[IconOfSin24148]

PINK PANTHER FTW

[TyrannyOfSock]

[cCcKERKUKLUcCc]

petrol!petrol!petrol!

[skwinkle79]

oh how good, first they bomb their houses then they give them rubber balls, that is progress, hey remember Iraqui people, when spanish came to mexico, they used to give them mirrors in exchange for gold.

[Buried3030]

if your house gets bombed...its for a reason.

[FottiK]

this is how you stop terrorism, thank you these are good soldiers and these images need to be shown on TV so Iraqi's and americans can understand that in the end we're just ppl

HE who judges cannot escape his own judgement.

[DJxBeaST]

please USA stay in my country for ever iraq love u and need u.

[ilovejosephriviera]

I do hope this war will be won. It'll be a great country soon, with the support of the US and its allies.

It better beat the shit out of Iran, that's for sure!

[GreenSword15]

theres good people and theres bad people.. god bless the good ones

[MoroccanAnwar]

BALLS FOR OIL

[RyanM2456]

Most of you failed to read the whole introductory to this video....it said donated from the American school children God bless them, and our soldiers!

[topman66]

Awesome video, really shows the sort of things we need to be achieving in Iraq, this is the reason the coalitions fights.

[koop10]

good american soldier is a dead american soldier

[Buried3030]

If American's are so bad why do you feel the need to use the sayings we make up.

[caenlink]

God bless good peolpe, thanks good soldiers..

[esters45]

lol i would of gave some of them a tooth brush and a lice kit. I'm kidding very bad joke. Great kids.

[realitic]

LOL uber funny!

Great kids yeah :D

[Clutzyman]

If we win this war, Iraq might eventually become one of the richest countries in the world. In 30 years, it might be like Germany or Japan.

[pp046]

I've seen some stupid vids..soldiers making kids run for water and that kind of things...but this vid proofs there are really good and nice soldier too in iraq..respect for those soldiers

[tybash]

ohh if that balls and small things was fun for them

[rangerwannabe001]

And I have to apologize to subzero whatever because I accidentally marked his comment as spam. I meant to reply and to say that I apreciated his comment and was glad to know that most Muslims were like him/her.

[rangerwannabe001]

And I as an American wouldn't have it any other way.

[orkaan]

waaaaaaaaaaw you people gave balls to kids waaaaaaaw what a nice people there are in america. FIRST OF ALL dont bomb irak in the first place fuckn fags. assholes, giving balls to children, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw (sarcastic) you give a ball to kids, JESUS FUCKN CHRYST. americans must be angels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[liger0yager]

Wow and you must be jesus christ himself to be able to judge why people are doing something you fucking retarded bitch

[rangerwannabe001]

Heh. Do you even know what your talking about orkaan? Bombing would kill civilians as well as tactical targets. If we'd wanted to be mean, we could have just dropped MOABs and killed everybody. Instead, we are occupying Iraq, with a q not k, and rooting out the "bad guys" even though it costs the US lives. The US, and UK, for that matter, are the worlds Do-gooders.

[antb2u]

rangerwannabe

ask pat tillmans parents and brother about the "Do-gooders"

[KokSquad]

antb2u not every soldier and marine we have over there is a bad person

[Milt0nBradley]

America is the best place to live. Im glad to see good - postive postings like this one.. post more!!

[donovonc]

The birthrate in Iraq now, thanks to war and depleated Uranium, is equal to that of kids in the worst part of Africa. How about instead of toys, you get those kids some running electricity, clean water, and a life where they don't live in constant fear of dying? Remind me again why are still in Iraq????

[rangerwannabe001]

And donovonc, that's exactly what the US and British forces have been trying to do. It doesn't help that we get set back everytime some radical bombs us.

[Sil240SR]

donovonc... We are still in Iraq because if we leave, civil war will break out and the place will be a training ground for terrorists. I don't know why people think we are bad, we help so many people. It's not like we go around killing who ever. When we get shot at we sure as hell defend ourselves though and you would too.

[Samaraha]

Finally someone speaks the truth. Well said!

[jackwiskyguy]

Stop fucking crying about the war. It happened! So just keep quiet and dont enlist if youre not happy with the war.

[YourNameHere1212]

I like how the only things that arn't "propaganda" are negative things. Could it be that American Soldiers are good people? I guess the photos of Americans running into fire bombs to pull our Iraqis that only show up on YouTube are government constructed propaganda. Thanks for your service guys.

[MartinMolloy]

Images US troops blowing up footballs for Iraqi children makes good propaganda. The reality, however, is that US troops spend more of their time blowing up Iraqi children. To date, 250,000 Iraqi civilians - mostly women and children - have been murdered by US forces in Iraq. US troops have no right to be in Iraq. If I were an Iraqi, I could advise them on precisely where to shove their footballs.

[Jamsie567]

Martin I am sure thats exactly what those troops were thinking when they were blowing up those balls. This is going to make a great propaganda film, yea right. We killed 250,000 people? Get the facts straight your are the only propaganda here you filthy socialista.

