I didnt really approve of the propaganda part, but the video was pretty bad for these dipshit soldiers. Most of the soldiers aren't this dumb.

I'm not condoning their actions but you get really bored out there. What you don't always see is how the kids fuck with us. I would do watch at a security post and the kids would throw rocks at us, cuss at us in English they learned, beg all day and sometimes throw MRE bombs to fuck with us. I never did anything but some other Marines didn't have the same restraint.

That's exactly why that video really didn't bother me. I have a few friends over there and they tell me about that same shit. The kids are sometimes worse than the adults that try to kill them because if a kid throws a rock or a grenade at the soldiers, they usually cannot just turn around and cap the little shit heads doing it because some of them are like 8 years old... looks really bad on the news if soldiers are poppin toddlers in the head. And the adults that brain wash these children know this.

Not trying to condone the aforementioned activities, but unless you have been in combat or a slightly similar experience (multiple 6/12/15 month tours away from friends and family in an everyday hostile environment) there is NO possible way you could ever relate to the mindset of these soldiers. Just like any other organization, there are bad seeds, and we do our best to identify and seperate those personnel from our company.
It times like this that I wish I could show you some of the footage that forever lingers in my mind... but at the same time I would not wish some of the things we, as soldiers, witness in combat on even my greatest enemies. Tragedy strikes in many way, shapes, and forms in combat... so please do not come down on the soldiers, even though there are those who misrepresent our intentions.

There is no "person" who sent troops to the middle east. war has to be approved by congress and the senate. which is a total of 538 people voting on the matter. The majority of those people who vote, vote with the goal of representing the majority opinion oh their congressional area.
I would think by now people would understand that Bush is not the only people in control of the nations army

Except for the sheep and the puppy I didn't think it was bad. I doubt the kids and police knew what they were saying. But killing animals for no reason is phucked up.
