..it says 24, but it's actually 18 O.o

I can, at times, agree with both "pro-war" viewpoint, as well as those "anti-American"/"anti-war" comments. I, myself, am Chinese-Canadian, but I have a lot of family members who are American, and my cousin's husband was in the US Army for 25 years, serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq. So I have different approaches to things. I try to understand both sides' opinions on things because I don't just consider one thing, I try to consider everything. Personally, I do not believe wars are good. And those "anti-Americans" are right on that part (the war at least). But there is also a difference between supporting wars, and supporting the troops that fight them. Because if it were not for them, then those causing the tragedies that happen would come over to our countries and make things worse. So therefore, I do not support wars, but I do support the troops.

My videos aren't pro-war, anti-peace, or any of that. I try to make my slideshows show what's going on "over there", and to help raise awareness and the morale of any troops who have served, are serving, or are going to serve, to keep on going at it and not give up, because maybe one day, their actions can make a world where there is no war. And hopefully they'll come back to their families and friends safely and try to continue living their lives.

If you leave a comment, and it's one of those "interesting" hatred comments because of my slideshows, go ahead. What you believe does not greatly effect me. To those who go around YouTube and other blogs, forums, and websites all day wasting your lives spamming your anti-American/anti-war beliefs, just consider what I've written above this and know I'm not like what you think.

To those extremely "patriotic" troops and war junkies who say such things as, quoted from one person:
"u should die and bu(r)n in hell for sayin that s*** you have the right to say that cuz are men and women are diein for ur rights to live how you are if u dont like it get the f*** out and die!",
and others who claim they are fighting for everyone's freedom to hate one's country, military, or minority civilians and/or their beliefs...
YOU'RE NOT. You're not fighting for anyone's freedom if you don't give them the freedom to believe in what they want and (quoted) "act like an idiot".

To end this note, I quote another poster with a more favourable comment, and another person:
"sure there can be some stupid ignorant idiots out there, but show them that you're better then those people rather than being one yourself."
