@DJFG85 WELL THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERROR DRIVEN!! JUST LIKE THE VIETNAMESE WAS REALLY

In April 2009, Vietnamese immigrant opened fire on a civics class in New York killing 14 people. The word "terrorism" was not used ONCE to describe this incident but had he been an Arab or Muslim the word terrorism would be all over the place. The media needs to get a fucking grip and understand terrorism is terrorism regardless of who does it and the reason.

@zantesh You have a delusional veiw on what combat is. Combat is nothing like the video games you have obviously been playing. Maybe you should watch the movie Blackhawk Down. They exagerated some of the movie but it is very close to what it was really like. Now your bashing our snipers? I have nothing but respect for our snipers, they are our silent protectors and have saved my ass a few times. Maybe you have been watching to much TV. There is a real world out there and it ain't pretty.

I saw a vid on this american soldier just last night, he was so proud and had been given a medal, for cowardly shooting 3 men in the head with one bullet, through a wall, they didnt see it comming, and had no chance to defend them selves, this is a cowardly act, yet it= medal.......

@LAGunBroker the nazi soldiers wernt evil, it wa their leaders. the soldiers died, following the law of their own country, they had no choice, , thou think that was fair? Germany votes in hitler because he tells tales of fixing the finantial damage caused by ww1, then conscripts men to the army, soldiers r jus the same as inocents, its generals that must die.

@zantesh So your laughing at America for being in Afghanistan? So are you laughing at your own country also? I mean you do realize your government has the British army over there also don't you? So your comment was like you throwing a sack of shit out there and stepping in it yourself.

[LAGunBroker]

@zantesh So when we took on the Nazi's and defeated them we were mass murderer? I don't seem to remember one person complaining. I'm sure your remarks would change as soon as the bad guys came banging on you door if our military just laid down. Don't knock things you know nothing of.

"MK Ultra" guys and gals… a "Stanford Prison Experiment" extension being carried out in reality by the C.I.A.. Like Abu Ghraib prison, man vs. his environment (system) "stress tests" .Check out the Congressional Hearings on MK Ultra. I love humanity immensely, but I do feel some behavioral experiments are necessary to prevent greater abuses.I'm still developing my moral position/reasons on this.I feel this case is ironic seeing as that Major Hassan, was the psychologist for Ft. Hood...

Btw are you under the impression, that because the government ay its ok, then it is ok to kill, just because you are in the army, doesnt suddenly means ur not a mass murderer, ( serial killer) you end others lives, in the name of what, ( money) :) assholes, brainashed into thinking your doing a good job, but for wo, the corporations :) ( btw there is no god so once ur gone, ur gone, so take care and have some empathy, maybe grow up somewhat and use ur brains!

I'm not muslim, but i know alot of people that are, and are great guys, this is called generalising, even if the guy was muslim, so u got onee bad guy, that makes them all bad?, and honoustly right, he probably had the right to do that, when u look at how american soldiers, shoot wives daughters sons husbands fathers uncles aunties ect in the head all the time or blow them to peices, in a country they have o rigts to be in :)
