@sgreenb07 You are an extremely deluded person if you think that anyone there popped their head out of a trench or shot another human being for that right. Even the fight for democracy or fascism quickly faded away after you murdered someones brother just to look around and see that someone had done the same to yours.
Breathing is easier here ,be sure of that ,you did the right choice,and forget about the medias,the frenchies are still thankfull!You are still and for ever the welcome here!
i cant believe there is still wars. if they would try force me to go to war i would refuse, i wouldent do it. im not a coward but What has WARS ever solved? the only ones that i see today being in war all the time is the power greedy USA that makes up shit reasons to start invading other countries. like 9/11 for example. They feed you lies through tv to make you believe its "al qaida" who dropped the towers, and "Al qaida" is made up by the usa themselves.violence only creates more violence..
@Skandalos just because you are to blind and cant see it, check it up urself before you come on here saying im a craphead when you havent made any research on ur own. Watch zeitgeist and learn how the world truly works right now. or are you just one of those other sheeps watching the news believing everything? oh maybe u should look at fukushima, they said first: its alllllll fineeeeee. a while later : FUUUUUUUCK MELTDOWN. The world can never change into the better because of people like you tho
@werexz you wouldnt even notice how youre being retardified by the media if they would print "read bullcrap here!" in mega bold letters on the front page.
@Skandalos hahah are you seriously fkin retarded? i just told you that the news cant be trusted and told you to watch zeitgeist and you think im stupid.. Zeitgeist tells us truly how the world is and works today and how it could be if we just stand up and do something about it. are you just some kid trying to annoy people on the net or what? ive nothing more to say, it seems you dont understand what im writing anyway
@travisihs08 "osama" is made up by the us, someone to blame for the attack on the towers just so that they could invade that country, everyone knows this, they said they found the ID card or some shit in the rubble of the world trade center to one of the terrorists, ohhh rly? and u all bought that?
Oh YES OF COURSE ITS THE AMEIRCAN FLAG WE ALL KNOW THAT THE RUSSIANS ONLY LOST 20MILLION SOLDIERS THE BRITISH DID MOST FIGHTING IN NORTH AFRUCA AND SUNK THE BISMARCK-sorry caps still the us Helped but the russsians lost SO many men/woman and the brits hade a HUGE role
just stay in kentucky and play with your guitars like youve been doing for the past 11 years... as long as you have little or no influence on people I really dont care what you think... im usually pretty open for discussion, but some who is as close-minded as you isn't even worth another response past this. knowing you your gonna wanna have the last say... lol please... go ahead.
William, Thank for fighting for our country!!! Its ashame we are losing good vets due age! God bless you!!!!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!
war crime??? shooting POW ... so basically this veteran can still be prosecuted for his crime? if he was a german... then off course... war brings out the worst in people....and the winner is always right..... mankind is at its best when its about destroying.... we call ourselfs humane...no greater threath to earth then us.... sad
As an American I highly rrespect and pay honor to this man and others who fought in WWII and all wars for our country who fought for our freedom so I can enjoy the things I have in my life today. If it were me I might of kept the killing of the Nazi SS troppers to myself. Some things are better left untold about. But with wartme everything changes, there are no rules, I dont think for a second that the Germans would of and did kill Americans in as many ways as they could.
Well, I used to. But I came to terms with it. No one ever said "Kill Only Allemein-SS because they are the ones commiting the atrocities, not the Waffen SS... as a matter of fact... ask him before you shoot him cause he won't lie about it, I'm sure."
In addition to this, they teach you to shoot the uniform, not the man. But because ppl have trouble with even this, they dehumanize the enemy with terms like Jap or Kraut. And from personal experience, when someone shoots at u, it feels personal.
Say what you want, it's still against the law. I'm sure a man who rapied a woman during wartime as all kind of excuses for his past behavior, but he's still a rapist. And that old man, regardless of his service, is still a murderer. If you're unhappy with this, try to change the law or move to some barbaric country where shit like that isn't looked down upon.
