  1. Gillad Fide like another iraqi veteran implied on another post, there are always war crimes being committed on both sides in a war by individuals.

  2. Gillad Fide this old argument.  white phosphorus was seen on video of our troops using it in fallujah.  (yawn)

  5. Gillad Fide the gulf of tonkin has now been officially revealed as a false flag attack. also the government knew that the japanese were going to bomb pearl harbor although i will admit that we needed to step up and fight the japanese there.

  6. Gillad Fide you sound really nuts dude. you have a really fucked up world view. the world that you see is because that's the way that you want to see it. of course there are tin pot dictators and of course the soviet union was a fucked up system. i don't think that most usa intervention has had a positive effect on the world. look at latin america and iran whenever the CIA "flipped" countries. even if they did become socialist and that experiment proved to be a disaster for the people, let them figure that out for themselves and let them serve as an example to the world that trying to create a socialist country won't work. instead che guerra is considered a hero to much of the world, the usa is mostly hated and we fucked up iraq even worse then before. its not your fault if you are an iraqi veteran like i'm suspecting. it's the ones who came up with a half baked plan and a non-meticulous approach and jumped right into the chance to invade iraq again without double checking anything. i guess that's too difficult to admit to yourself though.

  7. Gillad Fide (rolls eyes)  the usa is better off today because of technological innovation and not intervening in other countries.  if anything the technological innovation has made people lazy enough to not see through the government's games and support what any educated person would've known would've turned into the disaster that it turned into.

  8. Gillad Fide ??????????????????????  my god you have got to explain yourself there.  wake up and stop allowing yourself to be a thug for the neo-conservative ideology.  gunsmoke sucks as a show.  leo strauss is an idiot.  william cristol is ani idiot.  the usa isn't here to destroy every dictatorship in the world.  PNUC is the all time most idiotic philosophy that i've ever heard.  my god dude.  get some help.  i could write a book ripping apart your philosophical ideology

  9. Gillad Fide ?????? you are sick dude.  why do you want war?  what happened to you growing up that would produce the kind of psychotic rage to see your purpose in life as to kill other people in other countries that the government tells you that you are supposed to kill?  were you a navy seal or a green beret or something?  i've known plenty of navy seals growing up and among them were a few war veterans and they don't talk at all like you.

  10. Gillad Fide maybe its about time that we progressed forward and started relying more on negotiations with other countries and sometimes sanctions if necessary.  there are a lot of countries who are doing very well economically who aren't war-like at all.  we can still be vigilant and throw our weight around with countries like north korea or remind china that we are obligated to protect japan over the island disputes for example.  still what's your take on the usa supporting dictatorships like in saudi arabia and their neighboring sunni monarchies or propping up dictators in 3rd world countries?  we haven't done that in a while but we have done it in the past.

  11. Gillad Fide its pro-american and progressive.  if it wasn't for progressives in the country they usa would be a polluted, disease riddled country full of sweat shops.

  12. Gillad Fide i know that many countries don't value their citizen lives.  still i don't know if posturing towards war against them is really going to help anybody in the short ot long term.

  13. Gillad Fide so far you seem to toe the neo-conservative ideological line based on all of your comments so far.  doesn't your proposals seem kind of expensive to you?  why would it make sense to try to posture in order to make the usa appear stronger to the rest of the world when the percentage of people in poverty continues to grow and the middle-class continues to shrink and jobs are continuing to be outsourced abroad.  the measure of a strong nation is measured by the strength and stability of its citizens and not its ability to intimidate other countries into doing what we tell them to or risk going to war with them.  assad never did anything to the usa except be allies with our traditional enemies.  we have no business getting involved in that civil war.  besides i would take assad over ISIS ruling any day if i had to live there.  saudi arabia has stricter rules and enforces those rules a lot more than iran does.  if you really want to know the countries that the usa should be keeping an eye on it is north korea and pakistan.  there is no need to go around policing the world the way that we have done.  its time for the usa to take a break from that.  it was all a scam to keep money flowing into the military industrial complex anyways.  another thing that i want to mention.  do you know what brought down the roman empire?  overspending on the military and not enough attention spent on the citizens back in rome and its surrounding provinces.

  14. Gillad Fide i want to see more industrial jobs come back to the usa.  also the gap between the rich and the poor has steadily been growing over the past 40 years.  the percentage of those living below the poverty line has continually grown over the past 40 years while the percentage of those in the middle-class has shrunk over that 40 year span and the wealthy 1% has grown exponentially over that 40 year period.  just because people living under the poverty line have cell phones and cable tv doesn't mean that they aren't poor by usa standards.  that 50k mark is skewed because of the billionaires and the hundred millionaires.  i don't mean to suggest that we take some of that wealth but it is an indicator that something is flawed in our economic system because trickle down economics isn't supposed to work that way.  btw the usa spends more money on the military then the next 20 countries combined.

  15. Gillad Fide its not about a mcdonalds employee and a nuclear engineer being equal.  its about the mcdonalds employee not being able to afford breakfast or school supplies for her kids.

  16. Gillad Fide or we can increase the minimum wage a little so the mcdonalds employee won't have to rely on food stamps courtesy of the tax payer.

  17. Gillad Fide $15/hr is too much unless you live in a really expensive place like the bay area or maybe hawaii although i'm not completely sure about hawaii's situation.  times have changed.  mcdonalds used to be a first job for teenagers or a job for housewives who needed to provide a little bit of supplemental income for the family to go along with her husband's blue collar job.  now more people work there because there isn't a lot of industrial jobs the way that it used to be.

  18. Gillad Fide that sounds like a good route.

  19. Gillad Fide that makes sense.  i had to do something similar.

  20. Gillad Fide my grandparents were okies who came to california as kids.  they met later on but that's another story.

  21. Gillad Fide maybe the government should've listened to other intelligence reports that predicted all of the things that went wrong in iraq in case of an invasion as well as the french intelligence reports that would've gotten them to question the whole wmds report. i read that years before the iraq war and i predicted all of the things that would go wrong in the iraq war too and i'm a nobody.

  22. Gillad Fide sadaam didn't have anything to do with 9/11. besides its the head of intelligence during the bush years who is apologizing to the american people.

  23. Veteran Gamer that would be al-qaeda and not sadaam who would have to apologize for that. just what the fuck were they telling you veterans in iraq anyways?

  24. Gillad Fide do you mean where the old ISIS errr i mean al-qaeda got angry at the usa for defending the saudi royal family by going so far as to have bases on "the holy land?"

  25. Brian Griffin this video is a start at least.
