Why is it when anyone criticizes what the military is doing it is taken as a personal attack on the personnel. I thought I was pretty clear in the post that I appreciate the sincere intentions of the people in the military. But obviously what I was criticizing is beyond your yellow ribbon brain washed mind.

Why is it that when it's pointed out that you don't know what actually happened in this video, you result to personal attacks???
Seems like you Think you have a superior grasp on something you clearly don't, and don't like being challenged on that......
And you say I'm the one brainwashed..... Don't like being called on the carpet, don't post
LOL brainwashed...... Yeah cause it couldn't be the getting shot at on a regular basis..... It couldn't be watching your friends get blown up.... It couldn't be watching buddies go out on patrol and not come home.... It couldn't be because we were tasked w training these people and about every six months these same people that were suppose to have our back triad to take one of us out.... Yet we still had to continue doing it......
It couldn't be actual experience huh? Just brain washed......
Enjoy your comfy recliner armchair quarterback

We spend trillions of dollars on the US military. Back in the late 90s the Gore commission on airline safety against terrorism said we should follow the protocols of ET AL. ET AL is an Israel airline. But the CEOs of the American airlines said it costs too much and all government regulation is bad. If the security protocols used by ET AL were put in place 9/11 would have never happened. How many trillions have we spent on the US military since 9/11 compared the 10 to 20 billion needed to implement the ET AL protocols.
The US military is a complete waste of money. WWII is over. We should close all our European military bases and open new ones on our southern borders. At least this way the money will flow into the US economy and it will keep the bad Mexicans out!

That is where You left the rail. For the folks whose busine$$ is war how did "they" do? I'd wager they don't see it as a failure. Look at Dick Cheney et al over at Haliburton™

You have a problem w a soldier dressing down a group of people they are trying to train, when you have no idea what happened prior to this video..... Being taken out by locals we trained was a constant threat in Iraq and Afghanistan.... For all you know they just had someone killed by one of these guys the day or even hours before........
It's easy to armchair when you haven't walked in those boots before.......
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and you're welcome to it........ But it really irks me when people want to talk down about our methods when they have absolutely no idea the every day sh!t storms we had to endure
That being said every single one of my brothers and sisters need to be brought out of that region, and not a single drop of American blood should be shed again there....... Let them destroy themselves if that's what they want

Iraq was a different planet in the 70's. Women had rights and could do things freely without a male escort. Also the country itself was quite beautiful. Thanks to america its another failed state. They weren't even involved in 9/11.

Ohhhh... So, that's what a hero getting the bad guys looks like...
Flies in with body armour, high powered rifles and the weight of the US military, calls everyone else cowards.

I got the impression he was trying to march them off to gain a pretense.
Seems pretty cowardly sending people off to die with a pistol and water bottle, when Raptors have your back.
