How is it cruel ?

Cruel or not, it's pretty sad that a kid chased the truck for all that way.

Then didn't get it when the soldier dropped the bottle.

Way to breed a future terrorist.

I really don't get how that isn't cruel...can we have a show of hands or something?

Lets make sure this gets national news coverage so we can smear all American Soldiers with it! And call John Kerry......

because they obviously weren't starving/dehydrated if they can sprint after a truck.
It isn't like they were eating a Thanksgiving feast in front of the starving Ethiopians.

So if its not insanely cruel, its not cruel at all?

how are you ruling out adrenaline over-riding their dehydration

where is everyone else on this? no opinion?

I dont know if i'd go as far as 'cruel' but they are definitely assholes.

hsmith · 11-29-2006, 06:41 PM

It is ok they don't have clean water, we only destroyed their infrastructure

There's a difference between making a statement directed at specific members of the military who videotaped themselves doing something stupid and making negative blanket statements about our servicemen. One day both political parties will understand that and comments like the one I made won't be an issue.

It isnt cruel at all. Waste of time, teasing, idiotic, possibly damaging etc... sure but not cruel.

Probably the same bunch of assholes who enjoy putting 10 .223 rounds into the heads of random dogs around Iraq.

I like the american soldiers yelling at them in english to "send their kid to school" when anyone with half a brain would realize its bombed out at that point
