Invalid Video Link Hard to "support our troops" when I see things like this. Also this which is interesting. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Watch his haunting observational film that explodes the myth around the claims that the Iraqis are preparing to take control of their own country.</div> http://www.guardian.co.uk/video/page/0,,1927660,00.html
Am I going to hell for laughing? EDIT: Just watched the second video... nothing really shocking or haunting about it. What's the big deal? The Iraqis don't want to cooperrate? Not exactly a big revelation.

That's probably the biggest prick move I've ever seen on video. Those guys obviously don't give 2 shits about the freedom of Iraq.
Aww man. That kid ran all the way and when the water bottle was finally thrown, he didn't get it. That guy holding the water bottle is a true ***. He made 8 year olds run for bottles for all that time. That isn't even funny.

That means more time over there if the U.S. Government is sincere about helping Iraq.
Wow, does that suck. It's funny how we're supposed to give our troops the utmost respect, but you have to keep in mind that many of them aren't the hero figures that history teaches us about. It really sucks to see something like that from somebody who respresents our country.
I would guess there are troops also out there who would give thirsty children bottles of water, but I don't think that would be posted on the net. It must be a tough situation for lots of people in Iraq now.
I laughed my ass off. That video was hilarious. If that was just some random guy driving somewhere in America, that would be in the Make Me Laugh section, but because it's such a sore subject, it's here.

That was disgusting and if you actually laughed then that is horrible. That kid just wanted some water and the soldiers had to play games with him and make him run for more than a mile. As if that wasn't enough, the poor kid didn't even get the bottle in the end. It's terrible that anyone could do this to the poor kid, and I hope you really didn't laugh at that. I don't care if this was happening in my backyard, it wouldn't be funny at all.
What I'm trying to say, there is a double standard here. If it was here in America, people wouldn't even post this. If they did, it would be in the Make Me Laugh section of JBB. Is it sick? Yes.

Messing with the minds of poor, thirsty children isn't funny, regardless of where it is happening. I agree that the situation is made worse because the guys are soldiers and society looks up to them as heros. However, even if it were a random guy doing this I'd feel bad for the kid.

Wow, thats a pretty chicken s*** move by the gut with the waterbottle. The kid runs like a mile pretty fast and doesnt even get it. The sad thing is the state of the Iraqi utilities such as electricity and water is still horrible. The poor kid might have really needed that.
<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Humor often comes at the expense of others. That's nothing new.</div> But when the humor is coming at the expense of a poor child that just wants some water because he is extremely thirsty, I'm not laughing.
