You want veterans of the Iraq war to talk to children? What are you a fucking hippie? Burn in hell, traitor.

but this is a great submission and it made me cry like a baby. thanks.

The few I dared to glance at weire either "BU$HITLER" or, in a few cases, the soldiers themselves commenting on their own testimony. Nothing juicy, just "I got that one guys name wrong" or "It was May not March" stuff.

On one hand, these clips have received surprisingly little attention so far. On the other, what chickenhawk wants to be the first in line? I think they just don't watch it.

The first five or so on the list should be Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Bremer.

before this war, she was relegated to working the second-hand bookstore and making natural dyes for the campus market.
She missed the last 60's. This is her time.

I'm pretty sure Cheney's response would be, "So ?"

quit being a pussy and face the world

Whitewater- that's exactly the problem. *insert weeaboo emoticon for mildly distressed*

I don't think you have to watch it. In a way, I think being afraid of it is part of the message, part of the point. It _should_ be uncomfortable. Whether you're a soldier or a civilian, an American or not, anyone who's human should be uncomfortable. And though I still suggest you do, I don't think you owe it to anyone to actually sit through it.

Also, I think the emoticon you're looking for is -_-'

Evilhomer, these guys are the horror horror stories. I know plenty of people who've come back and said there's nothing to do, so they sit around playing video games and flirting with the Iraqi girls. It's not always this bad.

Horrors in an occupied territory do exist, but they're not always as bad as the shocking stuff you hear in the stories. Either way, we all wished you protection, so you're covered.

Yeah, I know. Most of the guys I've talked to say it's 99% "being bored as hell" and the craziest stories they come back with involve absinthe, German prostitutes, French base guards, and eight o'clock meetings the next morning with four star generals. If anything traumatic happened on their watch, it doesn't show. BUT STILL.

It's bad enough my girlfriend wants to go see Stop-Loss with me this weekend, so I figure this can wait until I'm at least out of AIT.

hey who would have thunk it, if you sit around in a base all day you don't see the horrors going on in the country you destroyed! thx for the info billy

Billy Buttsex, practicing for that job as Bushie press corps officer!

Billy, I believe those are called REMFs.

I don't think anyone who spoke in this clip means to imply that every soldier in Iraq goes through the same experiences. The point is that even if these stories are rare, _they still happened_ and that is enough of an atrocity that every-day people should stand up and take notice.

I accept that "these things happen" - I'm not going to pretend that you can ever have a calm, orderly military conflict where everything is sunshine bunnies and rainbows and nothing ever goes wrong - but there is a massive fucking difference between accepting the fact that atrocities are bound to happen and being complacently comfortable with them.

Ummm... oops. I saw 'Winter Soldier', my mind blanked and I assumed it was the Vietnam Era one. My apologies.

/note to self, "Read description first you idiot."

Maybe watch the damn thing before going on a diatribe about it, you walking epitome of why the world is like this

Really stupid, would ignore again! A++++++++++++

Go ignorance! See how far it's gotten the country!

I WANT OUR PISS, RETARD next time bother to watch the video retard

It does kind of make me wonder why they called this one the Winter Soldier testimonials as well, though.

You'd be a disappointment to your nation if you weren't so emblematic of it.
