American soldier taunts starving kids with water

i dunno. i think its wrong. but i dont think everyone should be like blah blah america sucks blah blah. notice how we arent the ones that are running after the water? and wtf proud to be a canadian? your telling me that no canadians would do that.. i don think thats true.
 
america is the most giving country in the world. When the tsunami happened some of the first people over there was americans and we gave allot of money, aide, support, and man power.
 
Uh, if you look at politicians in any country you will see the same thing as US politicians. You will also see the same party problems in Canada and in any other European country. Our laws are actually very lenient compared to most because of our diversified religious views. If you go to India, or any other country where there is a really dominant religion, you are going to see a lot more strict laws.

 
That may be true, but think about it, Its because we are one of the richest, most populous countries in the world. And we are hardley the only ones to contribute, Sweden was the first, followed by us, Germany, France and Britain.
 
haha ok i just watched that video

it is pretty funny and not really that bad

all he does is make the kid run.

and that little fucker can run too

 
I know this...

We give more money in foreign aid than some countries make a year. We are by far the most food exporting company to world aid, and medicinal also. Like I said private organizations in the US and the American people give more than you can imagine yet people still label us the greediest in the world. We have a greedy economic system, but that doesn't mean our population is greedy.
 
I never said you wouldn't see the same things in other countries. I just don't want to live in Massachusetts where political views and politicians reign, I understand we have leinant laws, but some laws I disagree with. I would much rather live in a place like the Netherlands or Switzerland where you don't hear about politics as much as you do here.
 
THANK YOU! jeez... people need to relax. it coulda been worse. he coulda like pissed in the bottle, or not thrown it, or coulda called him names n shit like that. i think it would be funny if i was about to get some water and a crowd of kids started chasing my tank. its probably one of the rare things that happens there that is funny to them.
 
Like I said, I wasn't trying to get at you, just the whole group in general. Sorry if it felt like I was pointing you out.

We have been dog fucking you? You have got to be kidding me man. Do you know what the benefit of having us right there with you is? I'm not trying to put us higher, we both give each other benefits. You guys live such a great life off of us too. Our tourism, our trading, etc.

Again you're basing all of this off of one administration. Look at the long term and you will see we don't always do just what we want. It sucks, but that's the way human nature is. Look at fucking China, don't even begin to tell me they aren't doing their fair share of bullying. Taiwan? hello?

Wait until China and India start becoming the next superpowers, then everyone will be hating them because they are using most of the resources. If there are any resources by then. Fucking overpopulation.
 
That's a pretty retarded statement.

We screwed up in Iraq the same way we did in Vietnam. We are fighting on the enemy's turf where the enemy doesn't end.
 
i know i just said it to piss people off

we screwed up in vietnam because people in washington were trying to run the war instead of letting the generals do it. It is kinda of the same because of all of these damn implanted reports undermining the effort of our soldiers
 
nah...Iraq got screwed up be cause the Millitary underestimated a force that was obviously fairly well equiped, had a larger knowedge of the land, and had less to lose then the troops that they were fighting. Just bad tactics....
 
we didnt take out enough infrastructure, we didnt want to take out certain things like power plants becasue we didnt want to rebuild them
 
sweet so much for this thread being about a guy taunting a kid w/ water. now its war and politics and other shit i dont know.
 
No, see. They aren't strong and we didn't under estimate. They just used GOOD tactics. How do you defer between a group of people who look similar and a group of armed people that look the same as them? See that's the same problem we had in Vietnam and it's the same problem we face now. We had infinite knowledge of that land. We have everything mapped out 20 times over. The Iraqi's have shitty weapons and shitty bombs, but you can't tell who's carrying them.
 
