Proud to be a Rifleman

aaronsayers
What's a Rifleman? Why do soldiers join the army? What are the soldiers views on the situation in Iraq? This short documentary looks at these issues as Aaron returns to his old battalion to document their progress in the brigade shooting competition, while meeting up with some old friends along the way. 'Proud to be a Rifleman' is a realistic account of serving soldiers in the Royal Green Jackets.

    • " Shock troops " ? Has any memory of WW2 history been lost on
      all but those retired former British soldiers ? " Shock troops were
      the name given to Hitler's hyper aggression in lands foreign to
      Germany. Obvious the world has gone oil insane. After a century
      of driving only one type of engine, the oil Monopoly people have
      accepted without question has made them obsessed with securing
      their addiction to oil anywhere they know it exists that they can invade.
      But realisticly, oil is only priced as highly as it is because they depend
      on it to make plastics with instead of organicly producing these plastics.
      And oil is used to make petrochemicals for Corporate farming. Yet that
      same Corporate farming is driven by BOTH oil & water which don't mix.

      Any intelligent person knows this world will suffer through a fresh water
      crisis loooong before it exhausts available oil. The sources of fresh,
      pure water are being lost by melting due to Global Warming due to
      fossil fuel burning of oil & coal. The Earth's forrests feeding on that
      CO2 to maintain Earth's temperature balance have been decimated
      by clear cuts to maintain Corporate Brazilian farms.The result is fresh
      water sources permanently lost by melting runs offs diluting salt water
      oceans that are rising and flooding the most beautiful places on Earth,
      French Tahiti, the Caribean islands, Netherlands. Desertification due to
      fossil fuel burning affects every 3rd world country on all continents and
      has already displaced millions of people in Peru into slums where they're
      rationed water they overpay for. Organic farming is being destroyed in
      favor of Corporate farming to maximixe profits of money also being destroyed.
      The world fresh water shortage crisis is also the world food shortage crisis.

      Gone are the 1000 year old natural meadowlands of the U.K.
      plowed under in favor of Corporate farming. Petrochemical
      artificial fertilizers which destroy the organic living soil and make
      the soil addicted to more petrochemicals continues to produce
      crops with inferior enzyme count which deplete the health of Brittish
      people depending on it for produce. Between that and GMOs,
      people are being cheated of their health, poisoned with Roundup,
      and their lives shortened prematurely to continue the world Big
      Oil Monopoly. Cuba is an island too, like the U.K. When Cuban
      dependance on Russian tractors, parts, and petrochemicals was
      discontinued, the Cubans were forced to return to organic farming.
      They are better off now for it. Does anyone realy believe that
      " shock troops " would exist to be sent to any country without oil ?
      Why would anyone considered normal want to be proud of defending
      a miserable existence like that ? Oil is called black Gold but you
      can't take it with you. Nor can you eat or drink oil in the here and now.

    • I hope that one day soon the world becomes enlightened enough to realize that this occupation and any type of killing is not what any civilized person should do.

      It is against God's law and man's law. Wake up world and all the killers in it and stop trying to kill what you don't understand. At least act like you have brains even if you don't have the capacity to enlighten yourself.
