^ No, you're an ignorant AMERICAN. The government DOES initiate and carry out all military operations, indirectly. These wars are began under false pretenses, and never accomplish anything more than several thousand lives lost. Only a f***ing moron still thinks the way to solve the worlds problems is through use of excessive force and billions of dollars, dollars that could be fixing things, not destroying things and killing innocent women and children. You've gotta be some dim witted red neck, confederate flag on the back of your pick up, with a bumper stickers against immigration. A cave man.

OP again. I didn't share this secret to start a political debate. We all know the politics of this war are completely backwards. I do know that if you've never been there, had your boots in the sand, with rounds coming at you, you simply have no idea what you're talking about. I firmly believe that what I'm doing is right, and that I am backed by many good, red blooded Americans. The reality is, without war, there simply cannot be peace. This country was founded through war, our freedoms paid for by the blood of soldiers before me. All of you pacifist, hemp wearing, electric car driving hippies can kiss my ass. If you don't like it, go live in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Somalia. Maybe then you'll understand what having a standing Army, ready to fight on your behalf really does for you. We live in the greatest country on Earth. That doesn't just happen. You enjoy your freedoms, sleep peacefully at night without the worry of somebody coming in to kill you because you belong to a different tribe, or a different religious group. You feel that this is a right. It is not, freedom is a privelege. You are blind to reality. Truth is, I am reality, like it or not.

OP here. A couple posts up, somebody said to imagine a sniper shooting your kid in the head and then cheering about it. Do you honestly think that's the way it is? We're all full of bloodlust, waiting for our next kill? I never said I enjoyed killing. As a matter of fact, I don't. I never like killing. But, every man I have ever killed was purely in self defense, or to save the lives of others. NEVER have I killed for enjoyment. I once killed a child. He was about ten years old, probably hadn't hit puberty yet. We were giving his family food, when he came out of a doorway, and shot my machine gunner in the head. He then turned his AK-47 on me, and it became him or me. On his feet were the shoes that the man he had just killed had given him the week before. That's war. Fuck the politics, f*** all the whos, whats, and whys. I don't know about all of that. I know war.

2^...as a previous poster has already stated...the ONLY reason you sleep safely at night is because GOOD men stand ready to do violence on YOUR BEHALF!! You are an ungrateful a$$hole!! War is hell...and while I don't agree that we didn't start this current war, what would you be saying if smoebodys kid walked into a shopping mall and blew himself up and killed countless innocents for their "ideals"??? You people cannot be satisfied!! You want everything to be all sweet and peaceful and then you PI$$ all over the very ones who give you that peace and sweetness...people like YOU are the ones who should be called sick F'kers!!

thank you for your contribution and your sacrifice. arent you lucky to be able to distance yourself from your job this way? i think people would be happier if you were wallowing in your own grief for killing someone who would easily kill all of us. everyone who disagrees- look at your own child( if you have any) and imagine what you would do to protect them. its no different. we owe our lives to this gentleman and everyone like him. im proud of you, and thank you again for all you've done.

To all those who have never been in a do or die situation and want to judge this post on your political or what ever belifes F-YOU!! The jest of the post is that it bothers them that they know that under the right setting when push comes to shove they can and will take a life and be able to sleep well that night. So unless you've presonaly have had to find that out about yourself and coped with it in a positive manner who are you to judge. Now go take your Prozac and forget about that annoying co-worker. Some of us have bigger issuse to cope with..... Been there done that

Horseshit! You have a choice of 2 middle of the range parties, the people who vote, will vote for college delegates. Those College delegates (whom you do not know) will then make the decision for you, as to your representative. Right? Right! I am not from the States, but that is my understanding. I do know that Democracy is when the Government fears the people, but in your country the people are shit scared of the Government. (PR) So come on in all you clowns, tell me to mind my own business, cos you are all so perfect.

