Mad World in Iraq

I'm not sure why I made this. I guess this song came on when I was watching a piece on the news about Iraq. The lyrics seem appropriate given the impossible situation we've put our troops in.

...2:36...did he and his son survive????

[ceytron]

my understanding is that this happened at the beginning of the war. The man was captured by U.S forces and detained. Because his son was with him, they let his son sit with him while he was detained. I have no idea what happened to him, but it is unlikely either him or his son were harmed by US soldiers.

This gives me an aching pain in the throat. I dont know why... I broke at 1:37 and a tear slided down my cheek...... favorited 5 stared...

I do too chief. I don't know why, but the picture with the dogs at 2:19 really hits me. Compliments to the author, and God bless the troops.

I have friends who've been there, and made it back. Ultimately, most people on the planet are more or less the same: simply hoping for a better tomorrow, a home, someone to love, and a safe place for their children. The soldiers largely (not all) fit this description as much as the Iraqis/Afghans.

TO ALL soldiers reading this: Google: WAR IS A RACKET by US Marine Corp Major General Smedley Butler(2 time Medal of Honor recep) Spend the time to read this man's words and simply read his wikipedia

i lived on a battle round ,died on a battle ground... but the part of me that was human... is still back there searching for me..... i hope no one experiences what ive been through even though u dont really die but the though that you have 1 life not as unlimited,that keeps u on your toes till the end,and the end is back home or full of holes or in bits an pieces in the mud... trust me when u take fun Airsoft to max its the same thing, and trust me, its not worth the price......

Tho, USA attacked Iraq because Hussen (or another leader) disagreed that they'll be sending fuel to USA. Then USA said that Iraq got nuclear weapon and attacked.

Do you call this freedom?

And about FEMA champs. I re-call, do you call this freedom!?

[fimatmax]

how the fuck are they doing this for anyone but the rich clowns making millions out of the war in which none of the riches kids die wake up get out of iraq its a sick war to make the rich richer and kill off many thousand poor americans

[eggheadAKAspensley]

well u are going round the wrong way about helping people. if people were less tolerant of wars we would no have this shit now.. thats how i see it. funny how am against war but im the "son of a btich" if i had it my way not one soldier would have got hurt in iraq.. never mind the millions of civilians whos lifes are lost and destroyed imposing so called democracy.. only takes a bit of consideration to try and see things from ever perspective iraqi to see things more realistically.

you think everyone has signed up to to war because they believe in terrorist threats or dont believe 9/11 was a lie? I'm one that does believe there is no truth revealed behind 9/11 but I have enlisted into the air force to go into war not because I believe in this war but because I want to help the men over their already no matter what reason they are over there wether they believe what you believe or not people have died for you and others so dont disrespect them you dumb son of a bitch
