointed positions by a Civilian, The President is a civilian, He takes oath of Office, not the Oath of Inlistment! And let me tell you something about whos over there at Alqiada's purse, former soviet (Chetchnians and the like) soldiers! I'd like to see you go over there and fight. The Only BS on here is you! Arm chair QB is the only thing your good at, and your not even good at that!

But, now If I can make it out there for the ripe corn dance, you just green lighted what ever I need to do to win! By the way, I'm from the innercity, usually Gangs frown on a whole lot of publicity so, I really don't think your in one!

  • @TheClanMacGregor You have never ever been in The Navy have you???? not BS for christ sakes there is a FUCKING TORPEDO that was tipped with an atomic weapon low yield 1 to 5 kts ok? so check and see I am positive reason for this was in case sub went really deep or had such good counter measures..you do not know shit...LEARN UP ! Hell even depth charges had some atomic low low yields back in 1960s for cold war.

  • @deltaalphaone1 I know that the two weapon systems you named, Mark 14 and MOD, are not and never have been tipped with Nuke War heads. And In the 60s we did not have the nano tech to to build war heads small enough to tip torpedos with! How do I know that? My brother (a Ret Navy Chief) Laughed at you! He worked Sub tenders for about five years of his twenty years. My mother worked Archives for Microsoft, The first CPU language builders they were, it was for the first PC (Altaire) 

  • true american.

    

  • He requested the song be played, utter brilliance!!! Good on you m8, and your sense of humor. Two thumbs up!! More proof that the cream of humanity is sacrificed on the alter of bastards. Damnation to all the bastards!!

  • im not a hater and I feel for his family. However I see soldiers and common people often mentioning "protecting our freedom". What freedom are you guys actually protecting? If every soldier would now leave Iraq, i doubt any American would lose their freedom. Fighting Taliban is another thing. Taliban is not in one or two places, its an issue of a region. However soldiers are stationed in few specific places fighting same battles every day with no progress.

  • @eleminatus The fighting is over in Iraq, asshole. You're a disgusting creature.

  • @0311StormTroopin an ad hominem attack, great. Its over? Then official fighting is, but battles commence every day. Soldiers still patrolling the streets, no native government and still death all around. I am disgusting why? Because i ask questions about Iraq? About reasons of invasion? etc. I feel sorry for the dead soldiers and their families. However none has still answered what kind of freedom US is protecting in Iraq.

  • @eleminatus There's been 11 U.S. servicemembers killed since the new year. Also, we invaded a nation that was under control of an evil dictator, removed him from power, wiped out the vast majority of Al Quaeda, helped set up a democratic government there where they hold elections on their own now. Damn... we are dumb... Also, Al Quaeda was responsible for 9/11. Osama Bin Laden is the leader. Hence the reason we started a war on terror, went to Iraq and Afgahnistan to kill 2 birds with one stone.

  • @0311StormTroopin and you killed neither bird. Took care of the dictator, great, but what about people. There is no democratic government there, there wont be for at least a decade. Not that easy to do it in a country that is not too far from 10th century social structure. And how can you say you wiped out vast majority of Al Qaeda, if Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and number of other countries still harbor them. Besides, why dont you let Iraqis control the oil?

  • @eleminatus They have an elected president in power, that's called a democracy. Theirs just hasn't matured yet. Actually, those countries harbor all forms of radical Islamic extremism, primarily the Taliban though. And, I'd say we have been extremely successful at defeating Al Quaeda. They only exist on the sub-fringes of society now, thanks to our military.

  • @0311StormTroopin listen, I appreciate what soldiers do if the cause is just. But i dont see this cause being about saving people alone.

  • @eleminatus So you're trying to say all that we're after over there is oil? Where is it then? Last time I checked gas is $3.69 here. Plus, we have our own oil reserves in the Arctic that we haven't touched in almost two decades and we have oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Why would we waste money to fight a war for oil that would only last our nation 10 years or so, at most? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You're entitled to your own beliefs and opinions though, but I'll state the facts.

  • @0311StormTroopin you would waste money and lives because Iraq has 4th largest oil reserves in the world. But oil isnt even my point. There is not a country in the world that would invade another country just to establish democracy. Some of the largest US companies have government contracts to "improve" the infrastructure in Iraq, sell weapons and vehicles, set oil refineries etc. Do you honestly believe that US simply wants to help Iraq and not gain anything out of it?

  • Im awesome is my funeral song.

  • You know what really pisses me off is all these dumb videos on youtube that have over like 30 million views get all the attention but videos like these should have the most! because these are the soldiers protecting our freedom! Thanks for all you guys do! God Bless!- From a fellow marine

  • man, this kid is a real american hero.

    even after he is gone, he doesnt want people to be that sad over him.

