Rethink Afghanistan War (Part 3): Cost of War - trailer

[Avalon400]

Both wars R currantly costing over 100 billion per year. 4 out of 10 soldiers returning from the Mid-East, claim they suffer from PTSD, and collect, on average, $1,600. per month for the rest of their lives! This makes the US Government the biggest employer in the country. And the Republicans aprove of it !

[Sporthand]

congratulation! we spent 1.2 trillion dollars on military budgets (only fiscal cost).

[Sporthand]

another 3 trillion dollars? watch?v=1OT5uw1Fb_0

[xTanGOkiLleRx]

Dear america,

We regret being terrorist bastards

We regret blowing up the world trade center

And we most certainly regret that the corps has come to kick or ass out

Oorah!!!

[shadowofears]

I couldn't differentiate who is more evil of the two..America or Talibans

[jpgrygus]

Iraq war was a failure. Conditions there are worse than ever.

After 9 years in Afghanistan there is no sign of any victory, if anything it is getting worse for the allies.

How much longer are the American public going to be duped by their government?

Why do the american public think victory is just around the corner with some fantastic new strategy and plan?

If you support your troops then bring them home else you forsake them to a fruitless war with their deaths being in vain.

[heartlessvietboy]

No more wars. We are going to end the evil in killing for all times. We are going to use our ideas to combat evil without harming any single human life.

[prayfortruejustice]

To slow or stop the WAR(s), to slow or curtail the MIC spending, to stop the global terrorism of the Zionist Neocons, focus like a laser on the private BANKS:

The privately owned Federal Reserve Bank(s) (esp. NY FED)

The World Bank

The International Monetary Fund

The Bank of International Settlements

These are the hands that control the G8/20 -- they and their owners are the puppet masters. They who control credit control the world. Money is an abstract thing yet it controls everything.

[SinerAthin]

Wow, so much money + the best military on the earth, yet those witless fools can't do a damn thing.

America, I feel sorry for you having to suffer such inept leaders.

[BaFUD]

When war HASN'T COST MONEY? Stupid internet lol, makes people believe in stupid things.

[xXTaNodel408Xx]

thanks alot gorge bush and u fagget ass republicans

[Sh3pardMelody]

We need Judgement day to come as soon as possible ... soo Everyone will unite and Fight a Similar Threat.... Imagine your self as an Alien watching all these Events on earth... Probably thinking to your self "these Things Called Humans.. are fucking entertaining"

[m1grand70]

i never knew it was that much money.

[AUSTLAND1]

I am not defending bloody Taliban here . What I believe there is no difference in Taliban and America (same shit). America is the one who made Taliban against Ex USSR. When they were fighting against USSR they were freedom fighters and now they are fighting against USA why you start calling them terrorists. Why dont you change this hypocrite policy? If you do this everything should be all right

[AUSTLAND1]

Pakistan dont have nuclear weapons displayed on the roads or in open market that someone is going to come and take them, why dont you just stop this all bullshit by saying that our nukes are not safe. Be honest with us and be honest with world, and please leave us alone, if you guys need petrol, gas and minerals from our region then why you dont do trade with us. Give us excess to your markets and get excess in our markets and just stop killing of innocent people on both side.

[mooners40]

winning hearts and minds? what a crock of propaganda - death  and mutilation does not win anything - children need not die for the profit of an oligarchy - they have done no harm - the malefactors are dropping the bombs - not in my name - it's a crime against humanity!!

[samoesladkoe]

Afghanistan War is very  BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[antizionfighter]

After 3 years uncle sam will bend over to get sodomized .Because when the lion get older the monkeys Bang him in the A##. America is doomed and flooding with debts.Stop attacking Muslims and innocents around the world for your greedy Zionist agenda.

