Are you serious with why would they be carrying an RPG in the open, why would they have AK's slung over the shoulders in the open? Is that disputed?

I suggest everyone read Adam's post. I've never been to war, I've done extensive reading and community work with soldiers at the Peace and Justice Center with Elizabeth Stinson, she's got over 1000 soldiers out of their military contracts since the Iraq war started because of their psychological damage caused by the war. Kids not to much older then me crying because they have blood on their hands.

It's the whole system, the wheel turns and they are just the cogs who end up getting grinded down and eventually just discarded without any thought. I really urge people to just try to put yourselves in their shoes. Not a single person here would be the same person after going into combat, not a single one of us. Some of those guys in the chopper would have been disgusted by this 10 years ago, guaranteed. There's only so much the human mind can handle.

The soldier never gets a single say in things when it comes to war, in the case of this war it was pretty much orchestrated by civilians in the White House, the military had to fight for everything it got and that wasn't close to enough. It's horrible I admit and very sad but shit they have guys on the ground isolated and these guys are walking around with AK's in the open, I'd be begging to shoot too. So would a lot of you guys, don't judge you'll be better off for it.
