Bring Your Own Bombs

This is a video made by a marine in Iraq to the song "BYOB" by System of a Down. I think this is the video System would have loved to have. I also think it's worth a look-see to see how this young marine views his role, his world. Thoughts?

That's a gripping video and if it was put together by an active duty marine, that tells you an awful lot!

I wonder why Bush and Rice and others don't interview those guys when they go over?

'Tell me again, which button keeps my ass out of Viet Nam'?

I think the picture of bush holding a Bible in one hand and a bomb in the other just sum up this man.
I agree Stram. Instead of listening to cheney, haliburton and exxon, he should be listening to our ground forces. As you know I have a nephew in Iraq. He's not happy about the "surge". In his oppinion, they are nothing more than target practice. He believes that the hatred for the American forces is worse than they have for eachother.
He says, in one of his letters, "How can you blame them? We raid houses in the middle of the night, tearing people and children out of their beds. We march around looking so superior in our storm trooper outfits.... We are not here to liberate. I am not sure why we are here, but I do know it isn't for the good of the Iraqi's...."
