US soldiers resist the war in Iraq - 08 Oct 2008

[ScotteDio]

Coward should be shot!

[siryouzver]

the truth is that all american cowards that kill people in Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and many other countries, cannot tell you that to walk against yourself to kiss a banker's ass (they order wars) is a real cowardice. and remember how veterans of Vietnam or Iraq are treated often: they are homeless.

And those millions who died many thousands kilometers from the Democracy in their own country - they died because of cowards who cannot tell "fuck you" to their master.(

[SAJJ28]

Thank God for good descent true resistant soldiers like this who do not roll over and bark like most rednecks.

[totoynani143]

Do this people even know the meaning of VETERAN? U are a fucking Deserter(AWOL) that means u did not finish u'r Obligation(contract)= not a veteran,Dumb ASS! do you call soldiers that are still in a veteran?

[xSwaggaxVersace]

yea dude u had the right to speak out but u signed a contract and freedoms not free and why the hell are u infantry if u can't handle it just change ur mos and be a pog on a desk fucking bitch boy deserter u left ur men out there without a head nco and now u risk they're lives u god damn coward

[88pecos]

bet you are proud that they had to deploy your troops with a new sgt. into a war zone. you blue falcon

[IdahoAngler2]

The funniest part is that this was broadcast in Al Jazeera!!! Even better, some retards actually believe Al Jazeera as independent, free thought! I have spent time in Jordan & Saudi Arabia & know 100% bullcrap when I see it, it's probably on Al Jazeera!!! Weeeeeeee way to go! Keep telling the general Muslim population that the us soldiers were sent there to only rape muslim women, I'm sure you'll find a few morons who actually believe it, probably on YouTube too!!! Lol

[Mathenaut]

@IdahoAngler2

I don't like it, so it must be crap!

Makes sense.

[gary83uk]

Why sign up for the army if you are going to complain when you get deployed - idiot.

[Mentallyawake568]

what a fucking coward. 

[funus0888]

Lol, there the army pussies. USMC all da way :P

[myYTwashackedbyanoob]

fucking pussies they all need to be shot you signed up for that shit ..

[xSwaggaxVersace]

@myYTwashackedbyanoob truth be told man they're should be a rule if someones gonna be a pussy and go awol ok u can go but u get ur own ride back home and u get a bullet to the kneecap u fucking pussy and everytime u feel it ache it will be a reminder of ur cowardice decision for the rest of your life

[morrighan4u]

respect for this soldier for speaking his own mind and doing the right thing!

[ctrlaltdlt01]

the military is just the arm that does the grabbing and pushing of the politicians. Its always been that way. I'd love to serve my country to make it a better place or defend it, but in 2003 when I was going to enlist I knew the cause of the war was a lie, and what good would it be to go and fight a war that is not only questionable in purpose but also against an enemy that cant be destroyed with weapons?

[futbolangel02]

@ctrlaltdlt01 Scarey part is when you get out there and find out YOU are the enemy. I know my heart was broken when I found out that U.S. was the enemy...I don't know if I'll ever feel safe again.

[Bird4111]

Yeah I mean I had fuckin "Young soldiers tell me they don't see why were fighting"

then why the hell did you join you fucking joined. no one made you do shit.

[konstantine3]

so does that mean no matter what is asked of us we must do? whether right or wrong? you're right, no one made us join but there is a difference between a war of choice and a war of necessity. It's called common sense, not blind following of anything you are told.

[clavie05]

More than 1 million innocents had dead in Iraq by USA !!!

[Nikosellas1]

This is why Timonthy Mcvey bombed Oklahoma..it is not right but how does it feel when innocent die in the uSA

[looknfortruth]

was mcvey not a proven cia operative

[MsCuriousCat]

I know you guys is going to hate me for saying this but he's right, America are born killers and they take other people land. America had dont so many bad things and those that respond to this I know you agree to kill and take what you want even it's not yours in the first place. On that note Im not going to open and read anything you say. America give others to kill like they did in Gaza, Irsaelis killed so many babies more than adults, it really hurt my heart for babies to die like that. BYE!