[iloveamerica001]

hi ladies............. whan the doller crashes.. very soon... i wanna see you dumfucks... shitting out of your mouths.. just blame this and that..then... fucking morans cant see the big picture... i forgot i wont be able to see you because you wont be able afford to go online,, next year.. oh yes it will be censored ... check it your life as u know it comming to end...then blame muslims, christians,, better spend time learn how to survive cold nights on streets.. where youll get rations

[sketch987]

The only reason we have anything to fear is because of the unchecked immigration we allow. If we did not have so many muslims within our borders we would have no need to fight such wars.

[Shom42]

1st Place of Today: Award most uneducated and or hateful thing I've heard today.

Prize: The knowledge that I just lost a little hope in humanity.

[assuasive]

Western countries have a long history of hypocrisy in the use of force. For example during Englands colonizing period England considered force used by themselves benevolence, counterforce used by the "natives" England considered terrorism. Why should the Iraqis and Afghan people accept what Americans would never accept, that is the attempted domination of their country by armed foreigners ? Non- state terrorism will never be greatly reduced unless western powers stop using military terrorism.

[babur1231]

Look who is worried about muslim Afghnistan. Brits, US and indians.

[momenabdulla]

When kikes tell you do some thing, you should do it. ABSOLUTELY NO PROTEST IS PERMITTED.

After all kikes are your gods.

[jusbeicrazy610]

what are kikes?

[momenabdulla]

St. Paul was one of them.

Google this:

"google video the other part of israel"

[will4ward]

defamatory American slang for people of Hebriac descent.

Momen is angry that the US govt is partially

guided by right-wing Israeli lobbyists.

[jethromayham]

U need only rethink ROE - Rules of Engagement

1. no more media types allowed to accompany our troops

2. Media allowed to travel on their own and at their own peril

3. spray drug crops from the air

4. wipe out nearest village if troops take fire from any direction

5. let Afghan govt. train their own police.

6.Supply govt with only basic equipment needs such as a rifle, bullets, machine gun, and grenade launcher. Drop the Afghan war and go after Osama and Omar only.

[computerised10]

Surely those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (people) from the way of Allah; so they shall spend it, then it shall be to them an intense regret, then they shall be overcome; and those who disbelieve shall be driven together to hell.

[quiznosful]

@computerised10 no dude your allah is not the same God of Christians and the Jewish people ok? i really believe your serving allah aka satan k

[yestertommorow]

while were their we are making the peoples lives better and we have to remove those wose fighters who use civilians as shields and ruin their lives

[Clownx66]

Just end the fucken war. And hopefully the U.S will not involve itself in 10 year wars anymore because it's bull shit.

But we'll never learn and we'll prob go ahead and try to "liberate" another country and spend trillions more on that country. Not to mention American lives will go down the drain. *Sigh* We are not the world's jesus christ so we need to stop acting like the world savior and spend money where it counts. Not on people who won't fight for them selves.

[artistdigital]

@Clownx66 It is not about acting as the world savior!! Its about robbing the resources of the world!!

[exacerbatedtaboo]

They just recently approved another 106 billion dollars to keep funding Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Frogstomp121]

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

Martin Luther King Jr.

[yestertommorow]

we have to protect ourselves if these terrorist gain control of afghanistan or iraq they were kill so many innocent people

[smujismuj]

Wars are waged to enrich/empower those who profit from wars.

They are for Exxon/Mobile, Raytheon, Rockefeller, General Electric, Lockheed, Boeing, etc.,

The same people who own these businesses also own the media. They've done a remarkable job 'selling' all of this to an ignorant public & an even more ignorant government.

At the root of it all are the international banking cartels:

IMF, WTO, World Bank "Federal" Reserve.

When these institutions are exposed we may see some progress. FASCISTS

[conan439]

who the fuck cares how mutch it cots to take them out we gota do it before thay get to strong and try to get us agen blow the cunts up add burn there kids and rape there women then cut there heads of then have a fuck on them wen dead then burn them then we can move over there and mack america par 2

[aceroadwheel1]

Hmmm, very interesting. This is almost so disgusting that it warrants me throwing up. First off, you can not spell, it seems humanitarians need to build schools in your area. How can you really not spell simple words? Anyway, you are also ignorant as all get out. Rape, cut their (there) heads off, ect. It looks like you are the terrorist if anyone.

