We fight because we are lied to and believe the lies that are told to us by our government. Wars are started because misfits wants to make a profit from the sacrifice of our sons and daughters to spill their blood on foreign soil. One day, all these profiteers will stand in judgement before God for the choices they have made for the lives of their brothers and sisters. I wonder want excuse they are going to give for their actions?
3:25 "minimize collateral damage" That's exactly the same rhetoric - or should we say propaganda - used in Vietnam. We have the smartest weapons and the most precise bombs, which means we can keep civilians out of the line of fire.
BS then, BS now. Simply not true and yet they believe it.
4:04 "Every Generation has its heroes" - Theres a great quote from Bertolt Brecht (in the play 'Life of Galileo'): Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes...
the most ironic think is "we do as we are told" is the same answer when they ask the nazi soldiers why they killed innocent people ........"we do as we are told"..........
The guy at the end, who lost his son in 9/11, mowed people down with a machine gun from a helicopter in Vietnam. He says they were dots on the ground so he obviously didn't know if they were armed, whether they were men or women or children. But when his son gets killed he doesn't see the irony of his anger.
Lol but you're as bad as the people you rant about. You hide behind the anonymity of the internet and say terrible things knowing that there will be no repercussion. I guess it would be called trolling.
@MrJimshot1990 What have I said that is terrible? That it's ironic that a man who shot people in Vietnam without knowing if they were armed, whether they were men or women or children, gets angry when is son is killed? That's not terrible, that's the truth. It's not terrible to say that Christianity is a Bronze-age myth either, it's true. If you can't handle the truth, that's your problem.
precision weapons to eliminate civilian casualties they say...well maybe Israel is getting the out-dated "precision weapons" from the US since they are landing on schools, hospitals, playgrounds, etc.
@varnlestoff Perhaps, but I think he exemplifies the type of person who does enlist. His life is not going anywhere and he cant see a future yet he blindly signs up to murder ppl and beleives he will retire...all I can say to him is....good luck with that buddy if the bullets dont get u - ur own conscience will haunt u for all the pain u caused with ur guns/bombs
what a nice way to spread democray fuck no wonder everyone hates the US government yet they fucking wonder whyy? they will one day pay for their crimes against humanity!!
That kid is a damn fool if he thinks his life's problem will be solved by going into the desert to murder innocent people while fighting an unjust lie of a war. This country should be ashamed, hell we should be ashamed that we the people allow this corruption & greed to con't unchecked, time to get up, stand up!!
Corporations use our government to start wars they don't have to fight, so they can make a profit. They put the lives of young men and women in harms way to make a buck. Join the movement and pass a Constitutional Amendment to Abolish "Corporate Personhood" and ban corporations from politics. Take down the Military Industrial Complex. Move To Amend!
i hate cops they are so corrupted and organized like the military.. that cop needs to know that he is living a lie his whole life dressed in uniform on a helicopter shooting at "little dots" on the ground and now being a cop and being pissed off that his son was killed in 9/11... he has no idea how much fabrication the gov't puts on the war on terror. before Iraq there was no al-queida but once we came in there came a boom of them.. the victims of 9/11 were used as a tool for war
during world war two men went to fight for selfless reasons there was a reverece and a deep conviction to help the opressed now its SELFISH reasons its all me me they join to get somthing out of it!
@visafreddy You've obviously never served. Taking orders is what it is about. Just because you take orders doesn't mean you think. Whether you agree with the order or not you do it. As long as its lawful- you do it.
@visafreddy - I completely understand your point and I strongly agree with it, maybe it's not that people don't use logic to see that some "orders" are morally wrong, it's just that if they don't follow thru, they will be in some deep sh*#. Sadly, it's all about taking care of our own skin, human nature I guess.
@visafreddy I THINK THAT WAS THE DEFENSE THE NAZIS USED WHEN ACCUSED OF WAR CRIMES. WE JUST FOLLOWED ORDERS. IN A VIDEO ON HERE THEY ASK A US MARINE GUY IF HE WOULD TAKE GUNS AWAY FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS. HE SAID NO, WE WOULDNT DO THAT. THE REPORTER SAID WHAT IF YOU WERE ORDERED TO DO IT, WOULD TO REFUSE? HE SAID, MARINES FOLLOW ORDERS. I SAY..........STAY OUT OF THE MILITARY
what an incredibly enlightening vid this is. i was channel surfing one night and saw little bits of this on pbs and felt sick after watching it. i always knew we spent a ton on weopons and defense, but i didnt know that sometimes it helps dictate our foreign policy. Horrible.
on a lighter, more immature note, that guy who was goint to join the army looked a little like Spock to me
All this is complicated multi-level deception spanning many decades of modern US/World history. In the center you have greedy financial interests of US and international bankers.
Average people are simply paid slaves who, however, can not buy anything from iPod to house without credit or loan. Average people are lied to about everything all the time!
I dont know where you start fixing things. But I believe we are approaching some culminating point. Something big is coming.
"I don't know why we fight. We do what we're told." That has to be one of the despicable lines to come out of an American's mouth. It's one thing to follow orders that you do not like. For example, cleaning the dishes. But it is quite another to follow orders blindly. For example, going to war without a Declaration of War as it is stated in the Constitution of these United States. Did the Nuremberg Trials not prove that 'following orders' was not sufficient enough to be innocent?
@Tasadaru Troops know what lawful and unlawful orders are. Other than that you do what you're told. Do you think it would help if he understand perfectly "Why" he's there? He has to do it anyway whether he supports it or not. That's civilian control over the military. Do you think the U.S. was really in direct danger during WWII? No. Hell no. Why did we go? Similar reasons we fight today.
@MrJimshot1990 You're a tool. Of course America acted in self interest in end of WWII, that's the only reason it lifted a finger. Nazi's like Walt Disney didn't want involvement. But others could see WWII was ruining trade partners. The US waited until Europe had spend itself fighting the Nazis but fallen just short of victory, then stepped in with a material advantage because of the war, cleaned up & started bragging they saved the world. US empire still has a base in Germany 2day.
