PTSD really messes with your mind.
Bush is ruining soooo many lives, these people will be fucked up for a long ass time..
I think the point is that by doing what they did in the video, they make their own job harder and increase the chances of
more of their buddies getting shot.
I hate to say it (and I'm talking out my arse now), but it seems the soldiers in Iraq are lacking any real support from their governments or people 'back home' whether US, Aussie, or Pom. In terms of that little job I mentioned before about "winning of hearts and minds"... I mean these guys are trained to kill, and it's like they're out their trying to be like fucking Santa Claus in fatigues. No wonder they resort to that kind of shit to get through it. I hope they get the support they need to finish the job they were
sent to do, so they don't face the same welcome home the Vietnam vets got. They reckon the victimisation they faced from their own people on their return was as much a cause of PTSD as the war itself.
They're just kids. Blame their CO.
