Beatdown Galore

Apparently beating down kids in Iraq is OK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLaAUx4r7ow&NR). What's even worse is that these guys take them behind a wall so no one would see the punishment they're dissing out. I'm guessing these kids have norecurse and will probably join the insurgents and kill soldiers without hesitation.

there is no such thing as no recourse. things are not always what they seem at first, such as the Rodney King thing

I wouldnt call this a beatdown as more of the kids got what they needed a little discipline, IE hey you throw rocks at my face im gonna hit you on the backside with a switch, they didnt beat em, they spanked them much like a parent would spank their kid with a switch, nothin wrong with that to keep em in line a little bit, if they had started throwin punches or anything like that on the other hand then yes it would be messed up, i dont find this video to be violent at all, these guys are out there everyday gettin shot at and crazy shit like that, dont demoralize the troops cuz they gave these kids, that look to be around 12-14ish a spanking which they deserved

really, if your one of those people that trashes everything that happens and label it "cruelty" more power to your tree hugging ass. Those iraqi brats clearly need some parenting, the media will always catch the view that will sell the most try to remember that.

Hopefully we will be out of iraq before those brats can be insurgents

And they probably took them behind the wall to protect them and the kids from stray fire you ever think of that?

how do we know these kids weren't trying to shoot the soldiers? i try not to judge anyone that is involved in Iraq, because i what my rules would be. and those rules would be to get my ass back to the states alive.

The whole thing is a freaking cluster fuck at this point, we need to start getting the hell outta there.

Hmmmmmm...........maybe I did not phrase that correctly as I agree with you. They probably deserved some discipline, if not punishment. As you say D, and I agree, "Who knows what that was for"? Either way I would reserve judgement until the truth were known. Additionally, I am not one of the PC believers.

Beating them with sticks? I guess you guys missed the part where they are kicking them just like a parent would kick their kids. One kid even got kicked in the balls while laying down face forward.

THey beat the kids with whips and kicked em in the nuts. Even parents dont do that. That is fucked up.

if those kids were trying to shoot the soldiers and all they got was a swift kick in the nuts, i would say that they are pretty lucky