[DuckingNDiving]

remember BESLAN?ByE

[RiSkyBiZ13]

"It would have been easier to shut my mouth and go to Iraq..." than staying in some nice house in Canada? Riiiiiiiiight.

[poinset333]

[utepstudent12]

you gave your word to defend the u..s. you signed that contract. YOU didnot get drafted punkass your no 101st paratrooper infantryman i wouldnt be surprised if you worked in the dfac. ya hearless fuck man up fullfill you contract...oh too late for that. man up and take you punishment for going back on your word you make me sick you fat fuck

[playinragz]

you dont desertt!!!! thats a insult to everyone fighting everyone dying.. bring him back and throw his ass in jail... no its not eqasier for him to fight its easier for him to run. COWARD

[hukeeaboo]

he is a dam mess kit repairman,, you dont question the legality.. .you just do it..you coward

you are heartless..

[SFDAWSON71]

This big fat fuckin scumbag cock sucking turncoat assclown was in the 101st? Bullshit

[anrocfan]

When you join any military service you instantly gave up your rights to have an opinion on whether or not you see a war as right or wrong. You do what your country tells you to do. The President tells you to go fight, then you go fight. you don't like it, don't join any military service.

It's like a doctor who gets paid for his services but one day he decides to just not do it any more because he does not want to. Are you kidding?

[spiderdragon1969]

I'll say the same thing about Iraq that I said about Vietnam - Either nuke the fucking place or get the hell out!!

[Stagnant197]

If you look at the map of Iraq and Iran, contemplate what would have happened to the troops still in the area if Cheney had gotten his war on Iran. The troops would have been totally surrounded within hours, if the Iranians had blocked Hormuz they would all have died there.

It makes me wonder if the people making the political decisions in their comfy DC offices wanted to stage some kind of Stalingrad for their grunts.

Madness...

Luckily it seems the risk of that has passed, for now...

[spiderdragon1969]

All the more reason to leave the middle east to those who live there and let them fix their own problems.

[magnusalexa]

well done man, the best thing he could have ever done. A guy i know is a merchant navy chef over there, cant wait for him to get back and get back into smoking dope

[RenegadeTimes]

Why did these men and women take these jobs ? IMHO they hang on to some very old BS about what war is. War is about MONEY . How many generations will it take to understand that ! Waking to reality late in the game is better than never waking. Brainwashed American's "believe" easily . War = money. Only the military complex and corporations who serve them gain. It's all an illusion and American's buy into it. A chess game -think of the last move and who they serve. America WTFU !

[starmanskye]

All those dissing this soldier for standing on principle and refusing to support a criminal war, insulting him and saying he should be imprisoned or shot, are FAKE Americans -- you don't have a CLUE what the soldiers first obligation is, its to his nation and the constitution. If you had a lick of sense you'd understand the issue. Should every soldier always obey illegal orders? You guys are taking the easy cop-out path, rationalizing service in an immoral, criminal war targetting civilians.

[Blacklung27]

What a bitch. He joined for a free ride in peace time and when it got real he shit himself and ran away. Fuck he was only in kuwait. And he was maintenance they sit on thier ass and fix stuff. what a bitch

[c8192m]

Hell if he wanted to get out so bad, he should have dropped to his knees and un-buttoned the Bn Cdr's fly..... He would've gotta his ticket home soon enough! What a pussy!! Shoot the son-of-bitch. Retired SGM

[FNSCAR0890]

This guys is a walking contradiction.."The war is wrong so im going to become a deserter and break the law". Think about the sergeant, where would you be now if you had just mustered the personal courge to do your fucking job? Probably in the US enjoying your life jus a little more than you are in leaf land. Good Job, you pissed on the NCO creed you fucking prick.

[bofts]

Fucking pussy

You signed the line now do the time

[Ishbu101]

This is cool but come on...join the military and refuse to fight? Its good you have a conscience but you know we'd be going back to Iraq.

