Subject: I was in the Marines

and it was hell. Especially with knowing all the crap that was going on with the 'deciders'. My commander constantly beat this one kid in our platoon. It was disgusting and I couldn't do anything about it.

Subject: whaddya know - more truth from the source.

we need to see more interviews of the men and women who have been directly involved with the war - to get their side of the story.

Then, perhaps the pro-war folk in America (who believe that Iraq is being 'liberated' by the USA) will see that war is never a good thing; it is the product of fear and anger....which creates an equal reaction from not only the 'liberated' people but from many others who believe that countries should NOT be pushing their power on others.

Subject: yeh..

the war was a stupid idea... i mean.. WE THOUGHT THEY HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. im not saying they dont but.. unless evil aliens hijaked they nukes and bio chemical weps or evil minions of hell came and stole them for armegeddon. i really doubt they do. the Iraq War was a flaw in intelligence,stupidity, and/or dumb revenge.

PS i dont blame them failing. its kinda hard to win when u actually have to aim EXTREMELY CAREFUL. you basically cant use any heavy tanks, artilllary, or anything that blow up more that 1 square feet.Also when there a truck going 60 miles per hour packed with a ton of explosives its kinda scary.

PSS.. i mean msot of the terroists and insurgents dont even come from iraq..
