arguing on this comments board isn't gonna change the fact that our soldiers go through hell and suffer with depression, anxiety, fear, rage and loneliness to name just a few emotions. The least we can do is stand by them and support them instead of calling them names. This is a really well written, directed, produced and animated video. Well done xx

I feel bad for those American boys. Sure they see some nasty things and do things they probably arent proud of. and they ask them selves why. its like oh right.. our world dictator style leader (at the time) was just making a move for some oil. Under some flimsy cover of 'war on terror'... *cough* whos leader was to be in Pakistan/Afghanistan* and instead when right for the oil fields of Iraq. :S

Soldiers get the shit end of this deal, they go do the governments/corporations dirty work and when they come back they left out to dry. So many suffer from PTSD. I don't support the war but I do support the troops.

Why would they have to mount up when they were already mounted? This story is lame, and gay.

of human beings and their families. The woman who loses her life partner. the child who loses irreplaceable presence and love of a father. Parents who carry for the rest of his life the grueling task of burying a son. It's all a question of power on both sides. The politicians and power hungry Freemasons, and the other side the terrorists alienated by religious beliefs injected by unscrupulous leaders, also those with an only interest: money, power and greediness. Please do not misunderstand me. I have ev

Honestly do not understand Americans who support these wars. I'm not American, I am a citizen of the world. I have immense respect and admiration for the American military, who are least to blame for these wars. This conflicts are created by political, economic, cooperative interests and honestly, those who don't see this are absolutely blind. Do you really think the U.S. military serve U.S.interests?... seriously? Or serve the interests of those who profit from these wars, at the expense of the sacrifice

@breakinhalf The US Military doesn't go to war. Congress and the President do. The military follows orders. Therefore, the US Military is not to blame for any of these wars. Politicians start wars, the military finishes them.

@breaker_one_nine - I don't think a political debate is appropriate for this video, but I saw your comment against "us being in it for the oil" and it bothered me. You're absolutely correct, oil prices are quite high. Demand hasn't really gone down either. This means a lot of profit for oil companies, more money for politicians who get campaign contributions from big oil, and more money for fatcat politicians with oil stock ie. W. Bush. Just look online(it's easy to research) for the profits oil companies h
@raymitch7410continued - have made since the war started. Companies that were able to get in there since the inception of the war. Not saying that's why we went downrange. That's not why I joined the military. What I am saying is you're attacking from the wrong angle. They've made a lot of money of this.

There were about 500 metric tons of uranium found in Iraq near the War's beginning. Bush kept quiet so it could be slipped out of the country. Bet you ignorant b*tches knew nothing about that. Iraq was making nukes, and surely would've launched them at us, possibly starting the first nuclear war. Yep, thank a vet...or just stop b*tching you lousy arm-chair politicians. Go do something half as important with your life as our troops have.

@breaker_one_nineHoly shit is that true?
@breaker_one_nineYep, yep it is...just read the report
@breaker_one_nineBet you didn't know: Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman stressed that yellowcake is not of direct use in a nuclear weapon. “It is a commodity that is traded routinely in the global nuclear energy sector,” he said. “It can be used as a feed material for nuclear weapons if a country has access to the necessary fuel technology.” Subsequent reports indicated they did not have the technology to develop this further. I think we would have had to worry about Iran way before Iraq got their tech up to snuff.

@breaker_one_nineIf you check into this, you'll quickly find that the uranium a) was not weapons grade and b) was well known to the UN and IAEA and was being stored legally by Saddam's government. It was legally in Iraq according to international law.

Stop giving this guy shit. He's but a pawn in a game of kings, and is only doing his duty as a soldier. This man would gladly give his life so that you can speak freely. Take a look at the bigger picture, and give this man some respect.
@sierrafoxtrot1 "so you can speak freely"? Is that what they tell you? That those simple people on the other side of the planet is threating your freedom of speech like some Stalinist Russia..? Lol, you americans are fu*king retarded.
