Fucking quality human beings on this page, a mother lost her son and we have this asshole ripping the mission apart? Yeah everyone has views, Yeah some people call the war unjust, BUT HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU GO ON A PAGE ABOUT A FALLEN SERVICEMAN AND CRITICIZE WHAT HE DIED FOR? It's not like when you die I'll go to your funeral and say "And here's another asshole keyboard warrior flapping his gums on a page just to get a reaction." Dipshit, get some class.

Two,

Fuck politicians and politics. In my two tours in Iraq I had nothing to do with oil. However I did assist the reconstruction teams rebuild Iraq's economy and infrastructure while also assisting with the training of Iraqi Security Forces. I made friends with many in the ISF and their families along with other Iraqis I met with. Many of which I still keep in contact with. I did the same in Afghanistan.

I know the difference I have made. You dont know shit.

@BestRemixesOnlyVol2

You are sadly misinformed.

One,

It is estimated that between 98,000-130,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in conflict since 2003. You have to realize what these casualties are caused by. 99% of those casualties are caused by insurgent activity and sectarian violence. The small fraction of civilians killed by coalition forces receive reparations and those responsible are charged, just as a civilian would be.

@usindependent50 Yeah got it...Killing hunderds of thousand of people sure gets you a ticket to paradise...Also you changed the oil tradings to dollars?That way you weaken Euro and make the dollar stronger helping you keep YOUR economy stable...True altruism...either way i dont care what you think...I have my own opinion...Also i have eyes and a sane mind...So live your life as you have been taught to and try not to justify your cruel actions...
