- This video could've been made with the intent to be taken out of context. (Kind of like what the tabloids do.) I have seen pictures and read stories of soldiers/volunteers handing out their food and supplies to Iraqi children and their friends/families, it's not like this most of the time.
But set aside all of that ^:
I'm disturbed about how certain soldiers overseas are treating the Iraqi civilians and prisoners, and the fact that most of them get away with it unpunished. ~ Which currently only adds animosity for the Iraqis who want the US troops to leave, and thus making the current mission to get the country back up on its feet that much more difficult.

I hear you, its not about the water, its about them being like "ooh poor kids" lookie!
