Oh shut the **** up.
I know several Soldiers - and none of them are that sick and depraved they would make children run for water.

The video in question is a case of soldiers being assholes. Wether they have kids throwing rocks at them or not- you don't tell them they can have water then make them chase a truck. Just don't let them have the water.

Case in point- because someone's dad used to beat em up is it okay for them to **** women to feel powerful? A little extreme yes- but its the saem ****ign thing- enabling morons because of the shit they have been through is a supposed reason.

Thats an /thread

Edit- This is not me saying iraq isn't hard- its just doesn't make it right to torment little kids.

exactly, i live in fayetteville, one of the east coasts largest bases ... 3 of my high school grad buddies have served tours in iraq, there not anything like those people in the videos, there good honest people... i showed them the video and sure they laughed but they also agreed that it was wrong and if they were there they wouldve thrown a mre to the kids or something
so all you ****s talking about how hard it is in iraq , quit ur *****ing, u joined the army knowing what you were gonna do, thats not an excuse to be a complete jackass ...

Maybe you two should go and spit on troops as they come home

Oh great, another oppornunity to hang our soldiers out to dry. Give those guys a break. They are over there experiencing shit on an every day basis that one could never image if one hasn't gone through it. I love how our media loves to portray our soldiers in the most negative light as much as possible, makes me sick.
And you want them to get discharged for making some kids run for water? WTF is wrong with you.

^i agree^ give em a break, they get the worst shit possible day in and day out, they have a whole country who hate them

yeah i love these people who sit online, from the comfort of their homes, and act like they know how they would be or what they would do if they were living under the pressures that the troops are.

I'm not saying what they did was right, but come on.. he made a kid run.. WHAAAAH..he had to exerciserz!!2!!!

They shouldn't be there in the first place, but if you are going to make them endure that shit...at least cut them a little break.

Not everyone can be a superior moral being like u.

And that makes it right?

What about as a representative of your country? Ever been a total douche to some random children just for a laugh while wearing your country's flag on your arm?

And you people wonder why they hate you.
