Generation Kill - 1st Recon Punches Through Al-Gharraf - Animated 

Love the little detail that the rear right door of Brad's humvee isn't returning fire since Rolling Stones was sitting there

The fact no one died while running the gaunlet in Humvee's absolutely blows my mind.

You got to hand it to who built that bridge. Thats a good goddamn bridge.

It's absolutely ridiculous that RU-vid demonetizes a channel like this. It's frickin animated recreations if historic events. We really appreciate the work the team puts into these videos. I know it isn't easy.

Imagine blowing away a group of dudes Marching towards you in a parade formation with a fucking cannon. Jesus christ that must have been grisly to see

"Find me the quickest path though the town" "Thats insane!! Okay."

The guy that was driving the 5 ton that pulled our HMMWV out of the sopka was Staff Sergeant Brinkert....super good dude.

"As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said, if the day does not require an AK... It is good"

The fact that this video came out a day after I finished binge watching generation kill proves that you're watching me through my windows. I just have to figure out which one

Weirdly, the show doesn't portray Colbert's vehicle actually driving into that mud, but it does portray Colbert's efforts to chisel it off the bottom of his humvee.

IM DENYING THE ENEMY TRANSPORTATION

“I was just elucidating on the white man’s burden, Dawg”

Hey Ops Room, love the content. I'm still recovering losses and dealing with insurance over our property being wiped off the map this past summer by a large wildfire in BC, Canada. So we are pinching pennies. My entire support and appreciation goes out to you and your crew, and when financial straits are fully back to normal, I will absolutely be joining youtube, patreon, and anywhere else to help support you, because believe it or not, while we were evacuated and in uncertain straits about whose properties were lost and whose weren't, your videos helped keep my mind somewhat occupied, as opposed to being a total anxious mess. So I owe you. And I'll make good on that, you can be certain. Please go on and keep creating the great content you always have, and I'll always give it a watch and a like, for all that helps, until I've paid my debt back. Thank you Ops Room. Sincerely, Jay Edit: Spelling error.

More like Trombley? More like TROMBLEY?!

Can't believe you were demonetized, this is one of the few channels that makes me genuinely excited for new uploads.

GROOOOMING STANDARD! By first lights tomorry, I expects all of yall to be clean shaven.

I was in the USAF 2002-2008 as an Iraqi translator. Opsec meant we didn't get the full picture of what was going on. So it's interesting all these years later to see what happened in more detail. Interesting on a personal level, but I want to be clear that I regret all the trauma and strife that have happened to the Iraqi people. They are, a few bad actors aside, a wonderful people with a beautiful culture. نتمنى لكم جميعا مستقبلا جيدا

Generation KIll is indeed a great show!

“Gimme some of that sweet November Juliet😁” “What’s November Juliet?” 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

I hate the social media company logic of "Follow our rules, or you get punished" while in the same breath: "How dare you ask what the rules are, you are just trying to avoid punishment!"

Saw Generation Kill years ago. Didn’t realize this battle had 2 future Defense Secretaries in it (Mattis and Austin)…

I absolutely despise that "Well we can't tell you because we don't want you to work around that policy." In other words, "We're not going to tell you what you did wrong because we just want to steal your ad revenue."

You should have rolled into battle with a sword, Brad

What a coincidence. I just started watching this series for the first time a few minutes ago. ...is the Ops Room inside my walls

Can only imagine how it felt to be that reporter stuck in the last group of vehicles to go through a city filled with hostiles, knowing they understand your route and are just waiting to open fire. Hats of to combat reporters, takes courage to stand on a battlefield armed with nothing but a camera

CAUSE IM JUST A TEENAGE DIRTBAG BABY

I served with the then LTCOL Dowdy when he was CO of 1/1 BLT, the GCE that was part of 11 MEU embarked on my ship, the USS PELELIU (LHA 5) back in 1999. Talked with him a few times, tough and resourceful. I was very surprised when I heard what happened to him during OIF. Word even reached those of us out to sea with the ATF.

That dude jumping into the river is a fine detail :D

About the Parade Formation : I think it was desperate attempt to hold the tanks untill the charges detonate.

“At least my mom took me to NASCAR”

I just finished generation kill yesterday. Interesting to say the least so I’m glad you’re braking down the events that actually happened

that's why movies and shows like blackhawk down and generation kill are important while not fully accruate they do offer insight and combined with videos like that make situation even more clear

Cpl Josh Ray Person: So yeah, [Puts on sunglasses] homes, we pimpin'. - Get Some

Seeing this video brings me back to Najaf. I was deployed with the 3ID during all this, it was as absolute nightmare for a young barely 19 year old me. We saw constant combat for nearly two days straight, it was hell.

Thanks for the video, Generation Kill's one of my favorite series.

This is like sprinting from your house to your car when it's raining and hoping to run fast enough to not get wet.

Whopper Jr Whopper Jr

My cat just suddenly started watching this video intently, following all the arrows and troop movements.

I am following you for years and i from the first video i saw it was obvious immediately that this is going to be a top quality channel. Im glad the community agrees!!

You guys do a great job providing accurate retellings of historic battles. I'm sorry YT is not transparent with their policies, but please know I enjoy your videos greatly. Thanks for what you guys do, I wish your team eternal success!!

