Peace movement protesting "weapons of war" around Fort Lewis

[cavscout888]

Waste of money in man hours and fuel to put up with these stupid protests. To be honest, they should have used MP's and riot police to immediately clear the way with the use of nonleathal force.

[BebopBluesM11]

Funny how they think, preventing equipment that protects are soldiers, and not allowing our soldiers to return home so they can be with their families shows support for our troops.. hippy bunch of sobs.

[volcomRX]

Fuck you damn hippies! i lived on Fort Lewis for 9 years and if it wasn't for the military you dumb fucks would be on your goddamn knees praying for someone to protect us! Sending them flowers and throwing the peace sign ain't gonna do shit! fucking Peace's of shit!! XD lolol

[capufool]

Yay! lets protest and make sure the very troops we claim to support dont get the proper gear. good idea! Dumb fucking morons. Im against the war, but in no way do i want to keep the troops from getting the weapons and gear they need. And im from seattle too. And waiting to join the army

[crazyheeb]

Stupid thing is you assholes, were not blocking troops going to Iraq...you fucking inconsiderate assholes kept me p[enned in the port waiting to take my Stryker back to Fort Lewis...You deserved ever bit of OC spray the cops gave you and more. What gives you the right to keep me from my family?

[motozone196]

suck it hippie

[jazrackley]

lol i actually see myself in this video a few times. at least people like me are standing up for whats right and for what we believe in. its people like me who are going to make a real difference and make a real change. where are you going to be when revolution starts? who's side are you going to be on?

[soulpatriarch]

I agree with coverchenko, and if people try to stop me from either getting on post or off, will get my combat boot in the face

[peeteedubs]

bunch of non-conformists in this video. i'll say!

[blakhart25]

give war a chance you pussies.

[coverchenko]

if you want to protest go to the white house. write your congressman/woman. dont block lifesaving military equipment from being shipped to the troops. those stryker vehicles are designed to protect soldiers from small arms fire and explosives. by blocking them you are sending a clear message that you do not care about the safety of our troops.

[Skytroop]

Liberal pussy mother fuckers!

[mattpks]

peace thro fire power!!!!! blow those mother fucker up

[bboyunorthadoxx]

ironic that the people "for peace" are the most violent mother fuckers in america. they attack the people trying to protect there asses.

[sammyalagna]

support our troops, that's the least you can do for them instead of throwing trash in the streets, breaking bank windows, and vandalizing publuic property, which this video decided not to include. Liberals have little respect for the world around them. I was at these protests, i'm only 16, and i have stronger opinions than these brain washed, Evergreen minions who go prostest whatever they're told to without even knowing what is really going on.

[sammyalagna]

i was there, and those ungrateful scumbags got exactly what they had coming to them. they're not very bright, they were blocking trucks that were bringing men and women home. We need to show support and love for our troops, not shove everything they are doing for us down their throats.

[M1Aing]

what ever..can't stand people who don,t support our troops, fighting for freedom that you are allowed to have. so go ahead call me what you will, don,t mean nothing! not a thing!

[M1Aing]

If I was at Ft. Lewis again I would kicked the shit out of one of those fagot liberals! The MPs should of billy clubed them. Just like back in the 1960's!!

[yalit21]

you ignorant asshole.

[squirrel022]

I was there, and those people made my life hell for 2-3 days. The WORST part is they are protesting the war by blocking damaged vehicles comin back home. STUPID. Go to DC you f-ing morons and speak to people who can make the difference you seek. Don't prevent citizens (who pay the taxes that run your precious Evergreen College) and prevent them from making a living! That almost got your asses beat! Trust me; the drivers wouldn't have been as nice as the police....

[Zahpet1]

Merda!

[nebbie13]

God, I hate liberal pussies. I'm stationed here at Lewis in one of the Stryker brigades. The video forgot to include the bastards illegally blocking roads with garbage, pouring concrete on the railroad tracks, breaking the windows out of cars and local businesses, and throwing rocks at the police.

[I3ooI3ooDaI3ear]

Why in God's name would you take my Strykers away and put me in some half ass-thin skinned humvee with only sand bags to sheild us?! Anyways, if your in the military and your protesting against going to war, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU JOIN IN THE FIRST PLACE DIPSHIT! I deal with people like them and all they do is complain like fuckin whiners. AND, PFC, wtf, that's only one year in!? Fuckin pathetic, fuckin POGs! God, become some damn E6 or some shit then say something...

