Is This What Our Troops Are There For?

I am iin 100% support for our troops. I want them home actually.

I did however stumble across this video. IF this is authentic and I have every reason to believe it is. I am a little bit disgusted at what happened here.

I apologize in advance if this has already been posted.

Yeah. This was first posted here back in Nov. of last year.

Here's the original thread:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

While those in the vehicle are apparently amused by what their doing, I would have to liken them to those who would taunt a dog with a bone.

In the case of taunting a dog though, the dog sometimes gets the bone ... to include a bit of the hand of the one taunting them. Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen in the case of the Iraqi children.

Despite the fact it was already posted, tis good to bring it to light again. There are a few bad apples in the barrel that seem to truly enjoy the other side of being in Iraq.

Unfortunately, these things happen all too often.

There are so many stories of troops, they just go into Iraqi house, and they kill everybody there.

Like the media frenzy with Haditha, contrary to the spin, those are not isolated incidents. Most stories like this do not make it to mainstream, but when they do, most people shrug it off, even worse, they will say there is a bias towards the negative side of the war, when the complete opposite is true.

They dont tell you half of the things that goes on there, they dont even show you the number of coffins of dead troops coming home, because then youd realize its alot more than they are telling you.

No. No they don't, LightWorker13. The 6 o'clock sNEWze, that is. What's worse is that What they don't show goes Both ways. The bad AND the good. Neither one is afforded the time necessary. Sadly, I think you're more than aware of which aspect garners blurb-like attention.

Hey!? It's true. I saw it on TV.

Yea Paris Hilton fiasco, how entertaining...

Worst of all, the Crooked News Network and other such conglomerates know that people dont care, they know those stories dont get near as much ratings as real stuff, they know that they get more emails by far about important stuff they do about these things, but they still do it, its for programming, thats all, pure mindwashing.

They will never tell you, ever, that illegal immigrants make up 30% percent of the ground forces in Iraq. Oh but they not illegal now, cuz they are granted full citizenship upon joining the army.

So for all you illegals out there who want to come into the country, all you have to do is join the army, and youll get in. All itll cost you is your life maybe, as they are desperate to fill their quotas with anyone, thats why they are letting criminals and sex offenders and rapists out of prison so they can join the army, I mean the news even talked about that.

And we wonder why there are so many atrocities over there, cuz your sending ignorant crooks over there, for the most part. Yea sure there are many who are good and who think theyre doing good for the country and the Iraqis, but that doesnt hide the fact that many troops are just as corrupt as the people who send them there.

yea...those troops with the water bottle only had one left..so they made the children race for it and the winner got the water. Old news move on stop making American Troops look bad. As said before there is a few bad ones in the bunch, but these men did nothing wrong.

There have been people like this in every war since the Trojan war. I'm sorry, but this is old news.

I cant even blame the soldiers for stuff like this, yes it morally incorrect, but at the same time, most of the guys out there seen some stuff they wish they hadn't. Cases like this its probably the only time they get to laugh.

Their demeanor said it all, they enjoyed it when the kid who ran all the way for the water didn't even get it, they laughed at them. It's not like it was a crime, but it certainly wasn't done in good taste.
