Some of you people don't know the hell you talking about all. Thank god for the U.S.A. Am from Grenada, and if it was not for the U.S. me my mom and dad will be dead
I'm pretty sure Reagan would have ordered the invasion before the assassination of Maurice Bishop. This was more of a fear of Cuba rather than concern for Grenadians and US medical students.
@ranac10 That is a possibility. Of course Grenadians will tell you that the CIA set the whole thing up. One peculiar thing about President Reagan is that when he was a young man he was a Lifeguard. He did 23 water rescues in that time. I served as a Lifeguard for a while and most of us never lose the "Lifeguard Mentality". If people were in a bad situation he went into Lifeguard mode. Nonetheless, the overwhelming concern with Grenada went well beyond Grenada or the students, no doubt about it.
@goldenkid1981 Because I fought in the battle, back when you were two years old, my historical context and commentary carry more weight than your remarks.
The thing about the media reminds me about the 1972 Munich massacre, one of the first attempts was called off because the TV crews were filming the cops who were setting up the rescue attempt. This meant any terrorist in the building watching the TV would have seen them coming. Keeping out the media was just as you said "Common sense."
@Skytroop I wish I could say that I've got something new to produce but my publishing capabilities have been limited here of late. Thank yoou for the compliment.
I remember watching the news footage when I was kid, seeing ours soldiers made me want to be a U.S. soldier. I was an combat engineer in the Gulf War 1990.
@mattlocke06 It seems to work out that way. I knew I was going to serve in the military since I was a kid. Military service was a rite of passage in my family.
you're sad...I did mean appraise...as in value the so called 'contributions' you guys claimed to make...no one will waste their time on that..'cause your Country's so called 'efforts' in 'freeing' Grenada is not worth valuing since it is not welcomed...You should try to open your vocabulary...but chh, that's impossible
Go ahead with the name calling..I do hope it's satisfying you :) haaaaa
@summermarley10 Obviously you weren't there in 1983 or if you were, you were on the side of the Revolution that justified the murder of innocent Grenadian citizens. I have a LOT of Grenadian friends who still appreciate the effort, in spite of the fact that your countrymen seem to have not made the most of it. No need to call names. History as well as your fellow citizens have judged you and yours.
Well done videos. Too bad folks here do not READ and instead post their opinions without using facts. There was a bloody mess in Grenada, the revolution was forced upon the people there, and the U.S. was worried about their citizens. Now, the medical students were not used as pawns, but based on the bloody MURDERS the week before, how could Reagan know they wouldn't be in harm's way? Read Atkins' book on the operation, THEN post with facts, not stupidity.
The Revolution was accomplished by force of arms. Grenadians were promised elections. Grenadians lost the opportunity to choose anything once the Communists were in power and most every Grenadian I know is grateful that they were liberated from their oppressors.
Hey Moreno, the people of Grenada did NOT have the opportunity to decide what was best for them. Communist Revolutionaries siezed power through the use of force to rid the island of a looney tunes guy who also used thuggery to keep the people in their place. They were real hardcore when it came to shooting unarmed civilians but when WE got there most of the thugs became PUNKS who had no stomach for facing REAL Soldiers. We saved a LOT of lives down there. Check yourself.
Communist thugs really? I do not support Communism, but I support a people's right to decide what is best for them. Where does the US govt get off really? Why is your way the best way? Why are you forcing your system down everyone's throat? Does that not make YOU a thug?
The US had to flex it's mussels. Nam still hurt. . So they took Grenada which 10 men with baseball bats could take. This was the beginning of serious press censorship. Panama was next. Another feel good skirmish.
100 percent incorrect decision by the US govt. Grenada wanted to improve on land reforms, education, and health care. Building an international airport is not a crime nor is receiving weapons to defend your country from American warmongers. Looking back now, the weapons seem warranted. To this day, Grenada loves Maurice Bishop. Even the US Congress said that not even 1 American citizen was ever touched by the revolutionaries, let alone injured by them. Not 1 American medical student was harmed.
@LordSnow69 that comment right there, proved to me you where never a SEAL., No SEAL would ever talk that way about Fellow Seals. I have grown up on many a military base and my Father was in Naval Spec Ops, and NEVER would they talk that way about the fallen.
Lordsnow69 is just a TROLL, hell he was never in the military, lot to learn LordSnow, Military people have a way of talking and explain things don't ever try to pose as one again.
