Marines under attack, afraid, praying

chiminosays...

Nice way to show all the people that support war the real consequences and danger you put the youth at. In war there's no such thing as good guys and bad guys.

Poor guys, I really wish they got themselved out safely.

Wow. That's amazing. I hope those guys got out to. I take it this is probably from Iraq. Imagine what it would be like if people like them didn't step up and take that risk, the risk of their own lives, to defend their country. The terrorist attacks wouldn't have stopped with 9/11. And the terror we all saw in this video would be taking place in homes all over America. God bless our armed forces.

If you listen closely, the bangs continue in the background for the whole clip. It sounds like the Marines are seeking cover under things (you hear one say 'quit pushing me from under the table' and another says 'please don't let it get any closer'). It could be RPG rounds, but it is more likely mortar rounds. They were used regularly by insurgents to attack Army camps at night in Iraq, and they can be quickly set up and moved. One good shot could kill most, if not all, these Marines. I definitely pray they made it out safely.

"The terrorist attacks wouldn't have stopped with 9/11. And the terror we all saw in this video would be taking place in homes all over America."
I don't know what's more sad, the fact that you believe that or the fact that they're dying over there...

After you finish reading the CNN article, take a second to read this:

Iraq didn't cause 9/11. That was Afghanistan.

The problem with the war in Iraq is we could have avoided putting innocent Marines into situations like this if we'd actually studied the political situation instead of rushing in with our bullheaded Shock and Awe tactics and no exit plan, all for distabilizing a dictator that wasn't half as dangerous to us as Pakistan or North Korea. Now we've set Iraq on the path towards civil war, and given the terrorists who caused 9/11 a new reason to rally people against us.

And i think its goos hes praying giving hismelf a reason to get out by praying to god, but do you think god would let those few americans get out just to kill other humans, i doubt it.
