Iraq - If You're Reading This - Tim McGraw

[darrenmaccann1]

I wish to say to all the troops sent abroad I hope you all come home safe and sound. I do not agree with the Iraqi war - but I understand the hope of peace and the fact you are willing to risk your lives for that makes me totally respect you. Thank you to a certain Youtuber/US military man for writing me and opening my eyes to the TRUE purpose of this video. God Bless your troops and their families. Hopefully home is not that far away now...

[Yenearsira]

@darrenmaccann1 Any photo with people in a line, smiling at you, is staged. Don't be so bitter.

[Yenearsira]

@darrenmaccann1 I'm sorry you feel that way and do not approve of the pictures I chose for the video. Hopefully you will not watch it again as I would not want to cause you anymore discomfort.

[whatanightmare1]

@Yenearsira Beautiful video...my husband has been there for several years, working in the hospitals...he has taken care of many injured. He has seen things that no one should have to see, but he believes in his fellow man. Thank you for posting this, I miss him and sometimes I need a reminder of why he is there. Be blessed,

[want2bealone]

I got a question for some questions for everyone in this video. I need you guys to answer seriously. I will provide my answers. Ever wonder why American troops are in Iraq? Ever since the war agains't Iraq, America had a pemanent station there. Oil became easier to get and that they're near Seria and Iran which are countries full of oil. Is there really a war? No I don't think so, because if they leave, what could happen? Iraqis flying to the US and bombing them?

[ThatAverageMike]

@want2bealone If you want to be alone then go be by yourself and turn off the internet. We all know the Oil was a big part of the war in Iraq dumbass, its public knowledge but that does not mean we should not support our troops over there. I think you need to do some studying on a thing called common sense.

No one wants to listen to you and you Want2BeAlone so go do that and we both win.

[want2bealone]

@ThatAverageMike Okay, here's a question for you for you, my friend. Why are US troops still in the middle east? I don't get why they would decide to still be there if they hate it so much. I would like for the US troops to get out of there and let them decide their fate. If another country there invades another, let the UN troops intervene.

[Warlord513]

My brother just got shipped to Kuwait..He is my best friend and my father figure. My father never has really cared so much. Because of fucking Obama him and his men might be getting re ordered to Afghanistan. I'm scared i dont want him to go there. He also just had a baby son. He only got to spend 5 days with him before he was sent back overseas for the second time. Its tough shit

[eddiescherrleader]

im 13 and my brother is getting shipped out in september i really dont want him to go im so scared for him to leave soo plaese pray for him

[RobynsAngels]

I attended the funeral yesterday for a local soldier from the 82nd Airborne that died the day after Christmas. His vehicle was hit by an IED in Afghan. The way our community came together for his family & to support our Military was amazing. Very powerful service, and this song was played along with Toby Keith's "American Soldier". So sad and REAL. The cost(s) of war slapped us in the face this week. GOD BLESS JASON JOHNSTON & RIP. God Speed. He is our HERO.

[froggyfred75]

@RobynsAngels I lost a few friends,fellow soldiers, and I attended several funerals. I had to hand the flag to my friend's wife and kids. That was the hardest day of my life. I am so sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers and yes God Bless your friend Jason and may he RIP. God bless all the soldiers. I am a disabled veteran now but always a soldier in my heart. All our soldiers are heroes arent they? I am proud of all of them. Again, I am so very sorry. - Sgt. Davis Ret.

[RobynsAngels]

@froggyfred75 Thank you Sgt. Davis. It's been very sobering. Yes, all of our soldiers are HEROS. I thank YOU for your past service. My husband is an Army Veteran as well, very proud & a soldier at heart forever. My father, father-in-law, and brother as well. We have 2 cousins in Iraq right now. God Bless all of our men and women in uniform-past, present & future. I am so sorry for your losses, too. God Bless you & yours....

[froggyfred75]

Thank you for this video. Perception is everything. I'm thankful there are those out there who feel for ALL humans. Not just people like themselves.  It gives me hope. I leave for Army basic training May 27th. Peace on earth.

[akbeader731]

[popeyesavera]

Ilost my fuckin' job for a big fuckin' pussy, you know what I mean ? fuckin'pussies and fuckin' big butts make man do crazy shit...

One fuckin' day, you'll understand sista !

God fuckin' bless ya !

[Yenearsira]

lol Well then. Shit happens and all that jazz. lol Is 'fuckin' like... your word... or something?

[popeyesavera]

what's up ! Excuse my fuckin' language sista..

I have been raised like a fuckin' savage beast..

I grew up with my fuckin' grand mother and this bitch used to drink untill her fuckin' death..

My father has been executed for 2 fuckin' homicides in '95 and my fuckin' step mother died of fuckin' drugs abuse...

You fuckin' understand now why I have been a fuckin' good marine...I had a fuckin' good profile to join US army !

[Yenearsira]

Wow. Sad life. Marines, huh? Thought you were a sailor. XP But yeah, I don't care if you cuss a lot, was just asking if that was your word. haha

[popeyesavera]

My fuckin' old man used to sell drugs to those black dudes....When I was a fuckin' teenager, the best whores were black chicks, with my crew we used to fuck them all in da fuckin' ass......excuse my poetry......Before bein' a fuckin' sailor, I was a fuckin' marine..there is only one fuckin' difference : a sailor have to pay his fuckin' prostitute !

[Firestar5277]

@Yenearsira marines spend alot of time on ships.

[dcFaddy]

@Yenearsira sailors dont even talk like that haha.

[want2bealone]

@popeyesavera God damn you're an idiot. You one of the people in the US who does whatever you're told because you think it's right. Do some studying, some investigation, and don't let anyone brainwash you just because they said so. I guess that's what the people of the US should do. Learn what your government is hiding from you. Everyone knows why the US army is in Iraq, they're not there for the terrorist, they're there for the God forsaking oil. Sincerely, Thatawesomedude :D