[Donjuan241]

Send his ass to the brig. You were in Kuwait for crying out loud! Getting combat pay for nothing.

-JNav, USMC 2003-2007 (3x OIF vet)

[luvmyctd]

The soldiers that stand up to tell the truth about and resist this illegal Iraq war are far more courageous than most could ever dream of. Good luck with your fight against the brain-washed illiterates that will likely never even try to understand.

[mastainventa]

they want the pay check but dont want the work they should be made to pay every penny back and they should be put on display as the traitors they are. ill tell you what fuck off and join the talaban you coward shit bag. if i saw him id show him war cos he is the enimy he is a traitor

[mastainventa]

ppl like this traitor need to be locked up. ill tell you why he dont like the war he is a fucking coward and a traitor. lock the fucking shit bag up. he is a disgrace to america. the uk and the rest of the world

[Dhaune]

now tell me how can be killing of people legal, its simply war thats what war is, its got nothing to do with legal or illegal, those pricks are just scared fucking pussies

[JoIdPe1962]

It would be nice if China invades the USA. Then the US military can actually fight real troops for a change and not just women and children as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan !

Good to see a brave and intelligent soldier here !

[HIRAMFETT]

Fuck off ass hole ! I wished those little yellow mother fuckers would attack , I would stack them up like sand bags !

[KhmerTruth]

Don't you have things like paying off bills and your mortgage off quickly before you go live in the street to worry about before killing yellow people?

[HIRAMFETT]

what you said makes no since at all .

[KhmerTruth]

You are a little slow, ain't you? And, it's not "since" it's "sense."

[HIRAMFETT]

Ain,t not a word , you commie FUCK STICK !

[KhmerTruth]

"Ain,t" isn't a word but "ain't" is. Learn to spell, you sorry excuse of an illiterate native speaker. Speak or write your native language properly first if you want to talk trash to others.

[Templasaur]

The part that gets me is when he talks about the soldiers that were under him.

"You're not going to make me go out on a convoy and get me all shot up are you?"

A person can call themself a soldier, then say things such as that? I don't doubt that there are people in the military that are afraid of getting shot and killed, but to ask their commanding officers not to send them out for that reason? Wow. REALLY!?

[thejaydoh]

heeyyyy, we finally have someone who realizes their not the good guys, hurrayyyy

[EdHardyKid15]

BUFFALO,ROCHESTER ALL DAY

[radiocontrol666]

F* Voices,Voices,Voices, the war is over Voices. Class Antoagonism is structured though Voices, Voices,Voices. It comes from Television Sattelite Dishes and Antennas. They should NUKE local brodcasts. Can you believe it's that SIMPLE? Voices,Voices,Voices.

[DaOn3ndOnly]

they say god bless u.s.a but u kno what god left that place a LONG time ago.......candan is at tha pefect spot but we are not with the right ppl i be happy if EU would be south cuz they think like us we dont belive in wars we are peace makers but our own are gettin killed fo what not for freedom or nuttin we are jus sendin troops out to die fo a illegi war man i hate us

[DrewDawg50]

I hope the worst for the states, because that's what it'll take to make them stop being lazy and stupid. Right now the citizens are little bitches that believe whatever they are told. Fuck them.

I hope the chinese invade. Then, maybe the US citizens won't abuse their military and will start giving a fuck.

[17opp7]

according to the pictures he showed of him in iraq looks like he was having a blast ,and having the time of his life LOL

[PhoenixTears25]

The thing about duty is they taught them something completely different than what they are doing over there, I think they all should quite that would be honorable!! You want to fight for freedom fight your government good start!! Restore the Constitution!! These top globalist are destroying are country and using are soldiers to destroy another!!

[jimitl5]

Those who join are well aware of what their duty is. They have no excuse. If you volunteer you should know and understand the risks and accept the consequences if you don't. When there was a draft many had no choice as I did. You were forced to join. That is an entirely different circumstance.

