  • @TheScottybobear i am very well aware of who what and why this world is so shit, and it has nothing at all to do with any country.. my previous reply was directed at that complete fucking idiot bluestrapsify, i love what the occupy movement are doing, it is without any doubt the beginning of something very big!!! and just for the record for the idiot below, bin laden had nothing to do with 9/11, you complete and utter retard!!!

  • @bluestrapsify You speak, that "America" the govt. represents you! America does all the work because of Israel. The "Nazis", did not push Communism but Nationalism. The official story of 911 were 19 hijackers. Bin Laden died in late 2001 from kidney complications. Dude, stop watching bill and sean on fox news. Don't be that guy!

  • @dazz1ful I can understand your hate with Americans. Trust me...I am from South Carolina and I see our govt., not us.. being the biggest bully in the world. Please...do not confuse our govt. with the people that love our land! It makes me sick, that we are the most hated country on the planet! If I had my wish and strength... I would over throw this govt. that has been occupied by Israel. We are not all dumb here!

  • nice to see a soldier with some brains and a consience, beats all those american pricks who just love killing innocent people as long as they are not american, !!

  • Stupid Britts. America does all the work and getts crapped on by almost every other country. We Fought against the Nazis . Comunism. . Some 15 assholes dare to fly planes into the World Trade Center. and think were gonna just do nothing. Doesnt stop anything That Bin Laden is dead but it goes a long way. I think we should have droped a atomic bomb on Iraq, and Afganistan. and it would have been over. The Muslim religon does not exist. Mohammad is a false prophet.

  • Modern Day Hero.

  • @strongiesred Fighting killing and being killed is not just a job. We are told the Armed Services are our boys [and girls] acting on our behalf. Yet the vast majority of UK citizens opposed the Iraq war, and now oppose the Afghan war. Joe Glenton also mentions the " conscience clause" which should allow all service personnel to opt out if they have good reason.

  • You're an inspiration. If only more members of the military had the courage and conscience to do what you've done, and enough education to make the decision in the first place. I know people who have family members who have served/ are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they're opposed to these wars, but they don't make any stand against it. It's hard to feel any respect for that.

  • Joe well done for getting through the system, awareness has been raised. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future for these wars and the result in UK and USA with soldiers leaving.

  • Thanks for video.Have wondered how Joe Glenton was. Thank you Joe for speaking out about Afghanistan. The rally Afghanistan-Time to Go (on the 26th in London) has my support.

    Do the regular army in Afghanistan know about Instruction No 6? Can they quit on the basis of conscience? Is it a rule that is kept hidden under the carpet as Joe's release was?

    Joe Glenton is a man of conscience. All the best Joe!
