Talk to an Iraqi - This American Life - Showtime: PART 1/2

First the Army guy was all hot shit like talking down to the guy, then he got all preachy on the marine guy. WTH?

If you did not miss with Sadam , Sadam will not miss with you .

"That was heaven and this is hell."
"Yeah, but you weren't free." 

I think the concept of freedom is lost on many. We need a law that makes people learn about freedom.

Yeah thats like raping a girl then telling her, but wait before you weren't happy, I made you happy didn't I? Fricking indoctrination....

pretty far fetched analogy.

Well, if you actually listen to the Army guy, instead of just listening to the swear words, he is saying, "listen my Marine friend, I HAVE BEEN TO IRAQ, and was in on the actual invasion, and I am here to tell you that the general population of Iraq and muslims in general are not our enemy."
He was just saying it all fucked up because he was drunk.

Jeus H Christ!

So many dipshits in this country think like this. Sad to say my mom is one of them. "You weren't free!" Totally missing everything the guy just said.

Many people in this country just regurgitate the same old shit they were told in grade school, not knowing the meaning of any of it. To that guy, "Freedom" has no other meaning than "constitutional democracy".

This country is fucking doomed.

Give IRAQ back!
The loss of ONE American soldier is a greater loss than all of IRAQ.

This was hilarious in the beginning, before the video mentioned that people began to "tell" stuff instead of "asking" things. But I guess they figured they could "tell" instead of "ask" because the booth just said "'Talk' to an Iraqi" But subjectively, there isn't much to say without being circular, up until you ask an Iraqi yourself. I guess it's about listening.

First seek to understand then to be understood.
