I agree.

YouTube - AMAZING SPEECH BY WAR VETERAN

It is an American Iraq war vet, but what he has to say about war is universal. I will try to find a Canadian vet who has a conscience and is brave enough to say it.Cliffy...I'm "video-challenged" out here in the boonies...dial-up! A quick question, if you don't mind - Is the video about a Cdn. war vet?
So let me ask you a question,if you knew your nieghbour beat his wife every night and could hear it yourself,would you intervene or just ignore it?
we aren't in Afghanistan because we care about the people and want to help them.
When it comes to War and other such things the Soldiers follow orders - If you disagree with this hold the Govt to account but to insult the soldiers is only done by people that are less than hal wits and have no idea of what and how the givt works - the Military falls under the command of the Govt in power - They do not decide to go off on there own - also please note - when a soldier has been informed that he is going to the Stan - he has to follow orders or a Courts martial will be the result. And the result would be Jail.
No they are not robots -
You pal Goober.
PS - look up Article 5 of the NATO treaty as those of you that wonder about our responsibilites are always in horror when the Govt ignores a treaty - Or do you pick and choose which ones you will adhere to after signing -
JBeee - i am not allowed to say what i really think of you or what I would like to do about it.
So what's your version of it?
you just googled what i typed and found it what i said was correct and like a half-wit, assumed i copied it.
don't tell me they aren't robots. it's exactly what they are. most of them are retarded and failed high school and have nothing better to do . they join because they want to blow **** up. they're trained to follow unthinkingly into moronic wars and really have no thoughts of their own or opinions. they're barely human and it's disgraceful. there are exceptions of course.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! You are fighting b/c they want u to fight. Dont u think this "Tyrant/Victim" mentality is PLAYED THE **** OUT already?????????????????? Hatred breeds hatred. but down your weapons, listen to your hearts. If there are no soldiers there is no war. the end. its simple. dont mke it complicated b/c u chose to support a system of lies, then wonder why we have all the problems we have in this world. ITS YOU WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. Stop hating & stop blaming. ~PEACE
Not my problem if you cant handle the truth or cold hard facts.No, it will really not be necessary to show those kinds of pictures. They are not allowed here.
Do tell me why we are there without parroting someone elses propaganda off some website then if you can.we aren't in Afghanistan because we care about the people and want to help them.

I can't believe I'm about to say this to you DB, but well put. ;-)It's JBeee's thread. Must all threads follow convention? Especially those same conventions that make war palatable to the victims. If our dead make us approve of this evil Afghan war will that in some way repair their lives, no it won't, but it will make it easier to give up the next sacrifices.
Thank you for that moment of reason Jbee.We are losing our good Canadian men and women
I found this web site - Candains against war.
An excerpt from the home page:
The crisis faced by combat veterans returning from war is not simply a profound struggle with trauma and alienation. It is often, for those who can slice through the suffering to self-awareness, an existential crisis. War exposes the lies we tell ourselves about ourselves. It rips open the hypocrisy of our religions and secular institutions. Those who return from war have learned something which is often incomprehensible to those who have stayed home. We are not a virtuous nation. God and fate have not blessed us above others. Victory is not assured. War is neither glorious nor noble. And we carry within us the capacity for evil we ascribe to those we fight.
Those who return to speak this truth, such as members of Iraq Veterans Against the War, are our contemporary prophets. But like all prophets they are condemned and ignored for their courage. They struggle, in a culture awash in lies, to tell what few have the fortitude to digest.

...can't respect a bunch of robotic half-wits who unthinkingly obey their master and go into a meaningless war without question.
Well put EAO.I know people who serve in the military. Most don't fit your generalization. Some people genuinely want to serve their country. Some come from small towns where work is scarce. Some have families to support. Others its a family tradition. Many reasons exist.
Your post dishonors their memory, you truly have no shame..Holy ****...another horrendous bout of those annoying bag-pipes about to start again!?:roll:
