The desecration of morality and human life of this group of young people

Forces: U.S. & Coalition/Casualties - Special Reports


by this group of young people


YouTube - Young Republican Chickenhawks

It always seems that those who most support war are the ones most against serving in it.

Evidently, it's necessary to fight the evil doers "over there" as long as these young people do not have to do the fighting. Disturbing.

Interesting DeLay's logic that if all of those babies had not been aborted we wouldn't have an immigration problem. Who knew?

Great clip! I also love the one guy that said "everybody gets curious about the same sex" at some point in their lives, but you just have to pray about it. A future Governor Craig right there!

The other kid's comparison of his fight for supporting the war on campus to the US troops fighting in Iraq is another jewel.

I have to wonder how long this war would have lasted and what questions would have been asked by the general public if each night the evening news were to broadcast the real film footage of the war. Heads removed from bodies, pieces parts, scorched earth, the real meat grinder that war actually is, not the video game portrayed on TV.

People often say, I wish they would show some of the good things American troops do, and there are a bunch of good things and I too wish they would show them. However, we in America don't see the real war, only the sterilized version approved for audiences of overly sensitive people who support it but don't wish to see it really.

It's so easy to support a war in which there is no chance that you will be injured or killed....a draft would drastically change that!

Now you can't even take pictures of the dead in their coffins returning from Iraq. Don't want to color people's views. Have to sanitize it, make it seem like a video game to the public.

on one hand "They" want "them" to fight their wars for them, on the other hand they want to cut their benefits and pay them as little as possible. Hypocrites. My husband was in the Army for 11 years active and 2 years inactive, after the first golf war, he got out. Oil is not worth dying for.

That Chickenhawk video is brilliant.

Excellent choice of end credits song.

The list of casualties is heartbreaking. And then there are the 27,848 US troops who are wounded, some permanently maimed, emotionally as well as physically.

I suspect that list will continue to grow. In fact I read today where they are suspending civilians to go outside the green zone. Winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people once again.

U.S. suspends civilian travel outside Green Zone - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

I would hate to see what things would be life if the surge wasn't working so well.