  • Fuck this retard

  • Jonathan, thank you, Sir, for your service. You are a Great Hero to all who cherish light and not dark, freedom and not bondage, life and not death. You rule.

  • when i enllist in the Corps and if i die i want the song "Until the Day i Die" by story of the year

  • "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. "

    George S. Patton

  • When my mate Jake Lazenby was killed in Ulster, his request was played at his funeral, " Alive and Kicking " by Simple Minds.

    I saw lots of ruffy tuffy Bootnecks sobbing like kids. Something that I shall always sremember !

  • RIP man. to every soldier out there serving out country i love you all and thank you so much!

  • RIP I love you ! I am so sorry !

  • fucking Eh, why the hell are those kids still in Afgahn?

    come back safe. Hoorah.

  • Sorry for my fucked up spelling I'm using my iPod.

  • @Mystrymeat

    Fuck off kid. This guy is soldier is an inspiration to all Marines and civilians. Don't you fucking dare come onto this video again and say stupid shit like that. He fought for your country (I live in Canada). I think you should be thanking him for keeping America safe from terrorist attacks.

  • if that marine didnt request that song i would be furious....semper fi soldier the corps misses one of its best

  • WTF THATS A MEAN SONG FOR A FUNERAL!

  • @JakeEmerica Hey, man, last wishes an' all. My Dad is being cremated and wants the Progigy's 'Firestarter'.

  • Oorah Devil Dog.

  • semper fi. RIP

  • I love you and will miss you always Jon. You were a better friend than I could have ever asked for. "Semper Fi"

  • so sad ,,brings me to tears.

  • Onore ai Caduti !

  • dodo, its people like you who weaken america. shameful

  • OORAH DEVIL DOG!

  • This is so sad, but it is also unbearably hilarious.

  • @asdf331331 i know..i smiled while cried..

  • the since of humor we grunts have is ridiculous...Ooh-rah Lcpl Stroud

  • @USMC1stpltBco I wonder what the Airmen have for humor... (I would've joined if it weren't for some med. issues...)

  • I wonder whether his hearse's license plate read "A1BTD." Someone like Stroud wouldn't have minded that either.

  • @TheKungfuzi When do you think you'll die? And if you're in my area, I'd like to come. What's the address?

  • @Navy SEAL x Ray True, but the troops signed up for the all volunteer military, did they not sign up themselves? They had a choice they were not drafted, they know what they were getting themselves into. So how could I feel bad for them? A puppet to a wicked Govt. How were they protecting me and you? What did we need protection from? People might say I don't know what it's like being in the military or that I’m not a veteran, but I am I helped spread ameriKKKan democracy.

  • Semper Fi, do or die, HOORAH!

  • R.I.P Marine, going in after i get my associates

  • its sad that a grown up can be such a pussy and hide behind words.fuck you and your superior lungiustic skills.ill take a bullet for you only because im just a mindless idiot doing my job.oh yea im 19 too.

  • that is sad but its true and i'm going into U.S. Army and right now i'm 15 but i'll be happy to give my life for America

  • You will never know what is like for us that are serving our beloved country. You have no idea what we go through when we are on deployment and can't even talk to our loved ones for months at a time. And who are we putting our lives up for? We are risking our lives to defend this nation and all of it's citizens, which would include you, so stop talking down on us service members and have some damn respect for the people that protect you!

  • Hi, sailor. MONTHS at a time, no contact? I thought our oversized Defense budget could get your ships satellite phones!

    (I was going to join the Navy but after a lady named "jemsmom" scared me about getting shoved into DJ's locker, I decided to try the Air Force.)

  • RIP, but hey, he stole my idea. I guess now, if god forbit something happen to me, They'll have to play "comfortably numb" by Pink Floyd.

  • Please don't do that to your loved ones. You don't realize how hurtful that can be to your survivors. Yes, they may know that you don't mean to hurt any of them, but it's hard to deal with, just the same. Please let them decide what to play or not to play for the sake of all those who love you!

  • LMAO!! Bless this soldier's heart. Who said funerals have to be sad all the time.

    RIP I salute you!

  • RIP

  • continued

    military or not they are going to be there to protect your very freedom im not saying that tis nation hasnt made mistakes no nation is perfect there will always be flaws but the least you can do is pay some fucking respect to a dead man.. a dead man so risked his life for his country and no person who was in the military would get mad at you for being a fuckin dick because they put ther lives in the line so you can be a dick head shit eating faggot as bitch

  • @818czar UR FULL OF SHIT.F?CKYOU & UR FREEDOM.THESE TERRORIST SOLDIERS R GONNA HELP TAKE OUR FREEDOMS AWAY.WANT PROOF?WATCH 1ST 9 VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL.

