It's about some soldier turned into an emo pussy who thought about killing himself after he shot a guy in the first Iraq war.

After that, it's mostly just some anti-war ranting.
Followed by a half dozen replies from e-badasses whose combat experience is limited to CS:S lan parties in their parent's basement.

I've shoveled shit in Iraq and Afghanistan, I think his reply is pretty accurate.

Dude...at least post it correctly.

Here, allow me:

Cliffs:
-Soldier goes to Iraq
-Soldier kills some dude and watches him die
-Soldier turns into emo pussy who wants to off himself
-Anti-war propaganda

Maybe you guys should find this guy and call him a pussy to his face? Or maybe just some other marines? Please provide video of the following incident.

:laugh: I'm just paraphrasing what ultimatebob posted.

Don't blast me for turning his post into cliffs dude. :thumbsdown:

I don't know what it's like to kill someone. I'd like to never find out quite honestly. I know that I am capable of it but I'd rather go through life without ever having to face the psychological repercussions of that.

If it was my job and my life on the line I don't know that I'd feel the same things this guy did though. Maybe he's just an overly sensitive Marine. 😛

If any of you really want a decent account and analysis of the effects of killing someone, read "On Killing" by Lt. Col Dave Grossman

On Combat as well.

I was sitting there minding my own bitnitz, grillin' and chillin', all ofasudden this mofo mosquito started to front wif me. So he was all up in mah face and I told the foo to leave but bitch was dumb, kept hanging around. Then it happened, bitch ass mosquito took the first shot, so I have to squash it, killed it dead yo, with mah bare hands.

True story. And it felt good when I killed that summabish.

This is an important lesson for all of us:

If you do not want to kill anyone, do not join the military.


BTW, I do not know how I would feel afterwards, but if I or my family was in danger, I just cannot see myself hesitating in anyway to kill someone. I have thought and said, for as long as I can remember, that, if someone breaks into my home, if I get the upper hand, they are dead - period. I will deal with the law and psych later.

Excellent cliffs, but you might want to mention that it's the first Iraq war, and not the second one.

And although I don't think that I've personally earned the right to call him a pussy to his face, I'm sure that there are a lot of hardened combat vets who have. I'll let them do it... they're probably better fighters than I am, anyway 🙂
