[limacharlie6]

??



[limacharlie6]

Cant you just blow the whole god damn base to kingdom come.

[Myday54]

The war is only on halt....things are fixing to break loose again!!

[streetrace442]

I feel sorry for the people in our military today being forced to put up with the low life in Washington. Old school is still the best!

[KillahB89]

@streetrace442 what are you talking about?

[streetrace442]

@KillahB89 The low life?  Obama.

[Abdikarimelmi]

@streetrace442 Better than Mitt Romney 

[streetrace442]

@Abdikarimelmi The only differences between Obama and Romney is, one is black and the other is white. The only thing missing from Mitts is mouth is the term "Hope and Change"

[Skyhigh527]

wow fuck that job, i feel like most of those them got "stuck" with that

[EJ1OverSpool]

@Skyhigh527 the job is good if your with MarDiv, but being in MLG sucks.

[jcuttem1]

go marines go

[silentmason]

I was deployed there for 7 months. It's so weird to see it go!

[DJxKILLERBOY117]

alright it is multimmedia but i enjoy it still why not you guys

[Lydpad]

Sending gratitude to our Marines and all of our troops. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go about your daily jobs and missions. Looking forward to the day when you are ALL home! Be careful out there! With love from a Soldier's Angel

[gatorfoot3006]

As a former Marine myself, I say God bless them, and Semper Fi, but that whole Afghanistan campaign is such a waste. Bring our troops home, now please.

[LackOfAk]

lol homo marines don't even have the money to buy fuel

[TheMexOfAmerica]

@LackOfAk shut up hadji.

[devildog123451]

@LackOfAk bastard, they can take over your country and forcefully take it out

[MrChestypuller1775]

@LackOfAk lol i bet they can work harder than you, are more disciplined, have more women than you, escpecially the officers, the officers get paid more than you, and you don't make a difference in the world and never would, Mr. Walmart worker

[senicbase3]

little did the camera guy know that his camera was on picture mode......

[senicbase3]

look at all the deconstruction

[williambasilone]

can't believe the pres is cutting the Corps if anything we should be building up, which is also what china and iran are doing

[npr386]

@williambasilone You would be so much cooler if your first name was John. Just saying

[soulcapacitor]

It's a slideshow because they're deconstructing a base so the enemy doesn't know the full details on the type or how much protection it has.

[BulletProofQs]

*JRM

[BulletProofQs]

@TheJMR222 the war is NOT over! People need to understand its over in Iraq, we are still here in Afghanistan.

[xXMrGamePlayerXx]

@BulletProofQs but not as much as before -_-

[LordKhain]

@BulletProofQs I was unaware that we were at war, since there was no declaration of war signed by congress.

[EJ1OverSpool]

@BulletProofQs we are actually retrograding...which is what you see in the vid. 9th ESB replaced me in early 2010 when our mission was destroying the enemy and building FOBs etc, clearing PBs and sweeping/patrols. now you can see them retrograding, which means the way is about over.

[TheJRM222]

finally this war has come to a end and cant wait for you guys to come home to your familys :)

[green2882]

is this a slideshow or is my computer just fucked up?

[X3NERGYSKuLL]

@green2882 same here

[RAMMSTEIN4HIMMER]

@green2882 It's a slide, I thought it was my computer too but looks like that's not the case.

[BlackFlagProperty]

@green2882 Budget cuts! The Marine corps can only afford 1 frame per minute now.

[DJHazzard]

@green2882 no the Marines works so faaassst you can only take pictures xD on movie you will only see stripes

[JtagModdingJM]

I like when we make em not take em down. Iraq war is over and now there are less jobs. stupid, pres.

[agent4051]

This must be a bitter sweet for them.

[liamconnolly33]

this is a beautiful sight seeing our boys getting ready to come home

[B1LLVANILYBOY]

Why exactly they are destroying the firebases !

[TheRazorbackpilot]

@B1LLVANILYBOY Simple, so the Taliban can't use them once we're done with them.

[B1LLVANILYBOY]

@TheRazorbackpilot hehe !

[anteracmacash]

the fuck is up with all these afghan slideshows posing as videos ?????????

[Azhdeen2]

@anteracmacash They can't show you footage obviously..

[TheOnePistol]

@Azhdeen2 I agree with the other guy, you can at least put slideshow in the title. :P

[anteracmacash]

@Azhdeen2 bullshit, they've been making these piece of crap slide shows about the most un-important reports ever posted

[Azhdeen2]

@anteracmacash So why are you complaining? Who cares?

[anteracmacash]

@Azhdeen2 CAUSE I'M HERE ON YOUTUBE FOR THE VIDEOS NOT FOR THE FUCKING SLIDESHOWS!!!!!! THAT'S WHY I'M FUCKING COMPLAINING!!!

[Azhdeen2]

@anteracmacash Exactly how old is your scrawny little ass anyway child? Grow the fuck up

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash

We can get you help.

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash I made this multimedia, which you call a "slideshow". How would you go about telling the Marines' story? Just curious.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 uuuh, I don't know...maby by making a VIDEO...you know with VIDEO footage

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash Oh, so you have the capabilities to do that? You have the training and the equipment? You're also brave enough to cross over miles of terrain that have IED's buried everywhere? Please, enlighten me. YOU are the expert.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 so you're telling me that it's better to send a combat correspondent to take a few pictures and then spend hours of selecting which one of them he'll put into a video together instead of having him bring just a regular camera like every combat correspondent has and let him send all the video footage back to his base??