Well, I think you are too dumb to talk to even.

Forget it. Just a tip, Hooked on Phonics is supposed to work.

[bapyou]

You're a fucking pig. You need your fucking dick cut off and your fucking useless empty head bashed in, youU fuck. I'm an American. I'll kill you myself. Useless scum.

[truetheologian]

So what Obama spent more than one Trillion in the first hundred days! WOW, and you thought Bush was bad.

[rerobinson08]

There are two things the world has to do; not the US, the WORLD. We all need to come together to end extreme poverty (not the miracle most think it is) All it would take is some funding to the 1/6 of the worlds population that suffers from it so that they could get a foot in the door of opportunity. Secondly, the world needs to support what Bush started and confront terrorism as a whole. Appeasement was the cause of WWII. I'm not a big Bush fan, but we can't just sit by and let terrorism happen

[alizai99]

fuck him he is in the fire now haha he went there to kill the children good that he died haha now what you gonna do with the $20000$ can you take it in your grave? good go and answer the dark grave now little shite die slow! mother fucker

[imkilgoretrout]

all us late 80's and early 90's kids need to wake up. our government is in two wars and no one seems to notice. we must put an end to it, just like our mothers and fathers put an end to vietnam. we waste our lives watching tv or facebooking, brainwashed, and braindead. wake up, pay attention, and act. we are in a great position of power and we are letting it slip by. what a shame.

zot..

[golfcova]

The last person in this video said the wars would end up costing a trillion dollars by the end of the decade (2010). We started the wars more than seven years ago and it will end up costing a trillion dollars by the end of this decade. Didn't Obama spend that much in the first 100 days of his presidency? His stimulus package legislation was nearly a trillion dollars in itself. He has already managed to equal what Bush did in eight years--within the first months of his presidency!

[imkilgoretrout]

Bush went from 5.7 trillion national deficit to 9.5 trillion. 3.8 trillion difference.

Bush also turned a 236 billion dollar budget surplus from Clinton into deficits that averaged over 300 billion.

[truetheologian]

Yeah it's called 9/11 knuckle head. Nothing in Unite States history compares to Obama's deficit, NOTHING!

[imkilgoretrout]

first, justifying all the faults of the bush administration on 9/11 is ludicrous. disastrous response to katrina - 9/11, secret facilities and torture - 9/11, skyrocketing national deficit - 9/11....

second, obama administration inherited two wars and an economic downturn second only to the great depression. of coarse there will be an increase in federal spending. I still, however, does not compare with the mind blowing 3.8 trillion that president bush and his staff left us with..

[07august]

11 master witches, satanists, occultists, kabbalists & masons were each in his/her assigned places on 91101 by Strategic Communication Laboratories, London, paid by money stolen by the neocons in 2001 from the Pentagon, $2.3 trillion, which also paid for witch posters on the Internet. Ann Cappellettii (GWB's witch aunt) runs the group of paid posters & is paid by the money stolen from US taxpayers, not unlike TARP. John Cappelletti's demo co planted explosives in WTC 1,2 & 7 for Silverstein.

[isyutd159]

thanks for tht..helped me in my assignment oral

[imbeachasbro]

All that time wasted in Iraq when Afghanistan was the main case for 9/11.

The aim to to finish the fight in Afghanistan, Iraq was a mistake.

[jmkpns]

Why don't we just end this damn war in Afghanistan? If I were president right now, we would be out of there by now. Not another damn penny for this war!

[irhutch]

As with Bush and Iraq, Obama has not yet articulated a plan or defined what is an acceptable outcome for staggering expenditures in Afghanistan. Is vengeance our only justification for being there? Are we serious when we say an estimated 15000 Al Queda members are really a serious threat to us?