You comments don't hurt me, don't bother me one bit. I did what I did, I'm living with it. I did what I felt was right, and I'm proud of what I did. I'm actually glad people are speaking against me, it means that we're not fighting for nothing, my friends didn't die in vain. Even though there are ignorant people, who don't realize that the freedom of speech is not free, the freedom does live on. I've seen how other cultures work, how the people live where there is nobody willing to fight for their rights. Anybody with negative comments, I say you're welcome, and God Bless America.

What should really bother you is that your mind now works that way because it was trained to. Did you ever sign piece of paper saying you were OK with effectively being brainwashed? Probably not but that's what the Pentagon pays the military to do...to train people to be OK with killing, to do it as a response with little prejudice.

You're not making me feel bad. Like I said, it doesn't bother me at all. I feel I was defending this country. Just out of sight in that picture is the Bazgal Valley of Afghanistan. This is where Osama Bin Laden stayed and operated out of when he planned and executed the attacks on America. If I thought it was murder, I wouldn't have done it. All I can say is this: imagine your best friend being shot several times, having his head cut off, then being doused in diesel fuel and lit on fire. What would you do? True story. Happened to me. PFC Garcia, Jair, KIA August 1 2008, Konar Afghanistan. Think before you speak. If you're wiling to die to let somebody else who is willing to commit actual murder live, you're a lesser man than I. I wish you luck.

I don't care what anyone says.. war is the same as murder. We tell our boys our soldiers... oh it's not the same. You took a life. That was someone's son or daughter, someones sister or brother. I killed someone once. He was a burglar breaking into our home. I grabbed my hubbys gun and shot him in the cheast. He died gasping for air. I have since decided I would rather die than take another life again. War is wrong. What you did was unfortunatly wrong. The Government tells you it's ok, you were defending your country. That would be all good and well if you truly were defending our country. What you were doing wasn't in defense. I'm sure you weren't aware. I'm not trying to bully you here, but I think you should know for the future.. this WAR we are in isn't one of defense. Watch Zeitgeist Addendum. I'm sorry If I made you feel bad, and for being so harsh. You just need to know. Our whole ignorant country needs to know. Before we take any more lives for stupid reasons.

I take it from your photo that you are a sniper. It is only natural for those who do not know to question how it feels for you to "kill". Do not question yourself for not sympathising with your targets. They would kill you without blinking an eye or losing a wink of sleep. Do your job, Do it well, protect your fellow soldiers and come home safe. That is all that we can ask of you...any other questions about what you did "over there" don't even warrant a response.

Not everybody in America carries a weapon for self defense. If they did, this country would be even better. Instead, the government decides to make even stricter laws against law abiding citizens, while the criminals still have weapons, and pay no heed to the laws. They are, in effect, taking away it's citizen's right to self defense. Look at the statistics of areas with right to carry laws, and the effects on crime. Pretty amazing.

And yes, you're right. As a sniper, I had to go through an intense psychological evaluation. I had to go through a year long process to obtain a top secret government clearance. I had an ASVAB score of 98. Graduated high school with a 4.0. Gee, I wish I was smart enough to play video games for the Army. Then I could just sit back and let other people face the danger for me. That would be something to be proud of.

OP here. I love it. Never expected this reaction. I'm okay with myself, I sleep well at night. I am against violence. However, sometimes it is necessary. I have never committed violence against somebody that wasn't a direct threat to innocent people, or other soldiers. People against me pray that their relatives may have killed one of mine? Or suggest I commit suicide? Think about that one for a minute. Who's the truly violent one now, and who's on their way to hell?

^1 You sound you know just enough to be dangerous....however, those who's MOS's are infantry have to pass even higher psychological tests to be Snipers than those who play "video games", ie: flying a predator drone....it doesn't take a strong person to push a button and kill someone 10,000 miles away without EVER seeing the toll of your actions...it takes one Helluva man to look at someone through a scope and know that they are seconds away from death...and STILL pull that trigger...I would suggest it is YOU who should refrain from breeding as it sounds like you are a retard who still plays HALO but isn't MAN enough to actually enlist and do it for real...
