@shadowofears Unlike the Nazi's the Americans actually have control of most of the world. Politicly, economically and militarily. And who the hell knows how far their human atrocity's goes. So far, the US killed more people than if the Nazi's killed the Jews three times over. That's hundreds of million innocent lives destroyed because of some stupid political gain they wanted to achieve.

How can these "soldiers" sleep in there beds at night.

This is one of the most destirbing videos i've ever seen.

They shot these poor people as if they were playing a video shooting game. When a van pulls up to save these people they blast them to pieces.

They will have to answer to God for what they've done & are still doing in other people countries.

Soldiers need to do a bit of research, check out the videos by cia/fbi & mi5 whistle blowers, they expose the dirty tricks of these people. How it's the home governmente behind 911 & 77.

If you're a Christian, you shouldn't even be in the military.

@Ivor7777777 "Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory,

but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!"

General William T. Sherman have you ever been to war? have you ever killed a man in self defence?

[UNITEDSTATESMARINE71]

@iRentallyMetarded and also dont justify that this war is pointless, its not about you its not about me its about the people around you. if we left afganistan right now than RADICAL muslim EXTREMESTS groups such as al queda will regroup and grow much stronger than they were when we killed osama, like they say 'when you break a bone it only grows back stronger', thats why we must remove it...