[Klloud1]

liberalism is a mental disorder. forgive them

[Klloud1]

hahaha hippies! im glad you got shot with them rubber bullets! you think you HELP the troops by stopping their supply line? nope! you make it worse! how dare you endanger the best men and women this country has to offer! god BLESS AMERICA! god bless the troops!

[sheriff3434]

holding signs up to a convoy going to war saying things that you don't agree with what he is doing... that is a great disservice to them.. they are putting their lives on the line for you and you are telling them you disagree with it..

[kb7ydu]

I'm twelve years in the military, and Been there, and the "protesters" make my sicker then hell!!

[scoutrista]

officer,not,soldier,not scared as we are are yep but we went you didn't ?

[deadringerfelix]

FUCK Watada!... What a coward. What a fucking coward. He bring disgrace to the military. If you didn't want to go to war, you shouldn't have joined. Way to cover up your cowardice you worthless man.

[Konaboy7]

watada's a spineless man who only went into the army for the glory...when he actually had to do shit he backed out and covered his cowardice with an anti-war movement.

[guitmarc54]

Hey, are you any relation to the marine who threw the puppy off the cliff? Now thats one brave son of a bitch...fighting for our what?

What are we fighting for other than a gas station in the middle east. Kuiat is not a country, its a gas station with a passport office..

[nebbie13]

I'm guessing you voted for Ron Paul? :P

[Konaboy7]

they say violence is not needed, but if you beat a hippy he fights back... hypocrite? it used to be "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

now, they want "run away"

"what? they killed thousands of our citizens? Lets go fucking negotiate with them! They must be good people inside!"

The only good terrorist is a dead one.

[guitmarc54]

either declare War or bring the infantry home.want WW3...OK vote like our constitution demands... then.. kill every body kona boy..stupid shit for brains...

[Konaboy7]

we already did declare war...on all of terrorism and the facist regimes in iraq...WW3 was the cold war...Who the fuck else are we fighting in iraq? china and russia?

The constitution and the entire of the United States of America were formed after and because of wars...you need to get your facts straight

[guitmarc54]

yea we declared a war on drugs, a war on poverty,all unwinable like the war on terror...we need to declare a war on stupidity and fill all the fema concentration camps with conformist sheeple and our treasonous leaders who brought us to this point, thinking they were going to get away with the distruction, circumvention and revoking of the american constitution!

[dropout0110]

Umm how would you like it if a reshaped your house, killed your family and told you how to live your life?? Listen to your stupid rhetoric below...we have no business building nations, especially ones that don't pose a threat.

youtube zeitgeist

[alwaysamenace]

Hey dumbshit. You haven't been over there so the only way you know what's going on is by listening to a reporter try to make a juicy story out of nothing. I have never seen an American Soldier kill an unarmed Iraqi. I have seen armed insurgents kill unarmed civilians, and the NEWS DOESN'T REPORT IT. Maybe you should save up your money, buy a plane ticket and SEE FOR YOURSELF. Until then, be as dumb as you want but until you have something intelligent to say, shut the fuck up.

[johnPhilos]

Don't you know oil isn't cheap. We need to pay for it blood.

[4Dizzy20]

we have enough oil already for like 100 more years i think you should do some resaearch you will be amazed why we are over there.....peace

[johnPhilos]

We have so much that oil prices are at an all time low.

[4Dizzy20]

they are rising i think again....but its truely disgusting why our brothers and sisters are dying for

[ryanhendricks2006]

You guys are a bunch of faggits im stationed on fort lewis, so suck a dick you cocksucking faggits who say u support the soldiers, bullshit. If you did then you would know that we enlisted to go to war so quit your bitching

[cavscout888]

@ryanhendricks2006 get a hold of yourself and utilize your brain to mouth filter. We know they don't support us, no matter what they say to try and justify it to themselves.

[Arroyoribera]

I like some many others continue to protest the war. I predict that the U.S. will get out of Iraq precisely at the same point that it got out of Vietnam, i.e., when three conditions are met: 1) when the Iraqis have defeated the U.S. militarily; 2) when U.S. soldiers are fragging their officers; and, 3) when U.S. police/military forces are sent into the streets of the U.S. to kill U.S. citizens.

[Kdeyaktn]

America kills TERRORIST who threaten to kill hippies, first-

[carlmartine]

wake up. we were attaced on 911. irag was shooting at us for years.there is no such thing as a illegal war.if you dont like the way we conduct the war move to canada, they love sociles scum up there,your fabium outlook would fit right in.

[DpR228]

Amen!!! You tell them.

