3. I have unrec'd this video ... because
the beginning of the video is very misleading.
The first quote of Obama was regarding IRAQ (the video does not indicate that) - and he has brought troops home from Iraq.
Then the video plays quotes of him talking about Afghanistan ... him talking about sending in more troops TO AFGHANISTAN.
Well, during the 2008 campaign Obama ALWAYS said that he was going to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Bring them home from Iraq and send more to Afghanistan - that is exactly what he said and that is what he has been doing.

So, bottom line the way the video is edited it is MISLEADING.

It would be a perfect video had it not been misleading at the start.

11. Well said. I'd suggest that opening is an outright lie, an intentional lie.
Is the author intransigently anti-war, even necessary ones,

or,

insidious help for the Koch brothers.

10. orale...
obama said he'd bring the troops home. "that was about iraq" is a strange defense for yet another killer of u.s. soldiers and marines. bring the troops home now.

13. Great Anti-War Video -- Thank You For Posting It.
Our soldiers telling the truth about our horrid, unjust wars! Please listen to them. They know the reality and they know what need to be done to stop it. We need to build a new, human society where improving human lives, not killing them for private corporate profits, is the goal. We need to end capitalism and its diry wars, now!

14. In some ways they pay the highest price for being lied to. Death & Destruction from LIES, must be
really specially hard to be in their situation.

16. "I did not sign on to protect companies like KBR, so they can make a profit"...
...I thought the opening was a reasonable depiction of BHO's flip flop on the topic of war.

Powerful film.

21. The opening was not a flip-flop. It was edited to be misleading. See comment #3 above. n/t
