Troops Get Pep Talk as Battle for Marjah Gets Underway in Afghanistan

[2011SammyBoy]

SEMPER FI!!

[aviomaster]

Russian Federation China Iran should send weapons to brave Afgani people .

[MuslimApostate]

@aviomaster why? They're just as imperialist as any western nation. If they do its only to use afghans as cannon fodder no different then during the soviet era.

[MuslimApostate]

@aviomaster and btw afghanis have been fighting along with the chechens in there homeland for yrs and are the biggest outside supporters of a chechen islamic caliphate in the caucasus. So uh...........yeah.

[GitzMeShiggles17]

I support the troops. I DON'T support the war. Although I, and many other people, want those terrorists gone, I don't think we are there for the right reasons. The government is there for oil. The troops just follow the orders so don't hate them for what they are doing.

[shuttingdownhate]

hoooraaah!!!

i stand by any american to rid this world of a fucked up dessert dog group who do nothing but hide in there little mountain huts praising some cunt called allah, i back any american on this and cannot wait for the victory that has been comming for 8 years, funny how half the world get angry at americans for invading "afghanihole" and treat the basterds like there the victim. who put those plans into those towers? think people....think.

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

You are so foolish to curse God. You are cursing the Arabic word that even Arab Christians use to refer to the Most High. You will pay for your vulgarity one day, we all die and return to our creator.

Such filthy, uneducated rats you all are. Descendants of barbaric saxon criminals & Irish peasants with no culture or proper upbringing. Makes me cringe.

[cometin6968]

I dont kare what people say about North America, cause usa is not AMERICA!, and this war is going no were, but we need to have respect for those soldiers who are facing a "ghost enemy", i wish them good luck to all of them.

[mlucky99]

God Bless boys and girls.  Kill them all.

[firefightntx]

@FREEDOM4AFGHANSTAN

You miss the point. For over 200 years, Americans have stepped up and answered their call to duty. In combat, Soldiers and Marines fight to protect one another not for imperialism. They accept their mission and get it done. They don't have the luxury to sit in comfort and discuss the topic like you do.

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

@firefightntx

What makes you assume I live in comfort the way you do? I was born in the middle of one of the bloodiest wars in recent history. I spent the first year of my life in a communist prison camp. You know nothing about me you faggot.

Your soldiers don't fight for themselves, they are sent off to wars they know nothing about, willingly. By fat jews & corrupt politicians. The American hero's are the ones back home protesting these illegal invasions and protecting your constitution.

[redbrest]

@FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN

Our soldiers join to improve there lives and protect there family's. Id much rather see the fighting going on there than hear in the Uur Our soldiers are the best. Doing what they are supposed to do. Following the orders of the commander-in-chief. Elected by us.

WE , The people of the United States are responsible for this.

And We Will Finish It.

Go USMC,Army,Navy, Airforce KICK SOME BEHIND!!!

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

LOL

what the hell are you talking about, you are so damn stupid. Not even going to respond to any of your childish points. 52 years old? You should be ashamed of yourself.

[shockolanu]

@redbrest:

Don't be moronic, your soldiers kill civilians and sometimes, I think they do it for fun.

They are not improving they lives nor the living standards, they are destroying cities and homes.

You, the people of US are responsible for this and you should be ashamed for such behavior.

Afghanistan has a very big army and it will be able to fight the Taliban without your "help". Let them deal with the insurgents, at least, this way, your cowardly soldiers will not shoot unarmed civilians.

[stratassassin]

no they would not be able to do it themselves, especially since most of them are drugged up,

those people that do are a shame,

but most units over there have good intentions, but its war, innocent die

[shockolanu]

@stratassassin:

Let's be honest, what you say about the Afghan troops is pure speculation. In the same manner, I can speculate the fact that I heard that US troops are getting drugs too, drugs that make them more agile but at the same time fucks up their minds.

Bottom line... your country has 21 cent equipment but wages war like in medieval times. This is not a joke, it's my sincere opinion. I went to no military school but I can think of 10 ways to defeat the Taliban in one week.

[stratassassin]

thats true,

what ways can we beat the taliban?

[shockolanu]

Think for yourselves or pay me a truckload of money to tell you how to do it.

[brendawub01]

I believe the only way to beat the Taliban is to get the support of the natives...so that they can trust us with the Taliban known locations....unfortunately civilians live in fear controlled by the Taliban.

[stratassassin]

um, thats what we have been tryin to do,

[brendawub01]

stratassassin-I know but i'm sure it will take a while before we can accomplish that...it just makes it hard when people don't want to take the help and see us as the enemy.

[shockolanu]

@stratassassin:

Try harder, from here it looks like you are there practicing target with civilian targets.