[starmanskye]

You talk of 'duty' but don't know the first thing about it. A soldier's duty is to his nation & the Constitution. He has a duty to disobey an illegal order -- the Nuremburg Tribunal which the US supported clearly establishes this principle. Why don't you know that? The soldier's code also requires him to refuse illegal orders. You should be asking -- WHY is the military issuing illegal orders? Why hasn't Congress impeached Bush & his top Cabinet for lying the nation into a war based on fraud?

[BrN420]

Y the fuck should he be tossed in jail For not wanting to fight? let him stay in canada DUDE I GOT A open room for you FUCK USA FUCK THEM ALL  canada is A peace loveing country who gets threating by america if we dont listin to them its BS

[royski9]

peace loving? we are killing in afghanistan.

[MsticalPrincess]

BRING THESE GUYS HOME!!!!!!!!!!

This breaks my heart!!!

Get to know Dr. RON PAUL....go to my channel or you tube him.

[15minfame]

No, he is not a coward. Yes, he left his post based on presidential orders given turn out to be lies. Let the world hear many veterans voices as the truth come to the surface. It will surely be a difficult case in court. Many other prior service members took other measures to be released from their standing contracts. Drugs, sexual orientation, and non violent crimes to remove themselves from tour of duty in Iraq.

[dragonracer76]

I was also a SGT in the Army and don't agree with the war. But you don't get a choice in where you get deployed. Duty! Stay in Canada. You are a discrace. Not a veteran, but a coward. You don't deserve to be a citizen. If you wanted a choice in the fights you were sent to fight, you shouldn't have raised your hand.

[JvPaVp]

he raised his hands to fight in Iraq before he knew it was illegal, he was tricked, not forced, into supporting this illegal war. Speak with your brains not your ass.

[Templasaur]

He was not tricked. If he's a 9 year veteran, that means he was in the military before the Iraq war even started. As far as I've been told, you don't realy have a choice as to whether you get shipped to Iraq or Afghanistan.

[starmanskye]

Of course a soldier doesn't get a choice as to where he's deployed. But he DOES have a choice whether he's going to contrinue supporting an illegal, immoral war based on official lies and outright fraud. I commend this soldier and others like him. The military & gung-ho types would have everyone think that a soldier is compelled to follow all orders, thereby making war & killing 'honorable' & conscience-free. But that's WRONG. A soldier's duty is to disobey an illegal order. THAT takes courage.

[HonorPrideDuty]

You Should get what ever the US Military Court Gives you, Yes you are a Coward, plain and simple, you knew what you were signing up to do when you enlisted in the United States Military Service, then you turn your back on The Country, and your fellow Comrades, team, Soldiers, Family, Yes I agree that you are a deserter, a coward !

[123Ivansharpe]

fucking stupid american how many bullets you heard and saw in a battle. if you do not want to shoot human then you shoudl not be make to. that is why i escpae from chechnya

[crrt05]

umm dude ur nothing but a pussy u coward

[cpb20]

These traitors are nothing but cowards, they're scared of what millions of men have to go through. He should be accused of treason.

[123Ivansharpe]

stupid cunt. i think that you have never even seen a battle. in chechnya we would eat idiots like you first so that we can have little peace

[spot603]

This guy should get killed via firing squad. He his a deserter and should die for his actions. I really hope those canadans deport his fat ass back here so he gets what he deserves.

[asbusu]

The whole U.S. involvement in the mideast is about OIL. World War II was a just cause, but the U.S. has gotten itself into a situtation where we have our soldiers fighting and policing other countries and it is all about OIL. The terrorist and our enemies laugh at the U.S. and take joy in the fact that the war is bankrupting the U.S. We call our soldiers heroes. Heroes for what? Heroes for OIL I think. Wake up right wing America a war economy is socialism.

[spot603]

HA shut up u left wing jack ass. Fucking Liberal pussy. Oil Oil Oil. We have taken no oil from Iraq you stupid bitch. You have no fucking Idea what the hell your talking about

[placeyourorder]

actually you have no idea buddy. if its not about the oil, tell me this, why do you think we are not spreading democracy in countries that don't have oil? try to keep your comments civil...