[elminz]

The war in iraq, the happy world of caring, sharing and happiness. Ah the sweet taste of propaganda in the morning. Considering this 1 video currently makes up for 4%, yet represents a tiny fraction of a % of the violence in comparison. Its kind of misleading don't you think?

[Pyr01]

UNO sounds safe

[thundercow99]

It's a happy world of soccer balls and rainbows! I am not fooled by this transparent propoganda. Hitler and Geobbels did the same thing. There is a nazi film showing happy children in a concentration camp eating candy. God have mercy on us.

[bcorcoran2004]

Too bad the American media doesn't show good things like this. The media works for American "useful idiots" like John Kerry, Murtha, Al Gore, Etc..They are Tokyo Roses!

[MightySaturn5]

propaganda?....why is it always propaganda if its something positive and always "reality" when its something negative? Sweetie, perhaps you're a negative thinking miserable wretch, then again I'm sure you wouldn't think that of yourself and probably think happy people with cheerful outlooks are naive fools with poor vision...That gives me an idea! -if you become president you can lead the way to a more angry,pissed off and less trusting country-you know, more of us acting like you....

[amexander88]

Propaganda

[firefly241]

No matter what country you go to, Kids are still kids.

[moonchild24]

come on..

[mizunderst00d]

mashallah this is what they should be doing! i just hate the way one minute they are giving gifts the other minute they are bombing buildings.

[peteb3527]

Oh, we can't make up our minds? When I was there I spent like an hour a day blowing up soccer balls for those kids, not buildings. Unfortunately our media is too busy selling the idea that we are "bombing buildings", so all you know us as are baby killers. Unbelievable.

[Ark559]

It is unbelievable. The media makes our OWN men and women of the armed forces look like spawns of the devil. It is the only way that the media can make money. Bastards.

[ExcursionGuy84]

Well obviously the soldier can't give EVERYONE in Iraq a soccer ball & some new clothes now. If they did the same to the terrorists, we'd have the Taliban running the US Congress.

[Jamsie567]

Dig deeper life is black nor white theres different colors and shades we don't always see.

[freakshowsfreak]

You can say whatever you like, no matter how you spin it, it is a "Winning the hearts and minds" campaign. We did the same thing when I was there. Yes its to pass along a gift, but also to buy them off so they dont toss gernades or other explosives at us or into our compound.

[Dengar12000]

It's amazing how every Iraq video on youtube has the comments section turn into a fight. It's a bunch of soldiers giving soccer balls to kids so they have something to play with.

Seriously people read too much into this stuff. Turn off your tv. Walk out your front door. Keep it real people.

[sakura1172]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[sakura1172]

I totally agree with you.

I just made slide show of US troops and children also.

[Lachausis]

almost put a tear to my eyes.

[Jamsie567]

Thank you for showing us these videos encourage more troops to take video and show the good thats being done. The media slams us to much you guys are the eyes and ears for us don't stop these deeds. Lets win hearts and minds not to late.

[swat105]

some people are against this??? wow and they said they are trying to help everybody

[6rpima]

Keep on wishing! They don't care how many US military personnel or Iraqis must die in order to get and humiliate Bush and the US. They've got the ethics of child molesters.

[lebanese1050]

may allah bless those soldiers who do those nice things. and i hope there is no more war inshallah

[nikeswooshguy]

I think we need to take a step back from absolutes. Iraqis aren't blood-thirsty murderers, neither are US troops. The troops mean well, but you're obviously going to have some mistakes and even outright bad soldiers harming innocents Iraq. Some Iraqis mean other Iraqis and US troops harm, most don't. Step away from absolutes.

[goodlovintoaster]

it's the least they can do after killing these kids families.

[azhketh]

Ezel.

[alexakim]

Our Soldiers care for all children, regardless of who their fathers are because they value life. Unlike the monsters murdering their own people.

[ktcat1]

Great stuff! Post more, please!

[AUSSIE249]

everyone needs to understand there are bad soldiers and good soldiers, just cuz ur in the military, doesnt make you an upstanding mature man

[blogagog]

it just makes it much more likely.

[34039thstreet]

We really need to ask why videos like this aren't shown on mainstream television or cited in newspapers.

This is the United States Army I remember and of which I am proud to call myself a veteran from another time and place.

[ch473]

It is shown on mainstream media, just not as much as it used to be, because the violence and terror in Iraq far outshadows the good. Dozens (sometimes hundreds) are dying every day, while Anna Nicole Smith and Don Imus are the top stories.

[SUBZERO90]

Allah bless the soldiers who do these things.

[rangerwannabe001]

Sorry about that SUBZERO90. My bad.

[lolosis59]

Ours is the only military in the world where, when children see them coming, they run towards them.

[cristinukis]

That is not true.

[jaykia]

this proves that most solders are good and really do try to help out the country...its a shame that a few solders...the ones that beat, rape, and kill innocent people ruins it for everyone...you never see this kind of thing in the news anymore...although I still have a stinking feeling that we are still going to lose this war...

[goldslinger]

You will never see the mainstream media or AlJazeer air this! !

