  • Who got to bagdad 1st? The Marines? Oorah! Or the army?

  • Any one who goes into combat and isn't afraid is an idiot. These Marines weren't brave, they were terrified. Their courage was simply in the fact that they overcame that fear, and thats what makes them Marines. Semper Fi, Gentlemen.

  • does anyone know what happened to "HAND OF SADDAM" statue piece?

    I ask because myself and my other two Marines were the one's who took that from the statue that night . . . .

  • RIP White.....

  • For the record: The woodland Cammies weren't cammies at all. They were Nuclear, Biological, Chemical warfare suits (NBC gear). Pretty much weatherproof suit made from chemically treated pulverized charcoal woven somehow into a garment. VERY hot in the Iraqi desert!!!

  • I used to have that picture of Catherine Bell in her bra and military cover. haven't seen that pic in forever!I used to have that picture of Catherine Bell in her bra and military cover. haven't seen that pic in forever!

  • @MultiAsslover1 war is always bad and always will be bad

  • God bless these brave men.

  • Kill kill kill murder since day 1

  • lol they got woodland camo to wear in a desert

  • @aaronlin52 they had that because they didnt have high supply of desert camo @ the time, considering they hadnt been in war for over a decade so they really just had woodland camo theyd wear over in the states, and didnt have time to supply everyone with that stuff

  • @aaronlin52 most of them arnt and even if some were, there are bushes and some suburban areas with alot of vegitation to blend into.

  • @9:04 1st Sgt. Braddy (Currently Sgt. Maj.) is my Jrotc Marine Instructor.... extremely cool guy

    God bless everyone serving and those who have fallen will never be forgotten.

  • just amazing!

  • For those who think we shouldn't be in the middle east search Have You Forgotten and listen to the song.

  • We started this war believing we would all make it back, no fear of death-no enemy attack,but as our movements pressed on and time drifted away, many of our brothers are gone - i see my friend passed away, with the stitch of death and the taste of fear - have pushed through it all & the end is finally near, we won this war as many knew we would, but we still must fix this country and fix it for good, the war is over but there is still work to do, because as US marines, our job is never through.

  • Comment removed

  • Great documentary

  • "While traveling on that M track we would talk about 3 things; We would talk about women, we would talk about food, we would talk about cold beer"

    Damn Straight lol

  • Semper Fi I cannot wait to become a marine!

  • I had that poster of Catherine Bell in her bra and Marine cover in my dorm room at Lackland Air Force Base the day I graduated Basic Training. All my buddies stood around and saluted her. She was the best thing about boot!

  • Anybody who looks upon war enthusiastically hasn't truly seen war...

  • @chaosnider

    War is a Marines Playground

  • this is one of the greatest videos i have ever seen

  • i have been to so many furnals for fallen men and women i was in the military it is nothing i am going to forget no matter how hard i try shit like that stays with u for the rest of ya life. the US MILITARY is the best in the world

  • fuckin get sum

  • can marines have cell phones when they go to the middle east?

  • @ledzeppelinnnnnn they dont work there arnt any cell towers around

  • this is where journalism died embeding is a curse to journalism.

  • RIP LANCE CORPORAL WHITE

  • what cowards, ditching there uniforms to blend in.

  • The men lost in this video didn't die...they just went to hell and regrouped. Semper Fi Marines! 

  • @usmcFutureSoldier I'm laughing at your name wtf is a "usmcfuturesoldier".

  • america kicks major ass :) britain is the next closest

  • i kinda hate how the journalist keeps showing his face in that interview

    makes it seem that the documentary is about his experience imbedded with the marines, telling their story

  • @waddupnoob it IS about him being imbedded with the Marines, what do you think this video is about and how do you think it was made? dumbass comment

  • @crazyfireworks12 "A rare, inside look at life in wartime from the perspective of a battalion inside Iraq" i dont think it says anything about the perspective of an embedded journalist

  • Thank You!!!! Awesome Work you did sir (reporter)!!!

  • some died along the way, but ALL of them made history

  • W.M.D just something sold to the public to believe the Evil of Axis is out to get you. The streets of Baghdad and other towns were hostile and volatile, primarily because in the months before the war began Saddam Hussein had emptied nearly all of Iraq' prisons and the freed prisoners had access to looted weaponary. Paul Bremer disbanded the Iraqi militray in May 2003, that put 250,000 young Iraqi men out of a job, they then made improvised explosive devices (IED). The media is full of B.S.

  • You are history, you have every soldier that has ever served at your side. You are never alone. We you stay and fight, at that spit second you are in space and time. A living legend, the gift from God, to seek the truth in all man. You are our defense, in heaven as well as on earth. One has only you to look to for order, in chaos. "You are the It".

  • That man is the most respectable reporter I've ever seen.

  • People say there were no WMDs. Doesn't the gas in the beginning of the 14th minute count?

  • That was a bad ass speech at the end

  • also big pros to the camera crew with out them this video wouldnt exist

  • stupid commercials........why don't take something more difficult...like russia or north korea...they have been condictioned to kill people...they see people like cows.....little kids easier to take thier mind....see what video games do to kids......i want to kill people and get away with it...i want to be a marine...

  • @laterzz100

    fail

  • If you think about modern day warfare the fact that out of every one there only 71 died is amazing

  • very good video, it made me sad but i think it was good to know what goes on in a way. does anyone know of any videos like this that take place in afganastan??

