I resent the use of my son's photo to be used to support your anti-war message, and so does he. Where do you live? By the way, his pic was not taken at or near Christmas, and we are all very proud of his good work as a soldier for American and Iraqi Freedom. The author of this video has no clue, as said by "cormizer".
I don't know what it's like to serve..but I would like to say that suddam and osama killed and mis treated people and although I agree with their death I didn't celebrate it becuase I feel like that would just make me like them..I guess I support the warrior not the war. I hope you all get your family memebers home safetly and this ends soon..I mean as a Country were like a heart and right now the heart is broke in two. It should just end, so we can grow as a country but I know it takes time.
@fyiiamthetf2fan Korea was to save the South Koreans who were invaded, Vietnam was to stop the spread of communism as the belief was at the time that the other countries would fall like dominos, Afghanistan was to destroy a horrific regime that supported terrorists. The current war in Libya is to stop an evil dictator from killing his own people. You should read some more my friend.
@Jareth1981 south korea was the only american area of influence in the area, and it was an indirect conflit with russia, one supporting each side, to protect capitalism, as well as vietnam, their own interest, the terrorism was an excuse to widen their influence through invasion, again, comercial interest, and lybia is because they were pushed into it.
@fyiiamthetf2fan Do you really think they used terrorism as an excuse to invade Afghanistan in order to widen their influence? Are you joking? The terrorists who attacked on September 11 were trained in Afghanistan and were supported by the Taliban. I don't see your logic.
I dont like war but i will support our troops, i think that our troops are all family, realted or not i still say they are family and we should still support them, it must be hell over there,
@TheLastRainShadow what total bullshit, not one single US soldier fought for anyone's 'freedom' in Iraq but they did help to enrich the corporate whore friends of the chickenshit, chickenhawk, war criminals of the Cheney/ Bush fascist regime...the ignorant soldiers were doing the bidding of their masters, killing and being killed for them
I think we're all missing the point. The point is that we should keep in mind that the more the war drags on the more lives are lost and the more time our soldiers spend away from their homes. It is also not directly against the war which means it also supports our troops and as one soldier said during an interview you can't support the troops and not the cause they're fighting for. God bless our troops and may he help them do what is right.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!! I THANK ALL OF THOSE HAVE SERVED TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY!!! i have a very close friend in the Marines. i myself have worked out with Marines. Semper Fi and God Bless America.
i have couple things to say if your american u might not like the wars but you should support your troops.... u try serving 9 months over seas not seeing your family and friends... the only family and friends you got are the ppl to the right and left of you . and when you see your family and friends get killed for ppl like you to take ur liberty for granted . i say get the fuck out of are country cause you have no fucking clue how it is over there to hold or see ur friends died so fuck you
@cormizer The troops DEFINITELY deserve support - all that they can get - they're not in Iraq of their own will - they're following the fckwit diplomates - its all politics. The troops cannot help if they're utilised for the wrong purposes - God be with them

This gay song blows. Shit 3 Doors Down made a better war song and I hate 3 Doors down. Wasn't in Iraq, but served in Afganistan for 9 months keeping you whining bitches safe. Don't say it isn't needed. I dare you to go and try to rationally talk to an al Queda member or a Taliban. It is like trying to argue with a fundamentalist Christian, but they cut off your head.
"gay song"? I recognize you as an authority on all things sexual. Kind of missed the point that the song laments war and isn't in FAVOUR of any war? I'm so glad republicans were running things in your country for so long, killed lots of you ignorant fools, will kill more now that you're home, how many of your "friends" committed suicide today? Think maybe they get the point they did something wrong and you didn't?
keep pointing your righteous finger. no one gives a shit what you think. There are canadians in the desert too. You do what you think is right behind your keyboard. Meanwhile, We're gonna keep putting our lives on the line for the innocent. Don't forget, there are thousands of civilians that signed up to train with us andfight side by side with us Maybe they want the best for the rest of the world too.
Support the troops, not the war. Most of these men are good people. And lets face facts, neither side of the conflict is exactly completely in the right.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mindless automatons in the service of evil, but they're good ol'boys hoo-rah! Haven't heard of one of them turning down an order to kill all the civilians they've been found to have up and shot. Not a single one moral enough to say no and make their officer.