[spot603]

We did set up democratic government. they held their first presidental election a few years ago. Now the rag heads in command thing they can take on the insurgents. They're idiots. W did set up a democracy

[asbusu]

Spot603, after looking at some of your comments on this forum, you are coming across as a real loose cannon. Suggesting we nuke other countries. I didn't say we have taken any oil from Iraq idiot. Read the post!!! You really should take your medication, or take an anger management class or get therapy. Because you are coming across to me as insane!!!

[spot603]

I would do anything to win. you need to wake up. Lets finish the job.

[confidenceishigh]

The reality of it is that there will always be those who support and those who don't. Our great country affords us the oportunity to make this decision. However, how would you really feel if the US just stopped its military intervention (on all levels) across the globe? Are you gonna take that trip abroad with your family? Are you going to still feel safe sleeping at night knowing that nobody has your back? How about your kids?

Yeah...sure you will. War sucks but sometimes it all we have.

[starmanskye]

Absolutely clueless. The US has been waging war on many dozens of nations since WWII, NOT for security but to consolidate power for the financial & ruling elites. The US has killed some 20 million people since, on the most dubious of contrived pretexts -- and you think this has made the world SAFER? Look around, the world is awash in blood and misery. At least take some responsibility for being minimally informed instead of repeating the embellished revisions of Empire's apologist historians.

[7514328]

As a former Marine, I know exactly what you mean. There are terms and articles of warfare. Most people (even military) are not aware of it. My favorite was the 2nd article of warfare. I am an American. Fighting for MY country and OUR way of life. I am prepared to give MY life in its defense. I always believed it is MY country and OUR way of life. Not "theirs". I.E; Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan...Seems the military has been conditioned to think otherwise. Many do not seem to care, too.

[Montana123321]

mate u have points but cmon its not just about money, its about the safety of your country and ours (Britain) and foremost taking out these terroristdevils

[emma9295]

the army is saveing your kids

[beepbob255]

cool neat! visit my profile! D

[hellfiregypsyfinale2]

Don't kill your children. Let the Army do it for you.

[biohazard177]

Fuck you pussy, Cowards run and hide. Marines stay and fight! Disrespectful peice of a shit E-5 you dont deserve to lead U.S. Soldiers.

[Beef0Razor]

Actually, I'm pretty sure some Marines have left for Canada as well... as well as Airmen and Seamen.

[spot603]

and ARMY! Marines are not the only infantry around here.

[snoopyviewz]

I, and millions of rational, INTELLIGENT, and brave US citizens, support this gentleman 100 percent. In fact, the rest of you brainwashed, ignorant jar-heads who are too afraid to question the ol' chain of command should take a lesson here. It's about time you started thinking for yourself. You will pay for your crimes against humanity individually...not as a unit. HUUUuaaaa bitches.

[spot603]

I would pay billions to see Iraq burn, but the US does not do that, so we are trying to build up iraq. If we just droped a few nuclear bombs on iraq I would be fine with that.

[durstwurst]

You are a terrorist.

[placeyourorder]

so standing up and saying what you believe in is an act of terrorism? bringing on an illegal war is terrorism.

i don't see how this guy moving to canada makes him a terrorist. perhaps you should learn what the terrorist means before you accuse people of it.

[spot603]

illegal war??? and I never said he was a terrorist. They brought on the "illegal war".

[durstwurst]

I called spot603 a terrorist for that moronic statement:"I would pay billions to see Iraq burn, but the US does not do that, so we are trying to build up iraq. If we just droped a few nuclear bombs on iraq I would be fine with that."

[spot603]

dont you have some rally for tighter gun control to be at? Liberal

[BroadCastTuber]

...

You sign up for US Army knowing that there is a high chance that you might get deploy to Iraq and to fight in combat zone.

and you flee?

[SaintChemistry]

Dont even begin to compare Vietnam to the Iraq war, wow.... Go learn2History please, by the way, he signed up for a war... Wars end, unlike this one.

Soldiers fucking rock.

[scamper246]

wow... we're the bad guys? ok.

