What are your thoughts on this?
Edit: Vic was killed in a roadside bomb last July, his real name was Mike.

Whatever... keep all your troops in the desert if they like it so much. But you can't babysit democracy in my opinion... not in the long run anyway.

Melodramatic music in the background much?

Supposedly strong-minded soldier nearly crying much?

Irrational belief in that which can/should be your place to achieve much?

Obliviousness to the patronising nature of 'setting up' somebody else's government and indeed nation much?

Obliviousness to the desire of the Iraqis to see the coalition driven from their soil much?

Disrespect for the sovereign will of Iraq much?

Doesn't Iraq have a government, army and police force?

Post-traumatic stress disorder much?

Team America World Police much?

Sentimental bullshit much?

GROW UP AND GO FUCKING HOME. Or else apply for Iraqi citizenship and continue your crusade.

PS Sadr's militia is peopled with Iraqis. He says he wants to root out the terrorists - did that mean he wanted to disenfranchise the sizeable mass of people who support Sadr and that have elected his representatives to the IRAQI GOVERNMENT?

PPS Sean Hannity lol.

I wonder what our erstwhile colleague Gunslinger would say to this guy? A soldier is supposed to obey orders. If the government says you ship out, you ship out. Whining like a baby = fail. Your government failed you for needlessly sending you there in the first place.

I understand your viewpoint, Cam, but let's face it...  We have a lot of bases in Iraq.  It's not like we're just going to leave tomorrow.

This is probably going to be like a lot of other conflicts we've had.  We'll keep a certain amount of troops in Iraq for the long haul.

The real question will be how long we'll maintain current troop levels.  Drawing down levels to their necessary minimums would take something like 15 months.  I'm not even sure if that process has begun yet.

Well all of them have to be out by 2011.

Um the video was posted on you tube April 27, 2007. Hasn't things, I don't know changed since then?

And since when does one man's experience and thoughts count for the entire military's thoughts and views on something?

Hmm...  We should definitely get started now then.  Emptying out the bases is gonna be a bitch.

I also find in rather ironic that everyone who says if we leave now all those lives would be wasted but they'll would rather have more troops go to die.

I started watching that, saw the bit about 'traitors' and showing Pelosi and Reid, and it promptly needed to buffer, so I left it at that. I'm assuming the rest was similar crap.

Correct... biased, badly edited horseshit.

Beyond the obvious flaws in the actual making of the film itself Cam sums up the many fundamental flaws in the logic of the film's central argument.
