As an original gulf war vet I have all the respect in the world for any branch of the service, especially the Marines. However, there were no WMD's in Iraq. Making Iraq the largest crime scene in our military history. We attacked another country without just cause sacrificing young men and women. Now Afghanistan is the longest declared military conflict in the 235 year history of America. So I respectfully ask....what in the name of God are we really doing and is it honorable anymore?

@user6008 Thank you, that is a question most people in the U.S. and the world are asking right now. What is going on with these wars? Now is Libya and Uganda, next Syria, Venezuela and Congo probably, what is the point of this criminal mentality running the U.S. government?

America is run by multi national coorporate companies.....congressmen and politicians are crooks..... the millitary are dumb ass that don't care about who they are defending ....their people or corrupt goverment

[loccoptic]

this is what i love about the west ok say what you want about it we have a lot of dumb people and so on but when we know there is some kind of injustice done to others and when we know it is our fault and when we know that moral and ethically we have not been honest to ourselves no matter who we are where we come from or what ideology we believe in we stand up and show our civilised side where we demolish all prejudices and stand by our marines and our afghani nd iraqi bros and sisters

As a new year approaches, I'd like to bring to your attention one thing: 12,775 <- this is the official number of AMERICAN casualties in IRAQ ONLY since the war started until today ... PLEASE as you decide what to do with the rest of your life remember that unlike these soldiers, you have that choice. Don't disrespect them by choosing to waste your life with drugs, violence etc. Do something positive this year to make a change in something bigger than yourself.

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOUTUBE !!!

@soulfresh10 totally agree with you. Everybody just needs to stop voting because it doesn't matter anyway. They choose who the president is going to be, no matter who you vote for. The United Nations' plan is to screw the people anyway.

OUR TROOPS ARE NOT ENGAGED IN WAR! THEY ARE BEING USED FOR IMPERIALIST ATTACKS BY U.S.

[mastermikes23]

lol at what point does it become a racist war? Did I miss the memo?

[happyfuntimearcade]

i will not support a war with iran!

i will not!

i didn't support the war in afghanistan or iraq...and i sure as hell will not support any more bullshit!

[istvankm]

Why haven't I seen this rally on television before? Oh yeah, that's right... mainstream media is pro-war and cares only about ratings and funding rather than spreading the truth.

[soulfresh10]

now the government wants to take our rights away after taking the lives of our loved ones. do protests really work? we need to stop voting rep or dem. whoever we vote in office will still screw us over. once americans do not have our 2nd amendment rights we cant defend ourselves.
