ARE AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN IRAQ RACIST?




Are U.S. troops big hearted, as our mainstream media networks make them out to be? Maybe not. Are they heroes? Absolutely. Are they professionals? According to some videos I found, no they are not.
I spent some time looking for videos on youtube showing U.S. troops abusing and mistreating Iraqi children. I wanted to look into the many allegations that U.S. troops are treating Iraqi children as animals. The verdict. It is true. The saddest part is that it's not hard to find these videos at all. There are tons of them. One of the most sadistic ones I found is an interview with a U.S. Marine talking about the Iraqi children and how he feels about them...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F8KuLFtD1Q . You can hear the hatred in that soldiers voice. It is very evil and and at the same time sad that he would talk about kids like that. They have no choice as to where they were born, and who their parents were. This video is a prime example of the hatred and racism that is going on in Iraq. There are also many videos showing U.S. troops teaching the Iraqi children to say bad words, and talk bad about their own country. This one has about 200,000 views...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpHWaUSfYj8 . The guy filming that should get some kind of punishment for making these videos, and saying those things to those kids. That is ridiculous. People from other parts of the world are watching these videos, and saying, "what ignorant pigs" or "what animals those Americans are" among, I am sure many other things. Why doesn't someone in the military get involved and put an end to this. No wonder many Iraqis hate us. Look at how our country is being represented over there. Here is another video, showing the same kind of ridiculous things that U.S soldiers are doing in Iraq...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE4yG8_UkqY . In that video you saw a Marine driving a military vehicle. In the background there are Iraqi children begging. The Marine is seen turning suddenly and yelling at the kids, scaring them away. Why are they abusing these kids. What have they personally done to those soldiers, or to our country? Nothing. I think that the reason for this hatred and racism, stems from the idea that these kids brothers, uncles, fathers, grandparents, or someone in their extended family is a terrorist. The problem is that there is no validation of that, and in fact, many Iraqis are actually peaceful people. Yes there are terrorist groups among them, but to abuse the children for what their relatives have done might seem ok when you are out being bombed and running over IEDs but they need to be reasonable and think before they act. I do not want anyone reading this blog to think that I am talking bad about our military, but I do want people to know that this is going on every day in Iraq. Our soldiers are becoming less and less understanding as to the reason why they are there risking their life. This is a problem stemming from our military leaders and from the President not necessarily the soldiers themselves. They were bred to go over there with this kind of hatred, and ignorance toward the people they should be protecting.
