I agree with some of the points he brings up, but not the overall scope of the message. It isn't as clear cut as the guy makes it out to be.

Also, why did they keep showing Obama? Sure, he hasn't pulled troops out as quick as promised, but the vid seems to think he is the one who is responsible for the current occupations. In short, anyone can make a YouTube video that will convince an uninformed person to support either point of view.

this is the truest thing since true came to truetown

i mean come on like it or not we're at war so you dont have to like them bt support them they die and fight.... to mak a differnce not to be told what they do is stupid

I think that the video was more to show that the soldiers themselves are no longer supporting what they are told to do, which is kind of counter to the point you just made. Most of the average US population has a better idea of what is going on than the average soldier. (this coming from my discussions with actual people stationed in Afghanistan)

I "support" our troops as much as the next guy, but I still hate that phrase to begin with. What does "support" even entail? Buying a magnet at walmart? posting patriotic videos on the internet?

Hell, I am in total disagreement with the middle east wars and I still send care packages to the marine group my friend is in. "support" is a loaded word.

i do understand and we should leave the middle east its not our fight and im not exspecting anyone to understand why im joining but i do agree with you about the support thing

While I disagree with the occupation of these countries. I do think to the future, the likely hood is that the middle east with it's alreasy unstable climate could decend into war. But hey, it might, it might not. When dealing with the Middle East it can be tricky to see the future for the countries there.