[LoganBePlottin]

Damn this is fucked up, spending all this gotdamn money to occupy ANOTHER country? Man what the hell is going on in this country? Why is it that the citizens see it clear as day, but the politicans act as if WERE the idiots?

This country is so gullable its ridiculous

[Idude893]

In these times of economic crisis, it is necessary to put war behind of people. Osama Bin Laden might have been responsible, but what's the point spending a trillion dollars on a wild goose chase when the entire nation is in a meltdown and the people without work..

[07august]

bin Laden is dead. Chasing him is a lie.

[AlNouveau]

He's a straw man, just a reason to keep expanding the war.

[07august]

He's dead. Once CIA, always CIA.

[pwnage416]

Well what if we end up catching him he may or not be dead who knows?

[07august]

bin Laden's dead. Once CIA, always CIA. CIA contacted him while bin Laden was in a Baghdad hospital getting dialysis. How many dialysis patients do you know who survive for 8 yrs without a liver transplant.

pwn, you work for witch Ann (GWB's witch aunt) Cappelletti. How much does she pay you to post your stupid crap?

[Zhimmy01]

So I suppose we should have all thought about the cost of D-Day.

The first 2 videos were really good. This one is bullshit! What's the cost of not doing anything about it!

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

CANCER CURE = HEMP OIL

[agent47kindalikedude]

war on terror ? they fucked up Iraq because Saddam had nukes ,4 years later and ... well , no nukes . but strangely the war on terror became a source of wealth , shit , generals are accused of robbing billions of the money that was ment to fix the very same country they messed up , oil is being exported to the us openly by thier fellow americans in iraq , so obviousley that "war on terror" was actually a plan to reduce the damage caused by global economy crises , OR bush just felt like it .

[hypnofan35]

They are talking about these wars as if they were legitimately propagated and had a purpose beyond making the leaders wealthy. Contractors? What does that mean? It means: Shutting down all legitimate sources of information. This is how the American and othe facists were able to rape the resources of Iraq and sell it to you at a double or more price.

[majinjared]

All that needs to be done on this whole war of terror is going in to all countries that are controlled by the islamic faith and purge the beasts..

[Scarfaced111]

purge? lol

[givemegurl]

Nation building overseas when American families are left with no roof over their heads, this is what you get when you let neocons run your country.

[whturschoice]

I know what to do "Attack Pakistan to get out of Afghanistan"

[silentmajor]

I could'nt believe it when Obama sent a bunch more troops to Afganistan. I thought he was against these types of wars!

[hijrakom]

Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh, and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be overcomed. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto Hell

― Quran (8:36)

[silentmajor]

Overcome by who and when? Where is hell and what happens there?

[ChromeDove]

Bring our troops HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING OVER THERE!??!!!! The thing that gets me the most is these troops will return to a country in KAOS!!!!!!!! IF NOT IN A REVOLUTION!!!!!! I prey they will fight with the militia to take out this shadow Gov.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CastorT64]

Obama sheep keep whining and whining.

[generaleskimo]

Ok, I HAVE AN IDEA. So, we can't print more money because it would cause hyperinflation, kill our economy, and destroy our credibility, right? Well, why don't we just have AFGHANISTAN print money to pay for the war! That way, it would cause AFGHAN hyperinflation, kill THEIR economy, and kill THEIR credibility.

Man, I've got skillz. My economic insights are fitting of 1929 Germany, which I've heard was when they were at their finest.

[silentmajor]

I'm having a hard time making ends meet. Do you think I should follow Obamas example and borrow and spend my way out of trouble? Unfortunately I can't print money they would throw me in jail. Now I just need to find some bank stupid enough to loan me a million or two!

[bhaskie]

it's called keynesianism and it has historically worked quite well. Instead of spending on useless wars trillions, we can spend billions in investments in our future today.

