Imagine Iraq - Apache 4-23 Tribute

[KAndrey1981]

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.” – Father O’Brien, USMC

[gordurinhaneto]

just want you to answer me one thing, who was it that blew up the twin towers was Saddam, I do not know, beautiful excuse to steal oil from other thieves and murderers of their children, where is the bin laden, ya should have come atars them and not to steal oil and other still kill their countrymen as an excuse to steal petroleum

[katrar]

I have reopened comments for this video. Fascists will not be tolerated here, all others are welcome.

[ZombieSci]

@katrar thank you for all have done . =)

[katrar]

The comments have gone far beyond this video's original purpose, IE to honor A Co of 4-23 Infantry's tour of duty in Iraq. Therefore I've closed text comments.

To the rabid right, shame on you for spreading your filth here.

The those many of you that have posted in defense of real patriots and veterans everywhere, thank you all.

[banjomon]

DawgFascist is a pussy.

[calitopbear]

Really? Great grandfather served in WWI, Grandfather served in WWII, Dad served in Korea, I was in the USMC at the time of the Beiruit bombings and served in Grenada. All three of us members of the American Legion and VFW. I think that makes me from a long line of military men.

You are a coward DF, nothing more nothing less.

[calitopbear]

Right.... People who have gone overseas and faced enemy fire are cowards while a chicken shit kid who never saw combat except on the tee-vee and in movies is the epitome of bravery and valor.

[DawgFan951]

BTW - Go to Iraq and tell 80% of them like my brother in law that they are there for an unjust reason. You'll come back with a broken jaw.

[calitopbear]

You must never read the Army Times, the Navy Times, or the Air Force Times, all three military newspapers. Most of the troops who write in question why they are there.

[DawgFan951]

Yet again, tell me why John McCain got 80% of the military vote. Tell me how he did.

[DawgFan951]

Do you simply have no answer as to why 80% of our military voted for an Iraq war supporter like John McCain if they disagreed with being there in the first place?

[bomagosh]

Actually, I don't think they're as doctrinaire as you believe. They have the same questions as we do about what they're doing. The troops are there because it's their duty and they follow orders issued by the commander in chief and their superiors. I would hope that they don't share your simplistic worldview. Or if they do, they would respect the fact that they are fighting, in part, to give us the freedom to disagree with our government without fear.

[kansasrfl]

On this Memorial Day weekend I only have one comment that is appropriate

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

[Holly9854]

Bwaaaahhhh....You are so immature.

Thank you Katrar for your service to our country. DawgFan doesn't seem to understand that freedom of speech means taking the opportunity to speak your mind and expressing yourself clearly. Maybe DawgFan forgot his 'meds' this morning because he sure doesn't make any sense.

[calitopbear]

If you believe in it so much, why didn't you enlist right out of high school? Why haven't you put your ass on the line for your cause?

The fact of the matter is your heroes Bush and Cheney lied us into war with Iraq. Thousands of our troops have died for a lie, yet you sit there all comfortable in your chair typing away at a keyboard and never once stood for a moment in their boots.

[DawgFan951]

Ah, so it was a lie? It wasn't the fact that Saddam and Iraq has always been training grounds for terrorism?

I chose a different path and I have that right. I grew up in a military family. Just because you do that doesn't mean you have to follow in their footsteps. I SUPPORT our troops more than katrar ever will. It was NOT a lie. Hussein terrorized his own country for YEARS and YEARS. He tried to exterminate the Kurds in the early 90s.

It was not a lie. Treason is thinking it was one.

[calitopbear]

Yes it was a lie including the one you just told. Iraq was never a training ground for terrorism until we invaded turning it into the biggest terrorist boot camp in the world.

If you believe in the cause so much why isn't your ass in uniform over there fighting them instead of sitting in your comfy chair?

[DawgFan951]

Yes, it was.....

[skullstirrer]

You don't support the troops more than someone that served. That is just ridiculous.

[calitopbear]

And it's awfully damn convenient how the biggest cheerleaders for this ill-conceived war of Bush's "chose a different path" like Cheney and his five deferments, Rush Limbaugh and the pimple on his butt, yet they feel free to call people who served and disagree with them traitors, cowards, and pussies.

There's a term for what you are doing here, it's called projection.

[DawgFan951]

Kind of like what you're doing? You consider me a coward because I feel this guy is a worm for not supporting his military troops and voting for a man that IS NOT for a strong military.

To paraphrase Dick Cheney, America needs to be respected. I'll take Dick Cheney over the kiss ass of Obama. Not too mention he's incompetent on top of that.

BTW - Closing of Gitmo got voted down.....another one against Obama.

[tilidin]

@DawgFan951 we need a strong military? we have more ships than every other navy in the world combined, we speed something like 60% of the worlds military spending. do we realy need that strong of a military? if we spent half of what we do we would still be ahead of any 1 other nation.

[banjomon]

Hey scum, put your money where your fat ass mouth is and sign up. Chicken shit

[DawgFan951]

Hey scum, kiss my ass.

