"Iraq Soldier Children" and you will see for yourself. And don't tell me that they are bored or stressed! Normal people don't harass children!

Why aren't there any videos of the thousands of MedCap missions that US troops perform every day in Afghanistan and Iraq? Roughly 5000 people (including children) get free medical care from US troops EVERY SINGLE DAY, and have for the last 4 years.
Why do you ignore the fact that 99% of what we do over there is good and focus on 1 or 2 instances where US troops screw up?
By supporting terrorist propoganda, you are no better than them. Why don't you do the world a favor and go meet your 72 virgins and leave us sane people alone?

First of all, its not about being a "Bush lover" its about being a proud American, something you should look into. 2nd, You need to consider that the Iraqi children are not normal children. They are taught and trained that to die for their cause is the greatest achievement they could ever have. The main difference between our culture and theirs is that we value life, they do not. They are just trying to get to the next one. So if you see an American harassing a child maybe you should look into the reasons. Such as most people know that we are compassionate toward children and that is the last place we would look for a bomb. That we don't want to believe that the same children that we deliver food and toys too would sell us out to an insurgent so that his family wont get killed. And 3rd, if you believe what you see on liberal media then you are already lost. I am sick of you people treating our brave men and women like they are trash. The protected will never now the price of freedom, but if you are thankful at all you should at least try to understand the stress and horror that our men and women face every day. Until you face those circumstances then you have no argument. I would say if you think you could do better then try, but obvious you are weak in mind and body, and do not have what it takes to fight for freedom. Thank God that our American troops are not normal because if they were then they would be sitting on their fat *** back home griping becuase they saw something on tv that they couldn't stomache. You shouldn't be degrading them you should be honoring them. As long as we have people that volunteer to do things like they do, your sorry piece wont be drafted.

Maybe if you had a slight grip of reality and didn't suffer from rectal-caratitis you might have a slight prayer of trying to impart truths. Yes, I may be a soldier and not fully agree with all the policies of our government, but just because you don't agree with the politics of the administration doesn't mean you have the requisite authority to belittle soldiers. Have you ever walked the streets of any town, city or village in Iraq?? I have. I have had even children through items at us. Ever had to be concerned it it was an IED being thrown at you by a child?? I have. Ever had to wrestle with taking sight on a child and hoping that the soda can sounded empty as it hit at your feet and hopefully didn't explode because the one the day before did and killed three soldiers you served with??
So this Harassment you sight is skewed at best. The video you see is an excerpt. But please, have a blessed day as I am preparing to fly to Walter Reed to receive one of my soldiers who's vehicle was blown up by "a youth" hurling a homemade grenade into it as the youth stood and spoke to the crew. They had just given him an MRE and some US currency..... My soldier won't have a right leg after surgery tomorrow and the vehicle commander is dead...his family will bury him on Friday.

In my experience in Iraq, we played a lot with the children. Often we would tease them and they would try to annoy us... it would go back and forth like this. In the end we would give them water and candy and school supplies. What you don't see at the end of those videos is the soldiers handing out much needed toys/clothes/water/ etc to the kids.

I'm sure there are just as many videos of US Troops helping out. The media loves negative attention.
Not to mention, that there are democratics still running around.

HAVE YOU EVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE?
Hey, where's the video of the twin towers and people plunging 40 or more stories to their deaths?
ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR.

American soldiers have been too long away from home. They do not see their children that's why they let their pantup feelings on those (children) around them.

Because they are beggars and people get tired of constant begging for cigarettes and other items that they then give to their parents to sell!!!!
