Who thinks this video of children running for water is disturbing?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zm8LFmxVWE

Check out the video if you havent seen it yet. When i had seen the video i felt bad afterwards. It is painful to see that there are some troops in Iraq that are supposed to help the country out actually do this to the children. I cant believe that some troops in Iraq actually do this. It made me really upset. Those children were so desperate for water.. What do you think about this video?

Thanks for answering and have a nice day..

They probably did drop the water. But still though, it was really painful to see some kids run so hard for it. Yes one of the kids has great running skills.. He was really desperate for the water.. Than you actually think the military is there to take care of the children and try and make piece, than boredom strikes and this happens, what a disgrace!

First of all.. I do not live in Northern America. If you think i am trying to say anything about your military, than you are wrong. Yes Britain has done bad things as well, but this caught my eye because it was also in the newspaper. The video might not have told the whole story, but having seen this clip, didnt you see that the kids were actually running for water while the troops were in their truck? Was that real, or was it just acting? This video has told me enough. Im not saying that every troop in Iraq is like that, im just saying that it is horrible that some just have to let others down this way. I am not going to volunteer to be in the Marine because im underage.

I dont care what vehicle it is, those are troops that are supposed to help out Iraq.

We are different people, arent we Justin C? They were having fun and the kids suffered at the end of the 'fun'.

LordKev sweetie, i didnt mean to hurt your feelings. I didnt say that all our troops are like that and that they are bad people. I only said that it wasnt right to see this. At least if they want to do this they should not video tape it next time, what do you think?

I guess i have to spell out some things for some people. No common sense at all. Can any of you guys just read what i type around here?

Answer 1

i do its not fun or amusing and i see the American troops who are out there to help them were laughing at there expense...............I'm sorry but they re children in a war torn country it is not their fault they have been dragged into it and those children should not be made an example of..i hope they did drop the water and the children who kept running for it had more than just that one bottle..........its kinda sick that this is used for fun if it was the other way round would they be putting it on the Internet for fun..........i doubt it... to all the people that do this kind of thing THEYRE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Not all pictures and/or videos actually tell the whole story. Apparently, you have never been outside the United States and see some parts of the world. All Americans take for granted what we have and cannot understand how others can suffer. If you really feel that badly for those children in the video, I suggest you volunteer in the Army or Marines and try to help those kids while you are dodging explosives being used against the troops.

Answer 3

You may find it offensive, but conside this. Our forces have brought all kinds of supplies to the people there, etc. You can tell from the video these guys were young. I don' think they really had bad intentions. You had a lot of kids chasing their vehicle, because they probable had recieved goodies from other soldiers. You had a few guys horsing around, but I don't think they were trying to be mean. They saw this kid running like a bat out of HeL! and wanted to see how long he would do it. They did throw the water bottle later, even though someone else got it. It may seem mean, but there are a lot of worse things happening in the world and even in this country.

Answer 4

This is life, thats what happens. Yea, the soldiers were having a little too much fun and shouldnt have gone that far but it happens alot. Plus, he was getting the kids to do some excersice also. But no, it didnt make me feel bad, sorry. Have a good day.

Answer 5

Why is it some people have to always pick out the bad side of things??? Why don't you look up all the "good" photos of our military helping and saving people??? Including children?????? When you watch something, I think it depends on alot how you take it, too. And, of course, you would take it to seem we're getting a kick out of these running kids.

Answer 6

There are jerks in the world.... live with it..... Your point sucks anyway... the children weren't "desperate" for water... My question is how come you never see the overwhelming good that our troops do over there and why you would take this *ONE* incident and try to portray it as though this is how *all* our troops behave over there. You should be ashamed of your self... what next... spit on the troops as they return home... fits you.

Answer 7

iam disgusted, u would think some people would have a heart. especially if they are (grown) men out there for help. and these are children, do these soliders not have kids/family, or an ounce of kindness? they could not have been that bored, surely.....i wish i had been there to tell them off....!

Answer 8

Yesm is disturbing.

But that isn't a US military vhhicle, if that is what you are trying to say.

Answer 9

what the hell is up with some people