[DawgFan951]

BTW - For all you that think this katrar fellow is a such a swell guy....HE was the one who came on another video attacking me and others that agreed with Dick Cheney. I didn't just pop up out of nowhere for no reason.

The coward said this: Fuck You

NeoCon piece of shit

That's exactly what he said and he's a piece of shit and a liar on top of it for not saying why I started attacking him in the first place.

Facts suck.

[DawgFan951]

LOL at this guy getting all of his buddies to help him out. He didn't have but a handful of comments in one year and now a shitload magically show up? Hmmmmm. Funny shit.

As for all of the morons here - I'm simply telling you what my brother in law (a marine) has told me. Those that supported Obama were outcasts in the military.

Saying what we're doing in Iraq is wrong DISGRACES those that gave their life for this country. That's why 80% of he military voted for an AMERICAN HERO in McCain.

[mjstvnsn]

Good work on your video, don't let the Limpball/Glenn Beck 'tards get you down. What do they know about serving? Most are fat f*cks living in mommy's basement, pussied out when they have the chance to serve. Just like 5 draft deferment Cheney.

[ArmyMominTX]

Beautiful video! Sorry the idiot CitizensAgainstObama had to come poop in the punchbowl - what an absurd cretin.

Thanks for your service - kudos to the rest of your unit! My son is due home from Iraq in a week or so...I know it's not a pleasant way to spend a part of your life.

[djtyg]

Good job telling that pos off, btw:).

[aaraujo02910]

BZ!

[meldroc]

Oh, one more thing: Awesome video!

[meldroc]

To katrar, thank you for your service, from a fellow Kossack. ;)

To CitizensAgainstObama, go drink a jug of bleach and follow it with an ammonia chaser, for wishing that a servicemember died on the battlefield. You're nothing but a cowardly sack of shit.

[grimjack28]

no. u.

he went over and fought for his country, yourself included. now to anyone, including a soldier or a marine, if you compared yourself to the warrior who posted this video, who do you think most people would think to be a dickless embarrassment to the military? Him or You? He went over to support his fellows and face dangers, foreign and domestic. You on the other hand, contribute by insulting soldiers on youtube.

How about you go get yourself unfucked, and then come back and talk to us?

[meldroc]

DawgFan951:

You're another cowardly keyboard wannabe-warrior posting un-American, treasonous trash disparaging our servicemembers just for being Democrats. No worries. You're powerless. You'll do nothing but flame on the Internet and rage impotently from your mommy's basement. You're nothing, but you entertain us when you continue to froth at the mouth.

Post the link to your alleged attack, if you've got one and aren't making shit up.

[DawgFan951]

Treason would be defined as thinking our involvement overseas is a mistake. Learn the definition.

BTW - Talk about powerless. You're just as powerless as I am and I find all of this quite entertaining as well.

[banjomon]

Hey asshole, why don't you go sign up and sniff out some roadside bombs for the troops? Unless you're a chicken ass chickenhawk mommas boy you need to go prove yourself. Better yet, you ought to post us a video of where you're hiding. Give us a few clues so we can send some balls to you.

[calitopbear]

DF, you don't know the definition of the word treason. It's not treasonous to disagree with the government. Treason is talking about seceding from the union. Treason is actively doing things to make our country less safe and secure. Treason is lying our men and women in uniform into battle.

[skullstirrer]

That is not the definition of treason.

[calitopbear]

My bet is DF isn't what he says he is and I doubt very seriously he comes from a military family. If he did he'd know most of our men and women in uniform don't want to be over there in Iraq and many do feel it's a mistake. Look at how they mob Obama like a rock star and contrast that with how they reacted to Bush Admin officials who visited them.

[DawgFan951]

Yeah, is that why 80% of them voted for John McCain? Explain why McCain got 80% of the vote if they disagree.

[calitopbear]

Yet another myth. The fact of the matter is no one really knows for sure because most precincts don't track that data.

I can say when I was in the USMC we were "encouraged" to vote for Reagan because he supposedly was the better choice for the military even though he cut our pay, reduced budgets for equipment and supplies, and toyed with the idea of eliminating the Marine Corps.

[calitopbear]

That person you call a loon also won by a landslide, son. Face it, your side lost. Big. Bush made this country weaker. He squandered resources on a war that not only was unnecessary, but in violation of international law. He put in place policies that led directly to the economic crisis where we find ourselves and allowed the worst terrorist attack in the history of this country to happen. He was told flat out what was going to happen and did nothing to stop it.

[armadilloze]

DawgFan951: "Reagan won the biggest landslide in history..."

Lyndon Johnson 61.1%, Barry Goldwater 38.5% in 1964

Franklin D. Roosevelt 60.8%, Alf Landon 36.5% in 1936

Richard Nixon 60.7%, George McGovern'37.5% in 1972

Warren Harding 60.3%, James M. Cox 34.1% in 1920

Ronald Reagan 58.8%, Walter Mondale 40.6% in 1984

Don't trust anything this guy says, people. Sounds like he gets his data from Mark Levin.

