Heartbreaking: Here's what a U.S. soldier said when asked to justify the war on terror

32. He's right on the money.

I was drafted, trained infantry and sent to Vietnam in the summer of '69.

I was scared and pretty certain I was going to return home in a body bag, as so many of my good, close friends were. We were shot at, hit with land mines, mortars and any other means to destroy us in the blink of an eye. I saw shit that would disgust and horrify most anyone reading this short clip.

Do you honestly think we, soldiers on the front lines, took the time and compassion to think about the injustice we were carrying out against the innocent Vietnamese civilian? Oh please.

I wished....and it was a wish...to get home alive, to see my family and love ones, and to live a life far from that hell my country threw me into.

Our job was "to stay alive", and we were terrified and angry that we even had to be there and watch our innocence be shredded in the reality of imperialism for "the man".

Bull shit, all of it. I don't want your "thanks for your service". I want your promise to stop this from ever happening again.
