I am simply disgusted. XJ and I normaly are a blabbering bunch of dweebs on squad vox. Tonight, after seeing that video our spoken words were few and far between.

I feel like I want to punch something. Beat someone up. An urgency to make a difference in the world. With all the bad in the world it is hard to see any good at all. But I guess if you look for all the bad you will always miss the good even when its right in front of you. I know that kid didnt belong there. He had no business being there. But what those animals did to him was just down right.... I dont have words to discribe it.

I dont know how many of you have watched it. Or are thinking about watching it. After thinking I could take what ever my eyes saw then seeing that, I was tragically wrong.

All I can say after seeing this is that it puts things into a better perspective as to what is really important. My family, my girlfriend whome I've been with and faught with for 5 years about the stupid little things we all bicker about. My education and the and all of the gifts that god and those who have died before me have put at my disposal. Most of all my freedom.

Well I am done. Sorry I just needed to let a few things out. My perspective on what is going on in the world over there and what we are "fighting" for will never be the same after tonight.

If that's true, then gud ta hear.

But I think it's a distortion...

Watching a head get sawed off has pretty much nothing to do with enlightenment of any kind. Even though your rage may feel like something important, it isn't. Joining the army is a pretty good thing to do. Joining the army because this video made you sick isn't.

You watched it as one slows down to gawk at a car wreck. Now you're paying for it. Curiousity, the cat, and all that. We know terrorists are bad. Videos don't make them worse. They just make you sick.

You're a braver man than me though... I'm steering clear of it.

Yep Nash your exactly right about the Army. I had many chances to go. After putting many things to thought, I chose not to go. A big part was school. I was sending applications to many schools back then. When out of the blue I get accpeted by UCONN here in Conneticut. I dont regret not going into the military. Apart of me wishes I was there fighting but a bigger part of me knows that I belong here, where I am right now. (hope that makes sense)

Anyways, none of what I saw, enlightened me rather, more so it enraged me at how pathedic the human race can be. IF we can even refer to those savages as humans. I dont think there is a word to put them into perspective with the rest of humanity.

I have the deapest respect for those who fight for my freedom. The do it because they love our country. The know that everyone deserves to be free. Of course there is much more as to why they do it but those are some of the most important reasons.

Yeah rgr that - not much to add but this:

UCONN rocks. Ya'd never think it in a million years unless ya've experienced something of it.

Enjoy yer stay.

Dehumanization is all part of the drill.

We do the same thing to our own troops. They are conditioned to kill and still be able to live with themselves as normally functioning members of society.

First, you dehumanize your enemy. Then, you can kill him.

It's the nature of the war and has been so for centuries.

I have heard enough about the video to know that I don't ever want to see it.

I made the mistake of viewing a similar scene of a Russian soldier having his head cut off with a large knife by some Afghan fighters. Viewing that really disturbed me in a way I never expected. It had sound too and it was horrific.

Its' unbelievable to me that people can be so cruel . What makes things like this worse than accidents or many other deaths is that they are completely avoidable. Some poor exuse for a human decides they will make someone pay just to make a point. Its so sickening on so many levels it's hard for me to put it in words.

I know a lot of people die every day and many like this I would guess, but I don't want to see the videos.

Does that involve dehumanizing your own troops before even moving on to the dehumanization of the nme's?

Absolutely not. Just the opposite. Perfect example are Marines. They feel in their hearts that they are better than anyone else (with good reason).

That's suprising in a way I can't articulate atm.

Jebus, I think there are about 4 people who posted in this thread that I don't now consider ignorant retards.

(the semi-hijacking people are excused from tarddom)

Should I spill the beans, or let the tards continue to show themselves?

This board is representative of the views of waaaaay less than of half of America, not including the rest of us avid yoke yankers.

Just of the Americans themselves, yeah, they're a majority in here. The minute they hit enter and step out of their cubicle or townhouse, they aint.

Aww, I can't blow it yet. Maybe we'll get to see more of them! They are so very amusing.

I'll give them a clue though - gunslinger ain't on the retard list.
