Opteryx,

If you are ever told you will be killed if you educate your daughter, be killed if in the presence of a man not your family member, not able to worship or not worship as you believe, have your brother or sister beheaded because they did something the religious leader did not like, well you are just then beginning to understand some of why we are asked to come help those in Afghanistan.

If we freed you, would we still be terrible or great? You speak of things you do not understand.

Airforce sadly no longer has Combat Camera, they changed to Cyberspace something. They now have 3V0X2, which is still photography. Still interesting, but I assume its different from Combat Camera. I know its one of the jobs I'm looking at.

At 1:27 The picture is a Canadian Army Master Cpl in Afghanistan most likely in 2002/03 judging by the uniform.

@steven4068 Maybe I should add that I acctually have had military training for a year. I've never been on active duty, but I at least gained some insight.

I know a fair amount of people who as of this moment by this moment serves in Afghanistan or is activly training to go there soon. I also spend quite some time listening to soldiers stories through documentairies, youtube etc.

My experience of soldiers in general is that they don't truly bother finding out why there is a war.

[ThaLarsen]

@steven4068 Iraq needed action! but the path Bush and Blair chose was simply wrong by international standards.

What frustrates me is that you only respond with me beeing ignorant and biased, needing to read more. I'd be glad to learn your perspective but I need some sources and hard fact arguments..

I can keep on arguing, but I won't. I can see that you are a soldiers man.

Just keep in mind, as I do, Sometimes you just can't see the forest for the threes.

[ThaLarsen]

@steven4068 It's unlawful by many standards. It's an unilateral action against the ruling of the security council - Article 2, 39, 41 and 42 of the UN Charter Signed and ratified by the United States in 1945. Thereby obliged, alongside and equal to all other member states of the UN, to follow the UN charter.

Not beeing approved by the UNSC makes the invasion an act of aggression (Article 2(1) and 2(4) wich one of the main purposes of the UN was to prevent!

[steven4068]

@ThaLarsen Just read and get to know those that have been there and were and are part of it. I cannot help it that you do not believe me...I am not here to debate/argue about it. Just saying is that regretfully, you are mistaken on your opinion. I am not asking you to stop believing what you do...just read more and get to know those Soldiers who were there and are now presently working with the rebuilding of Iraq. You will learn all sorts of things that will make you rethink your position.
