This Is What Winning Looks Like -

[Midswat]

"This Is What Winning Looks Like" is a disturbing new documentary about the ineptitude, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and corruption of the Afghan security forces as well as the role of US Marines during the troop withdrawal. In part one, we see just how chaotic and hopeless the situation is at the main US military base in Sangin, Afghanistan.

This guy is a winner in my book. I almost feel bad for him. I know that pain he feels, that darkness, that pain...

Sad that you draw that conclusion from what he said. It seems to me that he did some messed up stuff over there, some illegal stuff and feels guilty. It may or may not have been under pressure or direction from his superiors, but either way it seems that there may be a problem with what some of our troops may be doing.

Those innocent people deserved it then? How does that make us any better than them?

Forget this the military isn't exempt from public or internal scrutiny.

Democracy Now is a collection of retards.

That said, can't dismiss this soldier. I have very little doubt shit like this happened. And no, it really wasn't all that cool and all about "preserving the American Way".

Cuz we ur Merca.

Fuck off Commie.

Seemed to me like he was not only scrutinizing himself but the lack of professionalism in the military as well. He said they'd straighten up when the reporters were with them....

I agree just adding to my comment to metalhead

I hope you don't expect a response.

He's indoctrinated. Nothing you say will convince him that he might just be wrong on 1 single aspect out of hundreds, if not thousands.

I understand. I'm aware MetalHead was in the military. I respect that.

But it's like cops. I don't really feel sorry for them and their thin blue line. You ever see good cops arrest bad cops? I don't recall ever seeing that. The military has a similar code--and group mentality.

I don't hold it against the military as much as I do the cops though.

We need the military. There's pretty much no use for cops though.

The soldier trying to help the young boys in the OP is awesome. I'll give the military that much. There are a few good men like him.