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 fucktard this is not a critique of the combat correspondents but the people who send them there...you can clearly hear that they've recorded the sound of the events portrayed up here...which means they most likely had a regular camera but some asshole back in the states thought it would be better if they just used the pictures instead...how the fuck does that justify the sacrifice of the correspondents ??

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 asshole I'd give anything to join the Corps but I CAN'T. And please don't tell me that you're one of those "only god can judge me" douchefags...being in the Corps does not exclude you from feedback...and believe it or not but there's a reason why youtube has a like/dislike bar...if you can't stand negative feedback then tell you superior officer to take down your video but don't give me shit for criticizing it in a commenting section

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash Can't join the Corps, huh? Heard that one before.

When you get down to it, you just don't understand multimedias. It's too hard for you to comprehend. It's not your fault. It's your parents.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 yeah you give me a green card and I'll join any time of the day and wouldn't settle for anything less then 0311...now tell me please, how does a slideshow give us a better picture of what's happening out there then a video?

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash And then your recruiter makes you settle for water support technician.

Get a green card, sign up for 4341 and then tell me how I should tell the Marines' story. I can take criticism for my work, but not from someone who doesn't understand storytelling through multimedia.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 HAH! get a green card XD

you make it sound like they're giving out those at Walmart XD XD

and I'm sorry but the commenting section on YouTube is not closed to people who don't do your job, so you're just gonna have to deal with it

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash Apparently they're not giving brains out at Walmart either.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 great, they don't let immigrants like me in the Corps but they obviously let 12 year olds join...

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash It's a shame too bc we need more water support technicians.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 water dogs bring water, correspondents make pictures...you take a guess which one is more important in Afghanistan

[dabbler62]

@anteracmacash Well, seeing as I'm in Afghanistan (and you're not), I'd say mine. All of water is bottled.

[anteracmacash]

@dabbler62 and who says I would be a water dog???I'm not dumb enough like you to sign an open contract XD

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash if you signe several different contracts you can end up as a waterdog. you dont choose your job in the Marine Corps, you choose your field - unless you signed a group contract for ground or air.

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash and yes they do let immigrants in, another squad leader in my plt is from germany, he didnt get his citizenship until late last year.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool there's a difference between a citizenship and a permanent residency...you might wanna google that one

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash you wouldnt do well in the Marine Corps anyway...

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool go choke on a dick or something

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash thats exactly why you wouldnt do well in the Marines, you have a fuckin attitude problem.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool you sound like a buddy fucker to me

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash lol how is that exactly?

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool you're judging my decision and eligibility to join based on my last 3 comments...

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash you said you couldnt join, i just pointed out that you have an attitude problem, and would not do well in the Marine Corps. would you rather me lie to you?

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool no, I appreciate your ease of judging other people based on such small detail

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash and i appriciate your sarcasm. 3 for 3, not hard to tell if someone has a bad attitude.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool there are former convicts that made not only good marines but got up to the title of marine of the year...so I'm not worried about my "attitude" cause frankly all that matters is my attitude towards the corps it self

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash being a convict has nothing to do with their attitude, it means they made a bad choice. if you dont think you have an attitude problem, thats fine - the Marine Corps wont have to deal with it anyway.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool hah, that's exactly where you're wrong...I know personally convicts that made it in the corps and "attitude problems" would be a huge understatement to describe their character

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash do you? i want to meet them.

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash by the way...you wouldnt have a clue how yod do because your not in it, i am - i know of a lot of people that have attitude problems. i even deployed with them, you know what they shit? the shit work, late night fire watch, running shit back and fourth, putting up C wire...shit like that. so think what you want, but im here to see it. its like me argueing with you over what goes on in the streets of your home town.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool who said I ever wanted to argue with you over this?? You we're the one pushing your opinion on me...and the shit you've described, sounds like exactly the type of shit I would wanna do...my plan is not to join and serve as company paper weight or as a fucking desk jockey...

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash im not pushing shit on you, im telling you how it is.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool you're telling your opinion...something I never asked you for

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash facts actually...you dont need to ask, im telling you what it is. your attitude would get you into a lot of fights.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool thanks, but I've been doing fine so far with this attitude...you might have misjudged me with your Jerry Springer analysis

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash your also not in the Marine Corps, so you have no idea how you would do with that attitude, hence e telling you...are you slow?

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool which part of your opinion doesn't matter to me don't you understand ??

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash not an opinion, its a fact - but your a fuckin idiot, so you wouldnt get that. im glad iv never had to deal with retards like you first hand before.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool yeah, I'm sure every other fucking marine would agree with you too...cause they all get along so well

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash not that you would know.

[anteracmacash]

@EJ1OverSpool what ever you say Dr. Phil

[EJ1OverSpool]

@anteracmacash dumb ass.

[jklharris]

@anteracmacash It's called a multimedia, not a slideshow. Unless you have it muted, at which point I wonder why you even would want to watch a video.

[bam726]

@anteracmacash They do enough for this country, but hopefully in the new fiscal year they'll put video editing/posting on the budget just for your whiny ass. Signed, Former Marine. Have a nice day :)

[DJxKILLERBOY117]

@anteracmacash they probably cant put up footage or the reporter didnt have a video camera he had just a regular picture camera

[dabbler62]

@DJxKILLERBOY117

Nah, I had a video camera. I just wanted to do a multimedia.