100 percent correct decision by US govt and blessed military. Had to do what was needed to save our citizens. Grenada got too frisky with its Marxist ways and had to be dealt with. And wonderful call keeping the media out ! God Bless Reagan and the US military. Well done!
@LordSnow69 True. Schwarzkoph was the Deputy Commander and was aboard the Guam. The seaborne airmobile assault into Grand Anse was made on the fly by the Commander on the scene, based on his ability to grab some binoculars and get to a place aboard the Guam where had had a nice look at the Grand Anse Campus and the big fat sandy beach nearby. As he said; "It doesn't take a military genius to figure out what to do next".
@MadBrad325AIR I remember when they had us blow off about a million bucks worth of munitions so S4 wouldn't have to put it away when we got back. $10K dragon missiles launched into the ocean.
@LordSnow69 My Company, A Company 3rd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment was the first unit in the United States military to fire the Dragon Missile in battle. It happened n the afternoon of the 26th of October 1983 from near the residence of the Cuban Ambassador overlooking Dusty Highway at True Blue. The gunner had to make a shot that caused the missile guidance wire to drape over power lines going into town. This grounded the signal and sent it into the ground. More...
Great Documentary (Part 1 & 2), I would've cut the Right Wing Propaganda in Part 3 myself since it cheapens what the soldiers/Reagan done for the island that got hijacked by "power" hungry soldiers. Most Americans know the sacrifices that soldiers take when going on dangerous operations. Spewing right wing bias is really demeaning to their effort and actually hurts what the documentary intended to do in the first place (show the events as it happened and what the military did to change it).
To hell Reagan and America trying to project this scene and Americans as saviors ....and that God bless America note...GRENADIANS DON'T LIKE AMERICA......They have done not one thing to aid this tiny Islands..it's the communist country of Cuba that gave Grenada it's airport....hospital...China and Taiwan d stadium
why is it their only resolution to "problems" is war? And in this small Island their military forces were not welcomed.
Trying to stop our revolution...LONG LIVE MAURICE BISHOP...
maybe you should really look at the situation objectively before making your cheesy comments It doesn't make any sense trying to prove anything here to you
trying to make this look like Americans did this that the other I really don't know why you citizens won't wake up and realize what you should be doing trying to project your army and actions as all just and right
you were welcomed in Grenada just as you are in Iraq Iran where ever you go selfish ******
lol such propaganda, when it comes down to it, its what the granadians feel what was right, they have a holiday over this i belive its called. Font du liberation du Grenada. The Granadian governer general officaly got a msg out and asked for help. The mission was legal, A great moment in U.S history, to help a smaller nation from opression. and getting pretty much nothing in return.
This was one one the worst moments in US history -an aggressive Invasion of a small (pop.90,000)caribbean island--there is no celebration in Grenada of the invasion and the airport is now called Maurice Bishop International-Long Live the revolution!!!!!!!!!
@asdfgeyhhgjfuhfdgrta it's Grenada not granada...........and projected as a great moment in U.S history of course it was that's was all America does......use the media and flip things in their image
This invasion was not needed nor wanted by Grenadians
You should have been there in 1983 like I was. You would know how HAPPY Grenadians were to see U.S. Forces LIBERATING Grenada from murderous scumbags, the ones you worship.
@MadBrad325AIR yeah you're the very first i heard that from i must mention and I am entirely involved with people who were directly involved in this.....my family
any way you have your views and I will not get into a political debate on this with you...have a great day
@MadBrad325AIR if he was in the same situation, and saw himself in bondage and not freedom. and saw a military force come rescue him. i'm sure he be on that rescue chopper faster than anyone else
@Dogmeat1950 no one was taken hostage!!!!! Regan said at the potential risk of the students becoming hostages, that was the excuse given to go there. A damn massacre had just taken place, any leader in their right evil or not dwould enforce a damn shutdown and curfew.
@LordSnow69 O really.. then how come a Group of navy Seal's where holding off attacks while getting Grenada's Governor-General out of the country with his Family.
How come spy missions Photo's showed Troops around the College and of all things how come it was the Students that called saying they had been taken hostage...get out of here till you bring some real info.
Plus my uncle was in the Operation on a AC-130 those guys getting a good look at what's going on,
@Dogmeat1950 The Navy SEALs were busy drowning in the ocean. My unit (C Co. 2-505 commanded by Cpt. Ben Morris) captured the enemy general Austin, and the students were indeed scared for a few days but beyond that, they were untouched. I'm sure your uncle's vantage point up in the sky was much poorer than mine on the ground.
