Heart warming video clip

We can be pretty sure that the comments about wanting to use lethal force were a joke but not everyone will make that assumption.

Go watch that clip again. He sure didn't sound like he was joking.

I was just thinking...When Saddam was dictator, Kurdish kids were running for their lives, away from the soldiers. Here children are running "toward" those in charge. A refreshing image on many levels.

But in Vietnam, we would have (and just did) give them the drink (soda more likely or fruit juice -bottled water was not big then). Didn't notice any of our guys then doing that kind of game and most of the guys I was there with would not have found it funny. Sorry but I don't find it funny - and saying they would have been running away, while correct, is a matter of degree - since with that kind of behavior they will eventually learn not to trust US soldiers - and we really need that attitude to win hearts and minds.
The guy, US soldier or not was being an a'hole.
:mad:


In simpler terms, don't **** with the kids - they can be the hope and they will be the future!!!

I agree. Iraqi's children will have more hope in their future now that we freed them from the shackles of Saddam Hussein.

Yes. And to compound his error, he filmed it. What are the odds someone in his unit figures out who that is? And what are the odds -- if he is a soldier -- that his company commander and first sergeant offer him a size 10 corrective counselling session? I'd bet the over on both.

If he's a "contractor" cum "Merc" I am not sure what his company would do about that.

This has a chance to be another Hajji Girl deal.

tell you what, I personally am not worried about offending anyone who is evil enough to be pissed at some guys for being angry that they were having BRICKS thrown at them

The abuse you inflict upon the English language is almost criminal.

It wasn't the being pissed bit, it was the complaints about not being allowed to fire back, although Geni seems to think they were just joking. Maybe they were.

I don't know how you can say that. Saddam was a ruthless tyrant, but he had been put on a very short leash by the rest of the world. They had as much hope of a better life then as they do now, but they lived much better lives as well, with more secure food, fuel and water supplies, as well as no daily civilian toll in the hundreds.

I don't agree with this notion that it was only by the American invasion that they now have a chance of a better life. Many other countries over the course of history have worked things out without American invasions to help them out.

I really couldnt care less what anyone evil enough to be pissed that I might be mad enough to fire back at someone throwing BRICKS at me might think
 
tell you what. Ill have a "little kid" drop a brick on your head, and then a big huge evil white american redstater will drop a brick on your head.

Will you be able to tell the difference blindfolded?

I tell you, ANY brick thrown hard enough to BREAK A WINDSHIELD would do some damage to you

Anyone evil enough to throw it that way, deserves lead poisoning
