  • Nice one!!!! I love it that they fucked that spotter!!!

  • @chillibeans22 That last statement would be so much more impressive were it not for the fact that it's usually the US fucking with other countries which motivates them to fuck you back. Try staying at home for a change, not interfering in other people's shit & then see how many people want to blow you up...

  • @chillibeans22 Politics is pretty much everywhere. It's why you're in Afghanistan & it'll be why you leave. You're not protecting anybody. If anything, you are making the world a more dangerous place. Your actions are creating terrorists. They hate you for a reason. Not because of their religion or any bullshit propaganda you've been fed. But because the West keeps INTERFERING in their affairs & dropping bombs on their heads. Not to mention Western support for Israel. Try learning some history.

  • @chillibeans22 Whatever you tell yourself, the truth remains you are fighting a pointless war. Not for any moral or noble cause but simply because politicians cannot admit they were wrong. You are saving face, & risking your lives for gutless politicians. Not one of whom would send their own sons to fight. They are willing to fight to the last drop of other people's blood...

  • @chillibeans22 As for the bombs kids are stepping on, the bombs are intended for you. Your presence there is the PROBLEM. You are making life more difficult for the locals by making their home a war zone. & killing them in the crossfire. You're not helping them, you're simply making matters worse. Any achievements you do make will be short lived. The Taliban aren't going anywhere. Meanwhile, irresponsible US actions are radicalizing the population &generating even more support for the Taliban.

  • @chillibeans22 Oh so I imagine all the dead civilians, women & children, are figments of my imagination. Just because you may not be personally responsible does not mean it's not happening. It's happening every day. Both civilians AND US & UK soldiers are losing their lives everyday for NOTHING. You cannot win & you cannot stay there forever. The war is pointless, a waste of time, human life & tax payer's money. Accept reality & leave...

  • @chillibeans22 He's not been through any shit for ME. How about you show some respect for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi, Afghan and Pakistani civilians who have died as a consequence of US air strikes & drone attacks. You don't even give a shit, do you? Patriotism & ego are more important to you than human rights. Drone attacks are cowardly. Modern warfare is for pansies, let's face it.

  • @baskins0331 Perhaps you can explain why the locals want you to stop shooting them? & killing their cows. Do cows commit hostile acts and harbour hostile intent? Seems killing unarmed men is par for the course with US troops these days. Judge, jury & executioner. Justice... the American way...

  • But thank you paul woods and Ronnie wright

  • If you were there in our shoes you would understand the threat of spotters the video doesn't show what we saw and the area we were in was one of the worst we had to patrol in if you have any questions feel free to ask
