I remember this quote from another video like this one said by a former marine: "A million Iraqis died because of you! My friends died because you lied!"
They're in Iran & Syria / Legend has it that those who engaged the Revolutionary Guards taking some of them over the border into Iran were friggin vaporized...
Excellent song, and quite fitting because this was again a war so many young Americans were sent into, only to die or come back so damaged that the eventually succumbed. My Dad was a Vietnam vet. My oldest friend was a Navy Seal in Iraq. Both are gone. I miss you, dad. I miss you, Dan. 💔
@@HMWAAScrew you honestly you probably haven't seen combat at all and your little 3rd world country was going down the drain anyways with or without an invasion your country had many invasions of itself so there's no place to say "good for him" both the iraqi and american soilders were the ones who suffered the most have a little respect. Don't ever blame the soilders that had no choice but to be drafted blame those who were responsible for starting that war.
@@HMWAALmfao your country can barely stand on its feet. What are you laughing about, keyboard warrior? You disregard human life simply because you are not in accord with an ideology? That's disgusting.
As an iraqi Rip for iraqis ppl and American too Both of us lost lots of good memories I hope everyone shall do his job for peace not for freedom Just peace and if u do the peace the freedom will appear with peace But if u do war the freedom will not appear
As an Iraqi God bless our fighters who killed the Americans and their allies. God bless anyone fight USA and Europe 🇷🇺🤍🇰🇵🤍🇨🇳 And don't care about this rat he is just 14 years old know nothing about America and the crimes

My dad fought In the Iraq war. Sadly, when he and his friend were walking, and they both accidentally stepped on a landline. Sadly, his friend died but lucky my dad survived. 5 months ago my daddy died. I’m only 14
I'm very sorry it may not mean much but as someone who respects and remembers history of past wars let me tell you your father was a Warrior and no one can take that away everything he did wasn't just for his country he was fighting for his loved one's and I thank you Sir go with God.
Im sorry man. When I have a child I hope he/she cares about my service the way you do about your dads. Thats all any of us ever want in the end-- is for our children to remember us kindly
I,m so sorry,My husband died eight years ago and my son was about your age when he died it,s heart breaking when you see a kid loose his or her parent so young but keep growing up I can bet your father is very proud of you.P,s,my husband was a army vet and my 21 year old is know a marine.
Can’t believe my dad went through shit like this it makes me so great full he made it back from falijua and Marjah may the Iraqi forces and Americans who fought the insurgents rest in peace.❤️
My dad fought in Iraq in 2003/2005 he lost a few friends, I went to his marine buddy’s house about a year ago and I saw some videos of how it kinda was for example, the Humvee right in front of my dads got hit by an RPG and blew up and from there things went from 0 to 100 quick
i remember the soviet afghan war was basically a hit and trial. you either got hit by a mental 14 year old kid with a sniper rifle or you got tortured by a middle aged afghani man
The saddest thing is that everyone says "respect for all American veterans of the Iraq war" except that Poles and British in particular fought there, as well as many countries NATO I know the Americans had the most casualties, but they weren't the only ones
@@chaoswarstcg6845 i aint a war vet you're right but i know what ptsd is but it's really rare and it mostly happens in armies where soldiers aren't prepared (like us army) that's why most former french soldiers don't have ptsd because they're trained correctly LMAO
@@romainloaec5912 i really dont wanna argue but imagine the horrors of the treches in ww1 where you can get gassed or raided any time soon and diseases like trech foot or rats and lice that spread numerous other diseases
@@chaoswarstcg6845 you know that ww1 was more than a hundred years ago ? Trench war ar no more a thing but war is peace because war is sometimes the only path for peace
كانت هذه الحرب غير شرعية وقتلت 50 ألف أمريكي ونصف مليون عراقي ، كل ذلك لأن الرئيس الأمريكي كذب في 11 سبتمبر 2001 ، وحصل الزعيم الثري على أموال من الحرب ، ولم يكن أحد يستحق أن يموت ، وسيظل جورج دبليو بوش إلى الأبد في أسوأ جزء من الجحيم
My dad served in Iraq with the U.S army in 2005-2015. He was a 88 Mike. (Essentially a transport truck driver) he had a M249 SAW as his main weapon. He told me a story of how he was near Bagdad, when an unidentified car pulled up beside their convoy of trucks. His buddy shouted from a PA system, and told the car to move. The car wouldn’t move. It would just sit there. My dad’s friend then said, “Load up and take aim.” As my dad did this, he shouted at the car, Hoping the car would move out of the way. It didn’t. He then put his finger in the trigger well and fired at the car. Turns out, the car was full of Iraqi Insurgents, scouting the area around the convoy. He told me this story every night before bed. I wish I could join the military and fight… I wish I could be like him…
0:52 Bro he only was trying to pray. Respect to those who fight on Iraq. Respect to the Iraqis because they fighted for nothing and respect to the Americas who fighted for a lie.
when i was at a checkpoint that stood on the border between afghanistan and tajikistan looking for IEDs and BMMs (Bomb making materials) my friend and i would jam out to this with our ANP counterparts all the time!