[crazyoffroader]

hey buddy, screw you, I am Canadian, and if you all wanna go and blow the Iraqis to the moon, sounds good to me :D Just don't forget, Canadians, AND Americans are in Afganhistan, not just Americans

[WallFamily]

As a Army wife I do not agree with these a holes who decided to block vehicles and equipment from going back to base OUR MEN fought over there for YOU why give extra stress to them by pulling this bs. it takes time away from them when they could be with their families. Get over it there is a war and OUR men are fighting because they WANT to protect your sorry asses.

[coverchenko]

agree 100%. While i may be a Russian born citizen of the USA I still support our troops. It is because of their brave sacrifices that we have freedom in america and people who abuse it like these protesters should be sent back to Humboldt state and forced to remain there.

[Kdeyaktn]

Iraq was never a threat, our soldiers are over there because politicians want to built their own reputations. WAKE UP WOMAN

[thegarbinator]

Tell your husband I said thanks for what he does for the country. I'm very proud of the men fighting for our rights.

[toknowandgrow]

@WallFamily

So are you still this ignorant as to why we are in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or do more families have to die before you see that both the wars we are in are COMPLETELY for profit at the cost of human lives?

[noslack6r]

These fucks claim to support the troops "bring them home", however, if you don't share their views exactly, then you are a brain washed fascist puppet of Bush. These protesters would'nt want to live, breath, or work around any veterans that don't hold their views. The defend these particular vet's, because they serve their need to embarass Bush.

[JGFox121]

fuck peace give war a chance.

[EricLR81]

LOL KILL EVERYONE, that's what I say. Hippies first.

[Angiebot]

Thanks to people like these, you have a constitution and legal rights. And, by the way, reading more won't kill you. You don't have a clue what Liberalism means. Maybe God, after seeing how many people have died because of your wars, won't bless you anymore.

[coverchenko]

It is not protesting pricks that gave us our freedom. It was the brave men and women in the armed forces who fought and died so that decent hardworking americans can live in freedom. Liberalism means that You are supposed to say no to goverment and act like a bunch of D bags.

[USMCDEVILDOGZ]

Worthless hippie fucks, protest people that have no fucking choice but to go to war!

Should shoot you commie asses right there on the spot! Liberalism is a mental disease!

God bless the USA and my brothers and sisters in harms way!

[Sporthand]

I think you should go to war instead.

[Acumensch]

"worthless hippie fucks"

You people are so idiotic. The war in Iraq furthers terrorism and violates our conventions against torture. The Bush Doctrine is hypocritical since we are harboring terrorists who have committed acts against other countries, such as the Cuban airliner that was bombed. You people need to get an education.

[coverchenko]

up yours acumensch!!!

[AREVERB]

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE FIGHTING!!!

[samson1571]

Tyrone Wells Rocks!!!

[westhillsbird]

Im from Grays Harbor myself originally and I think the place really sucks; everybody is sorta stuck in the twilight zone...but if this deployment really happens, it will be enough to bring the rednecks, logtruck drivers, tweekers and tarheads together with the drunks leading the fight ....This shit wont go down in The Harbor without a fight!

[Rbrcka]

To hell with Lt. Watada, he was fine being in the military and when he found out he was goin to be deployed THATS WHEN HE CHICKENED OUT SAYING WAR IS BAD, fuck this guy, a guy trained to lead our enlisted men in military conflict who chickens out. "peace sign= footprints of the american chicken"

[youthBYTES]

who the fuck do you think you are? you fucking chickenhawk fake patriot, war is patriotism? killing for something you don't believe in? he enlisted to protect his country, not destroy another country and kill its people

fuck you

[USMCDEVILDOGZ]

STFU you cock sucker, like Saddam wasn't a mass murdering dictator!

Sick of you anti military liberal fucks!

[Sporthand]

War is hell. War doesn't show you on book, TV, Computer. You should go to war and die.

[intarwebzz]

you take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, not the oppressed peoples of iraq.

[gopherboy41]

Yeah and our oath also says to obey the orders of the officers above us... Guess what? I ain't stopping my truck for no protestors, nor can I do so until I am ordered to, shove it. I hope one day I can put my riot training to work... It will be FUN... F-U-N!

[BethelPrescott]

Check your manual. You are not supposed to obey illegal orders, such as if you are given the order to commit a crime. This current war is, in fact, illegal. Thus participating in it is a crime.

[PFCstrand]

Good.... So arrest me... I am committing a crime, but oh wait guess what... I am military police and I AM the LAW.