  • marines aren't nice people nor are thy humble

    but they are protecting this country

    so whether you like them or not

    show some respect

  • @RayWilliamJohansen your an idiot marines are some of the nicest people i have ever met.

  • @RayWilliamJohansen ya dude you may not like them but they are strong anuff to pick you up and flow you like 6 feet o and dude im i have been whaching your alsome vids for like 7 mounths and they are still allsome keep makeing them.

  • @mastercollin22 Thats not ray

  • @mastercollin22 dude.... whats wrong with your spelling

  • Respect to the United States Marines!

  • How was this released in 1998??

  • @skittlesareyum48 Some kind of Youtube Glitch. It also said the same date on the last natgeo special I watched.

  • @skittlesareyum48 the downfall of the dictater sadam Husain is a complete differant war.... the warS in iraq have gone from 98-now.

  • @jjmaster14 We didn't invade in 98. You fail. It was like 90 or 91. And also, apparently a lot of people are having this glitch where the nat geos vids are saying they are from 98

  • @skittlesareyum48 Thank you for the correction:)

  • 0:00

  • We are all Green. Broke head or not. Reporter does not rate.

  • thanks guys for helping my Halliburton stock go up

  • Amazing video.

  • If you open the description box it says "Added: March 16, 2009".

  • Lt. Col. McCoy was there and Capt. Casey Kulhman and GySgt. Jack Coughlin all from the Book Shooter, Great Book!

  • oorah. to all marines. 

  • AWSOME VIDEO

  • Very good....I enjoyed that.

  • So Fascinating

  • hahaha u guys were probably born in 98 just incase u didnt know there were 2 iraq wars

  • @drakebob17 that was 1991 and our troops left in 1994.

  • @drakebob17

    there were never two iraq wars there was the gulf war and operation iraqi freedom

    gulf war was in 1991 but the us never took over iraq we liberated kuwait in iraqi freedom which was in 2003 we took over iraq

  • chinese marine yo

  • The reporter wasn't wounded by Taliban I'll bet money on it. I would almost guarantee it's Al Queda because he would have been filming from Tora Bora because of the geography, timeline, and that artillery shell would have come from a mortar because that tank he was by was on a place called "mortar ridge" where Al Qeuda could rain mortars on convoys. Also note the American wearing a Muhj hat in full battle gear, CIA or Delta much?

  • @CovieCommander

    he could be a private security contractor but definetly not regular infantry

  • @SaintsSpecOps Don't quote me on this, but I don't believe we had PSC's in Afghanistan in 01'-02' unless they were a personal sercurity detail for NGC.

  • If planning to watch"21 Days to Baghdad", it is almost the same as this show. Why would NGC make two separate docs that are almost identical?

  • @pucksterz12

    money

  • this reporter has balls lol

  • LMAO.. When Gary called MSNBC... The look on his face, just.. WTF? LMAO.

  • 1998????

  • the itroduction was outstanding (when he introduced all the marines in the a.p.c)

  • Thank you for the video, it was amazing.

  • DEATH is the #1 enemy.

  • oorah

    

  • @Advandnaruto its actually hoo-ah not oorah lol

  • @TheRathlok not army marines dude search it up

  • @Advandnaruto no thanks , its not that big of a deal

  • @TheRathlok yeah

  • @TheRathlok its actually a Huge deal. You would never Say Oorah in the Army. and you would never said Hooah in the Marines. Just Different Branch's saying different things. Personally im in the army so i say hooah my friend in the marines says oorah.

  • @rendstar22 I'm gonna be sighning my life away in Oct 25.

    Going to be Army CID.

  • Comment removed

  • Ahaha, how was this uploaded in 1998?

    Youtube was made in 2005.

    Oh well, that doesn't matter :)

  • Holy shit, NatGeo went back in time and uploaded this in 1998!!!

    I always knew time travel was real xD

  • stop bitching about the release date and just watch the fucking video and thank the men and women who serve.

  • my brother is in the 3-4

  • 10 years later still in that shithole lost about 4000 but thats what the media claims the real facts is way more than that!

  • @marcusos1111 the men who lost their lives in this war knew the risks and dangers when they signed up, they did it anyway because innocent people need our help and terrorists need a boot in their ass. i bet if the fallen soldiers had a second chance they would do it all over again.

  • @Grafik5280 You got that right, Im proud to be in the National Guard, I cant wait to get my dick wet. haha sorry for the language.

  • @Grafik5280 thats some deep shit man i 100% agree

  • @GHANDII62 thanks man

  • @Grafik5280 Semper Fi!!

  • @Grafik5280- Semper Fi

  • @Grafik5280 too bad no one needed our help in iraq and there were no terrorists there before we occupied it

  • @LukeLegere We invaded Iraq because of Saddam Hussein's Regime. It had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda

  • @carameloxx don't you think thats a bit much??? sure all the terrorists can stick a fish up there ass but ALL muslims?

  • @carameloxx Muslims have the same right to live as every race, creed and color in the world. To say kill all Muslims if a sign of ignorance. How would you like to have all whites killed? Everyone should have the equal chance to survive. Much better to say kill all terrorist...Terrorist not only consist on Muslims but we have American terrorist and every nation on this planet has terrorist.

  • @ScarRebel ISLAM IS NOT A RACE STOP TRYNING TO STEREOTYPE AND 2 FACE TALK LIKE THOSE LIEING MUSLIMS IF YOUR NOT 1.....AND IM NOT WHITE

  • ha on that amphibious assault vehicle they wrote Yoda on it
