Ya, that came out a little but ago. Since then numerous other video came out. Odd are the above vid will be withdrawn from YouTube for being offensive.

Apparently the Army or whatever idiot branch of government with too much money and guns is investigating the incident. The accused marine is believe to be identified and the family have been very much harassed with his public info being posted all over message boards.

well that was just horrible ! That doesnt put a very good light on the men over there but those arss holes would do that here at home also.they are not good people and for sure wernt brought up by good people that set a good example but you cant put ALL of the army marine airforce into 1 bucket and say thats why you dont support them...!!!! my son has been over there to do HIS job and defend YOU and your family.I find it a discrace for you to say you dont support our military.No i dont want our men and women over there by no means at all.But there is a diffrence in that you dont support the whole war thing but not to support our troops man thats a low blow to them as they are losing lives everyday! i also dont think we need to be over there BUT i dont think any of those men and women if they had a choice would either do you?

Idiots are idiots. Do you feel his commanding officer said do this? This is coming to the top because the incident is absurd. If he was eating his mre sitting on his helmet do you think it would be a popular video?

NO he new what he signed up for !!!! But you putting all millitary into one bucket is wrong..I am just a mom who feels deeply about getting those men and women home where they belong taking care of OUR boarders! Not being concerned about what the **** is going on in other countries they will not change and we cant change them!No matter how much money we spend trying to fix them.

ditto.....

As for our borders... get this. We have a couple border patrol officers for clients. They say their guns dont even work since all the good ones are over seas. Typically per tower they may have just one working one. On top of that they can not use it. If they shot anyone, even legally, they are sent off to prison.

Most service members are good, honest people. There's bad people everywhere.

A school principal in Virginia was charged with his wifes murder... I guess all school principals are evil people BOYCOTT SCHOOLS!

megatanman, yeah some people sign up not realizing what they're getting into but I didn't see anyone complain about their son being in the military I saw a PROUD mother expressing her pride, and concern. Our troops are doing their JOBS. They didn't ask to be sent to Iraq. The government said "you're going." They got home, a lot of them their contracts up, supposed to be getting out, guess what? The government said "no, you're going back." That keeps us from having a draft. I don't think we should be over there, but it wasn't my decision any more than it was any one of our service members. If they were given a job patrolling our borders, they'd be doing it as told, just as they are in Iraq and all over the world doing as they are told. Blaming them is like killing the messenger.

Whether or not you agree with the war or any of it, these are people who voluntarily signed up knowing they may go to war, knowing they may get hurt or killed. So you/your sons/etc don't have to. No matter what your view on the war, no matter what the government is using them for, it doesn't change the fact that when it comes down to it our service members are there to defend us. It's a bit short sighted to hold the war against them, or to hold the actions of one bad person against them all. You can support the troops without supporting the war.