Already am... our Military along with it's supporting agencies is responsible for the current political strife aimed at the US. Beginning with the war on Native people, my people. The Spanish-American war, the overthrow of the democratic government in Guatemala back in the 1940s. We trained Saddam, Osama and so on, and so on. So by the same rationale, why don't you move to Lithuania, Switzerland or Costa Rica, where ppl look down the length of their nose upon this stuff.
Caca....My grandfather served in Korea....My dad-Vietnam.... they all said the same thing to me.... the things they saw they didnt want to ever see again... they dont want to see anyone go through what they went through... War is the worst possible thing to happen to man kind.. One thing my father told me was that if theres a war and theres NO possible way around it... you go in as smart and as deadly as possible... get it over with as quick as possible...because war is pure hell.
War brings out the worst of mankind... In war...there is no law. I don't wish to provoke you or anything like that... its just that war has no bounds of evil and tragedy. War is an enabler of the darkest of thoughts... it takes families, it takes souls out of the body... it destroys... Wars shouldnt even be an option in resolving differences... but sadly.. its there...
plus he doesn't say with certainy they were SS (10:20). and people confused the Waffen-SS with the Allemein-SS, which commited most of the Nazi atrocities. the SS was more complex than Hollywood makes it to be. the Waffen-SS was a frontline organization,mostly comprised of elite veterans. Most of the atrocities they have been accused of are the killing of POWs. kinda of ironic that this man did just the same. i respect servicemen a lot, but i can't bring myself to justify actions like these.
rules of war, police action, kills the good instead of the evil in war..
fuck you...CacaLauncher23 (2 weeks ago) What do we have today ass.. ww2 is the best way to fight war, when a nation starts war on free people, and the world has to save them, it sould be total war without mercy until surrender.. Then is when you talk about the right way to rebuild japan and germany etc..
i agree it's wrong but honestly after going through that beach invasion out of sheer rage and adrenelin i would most likely kill every german on the shore i encountered, arms in the air, white flags or not. hard to judge unless you're there. but i understand your sentiment, war is horrible.
Deepest respect to all the allied veterans in WW2. If it wasn't for them, probably all of Europe would have talked German by now.... So, they made Europe and a big part of the rest of the world a better place to live in. God bless you all.
So, these guys just assisted in killing thousands of your friends with no remorse, spit in your face and probably laughed about it.
Go to war with your best friend and watch his body get blown in half then let me know how civil you can treat the enemy when they spit in your face and laugh about it.
@daninspokane I have to tell you something to open your eyes Respect your enemy and he should respect youcus if you dont respect your enemy you already lost its not about being civil its respect. if your enemy kill your friend well thats war what do you expect but if he treats you like that you win u beat him but dont stoop to his lvl respect him understand himthen beat himdone become blind to rage cus if u kill him in a blind rage and brutally his friend will do the same and the cycle gose on
Hes not calling himself a hero, he sharing what happened. They went through hell saw close friends be slaughterd in terrible ways and you expect them to be all jolly when they come across Germans. Show some respect, if you where there im pretty sure your tune would change
like LUDKN I'm from Belgium and I'm greatfull to all those soldiers/ veterans for my freedom today, without them who knows.... Those veterans of WW are admired in all the world because they fought for a real cause: freddom of mankind, not like in Vietnam, Korea or Iraq
so your saying as long as they fight for the freedom of europe it's ok.But when america fights to save korea or the vietnamese from communists(1 million of which died to communists after we left) it's not ok.you are an uninformed miseducated hypocrite.Not to mention saddam killed 240,000 of his own people.But we only have legitamcy in saving europeans....racist that's what you are.
agreed. i don't agree with the vietnam war or iraq for that matter, but i also don't believe it's exactly as the far left says. regardless, our soldiers serve and follow orders and sacrifice themselves and they deserve respect (when they act worthy of respect at least.
just like LUDKN I'm from Belgium and I'm greatfull to all those soldiers for my freedom today. They are admired in all the world because it was a war with a real cause: freedom of mankind, not like in vietnam, korea or iraq
I love guys like these. Damn good men. True Americans and patriots.
