So now, imagine how I feel, being a former military person who gave nearly 17 years military service to this maniacal hate filled machine called Washington DC?
I was drafted in 1967...with no choice, I went. I did not fight in Viet Nam. I was attached to the Pacific Air Forces Commanding General, Lt. Gen Graham. The vile crap I heard and the cynical game Washington played made me sick. The corruption was rampant from an Airman to a Four Star General. No one was fighting for freedom. It was all about what was in it for them, and how many retirement points it would be worth. "Brownie Points"
I was discharged honorably. I still thought America was worth saving.
Then I went into the reserves...thinking it would be somehow better. HA. What a sick twisted joke. The whole thing is about making sure the Officers get their retirement packages after 20/25/30 years of accrued service time...the grunt is there to serve them and make them look good to their superiors. The Military is nothing but a sinister political machine that is basically the trained dog of Washington. They hold the chain, and tell it when to go "Sic `em"...for whatever reason.
From what I saw, I would not ever trust any reservist to uphold the constitution or the law of the land, even though they swear an oath to do so. They are sadly duped into thinking their are defending America, which is a giant lie. Finally I awakened, and saw the futility in it all, and said screw it.
17 years wasted for nothing. Four Honorable discharges I would just as soon wipe my rear end with.
I am now only concerned about saving my own ass, and do not give a flying turd about most everyone else. Why? Because they buy into the propaganda and misdirection of Washington Politicians. They keep re-electing the same lying liars over and over again, thinking, this time things will be different.
When the nation elected Obama; I thought the USA had lost it's collective mind...
They bought into the hype and drama of the owned media, thinking this guy was the answer to their prayers. What they got was a pig in poke! With or without lipstick.
The fact that he is Pro Socialism...should be a crime against the Constitution. The USA was about individual freedoms of choice, and being free of government tyranny. Yet, the sheeple flocked en-mass to elect a total unknown, who could give a slick and glib speech...without asking "who are you really?" The liberals are soiling themselves fearing their man may be exposed for the two faced double dealing Chicago Charlatan he is.
America has taken a knee to this egomaniac and his cabal of commies and socialist's. The good ship America is listing and taking on a flood of debt ridden waters that it cannot hope to bail out. Obama will not go down with the ship. He will make sure he and his family will be the first ones in the survival ARK. The rest of us can all drown, and go to hell.
What the video shows is nothing new. Our military has lost it's freaking mind.
When the USA collapses, AND IT WILL, these thugs and murderers will be loosed upon the streets of America, against the citizenry to keep order.
Eric Prince too should be tried for capital crimes, because he owns Blackwater/XE. Those guys are mercenaries, a cold and simple fact. Now he's working his magic in Washington to land lucrative contracts to run civilian prisons and other merc work here in the USA. Something is brewing...and it isn't a game of CandyLand.
Get ready for it. Prepare yourself. Buy a weapon and know how the hell to use it. Stop buying what corporate owned media is selling. It is all lies. Propaganda. Misdirection.
The fundamental change of America means "enslavement and being owned by the government" A Socialist/Communist nation. You'll do what they say, when, and have no rights. The loans from China had very nasty strings attached.i.e. The overthrow of the constitution, and the burning of the USA flag, with a Red Star unfurled in it's place. Obamanation.
The US Military will be the hell-hounds of war and genocide to suit the power brokers and elitists who will rape the earth without mercy if there is a profit to made. Oil,Opium-the two addictive drugs that makes power hungry men go mad in the pursuit of.
The Petroleum Industry and Big Pharmaceutical...are the evil twins behind it all. It has absolutely nothing to do with fighting terrorism or fighting for our freedoms. It is all about making the worlds rich men richer beyond all of their wildest dreams.
Anyone who joins the US military today, has to be off their rocker. They are not defending us,but rather, are the armed corporate whores of WALL STREET.
Like I wrote; prepare yourself for civil war. Very nasty dark days are coming!
You either fight back, maybe dying in the end still free, or end up being rounded up, branded and owned. Those will be your choices. Decide now where you stand.

I can’t see your video, Put will look at it later, but from what is described it’s a Montague of what sick twisted troops did. Who may have already been punished. So I will reserve comment until I see the video...
But I know you and you jump at any chance to strike all American Soldiers as "Being stupid, Brain Dead, and less than Cricket Vomit". Why do you lump all Soldiers into the same category as those vile people? Do you lump blacks into the category of thieves and murders? Do you lump whites in the category of Pedophiles and Rapist? How about Hispanics do you lump them all in the category of Ignorant and Law breakers? Are all Muslims Terrorist in your eyes?
So you can see my problem with you, I am Veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. I never murdered anyone. I killed only those who were attempting to kill me. I (and my fellow troops) took great care to not target the Civilians who were being used as Humans shields by the Enemy.

But we should remember that while these wars are morally repugnant and built on a foundation of lies, corruption and greed. The vast majority of the soldiers fighting them are the same ones who will be fighting tooth and nail when and if we ever face a real threat to our country and freedoms. Don't bash them all for the acts of a few.

This is sensationalism.
Yes there are bad apples out there I will agree.
To only show the horrors without showing any of the good soldiers doing good for people shows how biased this thread is.

I think the managed media has already covered the angle of the "good soldier" glorification side of warfare, ad nauseam. If anyone has a bias, it's those who profit from the misery of others. Personally, I've had enough of the lies and BS and so I applaud anyone who brings an opposing perspective and some reality to the subject.

Take it from a combat vet. Put in combat with a unit, you have one choice. Kill or be killed. When it comes down to it, it's not about serving your country, it's keeping you and the man next to you alive. I never once watched a man in my unit hurt a person that was not shooting back.

The people who support these lies are as bad as the people who spread them.
You aren't part of of the solution, you are part of the problem.
The difference is that the U.S. puts people who commits these crimes into prison, while our enemy celebrates them as heroes.
watched the movie and am not moved one inch by it. it smacked of anti us and military propaganda. sure there are bad things that happen to good people however it's not like we are out in iraq just rapeing and killing people like this video made us out to look like.
and as bunk as this war may be we are still there and nothing you or I can do that will change that. does it suck sure, but we suck it up and drive on.
