Yes, and I support a soldier of any kind for any reason (including Mujahideen); any person willing to risk there life for a cause greater than there own is extremely honorable.
(BTW, I'm entering basic training for the Marines in a year and one half if you'd care to know.)

Timothy McVeigh is extremely honorable *rollseyes*

I understand the video wasn't all Islamic militant rubbish. I'm saying what is with the avatar/signature theme? It reeks of attention whoring and is just inappriopriate.

Fuck it, I knew I'd get ignorant morons taking offense to this video when clearly it doesn't show me or state that I'm posing as a Shura Council member or a Mujahideen OR supporting the Jihad. This video was made purely for entertainment purposes and is clearly pure fiction.

Many people on here have Sigs or made videos depicting them as a US/UK soldier, are they in the US or UK armed forces in reality? Perhaps, but unlikely. I don't support either side of the war in the middle east, but I'd care not to explain as it would be a waste of time.
But I guess it's ok if your killing people in the case of NATO forces for oil and other various reasons instead of a religious reason isn't it? Anyone who thinks that is a complete moron and has twisted morals. Killing is killing.

Wait, you don't support either side in the War on Terror? That means you don't have an allegiance to any of the ideologies involved in said conflict, right? So, consequently, if you were to be involved in the War on Terror, you'd be killing. Being as you're joining the Marines (as am I, I'm going the NROTC route), you'd just be killing, not for a "cause greater than there own", but, 'because', apparently.

Which is it? Is dying and killing for a greater cause honorable, or is killing just killing? By joining the Marines (remember, we're killers), what do you intend to do? Just kill, or server a cause greater than your own? And what does it matter to you, if its all the same morally.

You contradicted yourself.

Timothy McVeigh is a matter of ethical opinion (not justifying his actions in any way).

Attention whore? That's a new one, never been accused of that before; maybe I should make it flash red and blue or something you know?

My signature is supposed to be humorous (IE: Mujahideen aren't all that friendly to Infidels such as I and I'm sure he doesn't live in your neighborhood unlike Mr. Rogers) it doesn't depict anything remotely inappropriate as far as I can see, just a Mujahideen with an RPG (doesn't constitute that he will use it, although likely).

What I should have said instead was I don't support certain aspects of the war...
The war if you didn't know is more complicated then conflicting ideologies (if you care to discuss the war, this isn't the place).
Correct, I would be killing, but not consequently because I want to, but I have to in order to keep the opportunities the armed forces provide to me (not to mention my life in some instances). I suppose you could categorize it vaguely as for a higher purpose then myself, although not really. I feel the duty to serve my country militarily and to be quite frank with you I can't see myself doing a 9 to 5 job day after day with an ******* for a boss.
I also did not say that killing was wrong, but the justification of killing in certain aspects is wrong.

..........For those of you who enjoyed the video and have the intelligence to differentiate between fiction and non fiction thank you for your time in viewing the video...
I'm taking the video down for the reason that I don't want anymore weak minded ignorant people posting about it anymore, if you want to see the video then just PM.

Personal attacks are unnecessary and aren't welcome on these forums. I'm hardly a moron, and this is actually a topic I've put a good deal of thought into. I've discussed my opinion on recreating real life scenes here:

I understand that your video wasn't replicating any specific incidences. But I do think that it conveys a certain level of disrespect to those featured in these sorts of videos IRL.

Mhh, there were like three videos like the one the OP posted here before, and nobody took offense... (not directed at JP*wasteland.soldier)

Ok, dont let this get out of hand.

Post the video back please.

There are many subjets we can go into here, walts + posers, ayrabs, and the 'war for oil+ dead babies'

but

Spaz · Post by **Spaz** » 2007-03-05 15:38

I don't support any kind of war, (only on the computer

) but i support all soldiers that takes the risk to fight.

But its the leaders in this world that make all the shit, don't blame the normal soldiers.

Over and out

@DirtyHarry88

Political correctness (often abbreviated to PC) is a term used to describe language or behavior which is intended, or said to be intended, to provide a minimum of offense, particularly to racial, cultural, or other identity groups. A text that conforms to the alleged ideals of political correctness is said to be politically correct.

At root, political correctness denies the existence of absolute standards, but rather insists that right and wrong are relative. It insists on non-judgmentalism. Thus if a person chooses to take offence at a term, it is for others to avoid using it, even if no offense was in fact intended by them. Likewise, under political correctness, it is not possible to assert absolute moral standards of sexuality. Those who use the term in a critical fashion often express a concern about the dilution of freedom of speech, intolerance of language, the avoidance of a discussion of social problems and, indeed, the lack of truthfulness which it implies.

So something political corectness seeks to not offend people for the sake of not offending them. I'm saying that videos like this are offensive due to their nature. Not due to the fact that their offensive.

BTW, what's the 88 about?

BOOM HEADSHOT!

Sniping is so satisfying when you get one kill after another.

Wasteland · Post by **Wasteland** » 2007-03-05 15:49

Well, first off, your video doesn't include the red arrows and corner flag being proposed. And the video has value as a skillz video, seing as you're hitting targets from various ranges, usually on the first shot, and you're hitting sprinting targets. Because it has this value, the music and opening screen can be seen as facilitating the immersion of the video, and not simply as an homage to the insurgent videos seen online.

Clypp · Post by **Clypp** » 2007-03-05 16:08

Can you repost the video? There are other posters who have insurgents in their sig, no big deal. Unless you say, "Death to America and the Brits" it's all acceptable. (Acceptable, not necessarily great)

What was offensive?

[-doseph-] · Post by **[-doseph-]** » 2007-03-05 23:40

That movie was so terrible I honestly can't take offense to it. It shows a player destroying 3 different targets with IED's....that is SOOOO difficult(...sarcasm...). I am not trying to be mean, but why even make a video like this? It isn't very difficult to do and doesn't really represent skill.

Yes, and I support a soldier of any kind for any reason (including Mujahideen); any person willing to risk there life for a cause greater than there own is extremely honorable.

So you support Terrorists who kill innocent people in the name of a religion that doesn't support their actions? Let us ignore the fact that earlier you said you don't support "any side" of the war. You contradict yourself so many times that it is almost hard to take you seriously as an individual. Then comments like these

The war if you didn't know is more complicated then conflicting ideologies

make you seem like a pompous benighted child - the fact is you know nothing about how complicated the war is, or conflicting idealogies for that matter. If you did, you would have the intelligence to realize what a serious topic this is to some people and that they would get offended by it. After realizing this, you could have made it a bit more obvious that it was a video showing your skill and/or the tactics you use as an insurgent in Project Reality.

Personally I don't think the movie was offensive, I honestly don't even know why you made it. It was 1 minute of blowing up vehicles, something not hard to do in the first place.

So is there no point in people making videos of any gameplay?

Jesus H Christ give him a break and if you don't like it, don't watch it.

SiN|ScarFace · Post by **SiN|ScarFace** » 2007-03-05 23:57

LOL@ people who take offense to this video. Give me a break, ITS A GAME! JP says the sniper video is ok because it shows skillz, but this one is not ok because vehicles are being blown up which is too close to real life? lol yet showing actual sniper kills on soldiers in a game video is somehow less offensive, esp when we are actually viewing a simulated death of a simulated soldier. Last time I checked PR has nothing to do with real life and real death. It's ok to kill and blow things up during actual gameplay but to film it and post it on the net and you become somehow affiliated with real militants? Even tho everyone here has played the insurgent side in the game. The holier than thou shit gets old.
