Winning Hearts & Minds. US soldiers film themselves taunting Iraqi children with a bottle of water.

I'm not sure where I saw this, but I've seen it before. Made me really sad. Really sad.

Oh, dear. My bad. Totally a double, triple, quadruple. That's what I get for looking away.

I'm still shocked that the dod is letting them bring cameras after all the shit that's been going on.

They were totally asking for it by taunting us with their sweet, sweet crude oil.

You know, if the army took zombies, there wouldn't be no manpower problems. They could be killled, come back from the dead and be re-killed over and over--sort of like this film clip. And talk about your Shock and Awe.
Of course, then the film clip would end with them eating the kids' brains. And that wouldn't be so good, public relations-wise.
