I don't think wikileaks existed when the Iraqi army was there.
Fuck beaten to it.
[quote]At 5pm EST Friday 22nd October 2010 WikiLeaks released the largest classified military leak in history. The 391,832 reports ('The Iraq War Logs'), document the war and occupation in Iraq, from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2009 (except for the months of May 2004 and March 2009) as told by soldiers in the United States Army. Each is a 'SIGACT' or Significant Action in the war. They detail events as seen and heard by the US military troops on the ground in Iraq and are the first real glimpse into the secret history of the war that the United States government has been privy to throughout.
The reports detail 109,032 deaths in Iraq, comprised of 66,081 'civilians'; 23,984 'enemy' (those labeled as insurgents); 15,196 'host nation' (Iraqi government forces) and 3,771 'friendly' (coalition forces). The majority of the deaths (66,000, over 60%) of these are civilian deaths.That is 31 civilians dying every day during the six year period. For comparison, the 'Afghan War Diaries', previously released by WikiLeaks, covering the same period, detail the deaths of some 20,000 people. Iraq during the same period, was five times as lethal with equivallent population size.

Also, there are no names in the Iraq documents.

[QUOTE=markg06;25585230]Well the rest of the coalition forces don't seem to have A-10s strafing friendlies or having kill squads.[/QUOTE]
The US provides the vast majority of the air support for the coalition, so the vast majority of friendly fire is going to be from US fighters. It's statistics, not a policy.

Not at all, I can understand you being mad about some of the things our military does, but it's war and accidents and shit does happen, but if you look at the mainland it really ain't that bad

I, too, used to worry about the well-being of my underlings, but then I said, "screw it," and I manned the fuck up, and he should, too.
At least not where I live, so you know...my experience could be different from other's, but the USA is no different from any other country, their bad things are just more known about because they are the most important country

Then that's just some places, to be honest you can't judge all of the United States at once, or a lot of countries because they are very mixed, and the USA is a prime example of different cultures and just plain being different from eachother overall.

I'm American, I'm in the US Air Force, and I can still agree to that. Although, Americans have also been some of the nicest people I've met. It really depends on where you look.
Minnesota for example.. I grew up in a city with 56,000 people, often travelling to where our farmland was 3 hours southwest to a town of 100 people. It's courtesy to wave on the highway in the small town and that type of area. I go back to the big city, and do it and people look at me like I just killed their dog. Why? I waved. ...and smiled. ..That's it.
I've seen cars get wrapped around a pole from them crashing and not one person stop, including my parents at the time. My friend pulls over on the side of the road in the rural area, 7 people asked him if he was ok.
Some, meaning a lot, of Americans are complete dicks. But there are a lot who aren't. Sadly America's diversity also applied to morals.. and many don't have them.

Mob mentality and cultural differences, in a rural area communities feel a lot closer than in big cities where no one cares about random people, but I'm sure they're nice people normally.
[QUOTE=The golden;25605836]The people that come here are from the Northern/Eastern states. That pretty much just leaves the south, which is a dump. Also, lol at the "mixed" culture. You guys still have mosque/church/holybook burnings, and the racism towards Mexicans. Don't think that just because I don't live there that I don't know what's going on.[/QUOTE]
We do have a mixed culture, we do have assholes that don't like nobody no how but that doesn't mean we're all racist, and like I said you can't judge all of the USA
And come on, we do have a mixed culture, we have every race ever in our country

[QUOTE=The golden;25606040]When I come home in the evening and open up a news source and click on "World News", why is it always full of bullshit that is happening in the USA? I next to never see this kind of shit happening in Sweden or Norway.[/QUOTE]
Because they're like 20x smaller than us combined
[QUOTE=The golden;25606170]So? That does not mean they can't have racist movements and schools dropping textbooks in favor of religious ones, like the states.[/QUOTE]
Because they have a lot less people than us, they have an obviously smaller amount of racist and stuff, and to be quite honest why would you care about what happens in Norway/Sweden over the USA (from a news site point of view anyway)? Oh and the fact that their culture is totally different from our's is a contributing factor to their lack of mass racist movements

I'm pretty sure at least one of those Scandinavian countries was banning burquas. Smaller countries also tend to avoid the urban decay and corruption of big cities or social stagnation of isolated regions.

'Quite frankly, Americans are some of the rudest people I've met.' Stop pulling things out of context to try to prove a point. The whole argument was on whether or not Americans were the 'worst' people.
