Generation Kill - Iraq

Aug 2004
What happens when those who've grown up on Hollywood war movies and graphic video games are sent to the frontline?

"It's the ultimate rush -- you're going into the fight with a good song playing in the background," states one soldier. This is a war fought by the first playstation generation. As Rolling Stones journalist Evan Wright explains: "One thing about them is they kill very well in Iraq."

There is nothing more annoying than when Hollywood antagonizes the military. So what they listen to music it's not like because they are pumped up they are going to go out and start wasting everyone in a town/city/village. These men did join the military because they thought it would be cool they joined believing it was the right thing to do.

And no one actually thinks video games are like the real thing

If people think US is uncivilized and un-educated or whatever you think, check out this website and tell me where most the videos are.. ync.com

99% are in other countries. Be-headings, women being raped and beat, executions. Tell me where in the United States have you seen a person having their head sawed off on film?? Or a mass execution, and the animals are purposely recording it and bragging about it??? I don't understand how some people live there lives arguing proven facts.

@ellebal1111 Like SAT scores prove anything...are you kidding? A ONCE great nation? America is still one of the greatest--if not the greatest--nation in the world. When has it ever been cool to be dumb? You obviously have something against Americans.

@sciencepowerdavid oh bullshit show your sources before you post garbage.

[ellebal1111]

I have nothing against Americans, but the majority are blissfully uneducated, there were great accomplishments, but overall "it's cool to be dumb" mentality, the dismal level of culture and knowledge, & compassion is well reflected in this video..Urinating on the dead is one of many symptoms of moral depravity...American political discourse and low SAT scores indicators...putting your head in the sand will not change anything! A once great nation becoming "the village idiot" in the world.

@ellebal1111 america have create YT you fucking son of a whore

[thuggedout2DAmax]

@PSCreativeGaming And its the Americans that do all the nasty degrading shit to women....mostly anyway. I dunno what it is with American culture man, its fucking sickly.

[thuggedout2DAmax]

@sciencepowerdavid I remember being told that AL Jazeera was a terrorist network. Turns out its one of the most accurate and fair news channels in the world. Hence why when you illiegally invaded Iraq n kill as many reporters as you can, send the rest off to torture camps and blow up their radio stations. Why because in order to get away with the mass murder and rape you commit over there without it being reported.cant belive i dint see past the lies about 'terrorism' and 'islam'. many stil dont

GENERATION SADISTIC SCUM. These fools are to stupid to realize how history will never fail to repeat itself. YOu are the next Rome, the next British empire, Nazis etc. Youve had your time to rule on the planet, which was a pathetic 100 years or so and now your skint. the world has had enough with you, you are on your way out you are just way to dumb to see that now. Its all good though, when your being invaded by Russia, and your all being tortured in FEMA camps dont expect forgivness.
