"It's the ultimate rush -- you're going into the fight with a good song playing in the background," states one soldier. This is a war fought by the first playstation generation. As Rolling Stones journalist Evan Wright explains: "One thing about them is they kill very well in Iraq."

    5:16 A lot of young soldiers who fought in Vietnam were usually well brought up and joined or were drafted straight out of College. He describes them as an "Innocent generation who lost that innocence in the jungles of Vietnam". The goes on to blame "Generation Kill" on violent video games, movies, and a sex scandal. Not the lack of parenting. Generation Kill: What happens when those who've grown up on Hollywood war movies and graphic video games are sent to the front line? The same thing that happens to EVERY generation that goes to war. Horrific things that no game or film can prepare you for.

    It's kind of dumb to chalk up there experience to a few things they watched or did or listened to. The environment these people are in still has a really high rate of making them suicidal and giving them ptsd. The rate of veterans who kill themselves and turn to alcohol and drugs is still really high. There is nothing glamorous about being an alcoholic who has to deal with ptsd everyday of their life. And has to live with knowing they can't just unexperience all that trauma. Some of the veterans of these wars just want a day were they feel good all day and don't have to remember those offel things they made them do. Innocence can take a seat that's not the worse thing to lose. But as for your mind that can never be undamaged. If these people want to send a message that is polarizing to the population then they should meet some of the veterans who are in and out of VA rehabilitation hospitals. They should show how much the war can take from someone. Imagine not being able to have a good time with your wife or kids because your tormented with the memories of war. It's a sad sight to see and hear what those veterans go through who have ptsd and for those who have an addiction to the only thing that makes them feel even remotely normal and happy.

All the chaos and lawlessness prevalent gave birth to Taliban movement. For the first time Afghanistan saw some peace under Taliban rule. Warlords were defeated. But what did WESTERN COUNTRIES DO? Sanctions on AFGHANISTAN for TALIBAN to unite their country and bring peace to this war torn country. all these NEWS channels are puppets of Big companies who pay them for their own business benefits.

    I was going to type something longer but he summarizes it well here: 5:18 I would add that in World Wars One and Two American fighters were young men, from farms and/or families but led by older Veterans. WW1 was the first War for Oil, Vietnam was for Rubber and Tin. If it were against Communism then your jobs wouldn't have been shipped to Communist China. After Nixon Opened China, Reagan cut corporate Taxes (so did Dubya and Trump) and every guy permitted to be in the Oval Office since Reagan has modified Tarrifs to permit foreign products to "compete" with wages in the USA. In other words, it coincides with the period when profit growth slowed inside the USA so mega corporations expanded to keep growing profits (because THAT'S what makes a stock Price Climb and THAT is why Reagan cut the Capital Gains Tax). So what about corporations' fair share"? Well "60 Fortune 500 Companies Paid No Tax" kzread.info/dash/bejne/pamsuZR8k67fms4.html Oh and Iraq? Oil and the fact that "Saddam Turns His Back On Greenbacks" - Google that.

    ***** "Humans are bloodthirsty, period. " Good, then the day you're on the receiving end of that I'll say the same. Speak for yourself. Home Sapiens means *thinking* human and those who think don't retort to violence whenever they feel like it or worse try to justify it as if we're still all troglodytes. Well, some of us clearly still are. Here's something which has been proven by social scientists. A steady stream of violence from childhood *desensitises* a person to violence and murder. Gladiators were slaves and a slave killing another slave didn't bother those who watched at a time a slave was seen as property you could do whatever hell you pleased with as long as you owned one. Eventually these games were banned even before Rome came to an end.

    It's not the quantity of violence that has changed, but part of the ongoing cultural shift in the quality of the human experience of violence and the aesthetic around it. It's a change to human psychology where murder is somewhat more realistically and continuously shown in media, and it means the experience of killing is and being killed can no longer be quite the same.

I didn't and won't join the forces but this makes me realize what I might have become if I did join. Would I be riding in a tank listening to metal, just looking for someone to kill? Have playing video games, watching these movies, even day dreaming about the zombie apocalypse made me a catalyst to be a solder? Or a "purposed" killer even?

    This doesn't show that war in the age of video games is a new phenomenon in itself, but just a new type of it. Taking place during this era is what differentiates this war from other. Given that wars is constant, ongoing and has been on Earth since the beginning of time. What makes this type of warfare unique, other than (but also closely related to) the state-of-the-art weaponry at disposal, is the culture at the time of war. Not the culture of war itself, but the arbitrary symbols that would normally exist outside of the war zone can now, more than ever than before, be massively produced as a very enjoyable commodity to keep the war going on and on.

    I think with the digital age it has helped us get the information out on what is really happening and im grateful for that. The sooner people understand wars the sooner they can be stopped. I once was brainwashed into thinking war was glorious and looked fun, and i think many men could relate to having a interest in joining the army when they were young but couldnt justifiy it to themselves. Basically my point is history repeats itself and to point fingers is to point at yourself.

    What a video. There are a lot of opinions in this clip. Some did not age well, some are, in hindsight, downright hilarious or have a huge tragicomedy to them. Some are classic "boomer talk", others are spot on. But for me the most astounding thing was: This shit was uploaded in 2007! The war it's talking about was still going on. For years after. And how long ago it is from today, June of 2024. And thinking what I was doing during that time in 2007, or how I perceived the start of the war in Iraq in 2003 and all these things. I always tried to follow the developments in Iraq and Afghanistan over the years and today from where I live (Germany). And all the ramifications and consequences these wars or 9/11 have on the US and the whole world to this day, all the victims, the civilians and soldiers and marines, not just from the US, but many more countries of the coalition. What a time. We were all time witnesses to what today is alsmost long gone history to many. Gives me a very weird bitter-sweet feeling of nostalgia man.
