My anti-military thread..

cant retort to video, all embedded videos are blocked by a proxy i use for this site ever since i started getting malware flags like a year ago heh

yes the RoE are simply absurd in restrictiveness, but like all things in life there are some exceptions where people go full retard.

between mandatory call outs (native translators making people in a village or compound aware of us coming and that we mean no harm) as our forces approach to having to treat combat casualties (even enemies during a fire fight) really puts soldiers in danger while conducting operations

I have been in about 6 fire fights and every single one was reactive to being fired upon after a loud call out, and even verbal warnings to desist firing upon NATO forces

The video is Collateral Murder, an annotated and edited version of the video Bradley Manning gave to Wikileaks, and for which he is being "charged with a number of offenses, including communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source and aiding the enemy." The video is shot from the perspective of an apache while they gleefully murder reuters employees and shoot at a van full of children.

Try telling that to a mother whose bloody child is limp in her arms. You try telling her that it was the individual soldiers responsibility, and that the US as a whole has nothing to do with it. Tell it to the child who will grow up fatherless and on the streets because some gung ho fuck thought his cellphone was a weapon. You tell them it had nothing to do with you buddy.

You're a cog in the machine, as am I, and that makes us culpable for the woes of the machine.

To deny that is inhuman.

i grew up without a father and it had nothing to do with soldiers or conflict its called life situations that are unfair happen

children get hit by cars every day and die and you could consider that unfair as well and i guess you could hold the driver responsible technically, but honestly mistakes happen when human elements are involved in anything in life

you are trying to hold an organization, run and created by human beings to a standard that is above humanity in general
