GOD will judge him and all other mercenaries for their service. GOD condemns war criminals

@@robotube7361 GOD is a figment of your imagination and the Bible is the writings of man, if you believe in the Bible bke you have the mind of a CHILD. The Bible supports slavery. 44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

I find his answers vague, like he doesn't elaborate on the experience. Of course it's 100% up to him, I just find it frustrating bc I'm active army now and I wanna hear what modern warfare in this age entails. God bless him tho, thankful there are people that are like him to do this job

[@righteousbyfaithinChrist]

God bless you James. Please forgive us for not educating ourselves upon all afghanistan and iraqi events. Thank you for your heart to protect our democracy and freedoms. Brotherhood means something.

Wow, he’s a fighter. 3 years with Walter Reed

The interviewer sounds like Kurt Loder from MTV.

88M (truck drivers) roll outside the wire more than anyone. Logistic convoys provide their own security usually led by 88M NCOs. 88Ms are the grunts of support.

[@politicalsheepdog]

I was in Iraq in 2005 as an 88M driving PLS Trucks with my National Guard Unit attached to 3rd ID out of Taji. I was online to go to Iraq again in 2011 but the mission was cancelled due to the pull out of American forces.

[@IAMKNOWINGREADINGS]

Thank you for your sacrifice 💪🏿

[@actsixproductions]

I thought the 'Guard didn't get deployed over seas? Was this because of 9/11?

[@jmaune1419]

The Guard has deployed overseas on multiple occasions

Great vid. But I wish you east coasters would stop referring to Washington D.C as just Washington. I live in Washington. So I get to say I live in Washington. I shouldn't have to say Washington state. When people ask me which Washington, I always tell them, the only Washington because the other one is Washington D.C. those along the Pacific coast know the difference because we call it Washington D.C and the state, just Washington. Thanks....P.S we have a capital hill in Washington as well. Its more or less a subdivision of Seattle. I have no idea why its called that since the capitol is in Olympia

[@thefirstgp6475]

You yourself are a hero for this 🤝

[@Gaybraham.Lincoln]

Trump won the last election but whoever owns biden didn't accept it and they just held up in DC till the media made the people believe the lie. This is why the streets were lined with soldiers. Idk exactly how it works but there's some weird loophole in Washington DC. It's not actually part of America is it? Its a district of Colombia. Central London in the UK has the same thing. Its called the city of London. A square mile in the middle of the city which is referred to as "the crown" but its nothing to do with royalty. It's owned by the rothschilds. Idk enough about law to figure it out but maybe that's the reason there's a Capitol hill in Washington (state). Lies and covering up of history

[@roadgent7921]

Topical as the US withdrew from Afghanistan this week...defeated. The troops and the locals pay in blood, families pay in grief, the US worker pays in money. Same $hit, different year. Vietnam Afghanistan Iraq

[@JohnRees3]

The man’s a hero, my respect to him, but of all of the videos shared on the veterans network, this is by far the worst interview of them all.