[stratassassin]

they are tryin harder, im pretty sure well be there for many years to come,

but dont worry,

it wont affect you

[shockolanu]

1. You believe but you don't think.

2. The natives will never support you because you kill innocents.

3. The Taliban known locations are known.

4. The same civilians that fear Taliban fear your troops too.

5. The Afghan army can't handle Taliban, you can't handle them either.

6. I think you are confounding Taliban with your troops who destroyed homes.

7. You have no control either so stop pretending.

8. What difference, killing 20 taliban and 15 civilians??

[brendawub01]

Ok so since YOU have no military experience, but you claim to know how to defeat the Taliban you must be one...or a close supporter, & i can already tell your NOT AMERICAN, The difference between an American who kills an innocent Civilian and a Taliban is a great difference! We don't intentionally kill our own people at war. & We don't mean to destroy homes! Its part of war & life! People chose to live in fear of the Taliban-We are trying to change that for them!DEMOCRACY!

[farhan007]

@shockolanu

1. Your opinion is not worth while since you havent visited Marjah

2. In the 6 months our unit has been in Marjah there have been four civilian deaths in Marjah due to NATO forces... times that number by atleast 5 and you got the civilian deaths caused by the Taliban.

3. What?

4. No, The civilian population fears change. They were used to a set life even if they knew it was harsh on them. Propaganda from the Taliban makes them fear change.

[farhan007]

@shockolanu

5. 17 Marines in my unit during our 6 months there. Times that number by 10 and you probably have a rough estimate of the number of insurgent fighters that were killed.

6. Again, were you personally there to see the fight? Did you know how strict our roe was. How we almost always got denied air support because there was a damn building in a 100 meter radius? The Taliban did not care. They would launch their rpgs at any direction no matter what the potential damage could result in

[farhan007]

@shockolanu

7. we have set a base for the village and only the people can decide what to do with it.

8. If 15 civilians died per 20 Taliban then half of the 80,000 people in Marjah would be dead. Again pulling numbers from your ass.

[shockolanu]

9. Freedom of Speech is not an American comfort. You should be ashamed of yourself.

10. I disrespect you because that's what you deserve, if you would have earned my respect, you would have had it.

11. I owe my freedom to nobody except to myself and to the Romanian Revolutionaries who died for me, overthrowing Ceausescu.

12. Earn respect before you ask for it.

13. Bring freedom before you consider that anyone owes you for having freedom.

[farhan007]

@shockolanu

its as if your respect means any weight to a U.S. Marine

[farhan007]

@shockolanu

9. okay?

10. I don't think any Marine would care if you respect them or not. I know what i did there. You don't. I physically saw with my own eyes schools being built there that finally allowed little girls their education. Tell me something that you helped do that was more significant in your life?

[farhan007]

@shockolanu

11. good for you

12. I don't ask for it and majority of Marines don't either... they bleed for it. And they know that plenty of American civilians respect them for it. No need for a foreigner to understand.

13. huh?

[shockolanu]

@farhan007

Hmmm?

[brendawub01]

Oh and one more thing! You should be ASHAMED cause you're the one sitting on your ass talking shi* on American soldiers while we actually take a part and try to make a difference!You probably enjoy the American comforts such as freedom of speech obviously but you also have the nerve to disrespect us! THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU OFFEND THOSE YOU OWE YOUR FREEDOM TO! Reguardless of your nationality.

[brendawub01]

"Shockolanu"-It's more than obvious that Afganistans' army can not handle the Taliban without "help"...because if they could there would not be starving children in concentration camps who have lost there homes to the distruction of the Taliban that invade there towns/homes...there wouldn't be people hung or women stoned to death because of assumptions that they have commited a crime. So much for the Afgan Army having control on there own with the need of no help!

[firefightntx]

@Fredom4afganistan

What makes you assume I'm a "faggot" the way you do. So you believe because you were born into those circumstances, you are the expert in the US military? Do you still live in a communist country? If you don't, on behalf of the US military/government, you're welcome. The US did it'spart in assiting other countries defeat communism.

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

No you idiot, the CIA were in Afghanistan since the 70's masterminding the Soviet invasion. You need to do some more research on "Operation Cyclone" "The Mujahideen Textbook Project" and the Cold War in general. You can thank Afghan's for helping you criminals defeat the communists. We were used as bate.

[firefightntx]

@FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN

Ok, now you're sounding like a whacko. You should not paint all Americans with a broad brush. How about some of the good we have done and are doing for the others. Example-North Korea, who do you think provides the largest amount of emergency food for this ass backwards, communist country that starves it's own people? You guessed it, the USA. Wow, how evil of the USA to feed millions of starving people. Stand proud my fellow Americans!

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

I don't hate all Americans. Like I said, you live in an oligarchy and are not responsible for the actions of the CIA or your military. Unfortunately however, a lot of American people are brainwashed fools. You don't have to "hate" someone to call them an idiot

[Patty1917]

Get some Marines! Kill all those fuckers!!!!!!!!

