Soldier from WikiLeaks Video: 'Iraq Troops Just Going to Be Sent to Afghanistan'

"I started screaming out, 'the boy's alive, the boy's alive.' And I picked him up and cradled him and started running towards the Bradley. At this time, he looked up at me and his eyes rolled back into his head again. I just kept telling him, 'don't die, don't die, I have you.' ... I've watched the death of too many civilians -- women and children -- getting killed for doing nothing more than stepping out of their house. ... Pulling troops from Iraq -- they're just going to be sent to Afghanistan." -- Ethan McCord, former member of Bravo Company 2-16, the ground troops involved in the now infamous "Collateral murder" video released by Wikileaks in April of this year

war isnt nice thats why they call it war

Ethan McCord is a pariah. He just wanted fame, so he went to the dark side. He left early. When we got back to the US, he was fat as shit.

Frederick Barton, senior adviser at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, told the paper: "We pretend it [oil] is not a centerpiece of our motivation, yet we keep confirming that it is."

Last year Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve said: "Everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."

He seems like a good man, but the wars will keep on going, Israel has too much land to grab, the war machine has too much money to churn up and there are too many powerful people who want perpetual war into the future. The only thing that can possibly happen is that people wise up and stop enlisting and going off to kill people in their own neighborhoods.

@awake1563 yeah thats pretty much at the root of all wars money, i wonder who actually profits from nations going to war with each other, that would be interesting to find out

[awake1563]

@thomas242007 well, not nice for those who are injured and die. However, it is very pretty for the coffers of the people who finance and manufacture weapons for it, which is the reason we are still fighting these wars. profit is the name of the game.
