ANP INVESTIGATION: Iraq and Drop Weapons

Several soldiers who have returned from combat zones talk with the American News Project about what they say is the widespread practice of using "drop weapons" to cover up the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. We feature five veterans and current members of Iraq Veterans Against the War, plus retired Lieutenant Colonel Gary Solis, a Vietnam War veteran and legal scholar who taught "Law of War" at West Point.

@ZeusOwnsYou It was a straightforward comment, which part don't you understand? The part where I summed up the fact that anyone who believes they need to go kill someone else they've never met in order to live free and peacefully deserves their fate?

@zephyrgrim Lol, brave might mean actually fighting with guns o.O not calling in air support every fucking chance you get. And I love how you say the guys an idiot when he was killed for trying to help an unarmmed man, see thats called not being a coward, putting ur self in danger to help someone. somehow u faggot americans take that as bad.

Oh, and another thing, those Apaches don't just fly around shooting anything that moves, they're called in to support the troops on the ground.

And of the van, what idiot drives into a warzone in an unmarked vehicle with kids inside?

Bombed a wedding. Oh, sorry, a wedding isn't a "party." Yeah, I chose to "make up a scenario."

@zephyrgrim this so called home-of-the-brave, where it's called brave to sit in a heli and fire on civilians, so dumbfucks like you can justify it. Iraq was based on a LIE, WMDS in iraq, ok where the fuck are they? no .. fucking .. where. It was a war based on oil. Second Saddam Hussein didn't do a damn thing that Winston Churchill didnt do (or want to do), yet he's hailed as a hero. and ones executed, Thats a funny double standard really.

@zephyrgrim LOL you buy into American-Propaganda like it's fucking CANDY man. Sucide bombers, going into parties? xD WTF are you even talking about you dipshit you cannot just make up a scenario that sounds good and ask about it. America is an imperialistic country, they try to dominate the whole world, they want to poke everyone and get no resistance back, well that times fucking over son. its over because now therse a big movement against them, like it or not its real. so keep bitching about

@JayZeelz

Further, you said it was based on a lie? What lie was that? Please enlighten me. Stand by your convictions. (Actually, that's your biggest problem: you stand by them, blindly follow them, despite reasoning and proof. You people will do anything not to be wrong; you argue just to be right rather than argue for a just cause. You argue to hate.)

But when one's ideology is blowing up innocent people for "freedom" how can anyone hate the US more? The only kind are the unreasonable fools -- the Jane Fondas -- who want to hate because of their own dissatisfaction with their own lives.

@JayZeelz

And before you go on and on about US committing atrocities of their own while you exonerate the Islamo-fascists for all their disgusting crimes, the thing is, it's a war. It's a war for fuck's sake. There are aberrancies in every military just as their are in society.
