Has Iraq not become the ultimate video game for the troops?

Question

I just watched a video, and actual video people, of the troops brutalizing Iraqis and using passing vehicles for target practice.

Answer 1

There are alot of videos out there about this sick unjustified war and it does not matter who commits atrocities military or contractors it is still an atrocity , it is hopeless and we must evacuate let those poor people find thier own way to civil obedience they don't understand our form of democracy if they did they would have it . Our boys and girls are dying in the name of SHRUB and it is intolerable whew I AM SO TIRED ineede a Canadian beer and a good Canadian spliff good luck to all from Texas

Answer 2

It may sound mercenary, but a dangerous extended occupation of a country with hostile population is often the best training an army can have. The British learned a lot in Northern Ireland over the last 40 years and now the US is stuck in Iraq with the same steep curve to climb.

Answer 4

I know what video you are talking about. That was a contractor, not our troops, and their vehicles have huge neon signs in English and Arabic that say not to approach them or you will be shot...

Not sure if that justifies what they did but maybe that helps your understanding

Answer 5

You are certainly entitled to your own opinion in this matter. But please check the facts before making accusations against our armed forces. These were not US Military agents, entertaining themselves in the most sadistic of manners. Oh, and next time you see some of our armed forces, thank them for giving their time, their bodies, their family lives, and their lives for your freedom to accuse them of things they didn't do.

Answer 6

i hate war, and i'm sure our troops over there aren't happy either.
