Just misguided by a corrupt system, that can take advantage of them based upon their shortcomings. Be it their financial situation, or simply their skill in any other department. I mean, let's face it, you don't need to be a genius to point a gun and pull a trigger. Hell, a bullet from a child kills as well as a bullet from anyone else (yes i'm gonna rip that line from lord of war) So they government will happily pull in these guys, offer them a good paycheck (which really ain't all that good based on what i've seen), skills training, and an education. Then ship them off to get shot at so they can make some money for themselves and their other rich buddies.

I'm just saying these are normal guys over there, and they're getting fucking bombs thrown at them for absolutely nothing. How anyway can come down on them for panicking, cowering down, or even crying out in tears for their mommy is beyond me. Their lives are flashing before their eyes as they look death in the face in that situation. No one can take anything away from them and say they are cowards. it takes a brave man to put himself in that situation. It's really sad that they are put in those boots for what amounts to nothing more than the continuation of manifest destiny.

If you still can't see it, america is the aggressor in this war, and it started way before 9/11. It's just plain silly that young men are over there risking their lives over shit that has nothing to do with them. How long does this shit need to go on before it's realized it's just another Vietnam? BRING THE TROOPS HOME.