Would love to see the Chechen wars explained, since they're conflicts very few people know about

Thanks a bunch for the incredible detail. Colvert, who I presume was a Lance Corporal, commanding the Humvee that got stuck in the quagmire, was quite right in not abandoning his vehicle, choosing instead to adapt and overcome adversity. Marines learn that in boot camp.

Ironic that it's still called "Google support" when internal policies prevent them from supporting anything.

Until recently, I lived in a region of Catalunya called Garraf, and watching this video lead me to discover that the name actually comes from Arabic. Funny how these two places so far apart have virtually the same name with the same etymology.

"History is what i want" - RU-vid, probably

I literally just finished watching this series wtf I am so glad I came by this channel to check and see about Iraq War videos

jumpscared by my name at the end, great video as always!

I love your animations. That’s so cool.

RU-vid: You're in breach of our rules. Channel: What rules am I breaking? RU-vid: That's for us to know and for you to make wild guesses Mwah ha hah!. Channel: @#$%!!!

the veterans love your videos because some of the people watching your videos about the recent invasion of afghanistan/iraq were there

I wish I had more capital to 'Patreon' a bunch of creators. For now the best you can do is to diversify onto other platforms. None of this will change unless there is real competition between platforms. Great work as usual!

This type of animation would go perfectly with a documentary or something similar, you guys should consider a collab for that!

Danger close...?....?

Literally just rewatched the whole series. Still one of the absolute best ever made

Remotetized.

Another great episode and Generation kill is one hell of a show.

I will never understand why the news can show whatever they want and are still monetized but your content is demonetized for showing flags.

Thank you for reminding me to rewatch Generation Kill. "More like TROMBLEY??"

Tempo, tempo, tempo.

i started rewatching generation kill....this very episode last night before this yt video dropped...

Rest in Peace Reporter

Just listened to this book and watched the mini series. This is very well done.!

I would definitely pay for a strategy game based on your map graphics. Make it like a simulation game where you can recreate historical battles or play a campaign. Think about it! Love your channel!

wow. another amazing release. thank you! the team must be so proud. i live on a fixed income and cannot support via patreon, but i want you all to know how much i love the channel.

¡Gracias!

Do the entire generation kill series

I love the versatility of the US military. Such great well trained soldier capable of taking on twice the odds.

Fun fact, the Rolling Stone reporter would actually earn their respect to many of the recon marines. You got respect the guy was willing to put himself in harms way in order to report.

Trombly? TROMBLY!

That parade formation is crazy, bold, brave, and most importantly crazy.

congratulations for reaching 1 million subs😮

Just finished watching Generation Kill. Thanks for this! I hope you cover some of the other episodes as well. Maybe that ambush part on a bridge. That show made me realize that incompetent officers within your ranks are scarier than the enemy.

RU-vid censorship 🤡🤡🤡🤡

One of the soldiers "Jason Lilley" is in the channel Savage Actual, cool af with his co host Patrick.

Have you tried joining Nebula? Your work is so high quality that I think they'd love you.

Thank you for doing these videos despite the sad state of online entertainment regulations. I'd imagine that a channel with talented people as you could do other more profitable projects in line with these regulations, yet you keep covering important and educational topics about the world we live in. Thank you for staying true to your principles!

It's actually sad what youtube has become

14:07 I like that the guys in the top right column are still shooting at nothing

I hope you'll make some videos about the Kurds. I know a former female Peshmerga fighter, currently living in Finland. A remarkable woman. Works as a nurse, though if you had to guess, you'd think she was a bouncer or a dominatrix.

I hear Force Recon and the name Trombly, I was like Generation Kill!!! Been so long since I watched it.

Babe wake up, The Operations Room uploaded a new video.

My son was with Task Force Tarawa and fought thru Ambush Alley. He lost a lot of brother Marines that day. He doesn’t talk much about to this day.

THEY COULD BE COMING FROM ALL SIDES

Liked it before even finishing the video. I know it's going to be top notch as usual.

Video starts at 2:03 Before that is the Patreon ad. Feel free to support them, even when skipping it.

"I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request, Savvy?”

Maybe you can join Nebula I heard it is supposed to be really good for the creators

Love the content as always, could you add a scale bar to the graphics? I like knowing the scale of things

Have you guys done the battle between u.s. forces and wagner mercenaries in syria back in 2018? or was youtube a meanie about that battle too?

Excellently told by yourself and your graphics team. Awesome account. ❤

RU-vid really need to do something about demonetising channels like yours, it's becoming a joke.

Operations room does a great job at displaying what happened as best they can.

Good god now youtube is supressing retelling actual history this platform is a joke 😂

WE LOVE YOU BEST CHANNEL EVR

Brig Gen Lloyd Austin. The current Secretary of Defense?

Dude I love your recreation of battlefields and the exploration of what happen during firefights. Great stuff keep it up.

POHLICE THAT MOOSTACHE!

I don't know how I feel about them opening up on the guys Marching. In parda formation

POLICE THAT MOOSTACHE!!!!!

Hello, my friend! Great contet as always. Can you please do a video about the actions of the MSOT 8222 aka Dagger 22 in Bala Murghab, Afghanistan in 2010? The Marine Raiders are a subject that intrigues me the most. Thank you! Greetings from Brazil!
