The point is that US soldiers, when side by side, would rather kill someone that doesn't see things their way than do the right thing. That's what it has come down to - we are the US, we kill anyone who disagrees with how we want to do things. The sad part is that any one of those soldiers, alone, would be brought to tears by a video like this and seriously consider leaving the army.
But the guy goes back, sees his friends, and he's TOO AFRAID to tell them what he REALLY THINKS of what he's doing.
So he keeps on killing, just like an obedient little bitch, knowing perfectly well what he's doing is wrong, knowing that he is murdering and not defending, but keeping on doing it because he is too scared of his buddies to stop.
Same thing when black people were hung; everyone was cheering and wooing even though I'm sure lots of people - when they got home - were sad about what they saw. But sure enough next time a black man was about to hang from a rope they would run out and cheer with their buddies, big smiles on their faces. Why did they do things they knew were wrong? Because they were too cowardly to speak their minds.
Online activism is the best thing there is right now, whether you like it or not, activists like Wikileaks have almost brought your government to its knees. So saying something like online activism is weak is just silly, wrong, and the words of an uneducated American. So typical.  |
Is very easy to criticize american soldiers/marines, especially behind a computer in the safety of your home in Canada. You have no FUCKING IDEA of what it feels to be there, and I can assure you 100% of the military goes there with the best intentions to help and make it safe for the people, but they treat you like you are sub-human, their hate is deep, and you have only your brothers who are the incredible people in your squad, and them when they start to cowardly killing innocent civilian and child's so you check it out because their intention is to lure you so they can detonate IED's and kill you, and you loose your brothers to an unseen enemy who hides behind women and children, and the feelings of emptiness and sadness and an ever growing frustration, things change why should we risk everything so we get the approval of a fucking piece of shit like you and all those happy fuck liberal and tree hugers who dont understand the situation. I say its sad situation but why dont you criticize the fucking terrorist for their rules of engagement.
I bet you my life that when they are shooting at you and trying to kill you, you will act just as likely or worse is such situations, ITS your Life on the line.
But you would now anything about that because ur a behind a screen thinking your are mr hot shit of morality.
Wanna do something why dont you Volunteer in IRAQ and afghanistan... and help the situation or else dont bitch about it