Why don't you spend 9mo over there, putting your life on hold, leaving a new wife, having to drop out of school, taking leave from your first really good job, after buying your 1st house. Atrocities happen in war, it sucks but it is inevitable, war is ugly, I know YOU DON'T. It's easy to play keyboard general &speak with hindsight YOU JOIN 2 SERVE, YOU DON'T GET 2 PICK N CHOOSE WHEN OR WHERE. YOU SERVE A GREATER GOOD (OUR REPUBLIC) SO THAT OTHER IDIOTS LIKE YOU CAN TAKE LIBERTY FOR GRANTED
@grobanite1012 Judaism is a religion, but Jews are also a people, an ethnic group. Jews are an ethnoreligious group, an ethnic group closely affiliated with a religion.
Yes i have to agree, to an extent anyway. The Koran is basically a march to war and it would have been desperately easily for the Afgans to surrender Bin Laden if that was within their power to do so. But the topic is of paramount controversy and sophistication to be fully explained in a mere text comment.
The song is undoubtedly linked to America's war on Terror, yet it is just a song and a good one at that. Try not to read to deeply into illusive meanings and references.
I have lost everyone in my family to War. Do these pictures not show United States troops holding the children of the Middle East by the way, who could all be working for the enemy? The blame is on the rich getting richer because of oil including all countries involved and a religion that chooses to kill and destroy all who will not believe the way that they do. Again all that needed to happen was to hand over Bin Ladin and quite using Terrorism for selfish gain. Anyone can be a terrorist.
@bigpaul124 Dude, I thought your father died when you were a teenager and your mother left before that and you didn't have any siblings? Are you talking about an adopted family or extended family?
Japan worked Vietnam did not. I applaud the US for having the dignity and respect to send red blooded soliders to try and sort out a blood bath. God bless and protect those who protect the innocent. It would have been easier to nuke the country and clean up later. As for Billy J being a Jew, you are a part of the problem. Try to strike Israel and watch the real hell break loose. Hand over Bin Ladin and stop the blood shed. Cowards hide behind their woman and children and attack civilians
Bin Ladin should not have come over and killed thousands of civilians and then left his business card.Muslim, Jew, Christian who cares.Who hides a man behind their woman and children instead of not handing over a war criminal. That is insanity?The Koran teaches to kill the infidels. That is the law. So to be a believer you must do this. To kill everyone who is not Muslim. Well then you will have to fight the powers of the entire world who are not Muslim. Where is the peace in this religion?
Unless you are ACTIVE DUTY military, you have no idea how many times I have heard that. All I have to say to this statment... Have you been over there? When you deploy, then we'll talk.
Great song. I too am a volunteer in the military, but I didn't sign up to make Exxon and Haliberton rich. We should have just gone after Usama. Hunted him down till he was dead, but no we are wasting $2.3B every week.
We need to stop this BS war and bring our troops home.
We're all freakin VOLUNTEERS! Get over it. We're here because we care to fight over here and not in our own backyard. Get a clue people...It's CHRISTmas in Fallujah because it's JUST!!! (Stop watching CNN and try FOXNEWS for a change...and listen/watch for the truth!)
Oh, well if you're volunteers then it'll be no trouble getting you back here.
Because while you volunteered to go rebuild a nation that we had no business fucking up in the first place, people were drowning in our cities that remain devastated after Katrina. Our bridges are collapsing and our out of control spending on this occupation is bleeding the country dry.
Blah Blah Blah, I spent 9 months in Afganistan, and have had 4 friends die in Iraq, all of this for you to run your mouth with talking points. You are an idiot. Iraq was a shithole way before we got there. Katrina was more of a fuck up pf local govt. than anything else. If you think this is a lie, then why did other areas hard hit as well make out better? Our bridges are collapsing because we waste tax money feeding and paying 4 the cable of people that can't swim, yet live below sea level
Alot of songs touch us in many ways but this one reminds us of the line. "what the hell are we doing." This is not our war they are animals and our men and women need to come home not tomorrow but now. We are not solving anything and our presence there is only killing us and them. Bring them home. And is a great song that will touch your heart with the truth. Let this song help bring our troops home. Play it till they can't stand it anymore. let this be our voice.
God bless america