@Dogmeat1950 Where's your comment about me not being a SEAL? I got a notification that you posted it, but it's not here? Anyway moron, I wasn't a SEAL I was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne and you're a complete idiot. Would you like me to hunt up the NBC news footage of me that was shown around the world from the warehouse at Point Salines?
@pubqwert14 Sorry douchebag, but Grenadians praised us everywhere we went. They wrote GOD BLESS THE USA on the roads we walked down in white paint. Old women would bring us fresh-cut waternuts on the side of the road. I had people try to get me to take a letter they had written in thanks, to Reagan himself. Stop your idiotic posting you retarded dipwit.
@LordSnow69 you keep thinking that-when you imposed your ideologies and thought within these people you ought to get that....no one praises your frigging country for invading Grenada's lands, In fact, you are considered the worst thing to happen to Grenada. Do not think because you were able to use 'thought-control' back then you were welcomed or liked by Grenadians-the only people who may appraise you are those who are not conscious of their surroundings.
@summermarley10 Nobody imposed any ideologies on anyone in Grenada, moron. Our presence was a boon to their economy for at least 6 months to a year, just by patronizing the little stores dotted around the island. Nobody used any "thought control", you're a total idiot for even suggesting that. Some of the locals would use us to exact revenge on neighbors they had a beef with by telling us they were PRA when they weren't, but beyond that everyone on that island LOVED us being there.
@LordSnow69 And if Grenadians praised you so much then, why was Castro welcomed with open arms in the nineties, why is a Cuban government present at almost all functions our government hold, why was the Cuban government represented at the renaming of our international airport (after Maurice Bishop) in 2008? Why are there spray paintings on our streets and walls of 'long live the revolution' 'long live Fidel'..As much as this is hurting you, it's the truth..no educated Grenadian appraise America
@LordSnow69 Moreover, I dear not waste more of time responding to such a shallow headed individual like yourself...I can tell how narrow minded you are from your weak, ineffective argument and the terms you use in expressing yourself. Btw, you Americans are supporting a capitalist system, the same one that in no way supports you..your high level of false conscious is astonishing..
@summermarley10 Your grasp of English is what's weak here, you can't tell the difference between the words "praise" and "appraise". Shut your commie pinko pork hole, stupid idiot.
I was their with the intelligence officers-tell me the color of those radios and then I will believe you were there. Mr Mardasee-it was extremely violent and very humid and hot describe the color. the beach below was one klik away!
What radios are you talking about? If it's the transmitters I honestly can't recall the color of them. The radio antenna itself was on the roof and was maybe 75-100' tall and was red and white. The antenna was damaged during the evening of the 26th and later during that night it toppled over and broke into two pieces. Navy aircraft were dropping percussion bombs that night and the ground movement was strong enough that it rolled the antenna off a 800' cliff.....Anyways, did I say I was there?
It took me awhile to remember but now I remember. I was medically discharged from the Marine Corps after coming down with severe PTSD. I also have Dissociative Disorders but the Marine Corps had no problem with this disorder though except for my occasional amnestic bouts.
The color of those transmitters inside the radio station, they were in describing a pink color. They were reddish in color but still pink. A dark pink lets say.
The PRA did not flee on that third day of the invasion. They surrended. The PRA had regrouped and positioned itself around the spice island radio station on the evening of October 26 and on the morning of October 27 they surrended there on the beach below the radio station.
Yeah the press needs to present the commie pinko side of the story...

What radios are you talking about? If it's the transmitters I honestly can't recall the color of them. The radio antenna itself was on the roof and was maybe 75-100' tall and was red and white. The antenna was damaged during the evening of the 26th and later during that night it toppled over and broke into two pieces. Navy aircraft were dropping percussion bombs that night and the ground movement was strong enough that it rolled the antenna off a 800' cliff.....Anyways, did I say I was there?

asther,
It took me awhile to remember but now I remember. I was medically discharged from the Marine Corps after coming down with severe PTSD. I also have Dissociative Disorders but the Marine Corps had no problem with this disorder though except for my occasional amnestic bouts.
The color of those transmitters inside the radio station, they were in describing a pink color. They were reddish in color but still pink. A dark pink lets say.

The PRA did not flee on that third day of the invasion. They surrended. The PRA had regrouped and positioned itself around the spice island radio station on the evening of October 26 and on the morning of October 27 they surrended there on the beach below the radio station.
