and considering that some chose to die shouldn't we be more worried about the ones that wanted to live?

I watched the video, just can't justify for myself leaving these little kids home risking your life and their future. Who wants to lose their father, especially at that age? What the fuck man.

i don't think anyone who died in iraq chose to die - im sure they all wanted to live.

either way we should clearly be more worried about kids losing their dads

'where there is war there is death", think about what you said. You go to war, you die.

Nothing really heart warming about it. It's stupid to join the army in the first place, especially if you have a family. Kind of like shooting yourself if you have children.

This is basically propaganda to present a good side of being at war, which isn't always true. False hope and expectations.

Also, horrible blog in general:
An old video and barely two lines of text about saluting murderers.

Why is it so special if kids are happy to see a family member that they have not seen for a long time? This is just stupid war propaganda. Learn your lesson US and stop sending people all over the world to die in vain.

My eyes got a little watery (my dad died when I was 15 and I'm 17 now doesn't feel like he is dead though cause he would always go on business trips and come back home for a few months then leave again. Anyways It's crazy thinking that in that moment those kids don't care about anything happening and overcome with that much joy. It was pretty touching.

Who cares what kind of propaganda keep that out of here the people who are going WANT to go over to protect their homeland's. You will find less than 5% who don't want to go over. If you can't support your military in a war no civilian wants than you really need to re-think your thoughts.

They risk their lives fighting in a war so YOU don't have to go. These men and women deserve the biggest respect in the world. Especially the ones that have lost their lives I may not support the war but i 100% support the troops going over for me.

The ones who go over are great people for the most part. Iraq/Afghan soldiers my heart also goes out to them. In the end no one wants war. The people who sit in front of their computers all day need to show some respect. They do an amazing thing out there.

Also XsebT don't try to moderate report this thread if you deem it a "bad thread" don't moderate yourself it's disrespectful. I don't pay attention to the youtube thread because most of it is garbage anyways. Besides I also noted their wouldn't be much content in the OP itself because the video speaks for itself.

God, I hate this kind of spiteful idiocy. War propaganda? No, war propaganda is showing heroes being decorated in medals, receiving parades of glory, war itself being honored. You are sadly blinded if you confuse the honoring of war with this. It's a celebration of a moment that represents pure elation, the closest representation of hopes fulfilled, ultimate fears repudiated - not over war, but over the reunion of families. If anything it indicts war; these people are ones leaving war. It's most certainly not about war, the only significance that war plays is that it emphasizes that reunion the more since not only where they apart for so long, but that very may well have lost their loved ones forever.

"Why is it so special if kids are happy to see a family member that they have not seen for a long time?" - the fact that you have to ask this shows how sadly and/or myopically you do not understand the real point.

I have a strange feeling that a lot of the people here are just trolling.

Anyways, for those of you condemning our soldiers as murderers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Saddam_Hussein's_Iraq. That's what they stopped.

The main problem is that Bush didn't handle the cleanup nicely, the Shiites still want power even though they are the minority, and the Sunnis hate the Shiites because of everything that Saddam has done to them.
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

Both of you, thank you. Some of the posts in this thread just made me sad.. "saluting murderers"? Really?

I can understand that people can't stand the United States. And I can especially understand people greatly opposing this war, which seems to be going nowhere. But saying this is war propaganda is pure comedy, and making that statement shows that you don't understand the point.

Also: sorry to mod's for reporting hifriend's post haha, I completely misread it at first and thought he said something completely different than what he actually did. Sadly, he makes a good point :/
