    Though it is better to watch it all, if your not willing, at least go to the 8:20 (8 minute 20 second mark)!

    Who ever said America was perfect? Not interested in your video.

    Just go to the mark specified. It's rather disturbing to know American soldiers would turn on their own people. The video is not what you think, and holds very important matters within. If your still not interested, I can respect that.

    you could write the most obnoxious articles for buzzfeed and making a killing off of it if you just send these to buzzfeed instead of posting them

    I here these watch the videos threads. If you have a point to make then make it. What did US troops do exactly that has you bashing America?

    Your hypocrisy is noted. You didn't even have time to look at it, let alone watch it. Yet you claim you know what is therein. Such a reply is irrelevant, you could of looked as you did, decided "no thanks", and moved on. Yet you felt you had to say something negative, in turn only adding to the problems we face. Your intelligence is far better than that. Why such an action?

    Instead of being the middle man, I allowed the words to be from the origins. If you don't want to watch it, why even reply?

    I was making an implicit criticism of the way you presented this information. You gave nothing to interest readers to invest their time in the video, only easily dismissed hyping up of its importance that nonetheless could suck in attention from the easily bored. It's classic clickbait, like buzzfeed.

    There is a simple solution for that. Don't watch them. I on the other hand, prefer knowledge from everywhere. Everywhere except the national news media. Only the ignorant cannot see they are bought and paid for.

    Obviously you can't make whatever point it is on your own and then back it up with a video. That's the normal way of doing things. Good luck with this thread.

    It's the fact that American soldiers would turn on their own people. Watch the video.

    Okay, I watched that interview with the Sergeant. If you think that was some sort of indictment of America, you're as screwy as the interviewer. The Sergeant looked like he was looking for a cop or a straitjacket. He was obviously not forthcoming.

    Yes, your missing the point. Which is, American soldiers do not care of justice. They simply take orders or do what they're told. They will go over seas and kill hundreds of thousands, all without caring weather or not it's justifiable. They love not the truth, nor care of it in any way. They are prideful in their oathkeeping, and honor, as Roman soldiers were.

    It's very disturbing knowing they care not of the truth, how could they, when they are told not to voice political opinions, and the truth is "classified or top secret". When the truth should be the only thing they fight or kill for.

    They should be able to look their leaders in the eye, and say, "why", why do you want to me to kill them? And using their own discernment to determine if they should.

    No, I got the point. Your writing indicates that English is not your primary language, so I am thinking that you got your impression of America from Hollywood movies or anti-American propaganda. Your opinion is distorted.
