A Salute To Our Military Men & Women (pics)
 

A lot of people here bash the United States Armed Forces. But I hope this is one time when you can see these young soldiers do a lot of good things for the world also and these dedicated troops really work hard as hell serving our country and others.

Much respect from this Canadian....

All I see in those photos are the US invading another country.
At least that is the response you will get from some of these idiots.

Nice photos.

Bring on the hate.

I never stopped saluting.

Great photos. American troops in action.

I guess it makes a break from killing civilians.

Been there, done that. I've been spat on, I've fired in anger, I've done humanitarian duty. US Troops are no different than any troops in the world, really -- young men and women like you and me (used to be) who are there to do their jobs, whatever those jobs may be. It always feels better building something and helping others. But they're not evil. The military doesn't inject secret syrum into soldiers which turn them into automatons bent on global domination. They're mostly just kids, just like any other except that they are called upon to risk their lives.

Hats off to the young service people from all over the world who deploy into situations they may not even fully understand to do jobs that may not at the time even make that much sense. They go anyway, and they keep going at their nation's behest be they American, Canadian, Poles, Germans, Japanese, Russian, or any other free nationality.

:thumbsup good stuff. hopefully in the future there will be more of that stuff

Moron. :2 cents:

yea much respect to our service men and women

my sister in law is in the navy

Good post :thumbsup

Yea, if any of us had any balls we would be there on weekends helping.

even when you have positive pics of the us military in action someone will always be there to bring out the negative side of it.

well those doing that can go :gfy

Wish we saw more pictures like that on the news these days

check out 'ole dudes hair :thumbsup

they do a great job :thumbsup

They do what they're told to do, nothing more.

I salute them

Got respect for anyone who helps these people!

Tho why the fuck only US troops have been mentioned - hell knows.

There were other countries/organisations on the scene helping within a day or so - it took almost a week for US troops to come along, tho that ain't their fault.

It was Rice who made the statement, "The US military is trained to kill and that's what they should be doing". The scum bitch needs to serve and see what it means :-)

It is good to see US soliders engaged on something other than offensive actions - makes a change!

Its sad that its takes a disaster on this scale for the world to embrace each other and finally help their fellow man.

Fresh Prince of Thailand

Isn't that a hat he's wearing? Looks like a more reasonable possiblity.

Respect.

It was commented above that it "different" seeing US troops doing humanitarian stuff. My friend, US troops do that stuff every day and you have no clue. Even in the midst of combat, a GI will go out of his way to "assist" a national in need. You just don't always have photogs around to document it.

My other brothers in arms here know of what I speak. The "killing" is usually "by order." The "saving" is a personal decision that occurs each and every day, all over the world. Sharing a meal with a child, carrying papasan to or from the chopper, moving a family out of harm's way. It's not all "cops and robbers."

To my military brothers here, Welcome Home. To my Cav brothers, Garry Owen.

Clueless idiot.

Gives a whole new meaning to 'bag it and stab it'?

:thumbsup :thumbsup

It's amazing how we are hated by everybody til they need our help or money. American troops are doing this kind of thing every day all over the world

Bear in mind most of these folks that got abused, were the abusers of the people under Saddam. Karma has an interesting way of balancing things out in life.

OH man.... this thread is going to get ugly I think. :error

Yup, America is pure evil. :helpme

wtf is with these photos ? I think that lady is little sick :( :thumbsup

The fact they got to live seems mighty fucking gracious to me. If those were our troops, they would have been decaptitated or blown up.

I respect the US military

Good job :thumbsup

A refreshing change yes.

Those are nasty fucking pics, respect to all these young guns out there.

[QUOTE=KRL]Says CNN.

My brother is back in Iraq for a second tour (didn't exactly volenteer). Guy got a 10k xmas bonus from the government. IMHO, still not enough, wont do him any good if he dies and it's not like they are sending him home any time soon. At least we get to talk and ichat frequently - nothing like a live video feed from IRAQ when his orders come over the radio... not exactly "secure" guys. Scares me.

Few people hate US soldiers themselves, people hate the horrible way in which they are ordered to act, and they hate that most Americans are brainwashed into supporting it, or at least turning a blind eye. Not only do they bomb innocent civilians, they have to step it up by using things like torture and fucking napalm. Not to mention, they dispose of their own nuclear waste by firing depleted uranium out of tanks, completely devastating whichever country they feel they need to destroy this year. Americans who think people are bashing them, or are jealous, or haters, need a serious fucking wake-up call.

ive seen those pics....i mean the good ones...we need to see more like that

At what point did you decide war needed to be nice and played like patty cake? You are the one in need of a wake-up call.

Full respects to ALL the men and women in the Armed Forces.

(As for the haters ... you only care about your lonely self and are incapable of assisting others cause your too busy yammering away ... STFU please, you apparently have nothing to useful to contribute.)

see we arent as bad as everyone makes us out to be

lmfao

Idiots.

Exactly, let the haters keep babbling. They will never be anything worth your
time anyway.
