@jendeh32 Cheney and Bush were both cowardly draft dodgers who refused to fight in Vietnam , this is the war they wanted, they are the ones benefiting from this war, Why would you give your life for their causes ? Don't you think your life is more valuable than to risk it so Haliburton can make billions ? More's the pity .

What i Don't understand why ppl think that others join the AMERICAN military are only there to kill pple just like that!

They joined to protect freedom and democracy in the US, not go to another country and kill civies and say oops thought they were terrorist. but its always about the american troops so just wait till u c when the civilians starts to get their rights and call US terrost

look at iran a US spy plane crashed there so why not invade US in search for the person who created it ?

I don't give a shit if you are for or against the war in Iraq I personally am against it but it makes me sick that people like this guy will turn against there own. You owe something to the men and women who didn't make it back. Coward wouldn't even die for his own

If the war is about oil, why did oil price in the us increase during the war?

what i don't understand ... is how people think they can join the US Military and think they'll never go to war ... and have a job fucking off and training for war going to see other lands in the world ... but when they have to DO THEIR DAMN JOB you get SHIT BIRDS like this fucker ... this SHIT FUCK isn't a Marine .. he'll never be a Marine ... Marines don't fucking cry about shit ... we just do our damn Job ... talk to our boss ... not the "employee's"

As an original gulf war vet I have all the respect in the world for any branch of the service, especially the Marines. However, there were no WMD's in Iraq. Making Iraq the largest crime scene in our military history. We attacked another country without just cause sacrificing young men and women. Now Afghanistan is the longest declared military conflict in the 235 year history of America. So I respectfully ask....what in the name of God are we really doing and is it honorable anymore?

@JeffryLaviLim

i know that retard but think about this

the muslims in afghanistan who wer are trying to help are two face cowards

they dont rat out the taliban even though the taliban attacks from their homes

they blame the us for everything

but if we did attack saudia arabia or anywhere near mecca

there will a BUNCH of angry muslims

more than what we can handle

[JeffryLaviLim]

They started the wars....not the Muslims. see the difference.

@RayWilliamJohansen think before you comments dude!! 1 billion.... don't judge Muslims that way. They might not fight back... dumb ass