  • @ pvd021 you fucking liberal piece of shit cunt smelling dick loving ass munching son of a cunt... i hate people like you the reason you can say shit here is because of people like that fallen Marine!!!! the reason why you love living here is because of our veterans and active duty men and women!!! i want to see how long you last in a combat zone youll be the first one to fucking die..i once heard a Marine say and i quote "Even a liberal society needs to be protected" see whether you like our

  • Our old veterans fought against the Nazi's to defend America. These guys invaded a country and destroyed for no god damn reason. I say what I say because of the constitution. These soldiers, did not fight to protect my way of life, they fought to instill America's way of life onto Iraqi culture. If you're too stupid to be able to differentiate the two, maybe you should stfu, stop posting and open a damn history book. Real soldiers protect and liberate people, these guys protect oil fields.

  • You really are a fucking idiot you should really know what the fuck your actually talking about at times. The soldiers and military aren't the ones who started the war they do what they do because they have to if you have such a problem with this take it up with the government their the ones who started it and make the decisions. You really need to learn what the fuck your talking about before you talk shit. History has nothing to do of what I have been telling you dumb ass!

  • OK so what part of the military is currently focused on IRAQ right now? How many troops are over there? What part of our budget and focused on Iraq? The answer is MOST. What you fail to realize is that the military IS part of our government. HISTORY has to do with EVERYTHING. You really think you know everything don't you? You're pompous, and you think you know it all. News for you, you're still a kid, you're still a student. The name calling just makes you look juvenile.

  • If you really want to be pissed off with someone about the war it's Bush and his administration who got us into this mess. I do know everything that you have been saying, and I do agree with you about America trying to impose it's ways on other nations whose cultures are too different. It's always been that way in past history throughout the world like in Iran. But when you try to view your right you sound like some diluted extremist who makes up shit that isn't true or dilutes the truth.

  • How do I sound like an extremist? What did I say that's not true? You can't make a clear rebuttal so now you throw accusations and name call people after people tell you something you can't refute? Yeah you really need to think about what I said, and get back to me. And if you paid attention to the war, The cities in IRAQ were LOOTED, while the soldiers stood around watching, while GUARDING the oil fields. It was all over CNN and it was Rumsfields orders.

  • I'm pompous this whole time isn't that calling the kettle black. This whole time your the one talking down to people about everything you have said makes you sound like an arrogent asshole. Telling others iv traveled the world and how your in grad school. O yeah doesn't make you sound arrogant at all. O advanced degree or what ever you wanna call it makes you a graduate STUDENT. You really are full of yourself you thinking because you watch CNN that you know everyhting.

  • You ask me what I do, I tell you I'm in grad school. You asks questions but you don't like my answers. But whatever you think the military is great, you support the troops, you're gonna go and join, possibly die in battle. I don't support you, your decision, you're cause, and instead of going ok, whatever, fine, you call me an asshole because I won't support when you become a soldier, or the troops.

    So because people are soldiers, you demand support. Now that IS a pompous ass outlook.

  • Either way, you're still childish, immature and have much to learn in life. Hopefully you'll grow out of it and develop some reading comprehension. I'm not your English teacher and since you can't understand the points that I'm making, then well its your loss, your stupidity. But I'm done with you. Go join up, go fight, tell yourself, you're making a difference, when the reality is, you're just a pawn, you're a utensil, utilized to promote bad policy. But its your choice, your stupidity.

  • While you were visiting the world you should have visited a military town or base. Then you would understand how hard it is on the troops and families. You really think that our soldiers would want to go to a war zone where they could die then be with their families. If you do then your really messed up. O the reason why i'm is so I can get my college degree so I will be an officer. So what have you done? Instead of being a smartass who talks down and really has no clue what he is saying.

  • Oh so you're still an undergrad. I've already gotten my degree. I'm working on my advanced degree now. So in other words you think that the military are mindless pawns and HAVE TO OBEY orders and do exactly what the president says, so in that regard they are exempt from any liability or ridicule for their actions. Its like as if they were forced in their situation. They are not responsible for any of the actions they do because it was ordered.

  • So let me ask you something, when a police officer profiles people because it was an order given by their command, are they exempt from liabilitya and their actions? When an accountant shreds paper because their boss told them to do so, are they exempt from liability? When your president orders you to level a country that never had anything to do with 9/11 or anything or you exempt from your actions? Or do you say I'm just a mindless idiot doing my job?

