What cleavage?
It's not like she had big badonkadonks
In any case yes a soldier is just like you and me
Which means they a choice and took a path that I would not have
That's what seperates us, actions

Yet you and other noble soldiers are killing thousands of Afghanis and Iraqis as a matter of course. Following orders and told it is for the security of the US. You will be told the same thing when the time comes to murder us. Yes, some number of you will undoubtedly refuse or resist and you will be killed by your fellow troops, or at best imprisoned. Most of you will NOT resist, and will proceed to subjugate your own populace, and believe the lies, just like the Nazis did.

"Drop weapons" -- ever heard of that? That's what the military uses when they make a "mistake" and murder an innocent person, toss the AK on the ground and there you go, instant "insurgent!" This was told to us by many military personnel:

Yeah, people in our government and military would never actually murder us Americans!
Not relevant you say? It's the most relevant video you could possibly see. The victims on Ruby Ridge and at Waco, and the heartless Americans that murdered them -- that's in our near future.

Originally posted by ShamattBut it is no secret that many Muslims see the presence of western soldiers in Arab nations as an invasion, as an act of war against them. So they pick up their guns to fight. They are not nor ever were terrorist, they just want to defend their home land.
I have a unique perspective on this issue having been an SF Team Leader in charge of a small compound in rural Afghanistan. On one hand I do know that a certain portion of the population views the US presence as an occupation. In my experience I think this proportion is small compared to those who view the US as a stabilizing presence.

I've been told both- that I was liked and that I was flat out hated (Iraq not A-stan). If an Arab does not like you then you WILL know about it rather quickly. If he really doesn't like you he'll try and kill you. It's how things are done.
They do not have the weakness and cowardice typical of American and European civilians- weakness and cowardice like the girl in the OP showed. Instead of engaging an actual member of the Armed Services she posts an anonymous video to YouTube. If she was an Arab she'd be in the face of some Private screaming at the top of her lungs that he was the son of a dog and he is going to Iblis.
For the record- if anyone thinks Arab women don't voice their opinions on everything, loudly and often, then they don't know any Arab women
Originally posted by earthdudeDo you really think that people are going to tell you they don't want you in their country while you are carrying a gun? You guys gotta learn, these people will act like they like you, then shoot you. That is how I would treat invaders. Thanks for trying to help out us Americans, but I think TPTB have fooled you.

And you know this because of your extensive experience with the military culture through service or reading random crap that agrees with your twisted thought process on the internet?
Originally posted by SFA437
I can imagine the practice occurring. I can imagine it occurring because of milquetoast pantywaists like yourself who scream murder like some demented Angela Landsbury character every time a soldier shoots ANYONE.

Waco- BATFE and FBI
Ruby Ridge- US Marshal's Service and FBI
What do the BATF, FBI and US Marshals have to do with the military?

So when soldiers murder innocent people, they're not to blame, in fact it's OUR fault for getting upset about it and forcing them to cover it up! What great reasoning!
Originally posted by Observer99
I know it because of the many military personnel that have had the courage to step forward and speak out about the atrocities being committed. It doesn't matter that every single soldier isn't out there murdering people every day.
Originally posted by Observer99
It's happening, that's the point of you being there whether you realize it or not.
Originally posted by Observer99
You're murdering people for the benefit of the elite. Until you come to terms with that, you're just lying to yourself.

They're government-supported organizations with people in uniform, with guns and tanks, who have the authority to kill people in the name of the US government and the hide behind its protection.
Originally posted by Observer99
Yeah, nothing like the military at all!

If you truly believe that the military is committing murder every day you can take action. A citizen in the US has the authority to detain and arrest (No arrest powers in NC). Go find a veteran who lives near you and effect an arrest for homicide.
I know you won't do this though. Kind of highlights the depth of your cowardice and hypocrisy.

Point made.
You believe SO strongly in your position that everyone else BUT you needs to take action whilst you sit in your chair in front of your computer in the comfort of your own home.

How much are you currently making a year off of the murder of innocent men women & children in Iraq & Afghanistan? Quote me that number please.

You were sent there under false pretenses by criminals. You murder people overseas for the criminals that staged 9/11.
Nothing you can ever say will change that fact.
Originally posted by Observer99You complain about the evil Taliban -- they are evil and so are you. You're both murderers. "Drop weapons" proves that, DU proves that, countless testimonials from soldiers proves that. Maybe they have less rules of war, but on their side of it, you have no right to be ruining their countries, and the criminal military industrial war machine has no right to be profiting off of the deaths of their people.
Originally posted by Observer99After all, as military you are trained to be desensitized and treat people as less than human.
