War is not something to grab snacks and root for like a football game. Anyone who makes a video of war footage with a soundtrack doesn't have my respect.

Don't confuse politic with the actual war. Iraq war is a mistake, but supporting the troop is not.

Only an extremist could interpret what I posted there like that. Extremists (both liberal and conservative) are the people who cause the real problems. Don't think like them.

On that note, thinking 3 steps ahead when it comes to the impacts of political propaganda is very productive. Playing devil's advocate without yourself before publicly releasing such propaganda is a great idea too. The overall effect that this video can potentially have on people will not support the positive side to the cause that this war has to offer or the troops for that matter.

I don't condone this video. I'm not interested in how much ass Marines kick. I'm not interested in how many people we kill over there, part of 9\11 or not. I hate this shit. It fucks with people and tears them apart. As if I hate this country if I dont like this video or something. As if I hate my country if I'm not proud that we gain revenge by killing people back.

Shit like this is fucking stupid. It pumps people up for nothing. It generates blind, ignorant hate and relays a hateful message. Shit like this is fucking stupid.

LOL, all the liberals came out of the closet on that one.

This whole thread reeks of liberal angst.

Good job proving his point. :thumbsup:

Correct. However, support the troops best interest by pulling them home, not sending more troops abroad.

Troops are assembled and deployed to help protect our interest here and abroad. To keep troops from doing there job in a time of need is like keeping guard dogs in a cage when criminals are trying to rob your home and rape your women and children.

Support our troops in more than about letting the army languish away stateside. Its about helping them get there job done which is about protecting the USA. Its about providing resources so they can do their jobs effectively (armour, weapons, etc.) Its also about creating movies like this one to intimidate their enemies so that there will be less engagements and less lost of life on both sides.