  • I have tons of people around me in the military. I have a brother in law that guarded the castle that belonged to Saddam, he asked if we could send him a fishing pole so he could go fishing, my father in law was a Colonel in the military, my father was a captain. And I've seen how they were utilized and decommissioned after the military had no use for them. Its use and abuse. This is why I'm just going to do my thing in grad school, and live my life.

  • semper fi marine!!

  • Semper Fi

  • the real heroes in war are the ones who have fallen for their country like this guy did and rip for the fallen soldier

  • @oct2988 The real heroes are those who are willing to fight for freedom, whether or not they die means nothing. The fact that they know death is lurking ahead, that they know the dangers involved, and that they enlist in military service regardless makes them all heroes.

  • @IMattchewB did you do military cuase i did rotc and i had some WWII veterans tellin us that the real heroes are the ones who have fallen so you really don't know what your talkin about unless you did something like this

  • @oct2988 You don't deserve an answer to your inquiry, but I will tell you that WWII Veterans are going to say such things about their fallen comrades. Why? Because they cared about these fellows. I'd like to see someone approach a WWII Veteran and say to him or her that he or she is not a hero, in front of me, ROTC person; I'd probably slap their face. You dig? Why don't you and Michael Moron go play house in Canada somewhere, dip-wad, and stay out of the U.S.A.

  • @oct2988 you need to kill yourself immediately. I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan as a marine infantryman and I have personally seen living, breathing, thinking, feeling heroes. I just watched a marine get awarded a purple heart and bronze star with combat V (that stands for valor, idiot) but i bet you think he's not a hero either because he's still breathing. You're a virus to society and should be eliminated.

  • @djcusmc07 Semper Fidelis Devil

  • @djcusmc07 damn straight and if everything you say its true which i believe it is thank you for your service.

  • @oct2988 shut the fuck up kid.

  • @gogo6point0 how about no i'll say whatever the fuck i want

  • @oct2988 oh you like freedom of speech? well lets let all the dead heroes protect that right for you since all the live ones aren't really heroes. dumbass.

  • @gogo6point0 hell yea and if it wasn't for him you whouldn be here so go and stfu

  • @oct2988 kid you are dumb they're still heroes but they can't do anything for us anymore TARD

  • @oct2988

    the real heroes are the Iraqi & Afghan families who have suffered the onslaught from the West for the last 20-30 years

  • Semper Fi

  • not everybody can do good for his country only a few, if you want the world to see you join in the marines so stand fast be the best we can be

  • Listen here mophuck, some people have the honor to go fight instead of sit at home and nitpick people's clothing.

  • The 'honor' of fighting? Stop lying to yourself. The FACT of the matter is, the US military has lowered its standards, its infantry troops are made up mostly of the financially disadvantaged. I really feel bad for this guys family, but lets call a spade a spade, this guy wasn't the best or the brightest.

  • What the fuck would you know about this country's infantry? I personally know several infantryman with whom I graduated high school. One of them was the son of a dentist and the other turned down a partial academic scholarship. Stop believing that anyone who chooses to serve their country in combat must be either stupid or financially disadvantaged. It just means they have a higher calling and more courage than you can shake a god damn stick at.

  • @R00tBreaker Many military members are college grads. Many are in support units like Dental, Medical, Chaplain services, etc.  Lots of humanitarian aid is provided by this government by way of the military.

    But them many people don't want to be educated about that. ;-(

  • that is not true, some of the smartest people I knew were in the military and i'm going to college right now, not a community college but a renowned university here in the midwest.

  • That's ironic because MANY of the dumbest people I met went on and joined the military. I've also had classes with them, worked with them, and they're pretty much goofballs for the most part. Granted none of the people I worked with were officers, but the ratio of officers to enlistment really would most likely support my view and assumptions. Hope the best for you and your future education.

  • @pvd021 the military is a great way to get rid of stupid americans.but its sad that all they are doing is killing innocent people.someday soon it will all come back to us,watch.

  • Well, I guess the smarter servicemen know how to survive!

  • Maybe you need to live in a bubble and not in the US. My husband has served 3 times in the last 4 years and has never regretted serving this country. I think the people you have been around, has rubbed off on you. These AMERICANS swear an oath to give their lives to their country. If you don't have anything nice to say, then shove it! You don't have to live in the US, according to you being smarter than everyone...go somewhere else!

  • BTW...this reply was to pvd021

  • And if you could explain how your husband fighting in Iraq somehow serves to protect my freedom or way of life in America, I would love to hear it. Btw he's fighting in Iraq, to apparently find some imaginary WMD, or spread the ideas of democracy, or help rebuild a nation that the US military help destroy.... All of which is not the primary function of the US military. Which is to PROTECT america, not spread democracy and protect the citizens of other nations.
