What you didn't know about the war

Nothing to add to the video. Just a little counter to the propaganda.

MSM should air this on every channel either before the sports game of the day or during half time.

When TSHTF in the us and THEY become our guards remember this movie and what will happen to your sister or daughter.....resistance is the art of fighting and not dying.

Damn....

Reality is a tough cookie to eat. No matter how much i try and chew each piece, it just kills me to swallow it down.



Thanks for posting.

Every single person who joins the current US or UK army is a psychopath, no exceptions.
Every civilian lending moral support to the troops or the war is a brainless coward.
Nobody said it better than David Icke:"F**k the troops!".

I used to support the troops but not the government......till I saw the film of them shooting the civilians on purpose and having fun for it.

This one guy was getting $50.00 per head and almost every day he was making and extra $500.00.

To me there is no longer a difference between them and the mercs.

The parts about the depleted Urananium is disturbing

I spent four years as an infantryman in the US Army, and did one combat tour in Ramadi. Nothing opened my eyes more than seeing all the BS that we were pulling over there, and watching people I thought were decent human beings abuse civilians. I never saw or heard of rapes, but a lot of people would brag about sniping some poor bastard because they looked suspicious. I knew some soldiers who shot at people they thought were "planting IEDs" but could also have been sweeping their front porch. Several times while I was there we used a tracked vehicle to knock down walls, or break open gates. One time we did this, and the people in the house turned out to be Catholics. I remember my CO laughing one time because a concussion grenade went off next to an old man. I disagree that everyone is a psychopath though. I never thought of myself as one, and I did meet a lot of people in the Army that were disgusted by what they saw. In my short experience, many of these are the people that either get out after one enlistment, or try and get into another job/MOS, but not all of them.

Did I put myself in the position of being an enabler? Yes, I put myself in this position, but I'm going to have to live with that decision. My only way of "redeeming" myself is to try and wake as many people up as I possible can to what this government is doing, and the atrocities it is committing.

If it matters, then it has to be supported.

Excellent post, Festina.

I agree not all the soldiers are psychos, but it is an unfortunate fact that a certain percentage of society is psychopathic, and if they are given
an opportunity to exercise their sadism, they will. I also know of one national guardsman who who not too happy about being sent out there.
I'm sure there were many more like him.