Oh and which manual was that one? I don't think I can even consider your pitiful remark unless I know which manual you are referring to... 670-1? 129-47? 13-2? I don't know there are only a million of them.

And you are yet again wrong in that this is not a war... This is an undeclared military action...

Go smoke some more dope, which by the way is participating in a crime...

[reconsldr74d]

As a veteran myself your comments are not only disgusting there insulting. Way to further demonize the military to people who genneraly support the soldiers as people only opposing the military action in Iraq. By the way... according to US Law and UN resolution 51 (Which since ratified by congress is US law) any act of aggresion by one nation against another is an act of war. Hence we are in a war according to the law. That same article gives the guidelines that make this war unlawful.

[USMCDEVILDOGZ]

Vet my ass you little prick, fuck off!

[coverchenko]

Agree 100% By your screename i assume you were or are currently in the USMC. I have absolute respect for you guys, its you guys who fought and died for our freedom and its hippie pricks that abuse that freedom.

[intarwebzz]

abusing freedom? lol.

[ArmyWife1104]

What Good does it do to protest outside the gates of a Post? Our Troops didn't chose to go on their own. THEY ARE ONLY DOING WHAT THEIR BOSS IS TELLING THEM TO! The "weapons of war" are what helps keeps our guys (and gals) alive!

[usrangers84]

i think its funny how all these people talk about iraq. in iraq theres this and this going on. really?? how would you know? you been there? no but i see it on tv. so you see kids hugging us and us giving them candy and trying to make peace there. do you see the kids tricked with bombs strapped on their bodies to kill us troops. nope your at home eating pizza g etting fat watching rosie.

[kungfuguru]

Oh my God. Couldn't have put it better myself. Well said.

[usrangers84]

thanks.. only trying to spread the truth that the bias left media is feeding to the public of america. god bless USA

[GOPpersona]

We need more objective people like yourself usranger84. At least you take the time to see the other side of this "illegal" war.

[1satya]

Awesome song and video...I am a war protester with a military father and husband. I KNOW the cost of freedom....and support our men and women in uniform, but that doesn't excuse corrupt leaders from using these noble soldiers for political and selfish goals...

[frenchgrape]

Right ON!!!!!!! Great Vid.

[Welshman213]

illegal? last time i checked the invasion of Iraq was sanctioned by Congress, making it legal. so how is it illegal? it is immoral, yes, but not illegal

[mrflo2219]

It is illegal because it was based on a lie and it was the invasion of a sovereign nation that was not a threat to the security of the U.S.

[coldk157]

Lt. Watada is a disgrace to the Military and the uniform and by the way all of you protesters out there just remember who gave you the rights and freedoms of this greatland is the military and just remember the military is a job to and the good soldiers follow all orders given to them unless it is really against the laws

in the U.S

[tenzing9]

Lt. Watada has rightfully and courageously refused an illegal order to deploy in a war of aggression. Far from being a disgrace to the military, he embodies what is best in the Army officer corps. As to the military protecting our rights and freedoms--the military today is protecting only war profiteers. The best defenders of our constitutional rights are those who risk injury, death and arrest in actions like those portrayed in this fine video.(Vietnam War vet and member, Veterans for Peace)

[usrangers84]

if anyone i would think you would support us. but i guess that would be to much. you vets should look at the past and say this is what happened to us lets supports our troops because i know how it feel to be put down and belittled. i dont know where you lost your self respect its sad to see you wish what happened to you on others like me

[mrflo2219]

What parallel universe do you inhabit? No where do the IVAW or any other veteran's against war group 'belittle' the troops. They are wholeheartedly in support of them. It's actually 'sad' that there are people like you, albeit a relative few, who draw illogical conclusions.

[usrangers84]

really. so when i was back in california and i wore my uniform for a wedding and a few vets looked at me and called me a killer and to go to war for this president is wrong and i should die. hm yea ur right. im sorry for being so wrong. i guess it was just old age talking to me. i should let it slide. sorry for defending my country have a good night

[bapyou]

coldk157: Nowhere in the constitution does it say that the Bill of Rights was established by our military. You're confusing freedom with your own goddamned testosterone. Freedoms are a legal matter, not a military matter. And if all "us protesters out here" don't remember that it was "the military...that gave us our rights nd freedoms", what are you gonna do? Start shootin' at us to remind us? Asswipe.

[pinkotreehugger]

Thanks for posting this, its good to see some positive actions agains this unjust war. Keep pushing for peace!