[faschell23]

What are they fighting for? Sadly enough, the answer is you. All of us. And instead of ripping on the people who risk their ass on a daily basis to protect yours, maybe you should try thanking them.

[denverstreetcar]

Funny how you don't see this showing up on CNN, Fox News, NBC, CBS, or ABC news. Leave it up to youtube.

After seeing this video, my kids want to give soccer balls to Iraqi children. Anyone know where we can give online to this?

[susanh0221]

I just thought you might like to know that a sampling of these videos were aired on Fox News 04.04.07.

It's so great to see short spots of the good we ARE trying to do for the people of Iraq. G-d Bless our American Soldiers and Coalition Troops who put their lives on the line every day!!! Stay low, stay safe and know that we stand beside you!!!

[wreksangel]

GOD BLESS YOU GUYS! Keep your head up over there, and know MOST of us at home are behind you 100%, and pray for you everyday.

[AngelTRUK]

Is this a reconciliation after what they went through?

[livluvvv]

I guess so, they seemed pretty happy.

[AngelTRUK]

Is this a reconciliation after what these kids lost?

[XghostriderrX]

givings is always good but the war never ends

[socrkeep18]

This is awesome, too bad the person in charge of our military doesn't know how or when to deploy our heroes.

[nicksaregone]

I love seen things like this but the Mother Fkr Media dont want that. They want to show hate and blood. This is too easy for MEDIA...This like that should be shown to relax people minds around the world. Cuz USA always the bad boy but plp dont see that we like to help too.

[perrylkent]

Thank you guys. You are our goodwill on the ground. Glad to see scenes our spews media would NEVER show us. They are afraid of what you guys are doing, just like the irrational hatefilled commenters.

We support you guys! Thank you for your DAILY sacrifices. Stay until the job is done and come home with honor and victory!! Leave Iraq free from tyranny and secure for democracy.

[bjk101181]

In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah", and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye were promised!

[boooyaaa2u]

i don't think that giving soccer balls 2 crowds will convince Iraqis that lost a father, or a mother or brother or a sister 2 the war that they are the good guys... Iraq is a mess right now and real action has 2 be taken!

[microdot27]

well done soilders!

[RAC56]

God bless our troops! You Troops are my heroes!

[RUDEBOYMARLEY]

Semper Fi. Bring our boys home !

[teheeitsme]

You haters need to shut up!!! Most of the American forces are there to amke things better for the Iraqi! If there is no lights or water blame it on the people who keep blowing it up!!! Who is it blowing up 100s of women and kids daily?? Huh?

[texasfox]

Your right, teheeitsme, people only sem to think of us, the US, as the bad guys. What about the human bombs who go into crowds of their own ppl and blow their own ppl up? Women, children, makes no diff to them. THAT is not us, we are not doing that, they are doing it to them selves. It is very sad to hear about and see a ppl killing each other and we get the blame!

Great Job, Troops! Love you and be safe! And come home safe!

[CaptainStrykerofdoom]

first the war, then reeducation, suppose soccer and big macs fulfill the expectations after bombing a country

[SDLEIKAM]

Great job guys!!! Most of us here at home commend you on your sacrifice and dedication to duty. What other country has given so much and has recieved so little from others? Oh, my daughters think you guys are true super heroes.

[Thunderbirdheart]

Hey i was thinking, that's how they defeated native American Indians... the balls probably have germ ware fare substance located in them? Beware of germs or small pox in the blankets, food, cloths and water or even toys!

[duuman]

and than same troops will kill everyone,and they will take back all balls.just don't kill people,leave them free,it's not american business to go Iraq and kill people.

[SDLEIKAM]

Maybe you have a point. After that we should withdrawel all financial, humanitarian and medical aid from all countries. This would include the medical help and expertise that we supply to Africa and other countries to combat AIDS. Then again, Americans are generous and that would not be the way we do things.

[genghis6199]

maybe they could give them their parents back. or running water next time.

[altermega]

or even better...give you a brain.

[Pyr01]

running water sounds great, electricity is useful from what i hear

[tldavis61]

As always, our troops are the best. It's great to see the interaction as well as the action.

[FRANKLY21]

Thank you for showing this, the truth will be told one day when peace is embraced.

[lilspys456]

maybe they should do this more often

[NJRocks281]

how about everyday..which is what they do

[sundropdave]

nice

[cinnaraisnbagel]

Great work guys and gals. Despite what you may hear we all still love you guys and are praying for your safe return home. Keep up the great work!

[AlreadyKnownAs]

This ones going in my Vlog post. Thank you.

[carltardif]

This is great People do not see this side of the war keep it up lads. God bless hope this will be over soon.

[HeadDominion]

people don't see the bits where the coalition blow of the kids leg by accident, or kill their own comrades too!

[wreksangel]

Actually, thats ALL you see on the MSM. THIS is what you don't see. When is the last time you can honestly say TO YOURSELF that CNN or MSNBC showed the progress being made?

[Pyr01]

at least MSN shows the truth about war