[Gungrave20]

When any person of armed forces, government official and even civilian when we say the pledge of allegiance its to the republic as stated within our constitutional laws.

The question is not of political bias or partisanship but of what is best for this country. To maintain Sovereignty, Stability and our national identity.

[bscottyg85]

traitor and coward, you sign to fight in any war deemed necessary by your government whether you like it or not, i know first hand ...............not all war is honorable its a fact of live

[220wolteos]

bien. valiente eres une al ejercito si ere valinte tu firma ... no tuno te vas orinar en los pantalones cuando te dispare un franco tirador..o una bomba por poco te despedaze o caijas pricionero y te corten el cuello jaja valiente tras el teclado.. bien rodadito toma tu desicion............

[KhmerD0g]

he wanted to fight al qaeda then ship him to afghanistan where he wanted to be.

[linuxluver]

Americans who don't support the lies and crimes of their leaders should be honoured. They are the true patriots.

[TheValeterUK]

what will hapen when the northern union takes affect? will the marican goverment be able to just pop into canada and take the poor guys who did the right thing?

[gazaktag]

That would be called a Cold War

[DrBones666]

Vietnam, Iraq... it's the heroes that leave.

Good on him.

[mozaks80]

I agree, he certainly is a real patriot, respect

[maas1974]

he is the real patriot...respect

[afgfam786]

I admire his compassion

[vinnyhoags]

At one time I would have Thought him a coward, and still would if he deserted in the field,But I agree with him now. It is an occupation,with murder and rape, the end result. That said,the chicken hawk Harper,will send him back.

[fukraadmi]

good comment

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

If all soilders of the world would resist this war and any unjust war exciting. This world would be a better place. There would be no NWO

But MONEY is the route to all evil(elites). Thats why the economy is the way it is.

[thereisahellhellhell]

this man has seen the truth.

great guy...

[takerdust]

loser

[takerdust]

Don't send him back Canada! Please keep him there, we don't want him back.

[rossyboy1000]

I send?..Its I sent rambo.I bet youve never even been outside your trailer park..LOL how can you call a man a traitor who served his country for 9years?

[Vatashinya]

Yes don't go to Iraq or Iran -- those bloody wars are in the interests of Jews! No more "gentile" blood for the comfort of the greedy Jews!

[grit123]

Good for you man! I wish all of our troops would come to their senses.

[thereisahellhellhell]

well said.

[ummelaila]

WarResistersCanada has been working very diligently and tirelessly to allow them to stay in Canada. We hold rallies, protests, vigils and attend their court hearings for support. We maintain that Stephen Harper is already an accomplice to US war crimes.

These soldiers had enlisted to PROTECT their country from aggression, not invade others and spill innocent blood.

All US war resisters are welcomed in Canada!

[badgeless]

International Law says it's against the law to follow orders known to be illegal.

The war in Iraq is illegal on many levels.

A soldier participating in war crimes is obligated to refuse illegal orders.

Geneva Convention: The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.

If this soldier is deported Canada is complicit with the Bush's war crimes.

[rossyboy1000]

Why dont you go to iraq and fight?

[afrircans1970]

Let's get HONEST here for moment. This man was an E6 or above & KNEW what he was doing when he was deployed. So why is he reacting with desertion?

PTSD can begin to be symptomatic long before discharge from the service.

The repercussions of a dishonorable discharge are totally ruinous to the man & his family. So let's cut the political bullshit here for once & weigh the human cost of lack of productive mental health diagnostic tools.

This man was ALWAYS a pawn: now to be used by others as well.

[larsson71]

good luck

[blunt1984]

Good luck! 

Watch out for the Mounties!

[vinnyhoags]

The Mounties always get thier man,Just ask the 2 male Rcmp partners who then got married. Not that there is anything wrong with that. .......lol.

[vinnyhoags]

THEIR.

[blunt1984]

LoL

[bajan13k]

Glad to here him taking a stand for what he believes in, rather than just following orders. Best of luck to him!

[SanieClaws]

God bless this man.
