A truly moving piece of work, concerning the diaries and personal writings of US soldiers fighting in Iraq. You don't have to agree with the war, but you DO have to respect the soldiers - all they want to do is get their job done and come home. Putting them down just makes you look like some stupid f*cking zit-faced teenager with angst. Anybody see the site yet?

Where did you see it?

who puts the troops down?
- Point50
seen the site. where can I see the documentary? I saw some show on VH1 a couple months back where they did spots on troops in Iraq that were musically inclined. Seemed like a pretty stupid premise at first, but then ended up being a really good piece.

You know, here at NT theres always these crybaby American-haters who think we are the next third reich - they think they are so intelligent and look down on us, but you know what? America is always there to save their pissant little bullshit countries when the heat is on - you know, those idiots.

I doubt they hate the troops. I think they hate our leaders and our bullheaded citizens that pigeonhole them into being from pissant countries.

Its americans like you that make other countries despise (some of) you.

I hear you man - I'm glad your on the level - what your saying is prob. true, however these hate-mongers never lay out their american-hates, they just tend to roll America into one giant ball and point at us and say "evil!"
fuck them.

my poor, poor james...didn't you read anything I just fucking said? (jesus...)
- mrdobolina0
people are people anywhere you go. Why is it that in America we can have people that have different views about things. But when talking about other countries they all have the exact same view.
Think about that.

you guys make me want to post some of the emails my brother has sent me from Iraq. (he's on his second tour over there)
- fadeproof0
Clear, much respect to your brother - May he come home safe.
What branch is he in?
- Clear0
Army, 82nd... was a Army Ranger a few years back and went to Afghan.
The part that sucks is he just got married a few months ago and now he's back there in Iraq. I really feel for my new sister-in-law.
- JamesEngage0
Yes, and what was I supposed to discover from your thoughful words?
- Clear0
I first commented here, 'cus of the website with soldiers' comments.. since I've receive email once in a while from my brother... one of the included:
"luckily no one in my platoon has been injured. these cowardly bastards
like to throw grenades from buildings. it is impossible to cover every
angle. so i will just throw grenades back."

I knew I would attract at least 1 hate-monger - james every word that you write you prove my point even more- now if you don't have anything constructive to say will you please get the fuck off my post and start your own, I;m trying to talk to Clear about his brother in Iraq - SHOW SOME RESPECT

"America is always there to save their pissant little bullshit countries when the heat is on - you know, those idiots."Fade I agree with you, and I think most people here would except that statement I posted above rips any shred of sincereity from your thoughtful words about our troops. My brother is a sargent in the USMC and my cousin is in afghanistan now, they deserve respect, as do any country in the world.
It's wrong of you to call any country "pissant" and so on, because while you are stating your opinion of thier government, it sounds as if you are talking about it's people.

And here I was, trying to start a constructive, positive post; I'm not one to jump down others throats, but at the same time I;m not gonna sit there and take it in the ass like a chump when someones talking down to me. I'm just here at work trying to gain some knowledge - it is OTHERS who come to antagonize ME, get me all hot and bothered - I'm not looking for an arguement, just a discussion - I know a lot of you want to fight, but I don't, so just stay the fuck away from me
