again...to all the idiots...THEY WERE STEALING. You know what they do in a lot of middle eastern countries for stealing? They cut off your left hand. They knew full well what they were doing. At that point the laws were harsh because there were NO policemen at all. People were looting all over the country. So they were properly warned of the severity of the consequences of looting. They thought they could get away with it without being caught. Well they got caught, sucks to be them. Shouldn't have been stealing. You talk about how bad you feel for the thief, how about the person he's stealing from. I dont see you crying tears for them.

Youre an idiot. Don't even try to comprehend what a soldier may or may not do without the camera. You're not a soldier, never will be. You have no idea what our job entails and what we do on a day to day basis during a deployment. So stop pretending you do.

Can we just have an all out world war and get it over with? Seriously.

I know the ways of war and i know this is part of it. But the moment you submit to this mentality is the very moment you become part of the issue at hand, no matter how small the role is.
Us mortals cant slow the tides of war, much less break it. But we can stay true to our humanity and our principles and make the process as smooth as possible. Its hard, but the price you would have to pay otherwise is far worse.

Wow. 'ThisIsJeff' is really working hard at making himself look like a crayon-chewer.

Also, he - or his parents - can't spell 'Geoff'. Buhhhrr.

screecwe,
What's with all the Soldiers are Holier than thou bullshit. Soldiers are just people who take a Basic training to mold them into a cohesive group who will "do what their told." Then they receive training for their specific job or trade. That's it! As far as people not having a clue what an American Soldiers job entails during the deployment to Iraq, thats pretty easy to figure out. Occupy, Crush the citizens, protect the new puppet, and get control of the resources for your Master, and pretend you'
re doing the right thing in your deluded little world.
It's kind of Ironic that these Iraqi's lost their car for theft, yet American GI's get medals for their part in the theft of a nation.
