you know i had to chime in john. i came back wonder if that was the friend you were talkin about...anyhow...
**** those stupid pics they have everywhere. its not the whole army is a bunch of stupid ass MPs in ONE UNIT. ONE UNIT. its not widespread, its one unit. and it sucks. and they are a bunch of National Gaurd (part time) soldiers to ******* boot. however, they are a reflection regardless on the whole Army and it is sad. Like ive said before, the army is just a small sample of the united states, and youre gonna get bad apples.
but as to this video, it is ridiculous. you think i could care less about any of those iraqis doing s*** like that? thats why we all laugh when we get our briefings about the rules of engagement and dont do this and dont do that. they even have a pay scale set up for prisoners of war. but guess who are the only countries that follow the geneva conventions? the countries that signed the paperwork of course. you think the iraqis follow the geneva conventions? if you want to see my ROE (rules of engagement) card from teh war ill scan it to show you what every soldier is given.
i like how the only people attempting to justify this bulls*** are of course the people from the country who has less than like 100 soldiers deployed and have no idea of any idea of anything regarding war, let alone this one.
so what if they dont want us there, that gives them the right to behead or whatever to innocent cilivians? maybe i dont want canadians in the united states. does that mean if i beheaded your brother nike that you would be like "(shrug) well they didnt really want us there but we were anyway"
im so sick of this war was stupid and pointless and we shouldnt even be there comments. you werent there if you made those comments. you didnt see the poverty level that saddam had his people living in, you didnt hear the stories from the villagers of 36 of the village's children dying in bombs from saddams own army, stories from the people about how their friends would simply "disappear", you didnt see the the gold plated doors, the gold plated desks, the gold plated floors, the gold plated toliets (or running water at all) in saddams palaces while his people s*** in the corners of their houses and scooped it up and threw it accross the street when it got full. you didnt see people getting refused medical treatment because the hospitals money went to saddam. you didnt see the smiles on the peoples faces when we came to "liberate" them. you didnt see the smiles on the peoples faces when we stopped and gave them food because they had none. you didnt see any of that, because you were sitting at home, on your couch, and saying "wow, that sucks. pass me a beer." most of the children never had chocolate. or bubble gum. or fresh water, or running water. most had never seen a camera, or owned a watch. a lot never owned a pair of shoes, and walked around everywhere barefoot.
yet people against the war speak as if this stuff never happened. like america said **** it, theyre living large, but lets go in and get their oil and riches. yea, yeeha! look at gas prices now! good thing we invaded! damn those people are driving beemers and lexes but **** it well make something up so it looks like were heros. **** that. you werent there, as ive said so many times i feel like a broken record. you cant imagine, you never will be able to imagine, and i hope like hell you never have to experience. everything you cherish or take for granted in life, 95 percent chance those people NEVER even experienced or owned, or whatnot.
yea, the bad ass media including the stupid ass newspapers and tv shows and moron reporters tell you about the riots or the aggression. ok were talking about isolated incidents in a country of how many people? but bad news is money making news, and the media and your country with its isolationist policy will be glad to feed you all the bulls*** your little heart desires, twist all the news stories around just to fit what you want. which is a reason NOT to go to war and help out. why not go? because people are dying everyday. but more people were dying everyday long before we got there, in the thousands from hunger, murder, and other things related to saddams regime.
again, you werent there. not once did any civilian show any hostillity towards us. they begged us to let them make tea for us, tried to give US food in many cases when we were running low because they would rather go hungry than see us leave. but let the media tell you what it was like over there. dont formulate your own opinion. tell us how ****** up this war was, after all, you have all the experience in the world. why not teach us a class on this country and the war, since people seem to know it all that never stepped foot outside their country let alone their hemisphere.
please tell us. tell me. because im interested to hear it.