[ZaphedBeebleBrox]

I think the military engagement is not going to bring forward western ideals and capitalism into the mental east. I believe all american efforts are futile. You cannot fight ideologies. wake up.

[tmarsh6]

@ZaphedBeebleBrox no but we can fight fuckers who bomb and shoot us. fuck u

[DHAZ14]

good luck to 3/6. 2/6 and 1/8 will be right behind u soon

[yourtube0957]

Oorah!!

Be 3/6 HARD!!!

[pastorg22]

Gods Speed American Soldiers!

The Grace of God be with you.

In Jesus name.Amen

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

Do people in America realize your government is backing a minority group in an ethnic civil war? A minority group who is taking it's revenge for an absence of significance in our entire history, they are slaves who with America's help are now killing there slave masters (in a non literal sense). Of course they will do anything you say including accepting your culture & ideals.

[tmarsh6]

@FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN i could care less y they do it. help is help. all i know is theyre helpin the marines kill the taliban who are killing civilians and tryin 2 kill our troops. so fuck u. hooorahh

[Mojo1982]

Good luck, I've read this will be the biggest battle the Marines have fought since Fallujah. The fighting is going to be intense. Its good too see the ANA figting alongside the Coalition Forces.

[Austinjoke]

It sure is good to see the ANA fighting with our guys. There's nothing better than U.S. troops beating the bad guys....thats what we've been doing for 200 years!

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

ARE YOU FKING KIDDING?

US Troops have been fighting the bad guys for 200 years?

Oh my God, if that isn't the most biased BS I have ever read on youtube.

Most Americans try to hide from the last 200 years of your countries evil imperialism and the process of building 800+ US military bases, you just flat out lie.

I like your style.

[actonbath]

@FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN

Besides an imbecile what else are you? A truther? A HAARP caused the Haiti earthquake conspiracy nutjob? Did Bush blow up the Twin Towers? C'mon ..let it out..

You should just shut up and go kill some Marines ..you know ...them guys that never fought for freedom in your miniscule mind....I know, how about go stand in front of some IDF bulldozers in Gaza...c'mon be a real man, real men don't have to fire bullets..just their mouth.

Go to Marjah you can solve this..ok?

[bush1tman]

You're kinda nutty pal. Take a chill pill

[bush1tman]

This isn't a battle. This is a police action and will either do nothing and get a few of our guys killed or will do alot and get alot of the bad guys killed and civilians. Bullshit.

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

EXACTLY! Someone with some damn sense.

The Russians fought battles like this on a weekly basis for 10 years, they finally left crying to there mammochka's. Some US troops will be killed, some resistance fighters will stay behind and be killed. MANY CIVILIANS WILL DIE and when this fight is over and the Americans retract the Taliban will come right back.

This is all bullshit propaganda, 10,000 heavily armed troops to take on a couple hundred poorly equipped Taliban fighters, what a laugh.

[bush1tman]

I don't think people realise that this isn't a war if our soldiers are told to shoot at the bad guy but don't shoot the civilian standing in the same doorway or alley or street. I heard an American commander telling something similar to a group of soldiers on a YT vid. I'm not sure what we should do because I don't have the background but I I'd rather see us (the USA) out of there than to fight like that. It's a definite fail

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

The US isn't going anywhere. Don't you see, you live in an oligarchy. Your constitution is nothing but a dusty artifact. America has over 800 military bases around the world. You are imperialists who are trying to dominate the world and unless you speak up you are a supporter of this terror.

I love 10% of Americans, it's just that 90% of you are completely brainwashed. You have lost all sense of right & wrong.

[bush1tman]

I agree that the US isn't leaving Afghanistan. But not for the reasons you give. It is because Obama commited to Afghanistan in the Presidential debates and he needs a war now to look acceptably hawkish and unlike the total cunt that he is. Alot of countries are trying to dominate the world (i.e.trade) and America has been in the lead since WW2 trying to protect our (and western) interests but no more. That is about over. Americans aren't brainwashed. We are too spoiled but not bad people

[RomanicusMaximus]

One Term President

[RomanicusMaximus]

The American Constitution is the envy of Worlwide. We are affording rights to our mortal enemies. The American Constitution is the reason we are free today, is the reason we allow you to trash the one we precious the most, even when you are here in US and you enjoy the protection of the Constitution you so much hate. You hate us cuz we are free, strong and dominating in our beliefs, and you are nothing but a powerless piece of shit.

[FREEDOM4AFGHANISTAN]

First of, you are having issues with your own grammar so I'm guessing you're poorly educated. Secondly, the American constitution isn't the envy of anyone. It is a well known fact that many points in the constitution were derived from Thomas Jefferson's Holy Bible & Holy Quran. Finally, if Thomas Jefferson were alive today he'd brand the average American as a traitor. I won't go on quoting him, but anyone with half a brain can see where I'm going with this.

Kirin used to be so beautiful. Now at CNN they are applying her makeup with a spatula. Such a shame (sigh).