I'm from Baghdad born 1996, I remember when the Iraqi army dissolved into nothing. My father and uncles would bear arms against Saddams troops with no gear just their guns and a will to serve their families. Men with honor and duty even when they faced certain death. Today the world remembers them as terrorists, breaks my heart. By the grace of god i am still alive and healthy, hopefully Europe never experiences something as inhumane as this; And i pray Europe wakes up and remembers the dream of freedom they once had. True freedom not rights and privileges' or pleasures.
Iraq reminds me of East of Turkey where my father is from, my grandfather served as a mayor of Elbistan back when this whole terrorism and Kurdish independence thing began
Over 20 years later. It's insane what happened there. We were kids. I'm proud of what we did. We were Infantrymen. But was it worth a life of pain for what we accomplished? Pro Patria.
I fought with my friends and my brother against the dirty American aggression against Iraqi lands and the Iraqi people, and I have the honor that I fought against the Americans in Fallujah and wounded dozens of them, but unfortunately my brother was martyred during the battle, may God have mercy on him
I would hope to god that you took into retrospect that the Americans there were fighting- or at least attempting to fight against, the same people who killed thousands on september 11th, 2001. you may have not been one of those people, but the people fighting right next to you could have been.
@@pxrfxctgxrl6972 bro the whole war on terror was centered around the 911 attacks. Even then, we invaded Iraq because American soldiers were lied to that there was weapons of mass destruction h there.
Americans are still stationed in Iraq with no real stalemate. The American goal was also complete too, I mean the Americans quite literally executed your leader on Iraqi soil. Who's the real winner? Also, the only challenger to American presence with significant power is terrorists. So are you a terrorist supporter, or perhaps a terrorist?
@Vladolf_Pootler one day America and the whole Americans will feel the same The time for America will come but until that day come Mark my f*cking word Nobody have stayed on the power forever 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Whatever happened there, it was for the best. Thank you to the Americans for saving us from Saddam. Your intentions were bad, but God saved us through you and from you.
Yankee go home Yo del inglés conozco poca cosa, pues solamente hablo en español, pero entiendo a los pueblos cuando dicen: ¡Yankee go home! El inglés que yo tengo es muy escaso, es un inglés de “mister” y “hello”, pero entiendo a los pueblos cuando exigen: ¡Yankee go home! Lo dicen en Manila y en Corea, en Panamá, en Turquía y en Japón. El clamor es el mismo en todas partes: ¡Yankee go home! Con este inglés me basta, aunque precario, para gritar con fuerza y con razón y con criterio revolucionario: ¡Yankee go home! Me basta con mi voz nacionalista para exigir con firme decisión y con razones antimperialistas: ¡Yankee go home!
Also, yall shouldn't be talking. At least America didn't annex your ancestor's land to make a new state, despite them agreeing not to and agreeing that you are your own country.
I wouldn’t say it was the most meaningless war ever, yes many US troops lost there life’s but they did it in the name of freedom and protection to us the United States citizens. After 9/11 they whent there to stop bin Laden and they stayed there to help take out other activist groups that could do something like 9/11 agin to us. We also were able to help mend alliances and help get oil stations built. In the end though I will salute every US military member that fought or died in this war thank you for your service and god bless you all.
@@Jamesmac77, lol, even after 20 years, US doesn't control all Iraq. There are still insurgents (And especially supported by Iran), that raid US Army convoys. US army will retreat from Iraq and Syria, like they did this in Afghanistan
Stop being an idiot, the invasion of Kuwait was indeed unjustified in the eyes of many Iraqis and Iraqi demonstrations appeared in more than 14 Iraqi provinces in 1991 called the Shaabaniya Revolution demanding the removal of Saddam from power, but the Western media did not know about this, so Saddam annihilated these demonstrations. Even in the invasion of Kuwait, the Iraqi army did not have morale in the fighting because they knew they were wrong, and for this reason they lost a lot and many of them surrendered. In the end, I would like to tell you that Iraq paid more than its price in the Kuwait war at that time because of the blockade imposed by the United States, which caused more than 1,600,000 Iraqis to die, 500,000 of whom were children. All this according to the Western media, but what is circulated among Iraqis is that more than 4,000,000 Iraqis died. This is the difference between what the Western media is reporting and the truth, so do not try to compare the criminal invasion of Iraq by the United States and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, everyone knows that Iraq is the one who paid the price in both wars.
