Not sure if this has been posted already.  Great video!  I guess he's a blind sheep too, huh?      Just like when Sen. Kerry bad-mouthed the troops back in 2004, calling them too stupid to do anything else, so they join the military?     We're potentially going to have someone of an even more elitist mindset than that leading our country!  Wow! 

That being said, I'll still be praying for the President just as I do today, whether it's Bush, Obama, or McCain.

Clinton was the one who cut the funding to take care of the Vets.  My wife worked in the VA Hospital doing those years, and she can tell you how much the Clinton administration raped our vets.  Where you as pissed as you claim to be now?

If I were to poll 20 of the military guys at my gym (active or retired), I would guarantee you that 80% would agree with this soldier.

Love it.  He spoke the truth. 

[big L dawg]

I have numerous family and friends in the military and most don't share his sentiment.so don't act like this guy speaks for the military.

You are so full of shit.  "Clinton did it" With a republican congress?  Nice try...

And no. McCain didn't pay him to do this. But, some of you will never believe that.

[OzmO]

He wasn't living in Iraq prior to 2002 so he doesn't know what he's talking about.

However, I'm glad he feels good about what he did.

[garebear]

Kick ass and radical! Let's invade Iran when this one gets too boring.

As a matter of fact, yep, just go 'head and invade Iran now. I am OFFICIALLY BORED with the war in Iraq. The first part was the best, really.

Then when they caught Saddam, that was kinda' cool, too. Then he got executed and it really started getting boring. Yawn.

Next.

Iran will be fun. There will be lots of new stuff to bomb as well - virgin buildings still totally intact (watch 'em blow up on CNN, fvck yeah!). There will be plenty of infrastructure to hit with smart weapons and you know how that shit looks on TV! Yeah, baby.

Are you saying the genocide, rape rooms, etc. has to be experienced first hand before he can have an opinion?

If he was pro-Obama and putting down McCain you would cream your pantys.

No, what I'm saying is, is that he doesn't know first hand what life was like in Iraq for the average citizen because he didn't live there. 

I do know that the average person could go to the local market before 2003 without having to worry about a suicide bomber, IED, insurgents etc..

And i don't have to look to this guy to find people who see the lunacy and waste of the Iraq war.

It will go down as one of the worse decisions in US history.

And don't go thinking I'm saying Sadaam was some kind of saint and should have still been in power.  But at the cost to this country?  Fvck that.  We need to worry about our own.   There was no need for us to invade Iraq.  No need for thousands of mothers to lose their sons in Iraq.   No need for thousands to be maimed.  Iraq was not a threat to the USA.

That video is so wrong on so many different levels.

I knew he'd be missing one or two legs.

I had an inkling that piece of shit song Proud to be An aMerican would ring out.

It's too bad that he had to convince himself that his honorable intention to serve was not whored away in Iraq....therefore the Iraq disaster and freedom itself are honorable.

Bullshit is still bullshit.

I mean what else is this guy gonna say without going mad?  "I lost my leg greasing innocent Iraqis in a brutal invasion of naked unprovoked aggression?"

Of course not.

He's going to bullshit himself that his killings and loss are really heroic.

If that's what he has to do to deal with what he lost that's fine.  But that doesn't change jack sh1t about the disaster of Iraq

Joe the Vet Endorses McCain in YouTube's Most Popular Election Video
A two-minute YouTube video of an Iraq War veteran has become an Internet sensation.

An Iraq War vet's video endorsement of John McCain is the most viewed election video on YouTube.

John McCain's most powerful ad -- an open letter to Barack Obama in which an Iraq War veteran criticizes his stand on the war -- didn't cost the Republican candidate a dime.

In "Dear Mr. Obama," army veteran Joe Cook stands in front of the camera and scolds the Democratic presidential candidate for calling the Iraq war a mistake. The two-minute video, which was posted on YouTube,  has gotten more than 11 million hits and is the most popular election video on the site.

In the video, Cook tells Obama why he disagrees with his Iraq war policies and says he's supporting McCain. At the end, he walks away from the camera, revealing that he has a prosthetic leg.

Cook, 23, was wounded in Iraq in June and returned home to Wauconda, Ill., to recover. He said he enlisted three years ago because of his family's dedication to serving their country. His parents were both marines, and he has two brothers in the military.

Now that he's back from Iraq, Cook continues to help his fellow service members, running a business with a neighbor that provides valet parking services at veterans' hospitals.

"When I first got back it was all about the recovery and everything like that, but as the race starting going on, I got more involved," he said, explaining why he made the video. "I started reading about McCain and stuff. He's a leader. I can really respect him, seeing as he's a vet as well."

Cook said he has already cast his ballot in Illinois early voting.

Video director Michael Brown, who teamed up with Cook to create the video, said he was inspired to make the video because he wanted to share the experiences of soldiers that aren't reported in the media and to lend support to McCain for his position on the war.

"Obama has been squealing since 2002 that Iraq is a mistake," Brown said. "He's using the military as pawns, he has not brought our troops home and he has not done any good. When he says it's a mistake, he's disrespecting our guys."

"I'm not connected with any campaign," Brown said. "In fact, what's interesting is, before this the only thing I've ever done politically is put a sign in my yard."

Brown said he contacted Cook about making the video after meeting him at a parade the town held in Cook's honor in July. He said he thinks the video's effectiveness comes from its simplicity.

"Joe collaborated on the script to ensure its authenticity and truthfulness, which was important," he said. "That's what works so well."

Both Cook and Brown are surprised by the popularity of the video.

"Obviously we didn't think it was going to get up to 11 million hits," Cook said. "It's a little crazy, but anything I can do to help. I think it's a good way to express what I felt and I thought it was good. I thought Mike Brown did a phenomenal job."

Good post. I served three years in the Army. There are some flat out delusional people in there. They are convinced they are living in some kind of movie. I'm surprised some of them didn't carry around a tape player so they could have background music.

Iraq had nothing to do with 911.

Iraq did not have "weapons of mass destruction" or chemical weapons.

We invaded a country and this video is the outcome.