[arabboyffm]

see you brown underpants , and smell your hand , and see you are so dirty , we wasch evry day 5 times very well not like you product of analsex lol

[arabboyffm]

maybe you dirty american bombed from your own atombombs , and your dirty prostitution country have almost kids from prostitution or animalsex ;-S

[tootshoe]

Moderate Muslims make the bombs, extremist Muslims strap them to themselves and blow them up...

[arabboyffm]

moderat christians do wars and kill innocence with bombs . extrimist Christians us atombombs like hiroshima and nakasaki .

[tootshoe]

your prophet Mohammed was a killer, Jesus was not, that's the difference between your 'religion' of death and Christinaity.

[arabboyffm]

mohamed was not killer !! jesus too , but read your bible your prophets was all killers becaus your god say to kill kids and woman : you god say ;(king James Version)(1 Samuel)(1Sm-15-3)(Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.) if you like more kills of kids in the bible i shows you ;-)

[MrFlyPerfect]

Muhammed fought many wars in Medina. He was a killer. I don't see anything wrong with it though.

Muslims wash from cups 5 times a day and just there hands, feet and face. No soap.

It is a fact Afghans wipe their own ass with there left hand, that is why it is an insult to offer a hand shake with the left hand. All interactions are done with the right hand. arabboyffm You are full of hate and Mohammed would not claim you as his son.

[aviloud]

but when it really comes down to it, all religions are bullshit.

[aviloud]

wrong, i have many muslim friends, some who are even white, and they have no role in any bomb making. bomb making AND suicide bombing is done by the extremists.

[arabboyffm]

no your mother do analsex , that becaus you have shit in your mind , you are a resultat from analsex lol

[arabboyffm]

no thy are americans women i think you mother too , they are masters of prostitution and pornographie in the word . america ist wordmaster of porn and prostitutions export

[MrFlyPerfect]

Bagram is not even a city big enough to have prostitutes, it's a village with an AirField nearby. The prostitutes are only in Kabul and are all Chinese.

Even the most corrupt Afghan will not pay for sex from another Muslim.

[MrFlyPerfect]

I'm all for the war in Afghanistan. We are making large strides with the Afghan people.

The one thing that needs to change though is American Soldiers and Marines should be allowed to enter into Pakistan when there is a posed threat.

[bravenewfilms]

We don't seem to be making large strides with the Afghan people. Our military presence and air strikes have actually killed a lot of innocent civilians and caused Afghan people to support militant Taliban members. The strikes have also pushed terrorists into Pakistan, where the violence has escalated.

[arabboyffm]

im too for war in afganistan , the mujahidin will fuck your terrorist troops .afgans have right to defend theire countrie . im too for the war in USA to see waht mean americans wehn other country kill americans

[MrFlyPerfect]

Mujaaha'din fight for both sides genius. Actually more fight alongside the the British, French and Americans.

Your average Taliban member these days is about 15-18 years old.

Afghan National Police and Afghan Security Forces tend to be 35-45 and fierce. The Afghan National Army is where the young anti-Taliban fighters go.

Afghans don't fight for the most part against Americans......It's the Pakistani.

You my friend need to just keep making Kebabs and paying your German taxes..

[arabboyffm]

any one know the stratigie of terrorist occupations in the history .they do first occupe a cuntry and do problems and split if to 2 parts fight each other example: algeria ,germany,vietnam,corea irak afganistan ,venzuella . america as imperalist country do problems in the word to profit from energie and to export wappon like 1 and 2 wordwars , but finaly america slowly is weak , and taliban will win , and one day american staats will fight each other , and the finance problems are first sing

[artistdigital]

@MrFlyPerfect Enter Pakistan and let the Pakistanis enter Afghanistan!! ;) Lets play cool!!

[MrFlyPerfect]

You're seriously bringing this up?

Senator McCain is the only other choice. Most of the other Politicians deferred too.

Many political pundits; O'Reilly and Limbaugh had deferments.