I enlisted in 1966 for three years, what's this chickenhawk's excuse?

[bomagosh]

Treason is disagreeing with you, Dawg -- gotcha. You're a brilliant thinker as well as a bold warrior, I guess!

[DawgFan951]

Nah, apparently that's the reasoning behind the others here....I said he's a dickless embarrassment (which he is) and he said that's treason....got it?

[muellerjj3]

Thank you for your service, for this excellent video and for the courage to speak the truth.

[sweetandexcellent]

Why do neocons hate so much?

Thank you for this video. You are the hero.

Please take care. The hate I read here is

unblievable. May God have mercy on their souls and take away this hate for they no not what they do.

[calitopbear]

With a name like "Citizens Against Obama" I have to wonder who is the traitor here? I don't recall a single Democrat calling for secession from the union while Bush was president, yet several supposedly patriotic Republicans have called for it. Patriots love their country, they don't talk about walking away from it.

I've served in our Armed Forces. I've taken the oath to protect and defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign AND domestic.

[calitopbear]

going on...

It's okay if you disagree - dissent makes us stronger, but you can't call yourself patriotic when you hope people who have put their lives on the line to keep you safe rot in hell and call them pussies.

[DawgFan951]

You weren't paying attention. They just want Bush and Cheney to go to jail. You fail.

[katrar]

I'm leaving your posts up so everyone can see what real Neocons are like.

Your worst of disrespect towards a veteran betray just how un-American neocons really are.

If you had any balls you'd have signed on the dotted line yourself. But you didn't. So enjoy your ability to troll anonymously on the internet, thanks to liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, from all sides of the political spectrum.

Except yours. Because we all know neocon fucks like you never join the military.

[grimjack28]

I think our little chickenhawk friend over here could be a proud member of that elite cyber-recon unit: the RedState Strike Force. Putting his bandwidth and his life on the line to fight in the culture wars.

we should thank him for his service to our country.

[svosprey]

Little 22 year old punk can barely wipe his own ass and he has the nerve to call someone a traitor who has put his life on the line for his country.

Ignore the cowardly comments from the likes of this fearful asshole.

Thanks for the video and good luck in your new life katrar.

[calitopbear]

Right. If this little punk feels so strongly about this why wasn' t his ass in the military over there in Iraq right out of high school?

[djtyg]

So you want an American Soldier to die because of his political views?

So when exactly did you join Al Queda, CAO?

[dudio0192]

Hey Punk,

Why not walk through Camp Lejune with a sign protesting President Obama?

What no balls?

Just like the rest of your right wing wackos Cheney, Limpballs, Hannity.....

Great Video, thanks.

[ArchibaldWatt]

CAO, you are a disgusting person. I'm ashamed to share a country with you.

[DawgFan951]

Yeah, and I'm ashamed to share a country with someone who believes our involvement in Iraq when those like my brother in law have served and believe in the cause and that we are just in our involvement.

It disgraces the name of our great country to have a few morons like this guy parading around like our involvement is a mistake because many have given their lives for this cause.

I'm embarrassed to share a country with someone who's dicklless like him and apparently you as well.

[djtyg]

As an veteran of both Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, please kiss my ass. I bet little yellow magnet on your car says "Support our troops unless they disagree with you politically. Then spit on them."

Fucking unpatriotic troop hating asshole.

[DawgFan951]

You are a fucking jackass and a clueless one at that. The man threatened to shoot me before I said what I did. He's a fucking nutcase and he deleted his old comment on that.

He's a sick fuck and he deserves all of the attacks I gave him for purposely attacking me on another video.

[scheberthegreat]

Not bad dude. SFC Scheber

[videokingkling08]

amazing video it really inspired me

[ArkaelDren]

Very respectful.... I only wish other countries would truly educate/remind their citizens about the sacrifices our Soldiers/Country has made from WWI to present for the worlds freedom. I never hear Europeans post positive comments about what we are fighting for. Makes me ask why my grandfather had to die in an RAF spit after the fall of France.

[poanoramix]

i'm from belgium, europe, and i have respect for what these men are doing, i think they are all hero's. but why do you think we don't have respect? i think it's not true!

[ArkaelDren]

I appreciate your reply to my post. First I would apologize for stereo typing. That said, to say their isn't a lot of America bashing today would be a blatant disregard for the truth. The majority of what we read/hear is very bad to our moral. Please as a citizen from basically sister nations, promote and appreciate our losses in order to protect us all. I am positive,that if Belgium or any Nation/Country were under any siege, we would give our lives to defend it. We always have and will.

[poanoramix]

and i appreciate your reply:)

indeed, there is a lot of stereo typing going on, but that's something that is wrong in practically every society ( my opinion)

But like you said, we would give our lives to defend it. everything would be so much better, if all people would appreciate what each other is doing for his country!!

so America!! keep on defending and saving people, you already have my respect, now it's up to the others.

grtz mate!

[Dylan912395]

very well done video and nice music
