Benner Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 This choked me up a bit. Helps to bring it into perspective what the soldiers that fight this war are sacrificing for us. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/80789047/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moostang Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Video choke me up a bit. Like how Nate said you feel invincible till you have a good friend die.

Primera Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Really touching video. Real sad hearing the guy tell about his story of his fake eye with his wedding band diamonds in it. However, I'm sick and fucking tired of people putting shitty country/rock songs over top of these soldiers telling their stories. No, we haven't fucking forgotten. Stop reminding us.

docshaun Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I'm just glad TBI and PTSD are finally getting the "respect" they deserve as actual medical problems, and we are no longer being told just to suck it up and that there's nothing wrong. Good vid too. Def broke down hardcore, prolly a little different for me than a lot of others though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTurbo Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I had a high school buddy die from a roadside IED two summers ago. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the funeral. Watching the blast's is hard, thinking about what goes on behind the smoke is even harder. Really touching video. Real sad hearing the guy tell about his story of his fake eye with his wedding band diamonds in it. Selfish bitch doesn't deserve him, or what he's gone through to protect her.

Jelloman4571647545499 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 War is hell. Numbers are only numbers until it's someone you know. Truth. My brother watched it and just shook his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 There is no reason for us to be over there, period. We need to simply leave. Who cares if we "lost" or not...there is no win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Everybody who saw this clip needs to youtube the alive day memories and watch all six parts, its an amazing documentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 There is no reason for us to be over there, period. We need to simply leave. Who cares if we "lost" or not...there is no win. There is, you just don't get the truth. Maybe you don't care, but when you've spent upwards of 2 years of your life there, you would. No need to get into details about fucked up shit, but it's an eye opener when you have someone dying in your arms and there isn't a damn thing you can do.

No need to get into details about fucked up shit, but it's an eye opener when you have someone dying in your arms and there isn't a damn thing you can do. Agreed. And it's an eye opener when you're on a convoy through a city and the majority of the people come out cheering because they know that we are there to help them. Get them a better government. Get rid of the people who pay their husbands and sons next to nothing to plant ied's,and if they decline then they shoot them to set the example. I may not agree with the original reason that we went over there, but we have done good in that country. We have lost many good men and women, however we all knew what we were signing up for when we joined during a time of war. But anyways, it was a good vid. That 6 parter on youtube is really good too.

Alex L. Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 +1 for watching the documentary about it. It's amazing what the people of our armed forces go through on a day-to-day basis overseas. Reiterating on what is always said, we tend to glorify the war here on the mainland and think of it as almost a charade. Being over there.....I can only imagine the realization that one experiences with all of the situations that they are put through. To the members of the military on here, I know it seems empty to read and methodical on we civilians' part to write this, but thank you all for making the sacrifices you have made for your friends, your families, and your country. Every day you wake up a member of a free, democratic society, it is a fruit obtained from these hardworking people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for everyone, but as awkward as it is when someone says thanks (kind of hard to just say you're welcome, but at the same time what else do you reply with), I always apprecieate it. I just got done with 4 years in the Marines, and my wife is still an active USMC reservist and is currently in Iraq. But ya, just don't always believe all the negative that the news portrays. We ARE, for a fact without a doubt in my mind, doing good over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 You would have to be made of ice to not tear up on this. Not many things touch me like this. Damn Fuck this fucking war for oil. We have lost so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
