If you really want to measure toughness, we need to get a bit more serious:

Hey. This is to thos of you who have no kids. Try & orget about what his pops is doing & think about the kid. Propaganda, maybe, bull, no. Kid's more times than most are for real, innocent parents or guilty parent, the kid doen't care. He's happy to see his pops...
It's easy to say bull from in front of your shiney MAC, stroking away with your 'Magic Mouse' drinking latte's with your long hair & multi coloured trainers when you're not that kid or that soldier, or the orphaned child, widowed parent etc...
Keep it real...

bunch of desensitized fuckers in here. That kid probably spends every single day waking up wondering if today is the day his dad will be killed. Yeah, he chose to join the service, so it's his responsibility. But I'm sure he's OK with taking that responsibility on. Because his son is learning what it really means to put others' interests before your own. And about honor - for self, for others, for the bigger picture. Imagine the respect this 6 year old kid has for his father and for fighting for what you believe in. Classless to disrespect that moment, even if the music is a little cheesy.
- maybe so. but it's only put on telly to impress the masses. it's still manipulative propaganda and deserves all the opprobrium we can hurl at ithans_glib
- opprobrium we can hurl at it.hans_glib
- we, as a people, are WAY too cynical these days. You could look at it as propaganda...smrz
- ...or as something someone in that town saw as newsworthy. I think it's good to remind peoplesmrz
- ...that we still have emotions. And that good things can happen in a f-ed up worldsmrz

you can appreciate the moment for what it is without crying like a bitch.

I'm so desensitized, I drink my milk from a freshly killed cow.

Feel bad for all the families involved US, Iraqi and Afghani. That kid's face says it all ...overwhelmed.
- I don't feel bad at all, this guy get paid to do it, its his job, the irakis never ask for anything because this invasion is based on BSGeorgesII
- These guys get over extended deployments etc. They're treated pretty badly.Mimio
- The Iraqi families got to watch their families/friends murdered in attacks and their homes turned into a war zone.Mimio

The fact that I didn't cry like a baby doesn't mean I didn't appreciate the pre-packaged sentiment.
The soldier made a choice to do this for a living. Yes, I felt sad that the kid had to live with his father's decision. THIS ASSHOLE FATHER MADE HIS KID CRY.

the music kills it.
Instantly ruins it, makes the intentions of the piece soooo obvious.agree with Lukus_W(man knows what hes talking about!)
keep it objective, just play the dam thing honestly without trying to destroy the natural atmosphere it already has by making it into so shitty synthetic news broadcast.
- It's the music/score from American Beauty I thinkMimio
- yeh, lovely song, just not when its forcing an atmosphere!Hombre_Lobo

does nothing for me, no different then a cop coming home or a Fire Fighter , there is plenty of ways to "serve" the country that does not include leaving your family behind for 18 months or what not

^ just because you support the troops as human beings doesn't necessarily mean you support the war. I hate that there is war. But I love my brother, who is a Marine. Even if I didn't like him joining, he's still my brother. Soldiers are human beings with families, not just someone who got pwned on XBOX live.
- Believe me, I make the difference between the war and the soldiers.zarkonite
