    I have never cried in my life. In not gonna watch the video becaus I'm on my iPhone laying in bed, but the idea reminds mr of when I was in Iraq, I had a friend come back from his mid tour leave and he wa telling me about the touching reunion with his wife an 2 yr old daughter, he told me all the great things he did with his family and how much he loves them.... The next morning he was killed when a dump truck with 10k pounds of explosives dentonated next to his vehicle. Really sad day for me. For those that don't have remorse for soldiers, that's fine. Just rememeber tho, if we didnt voulenteer, you would be forced to do it. Same with fire fighters and police. I hate when people say that fire fighters know their risk, so they don't feel bad when they die ... I'd love to see someone put out their own house fire

      not so emotional to me. for me being anarchist this was complete waste of time. hoped though i'll see those good looking milf and gf but couldn't catch em either. politics aside, being a soldier was their choice.

      Check this one:

      the picture in 2:22 i find most disturbing. being there and directly or not causing that stuff would eat me alive. and God bless you Americans for you do not know how happy you are not having more shit from your veterans for they have seen horror. PTSD is heavy stuff. those in the video biggamer3 provided however aren't so heavy. so pay some fukkin respect to a veteran of any war.

        Good video.

        Funny thought that aside from being happy to see the wife and kids...everyone's just excited to put on clothes with color again...use a real bathroom and not have to carry their fukkin' weapon around 24/7.....good times!

                I realized this video is sexist and childist

                why?

                Ask yourself why 100% of the subjects are women and children running to 99% men. Men only want to surprise women and children to make them seem weak and subserviant, while the men stand there strong and stoic like a hero. They do not want to surprise other men as that runs the risk of making men look weak for being emtional

                Yet another sick ploy by the men of our patriarchical capitalist sexist soceity

                    The sentiment is good but you have to remember where you are. At SBR most posters could watch a 10 minute video of people curb stomping puppies and not bat an eyelash as long as points are being given away.

                      Tears were rolling down my cheeks, pal. Watching those kids.....wow. That right there is what its all about.

                      Please let me know what points you owe to those who didn't tear up, I'd like to split them with you.

                          Never came close to crying, but pisses me off that so many join the military industrial complex without good reasoning, even worse that millions of others suffer because of their bad decisions to support such tyranny by joining the armed forces. Most do it because they either have no future or they think that its for a greater cause, which is the most sad part of it all.

                            Your not one of those narrow minded ***** are you ? You talk about the people who have been hurt by people joint the military ... You obviously do slot of research then, right ? I mean, your bot just talking out your ass or anything. Obviously you know about all the planned attacks on U.S.
                            And British subways that were broken up to due to our military gathering the intel on them while in Iraq and Afghanastan. Do you live in a big city ? You could have been one of those lives saved ... That makes your comments both ironic and sad. Secondly ... If people didn't join the military, there would be a draft and we would have an army full of people who were not mentally and physically tough enough to fight in a war and the death toll would be even higher.

                                  That is horrible. Iraq is not a hood place for kids. The local iraqi families are very close, however, the terror cells have been known to strap explosives to children. The worst case I have seen was they would put bombs in a baby carriage with a Babur and leave it by itself, when a soldier came to Check on the baby, they would blow it up killing soldier and baby. We have also raided cells and found that they keep young boys around for "entertainment". SOne children were harmed during the initial invasion, it's infourtunate, but it's war. Has far a wars go, the civilian population that have been hurt by American forces has been pretty low. Alot of the injured civilian pics that you see are a direct result from suicide bombings. These groups try and control their population with terror and attack civilians more then they attack troops. When I wa there, we got called to bombing in a crowded cafe that killed almost 100 people. It was on CNN and everything. Really horrible scene.

                                          I was hoping for points, but this video is truly sad for those men and women who never had the opportunity to come back home.
                                          RIP to the ones who never came back and thanks for your support.

                                            There is no need to join the army. The US can kill anyone at anytime, with drone attacks, CIA, Covert OPs with navy seals, etc. Unless u are Chuck Norris, dont join the army.

                                              these are training videos for cyborgs like me. If I dont want to puke watching one I get reprogrammed.
                                              So obviously no tears....keep your points.

                                              EDIT: but to show I was once human, this made be a little misty when I was 10 or so....

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

The local iraqi families are very close, however, the terror cells have been known to strap explosives to children. The worst case I have seen was they would put bombs in a baby carriage with a Babur and leave it by itself, when a soldier came to Check on the baby, they would blow it up killing soldier and baby. We have also raided cells and found that they keep young boys around for "entertainment". SOne children were harmed during the initial invasion, it's infourtunate, but it's war. Has far a wars go, the civilian population that have been hurt by American forces has been pretty low. Alot of the injured civilian pics that you see are a direct result from suicide bombings. These groups try and control their population with terror and attack civilians more then they attack troops. When I wa there, we got called to bombing in a crowded cafe that killed almost 100 people. It was on CNN and everything. Really horrible scene.
                                                      What unit were you with? Both of those fly in the face of most SOPs of any command I've seen. Most get trained up to stay out of any direct family issues not related to a cordon and search mission and QRF's are used for troop involved incidents and not civilian unless used as a blocking force or some other indirect assistance to the local police.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?
