I was just sent this video on facebook. At first I expected it to a screamer but it definetely wasnt. This is some of the most heartbreaking footage I have ever seen and makes me hate myself yet feel lucky for the luxuries i have while these troops are risking their lives for us with almost nothing. I'm sure you are all sick of seeing war crap and hearing about it in the news everyday but if you would please take a few minutes out of the day to watch this me and all the troops and vets out there would thank you. Some of this video is very graphic  just beware that you may see things you didnt want to see.. thank you for your time.
 Support the Troops.

Very poor choice of words, you have no clue if anyone on here has people they know in the military fighting for you and I or if their loved ones have lost lives. Im not going to call you out just say that what you said was disrespectful.

i would shoot you in the face, if you werent 8 and sitting behind a computer screen....


thanks for the vid though, there needs to be more support for the troops fighting, i really honestly forgot that we were in a war, i mean yeah i know we are in iraq, but to think americans are dying over their and all that is on tv is the oscars.... i hate american media!

I support our troops but that was some propaganda bull shit. Telling us that we are whiners because we didn't sign up to die in a war we don't believe in. Also criticizing our right to protest set to a country song.

If I felt like the cause was just or needed I would get on board and if I felt the situation was really dire I would join the army. That said I know how hard it can be loosing a friend and I give a ton of respect to any person that will fight for what they believe in knowing that they could die at any time.

I have several friends in Iraq and the last thing that they want is our pity fuck this video.

That was the most retarded thing I've ever seen. Yea, the massacres were awful, but totally irrelevant to the fucking "war on terror"...it looked like uganda and then Israel...and the footage from black hawk down? are you kidding me?  I support our troops 100%, but we have them at risk for absolutely no reason...Try doing some research, I've seen footage and documentaries on this war and all of the troops are opposed to it, and are not over there with the mentalitiy of "fighting for freedom", they all want the fuck out. Fighting for freedom? this isn't the civil war people. How about instead of making an ignorant video about the obvious hardships of war, using irrelevant footage, and instead of fighting to support our troops, you fight to bring them home.

very moving... i always have supported the troops 100%, even helped put together a care package last year that was sent over. it was filled with letters from random people expressing their support, along with a shitload of beef jerky, candy, razors, and other things. i now feel even better for doing that after watching that video. i still send out my ++++++vibes to the friends and family of fallen soldiers.

Who in their right mind holds a poster saying "fuck the troops"? No matter how fucked up you think a war or something is doesn't make the soldiers bad people. They just do what they are told, no more, no less. All blame and guilt for what they do should be placed on the leaders that direct them.  Most of those people who hold ridiculous signs up in protest are smelly bigots with no jobs(yes they usually smell). I want to exercise my right to throw rocks at their heads.

I have the decent sense to know what is write and what is wrong and to know when I am doing something for the greater good of my country/humanity and not for the benefit of a few wealthy.


They are sheep who follow orders like a mindless robot and don't think about whether what they're doing is just to benefit the rich bastards who run their country who are only thinking about the next country good enough to invade for a few more gallons of oil.






They have no fucking clue that they are not helping the world in any way. the war on terror is the biggest pile of crap and is run by right wing capitalists who have no care for anyone other than the few greedy bastards in power who drive around in their suvs without any thought into what the world needs. These soldiers obey there 'owners' like dogs and have no sense between right and wrong. If you support what the American troops are currently doing, then you should feel absolutely ashamed.

Yeah the war was a waste. True right wingers acknowledge that(not neocons). Look up bush before 911 and you will see he ran on a platform of modest foreign policy and strong national defense.

Don't get me wrong, my comment was directed towards the video, not so much the troops. I have great respect for our troops and the fact that they're putting their lives on the line for...us? whatever that means.

Do you really think they're fighting for our freedom? If we weren't a part of this war, do you think some fascist middle eastern regime would come over and take control of the United States? But what if nobody voluntarily signed up for the army? Then there would surely be a draft and I would be the one fighting, right? No. No, no, no, and hell no. If there was a draft, the last thing I'd be doing is fighting for a country who's motives are the antithesis of my very morals.

But what would I know? I'm just an ungrateful little eight year old who clearly is insensitive to the random movie clips, broad generalizations about my daily life, and unnecessary violent shock footage that define the blatant propagandist motives behind this biased trash. The only thing that's missing is Kid Rock offering a free download of his new hit single.

God bless 'murrkah

am i the only one who gets pissed off by this kind of bullshit?

i'm pretty sure EVERYONE supports the troops, so stop with this nonsensical "you complain about this and that, but our soldiers are grateful just to be alive" bullshit...

and those images... sure they were "graphic" or whatever, but that video with the music and the shots from Black Hawk Down or whatever was GAY AS AIDS.

the only thing worse than this that i've seen recently is this new fucking Kid Rock video with the National Gaurd that i had to watch during the trailers prior to Slumdog Millionaire... made me want to go on a shooting spree at the next republican gathering i hear about.

we support the troops, so stop with this guilt-trip bullshit.

you've "seen" documentaries....but you don't have any friends or family or coworkers who are ex-military or currently serving.......so you see footage slanted against the war.....just as the posted video was slanted to make you want to support the troops.

sure not ALL want to be there, but not ALL of the troops are opposed to it. 

don't put words in their mouth.

oh and don't hate on people who think it's 'gay'. first off, the movie was pretty homosexual in the way that it's the same sort of production used to make propaganda films. And it sorta is propaganda by saying that the troops should be praised and revered as higher than us other people. they're not
