I would expect a little more professionalism. They don't have to weep about it, but they did the exact opposite and laughed and made fun of the dead people when a humvee drove over them. That is not professionalism. I'm sure if they knew the video would be leaked, they wouldn't have made fun of what happened, but it shows that they are treating war like a video game.
Someone else in the military clearly thinks the same thing because they leaked the video.

I'm willing to bet the average infantryman would not have acted the way the pilots did if they found out they had just shot a little girl in the stomach. they would've acted the way the ground troops acted in the video and try to save the kids.

Some people just don't understand, im not attacking the US military as a whole, i just have problems with these pilots and the way they acted.

Its how they have to deal with it. I am sure most of them felt horrible afterwords. A buddy of mine took a handful of lives in Iraq. He now has nightmares about it, and went to therapy. but while immersed in the situation, you are forced to man up and handle it any way you can.

You all sure are good christians, you know, loving your neighbor, treating every human being with dignity. O wait, you only use christian values when they benefit you. How convenient!
Go ahead, nuke all those "towel heads". Watch your entire world begin to collapse. Remind me- when did Iraq attack the US? did we find any WMDs? How many terrorists were in Iraq before 2003? 0. Think of the Iraq War as an insurance policy for Bush and his gang of retards to be raking in money for a long time.
O ya, and i thought Iraq had been secured in 2004 when Bush declared an end to hostilities and "Mission Accomplished". So this wasn't really a war-zone, the war was won 6 years ago. It is an occupation.

You're phucking dillusional. You critize Bush for this war but your God and Savor Obama hasn't done a single thing to stop it. You need to shut your mouth and realize that this is war. Those towel heads got what they deserved and if you dont like it to bad.

You are just as stupid as our current President. People like you propose soultions and dont act on them, like our current President. You provide massive amounts of critizim but do nothing but flap your fat phucking gums and bitch about how a couple of ignorant rag heads where eradicated from the face of the planet. Hell those pilots and soliders did the world a favor.

If you have even the slightest notion of what a Constitution is you will understand why "we" are over in Iraq.

Haha, your too funny. Massive amounts of criticism? where? this one thread? take your head out of your ass and stop smoking that nationalistic crack pipe bush gave you.
And people like you are why this country is moving backwards. You feel a need to attack me personally because I am questioning the actions of someone you don't even know? You are completely ignorant. You think everyone should just bend over and take it because its the military and they are always right?
Please explain how a constitution gives the right to invade a country that did not attack you?

Before you cross the threshold into a room you dont want to enter, i'm going to assume the redneck remark wasnt directed towards me. Just bc i believe in my rights as an american citizen and support our military efforts in WHATEVER they do, doesnt make me a redneck.

Now, that being said.. I never asked you about your flower power butt buddies sucess story, so we'll throw that into the "irrelevant" bucket with the rest of your argument on this post. Because after all, isnt this what you wanted when you originally posted this video? A huge shitstorm for people to argue about for days to come? That doesnt sound like the hippy way of life to me...

And since you brought this wayyy off your original topic anyway, lets analyze your closing statment up there..

When has pot ever saved anyones life? Saved them from getting mugged? Saved your mother from someone breaking into her house? Oh... thats right.. it hasnt. You can keep your pot and your change brother, and i'll hang on to my "God, Guns and Bullshit". We'll see which one gets who further.
