WikiLeaks Preparing to Release Video of U.S Massacre in Afghanistan; worse then previous
356 replies, posted
I find the term massacre highly misleading. While I think what happened with the Apache pilot was tragic and deserving of a court martial, it's not like some kill squad herded a bunch of civilians into an alley with the intent of killing them.
wikileaks go power mode!
This is just sick.
Iceland really is an awesome country, sticking two fingers up at anything that stops freedom. The language and country itself is also beautiful.

and boyo, the collateral damage is unusually high[/QUOTE]
Compared to any war of comparable size, not really
What people seem to fail to understand is that this is not a mere battlefield, the battle takes place in cities populated by citizens, and insurgents and the like use that to their advantage.
[QUOTE=acds;22794569]And you can't understand sarcasm.[/QUOTE]
I can, but i guess you can't, everything i said was a joke.
The video is just so sick!

What the fuck is your avatar?
A cut wrist obviously
I'm not going to lie and say that the soldiers are jut doing their jobs and what not, but it's stupid to base the actions of a few bad eggs and apply that to the rest of the military.

you do realise insurgents ARE civilians, right?
Technically, sure.

Unfortunately, when they become insurgents, they separate themselves from the peaceful citizens.

The American's shouldn't drive them to that then.
Most of you guys act like, you have no idea what the military is like. Yes, there is people who do some bad stuff in it, but thats such a small percent. Trying to make the United States look like some Evil Empire because of these people is beyond me. It would be like saying, since those two kids shot up the columbine school, then that means everyone that is part of the school is bad. You guys just have to understand what the military is like, because I can guess most of you have never been in it or have never had immediate family in it. The way the world works in that branch is nothing like it is here. I can't say that there isn't going to be soldiers that kill innocent lives. And I can't say there isn't going to be people who try to cover it up. I can say that most of those innocent lives taken my soldiers were not intentional. And as much as we can debate this, whats done is done.

Yeah we drove them into insurgency because we're better than them and America is the best country ever.
I'm not high because I don't do drugs because weed is bad for you and can kill you.
yes yes, trolling, i know
Yeah, we are imperialistic and we have over 700 military bases over the world. Please stop us because we need to be stopped. Britain should be powerful enough.

No only the Soviet Union is powerful enough because they have communist might.
[editline]09:12AM[/editline]
But maybe Britain can beat us because they're "Great".
Basically, if the collateral damage is unusually high, the war needs to be stopped, we are imperialistic and evil, please stop us.