"I believe that in this country there are two kinds of people: men of action and all others." -LTC, infantry battalion commander. It is easy to sit back in your cozy chair and criticize, it is quite different to man up and serve your country. This isnt directed at anyone and i am in no way saying that I am better than anyone but its just how i feel. Dont criticize our soldiers until you have been there.
 
no the problem is they took out too much infrastructure so bush could have his fucken "mission accomplished" banner
 
no the people have know the land, you can have maps, and some guides, but the people will always know it better. The invasion was not a surprise. And of course the united state millitary underestmated the force....the war was not finished in six months. There is still savage battles over there. The only place that the united states has total control of is the Airspace above....thats it. It was horrible tactics. Basic rules of war: never underestimate the force, never fight solders that have nothing to lose, and never fight a gorrila war without support of some of the people ( i doubt the americans were very liked by anybody at the time of the invasion or right now). They didn't stick to the basics.
 
the mission was accomplished at that point...but more needed to be done so we caught saddom. then more needed to be done because they still fought....so here we are, and if we pull out now it will ll be for nothing. hopefully the domocrats who now control congress will make the right choices and send a larger force to get the job done rather than pull out.
 
he is, i agree with the stuff he is saying, but you sir, ARE A DUMBASS, you said you dont care about what happens in iraq, because it is far away, and you started off posting on this thread by saying fuck you faggot to some guy for no real reason. your just an ignorant dumbass who says things like "im not in poverty im white" and that you dont care about what happens in iraq because its a different world, well guess what, our dumbass president sent us to war there, so its not a "i dont care because it doesnt involve me" type thing, because even if you dont care about some kid chasing for a single bottle of water for a mile, the war effects you, and your tax dollars, and the way the rest of the world looks at you. now somebody said that people shouldnt judge us because of our retarted leader, well then we in turn cant judge all iraqis and say that they are all terrorists because thats what we see on the news.
 
You're an idiot, seriously. i bet European's or Canadian's don't have their batch of idiotic solders, you act like america is full of idiots and every other country doesn't do anything wrong at all. I hate when people generalize america when they see things like this. I'm glad you're ass is moving.
 
yeah silvermike your a huge fag...bounce, and timmi your also a huge homo and your tough guy antics over the internet are impressing no one, except possibly your "partner" silvermike
 
There is no such thing as 'good tactics' when you're fighting a bunch of geurilla terrorists
 
lol, you have troops out there, yes, but the U.S has more troops then anybody by far. It's not our country, but WE want to help make the world a better place and if you think giving up 300 canadian soldiers is bullshit imagine how we feel. Also, I'd like to know how Mad Cow and Bird Flu is our fault??? The U.S.A does what it wants? Oh yeah, we are trying to make the world a better place we better stop bullying people around. We aren't fucking Germany in 1938 so why the hell do you think we just run wild and kill innocent people, steal other countrys money and do what we want? because we don't.
 
no...you do. Tell that to the 30 000 people who lost their jobs because of soft wood lumber. Tell that to the farms that had to shut down from mad cow, and they didn't even have contaminated cows. Humm i wonder what our 20 000 troops in afganistan would say about your comments. The USA does what is wants and does not give a fuck. I guess it might be hard to see from your pretty forteress walls, and your fuckass media. You steal peoples money, but you do it in ways that are soo sneaky that you don't even realise whats going on.( haliburton and the war in iraq, NAFTA....i could go on) Mi(scra)tch had some really great points, but your just talking out of your ass. Get out of the country sometime, you could learn a few things.
 
Yeah....i guess the teachings of Sun Tzu are bad tactics, or D-Day was bad tactics. A war is a war, no matter who you fight. There are ways to win, and ways to lose, and right now.......the USA is sure as hell not winning. Your an idiot. Maybe when your balls drop, your mind will expand as well.
 
You are right. The US does manipulate many many things so that we gain benefit. While in some cases it may be morally wrong, it isn't illegal. I disagree with it, but that's the way capitalism works.

Look, it really sucks that 30,000 people lost their jobs, but that isn't the US's fault. That's economic globalization my friend. Everyday in America people lose jobs because international companies move their home bases to other countries. Trust me, Canada is not suffering near the amount of job losses that the US people are. Jobs are also being created though, we live in an ever-changing society, and job loss will be much more frequent than in the past.
 
This isn't a tactical war. In fact, it isn't even a real war. Congress hasn't declared war on anyone. We are in a state of "police action" or as Bush says it "liberation", but it's not a win or lose scenario. Going into this there isn't anything we could win or lose. If you want to put it on that basis, we've already won. Our objectives were destroy WMD's, find Saddam, and liberate the people. All three have been completed so why are we there? Like I said, there is no winning or losing anymore, only incompetence.
 
