Image to child, ingrained idea: the laughing fat man, the bigger boys, the foreign invader, interloper, oppressor.
Personal, social, political.
Horrendous.
I laughed.
Lucky for me i'm not conscious.

So fucking what! Our men and women are dying over there in that shit hole of a country and now we have to watch bullshit like this. Some kids got taunted with water and suddenly its news worthy. What about the good that's being done over there? Nobody wants to see that shit.
As a Marine who served in Desert Storm I take personal offense to that video and anybody who supports its intent. Call me crazy, but I have a little more faith that our service men and women are doing the right thing in an extremely intense situation.

good point wronguy. i think its unfair to generalize the troops based on this video (even though i dont support the war) but you can see that these particular soldiers are being complete douchebags.

maybe they dont represent the majority, unfortuneately, that doesn't matter. that little boy is going to remember them. his family, his neighbors, all the other children, and evryone who sees the video. the "retarded minority" did the act, made the video, posted it online. what needs to be realized here is the great potential for damage that the ignorant minority creates. and also, one should realize that minority does not nessisarily equate "isolated"

we should not have been there in the first place.

The soliders are douchebags, but some actions of troops have been far worse (raping, killing, thievery, torture, etc). Actions such as these from the relatively benign to the more heinous are not helping at all.

Some soliders do good, some do bad. Being an American solider does not make someone automatically a decent human being.

I'd really like to think that this was/is an isolated incident and not at all indicative of the behavior of the American soldiers but still, IMO that is pretty fucked up.........
