Kill a person you are a murder, kill many you are a conqueror, kill them all...you're a god. A true hero would stop the war and have both sides shake hands instead of the cold image of a man murdering another man...because he has a gun and he doesn't want us there. People do these things because they live, adapt, and die. Why we still fight them,...idk?

The soldiers (not normal people) are being brainwashed for war to act as killers!

They been trained to KILL not more not less! Their normal concience have been replaced by abnormal behaviour for their masters to work to be able to fuction as soldiers! No normal human being are be able to do such things, if not be being altered if u will, to something even worse then animals! One cannot reason with because they have been brainwashed! Its a crime played over and over again!! Our world is doomed!

Why the hell are they are there for in the first place....if they have no business they are the one who should get out @ryanrenesis !! Or is it bcoz the oil???