But, I believe it is better to have a veteran in the White House. But, I would rather have someone who has never served over someone who was a lifer.

[sudiin]

I absolutely respect the aim of this film, but if the people of a whole nation (and a LOT of other nations as well for that matter) hasn't learned that WAR = GOOD BUSINESS in a little short of a century now, what good is this going to do? Not much I think...

There are literally hundreds of movies and films on this subject but in my oppinion the time of _talking_ about it is long way past, and the time for _doing_ something about it is way long overdue.

[bravenewfilms]

Thanks, though we feel like there haven't been nearly films or articles addressing all of the issues involved in this war. That's partly why we created it--to raise public awareness. And both the public and Congress need to be better informed about this war before more military action is taken.

[carrierexchange]

It's not the wars taking down the economy! It's the fascist Obama! Just ask the conservatives.

[drealm]

Does anyone know what the vehicles are at 1:02?

They look really unusual, maybe armored semis?

[Supernova310]

Armored T.C.N. Trucks (Third Country Nationals) They take the trucks to a company on most of the bases that put armor plating on them.

[drealm]

You sound like your in the military? Does that mean they are civilian trucks? And is the armor any good? It looks really advanced, then again I don't know about military stuff.

[ManicMuppets]

I think its safe to say that we have NO say in what the military does.

[buloy881]

that bank just got owned

[biped19]

It's OK because the illegal FED will just keep printing money. The buck will literally pass the onto the the taxpayer. America the dying empire.

[GuyInvincible111]

NATO has been holding the line in Afghanistan while America went off and invaded and occupied Iraq. Now you would have the USA walk away from the war. So much for American leadership.

America, don't start wars that you can't finish, and finish what you started.

[bravenewfilms]

This war is VERY different from the one our country started in 2001. It demands a different approach than the outdated thinking that throws more troops at what is actually a political problem and a humanitarian crisis.

[GuyInvincible111]

I once wrote a history essay on the Malayan Emergency and the most detailed and most thoughtful sources came from the General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. There are many General Officers, e.g. Petraus, who are acutely and intelligently aware of the need to preserve civil society and focus on development. But even this approach requires vast numbers of boots on the ground.

What ordinary Americans need to do is ask what gives them the right to assault other countries on a whim or a rumour.

[nomercyrules10]

the war is over. stop bitching.

[bravenewfilms]

Why do you say that?

[GretnaBlast]

Dude, the Korean war isn't even technically over.

[rohstyles23]

Has the mainstream media brain washed you into believe that this war is slowing down how is the war over with 17,000-30,000 troops are sent to Afghanistan and even though troops levels are dropping in Iraq there will still be 50,000 ground troops left there that is FAR from ending or stopping the war over this fake war on terror which isn't a war on terror but a war on our minds.

[nomercyrules10]

you idiot liberals really love throwing around the word "brainwashed" eh? it's hilarious how enlightened you think you are, you pretentious fuck

[bravenewfilms]

This is a forum for well-thought out arguments, not name-calling and pure antagonism.

[nomercyrules10]

he said i was brainwashed. way to be a totally one-sided tool.

[Truthseekr07]

I agree with two time congressional medal winner Smedley Butler who said members of Congress should not make a larger salary than the soldiers make. Do that, and see how fast war ends. Or at least the soldiers would get a huge jump in pay, eh? lol

Like Smedley said, any war fought outside of defending our homeland is a racket. Words of wisdom.You can find his speech here on ytube,or listed in my favorites.

God Bless!

[nohealthcare62]

President Obama was elected for Ending the illegal wars and Health Care .Now the People who put him into office are being ignored and dying !

[nohealthcare62]

The Citizens voted for Obama to end the illegal wars and Health Care for all and we are being ignored .KUCINICH 2012 * The zioinists GE and others stopped Kucinich and Obama wasnt Man enough to invite him to the Nev. Debates ! Boycott everything made by Zionists !
