Amazing, eh ?

Tracers. I like tracers. I like miniguns, too. Mom, kin I have a minigun? All the other kids have one...

My impression is that the intent of the video was to show how our soldiers break into buildings, rampage, and destroy things, not show them as heroes.

The video doesn't show us capturing terrorists, helping people, just "rampaging".

The soundtrack seems to point to that too.

I watched it twice -- I think the message of the video is that this is what "America" does to Iraq: destroys things.

I think if they wanted to show the US military as heroes, they would have done it completely differently.

I think This other one IS meant to show the "Military Might" of the US and heroism of the soldiers.

I do like this one:

"Military Might"

Thank You! wow!

[tallhappy]

And it uses a satirical song with F*** very prominent without any warning.

People who post garbage like this here are punks who should not be on this web site.

[FairOpinion]

I think people who honor the military just saw the heroism and "action", and missed the intent of the creator of the video.

Check out the one I found and posted in my post 10, where there is no doubt, that the intent is to honor -- they have a great soundtrack to go with the video -- not like the other one.

Bumping for later and a "well" computer.

I question your patriotism. If you think this clip is great, I'd suggest your perception of this great country of ours (which allows you the freedom to spit in its' eye) has been totally corrupted by the hate America crowd.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Bingo! But it looked to me, like a lot of the soldiers were Iraqis. So, I guess they're just out to destroy Iraq too. Right?

[RoadTest]

Wow! Looking at that video, I'm reminded that these soldiers are doing the most risky kind of combat: house-to-house.

I feel once more that since that's what the Pendleton 8 were doing, they should be cut some slack - at least presumed innocent until proven guilty. Never mind what al Qaeda thinks.
