@BillKiernan Ya, top many dumb people can't bother to pick up a book or sit and watch something.. they watch 10 mins of a crap video and think they got it all figured out.

[BillKiernan]

@Dogmeat1950 well said. most people believe the mythology created about the vietnam war, what you say here is true. for example most people think we ran out of there with the north vietnamese on our tails when nothing could be further from the truth.

@TheZacdes Also, if this is close to real iraq, it was one pissweak conflict, i wont call it war, how many did they lose on their way to baghdad, very bloody few, 2 maybe, thats not bloody war, thats a turkey shoot,lol, Engaging with heavy machine guns and sniper rifles at 1400 meters[from an iraq vet, american] very little close work, wow, what a shitfight. i"d be shaking in my boots!!

[TheZacdes]

@JerryConlon Probably true Jerry, but do you really think it shows all the atrocities that occurred, of course not, you see what the brass wants you to, manipulated in many ways, from what a journo is allowed to see or if he does, censors what he can say, this is standard procedure as you should know. You really think the brass wants US to see everything they get up to, it was similiar in nam!!!

@GonzoMcMoonbeam Sorry gonzo, comment went a little high, it was for Narutoltachi78!

[TheZacdes]

@NarutoItachi78 Your the fuckin dumbass IDIOT,lol"spanish are white and are called spaniards,lol you fuckwit, a 5 year old anywhere else in the world knows that fool. Also, the south americans had NOTHING to do with the fuckin inquisition, you brainless cunt, i feel laughter at your EDUCATION, not the bloody system, your an IDIOT. The inq. shit, was entirely european . How could they have trials about people in south america being heretics, when they were not even catholic in the first place!!!

[JerryConlon]

@TheZacdes You need to chill. Calling people idiots doesn't get your point across nomatter how wrong it is. Yes there are independent journalists in war zones. They apply for a pass that allows them to embedded with a unit. I know several who are independent and work with Canadian and American forces. Please stop with the mindless randing.
