I made this video in relation to the 'War on Terror'. Whether you agree or disagree with the war, support the troops. Troops are dieing for this country whether the war is worthwhile, legal or otherwise. They deserve our thanks especially at this time of year.
Great video. I guess some people do not realize that it does not matter whether you support the war or not, you always need to support our armed forces.
Altough I'm not american I support every troop in Iraq and Afghanistan no matter what country they're from
Well said. Funny thing is, the largest number of people that do not support American troops, are Americans.
This is what we get for letting kids grow up with absolutely no hardship or work ethic, no sense of what it means to be free.
It was only 200 years ago that a bunch of tired, hungry, and outnumbered colonists kicked the shit out of the mightiest army in the world to secure our way of life... Many of us conveniently forget that freedom is the most expensive treasure, both in money and blood.
Call the war in Iraq what you will, commercial, illegal, what the fuck ever label you place on it; fact of the matter is, it's not our government on the ground over their, it's good hearted Americans who never forget that liberty is worth more than life. The politicians involved may have turned this into a clusterfuck, but the boots on the ground are doing everything they can to make life better for these people.
I'm sure someone will chime in "But there wasn't any insurgents before we secured Iraq, or that Saddam's regime didn't warrant this level of intervention... Bullshit- anywhere there are people suffering injustice and despotism, there needs to be a reckoning.
In the end, I absolutely am against my government for a wealth of reasons, but our, my soldiers are all heroes to me- Anyone who is willing to die not only for their country, but for the safety and sanctity of others is a hero, a legend.
Remember the American Military is voluntary- we don't force our citizens to go to Iraq and fight, our citizens request to go to Iraq and fight.
And plese, dear baby Jesus, don't let people flame this thread with shit they see in American media.. and if they do, please forgive them, for they know not what they do.

You know what, every soldier in this war may fight for his own truth. I hope these guys will return home alive instead of fighting a war for their government. Which is not so glorious and not American business whatever you claim.
Now that we're at it, I might as well post a video of Swedish troops in Afghanistan.
As background, Sweden is participating with a force of a couple of hundred men(and women) in a NATO-led peace keeping operation in Afghanistan, called ISAF. Sweden operates in the northern part of Afghanistan in a province called Mazar-e-Sharif (spelling is probably wrong). And for those of you who might not know, ISAF is not fighting a war against terrorism (maybe helping out a bit), the main purpose of ISAF is to bring stability and peace to Afghanistan.
Anyway, here's the tribute:
