They go by order. Pretty interesting.

All those videos seem to further cement the fact that human beings do two things well;

1.) Kill each other.
2.) Come up with reasons to justify their actions.

There is no "right", there is no "wrong". Cast misery and havoc upon your fellow human being, then stand on your soap box to philibuster your critics to sleep.

"the line to suck my dick starts on the left"

I can't figure out who these guys are mad at...the people who sent them there, the people who didn't send them there? The Left, the Right, both?????

I'm reminded of one my high school friends who joined the Marines before the 1st gulf war. I'd see him every year or two, and each time I saw him, he hated more and more people.. college kids (which I was at the time) then eventually pretty much all civilians. I have no idea why he served if he hated 99% of Americans. Eventually I just gave up hanging out with him when he was home.

That first video didn't really do justice to the whole set. You'd be better off removing that link altogether really. I find all these videos where they stick a rock soundtrack over whatever footage they have where they kill the most people immensly disturbing. If you have to kill a man in the line of duty then you have to kill him. I accept that. When you go out and make a video celebrating that fact you have crossed over a very serious line.

I mean seriously if you, as a nation want to retain the right to get outraged by Iranians burning US flags after september 11th, you need to stop treating these videos of various different planes/tanks/soldiers killing people to a hard rock soundtrack as if they are fine. I flat out don't get why the people who make that sort of video aren't dragged in front of their CO and walked the fuck out of the army and into a psychiatric ward for some treatment. I'm sorry if that offends but it shouldn't... And yes I know there's plenty of terrorist videos that do the same thing, but they are terrorists, it's not exactly a justification for it. A human life is not something that should be treated with that level of callous disrespect whether you believe the killing was necessary or not.

That said the videos after that first one were interesting. I can't say it's anything I didn't already gather from friends and relations who've served but nevertheless well put together and a well considered perspective of a side you don't often see.

I agree. On one hand they're angry at the kids that think war is a video game, then they turn around and make a video that makes war look like fun, like a video game.

how about a warning when you post the video of a murder

Fixed.

I can't imagine the stresses of our soldiers and the constant everyday battle of nerves they face. I've read places where people bash the "redneck" soldiers for whooping and hollering and screaming as some building/person/vehicle needlessly or un-needlessly gets blown to shit. I don't think its a fair assessment to the men and women serving who face the everyday bullets, IEDs and daily patrols into well populated areas fighting a faceless enemy. I don't know how I would deal with the rush of randomly questioning if you're going to lose your life around the next corner. I'd probably scream for joy too if some guy who was trying to kill me faced his mortal end before i did.

These soldiers, both ours and the militants have a new propaganda machine and its sold at every electronic retailer: the video camera. Couple that with a laptop and a connection to the internet and you have yourself a worldwide propaganda machine on such a massive scope and you do so many things to both your foes and your supporters.

As far as the murder scene, i didn't see it. I only watched a part of the first vid and said to hell with it. Murder is on every side of the conflict. Ours, theirs, the combatants, the innocents and within the hearts and minds of the people and on the national level for the Iraqi people. Truth be told, i think they've seen so much random violence that many people will eventually become so desensitized to it that their social and personal beliefs of right and wrong could greatly be affected.

Yeah my thing is less why do they act like that (becasue of adrenaline) and more, why the fuck are they being allowed to film it. CO's need to start bexercising some discipline...
