You DO know that there's more US troops in the Shannon departure lounge than anyone else, don't you? Or at least there was the last 2 times I flew through there.

Which is why I made my point. A few hundred thousand passed through, we don't want them coming back.

True. At least they rotate. But 18 months (or longer) is a long time to worry about a loved one's safety.

....I really can't tell if you;re trolling or not.

If you are serious, and you would object to the US troops flying home through shannon, have you not realised they're flying through there now?

Indeed, and everyone who posts on the internet smokes crack.

See what i did there? That's called a generalisation. I have friends over in Iraq....can't say i'm happy about them being there, can't really say that there are either......but i hate the assumption that they are bad people just because they are there.

Believe it or not....mixed in with all those murderous rapists that the US government sends to Iraq are people who are genuinely wanting to help.

Yup. I have 3 friends, 1 family member over thete ATM.
1 has just come home this week to stay (Until told otherwise).
Not all are raping dirtbags. There will always be a few, though. (Those are the ones who oght to get taken out in gunfire IMHO).

having reviewed the videoes, i believe they belong here.
they are promo videoes for the U.S. military and as such i believe they should be left here for people to mock.