You just made yourself look like an even bigger moron than them. At least they are contributing with their own opinions, you are just throwing around names to cover up your lack of knowledge on the subject.
 
amen. thank god he protected you from those small iraqi children, they could definitely outrun the average american.
 
How the hell do you fight against people who use women and children as human shields? or who drive cars with bombs into soldiers? There is no good tactics to fight against geurilla terroriss whatsoever, D-day was totally different, dipshit.
 
So as the U.S. we should be accountable for everything our bad politicians do? There's nothing I can do about stopping scandals for money, it happends in every country. Oh, and here's this site on troop deploytion, http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/deploy.htm , for your info. I'm not saying everybody doesn't contribute, but the U.S. has the most troops in Iraq. Is it FAIR that American familys have to loose tons more of their brothers, sons, husbands or dads, compared to Canada? Not really, but the U.S. has set goals to increase peace in this world, and as we know, you can't have peace without war. All I'm saying is the U.S. is putting in alot more effort of eradicating terrorism, when the effects will be felt world-wide. I just hope you realize how many lives and how much money we give up for our cause, and I hope you stop having such a negative view on the U.S. (oh and by the way, I liked the whole 'your balls havent dropped yet' touch you put on the end, I expected a little somthing more intelligent from you)
 
look...you can NEVER EVER get rid of terrorism. Get that out of your head, that is a form of war that has been used for thousands of years. Second of all, yes you can do something about having back bad politicians. Go fucking vote, talk to congress, protest.....you can never get anything accomplished by sitting on your ass. Everybody forgets the power of a single vote. You don't increase Peace by going into a war that nobody wanted, and that had no grounds for it. Is there peace now.....nope, as a matter of fact, it was more peaceful under saddams reign. Nobody asked to get rescued.......this war was for personal gain. There were no WMDs, and there was no major threat to the USA at all from Iraq.....and everybody knew it. If the US wanted to do it right, they would have gotten the approval of the UN, but they didn't.

What tactics do you use against people who use themselves as bombs, and human shelds, you don't. Like i said you don't fight people who have nothing to lose since these people will do anything that has to be done . The objectives may have been accomplished, but the war is being lost. There is no peace in Iraq, and the country is not accepting what is happening. The war will be won when there is peace, and when the people stop fighting. It is a war. It maybe a war that your millitary will lose. Another Vietnam.
 
This guy is a prime example of what Newschoolers needs more of. People who are not afraid to express their opinions and arn't afraid of a little arguing for the sake of conversation. People like Puma who come on here and just bash everyone without forming a reasonable opinion just make themselves look bad without anyone ridiculing them. I don't even have to write back to puma to show what an immature, ignorant kind of person he is.
 
No where in my posts have I said other countries don't have problems. And yes, for the most part our country is made up of idiots, but mainley just the people who run our country. Im just expressing our most important right. Sorry to say, theres nothing you can say or do that will change my mind or make me leave. I love America, when it comes to the land and certain freedoms we have, I just disagree with certain choices our government makes, and Im not generalizing shit, im just using my freedom of speech.
 
yea i don't like it either. I am Canadian and I get mad when i see people hating on America. It is always the close minded liberals doing this. They think one person represents everyone in America. Thats bullshit. Canada has our fair share of morons just like America does. Then because the American governement is bad that means they have to hate the American people as well.
 
here is my two cents:

so what if the guy in the video is an ass. for one, we don't know the kids real situation. he was running after the truck for a while so i'm guessing it was NOT just for fun and that he really needed the water. so it is wrong of the soldier to do that, but at least he did drop it.

second, far worse shit happens everyday that doesn't make it to our ears and eyes. stuff that we (generalization) can't even comprehend. Wars get messy, I wish that video was half as bad as wars got.

As a world superpower, America is always being watched by everyone to wait for our mistakes then ridicule us for them. It's just the way it goes. I'm no politician and I don't know everything about the war in Iraq, and even if we think we know everything, there is a LOT that we don't and will never know. I don't support the war, but if I was forced to go I would because it would be disrespectful to every american soldier who has died fighting for this country.

cool story hansel
