@LostHemingway Because the video that I was able to collect at the time had them listed as Abrams tanks. After posting the video it was brought to my attention immediately that they tanks in the video were French Leclercs. As a result that footage has not appeared in any of my videos since. I apologize for the mistake, but it is what happens when you are required to dig about for footage that is not made readily available.
Shame this tribute doesn't really play homage to any of America's allies who also fought and died alongside American troops, such as the British and the other NATO allies.
@TheArmchairSoldier Well the tanks there are the French Leclerc tanks, but aside from that I did not have access to our allied footage. As for the music it is the theme from the Romeo Must Die trailer.

Good work, very nice. Don't worry about what the hippies post in the comments, they are just afraid to go over and do the work themselves. They seem to think that people who's sworn goal "world Islam" will leave us alone somehow.
Also, thats a Leclerc tank (France) not an Abrams.
yes that has come to my awareness by some conversation in PM. I appologize for the confusion, but I was not aware of the differances, and the footage when I recieved it was claimed as being "Abrams" tanks. I have since discontinued using any footage from that source and am trying to be more reliable and consistant in the future.
No, I have been in Iraq twice and I personally know there is the Taliban there. It's just not advertised just like how we find Iranian weapons and personel there too. And if this is for oil like you say, then that explains all our new found oil and why gas prices are so cheap. Oh wait, gas is expensive and you are an idiot. I don't care for The Howling Truth because you are an idiot.
Oh yes I am an idiot. Last I checked the deal with oil is right about were it belongs. Our president is an investor in oil companies. So what better way to make more profits than a manufactured oil crisis. This is about oil, not getting more to make it cheep, but raising prices and continuing our supply. I have respect for the soldiers who have been on duty over there, and I do not wish to argue with them. However there is a lot of information that is NOT told.
Of course there is not a lot of information not being told, that is the politics of politics. But if you say that our Pres. is and investor of oil then if Obama or Clinton where to become Pres after Bush, then you are saying oil prices would change. They would become cheaper. It would not. Gas prices would still be expensive. You just have an X-Files theory. The complication of the theory is more justifying to you that common sense. At least you admit you are an idiot.
we r still at WAR,and God willing we will continue 2 b at war until the job is done. We aren't pulling out b/c some pussy ass goddamn liberals wanna win votes. war is NEVER favorable but sometimes it is a MUST. I wld like to also point out that in the clinton administration there were 9+ terrorist attacks on U.S. citiz civil and mil. What did he do? NOTHING. Now we r forced to take action. Now tell me how many attacks have happend since?none b/c our troops fight the fight for 4u.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's right little dick, GOD loves war. Sure he's willing, shit! He loves famine, genocide, and War. He especially loves the way our troops rape women and kill them. Fucking loves it!
Now shut up and get it hard monkey man! Let's get it on!
Reported on many Iraqi news sites, an Iraqi soldier killed 2 US soldiers & a captain for kicking a pregnant Iraqi woman.
The incident happened 2 days ago when an Iraqi soldier "Caesar Saadi" joined the US forces in a raid in Mosul, he opened fire after he saw the US soldiers started to beat and kick an Iraqi pregnant woman.
Lebanese newspaper Al-akhbar added: In the streets of Mosul, graffiti appeared on the walls yesterday saying: Well done Caesar
These are the atrocities and events that I do not condone in any way by US or any other armed forces. However I do wish to give praise to the Iraqi soldier for standing up in defense of his people, unfortunately there should have been another way to do it.
Thanx for that thoughtful response. Based upon the posts I see on many of the "tribute" and "marine recruiting" sites, the US military is recruiting and breeding anti-arab, anti-muslim morons that have no respect for the people they supposedly are there to free.
That is a hateful and false thing to say. Just a few weeks ago there was a beautiful story about a soldier who adopted an orphan Iraqi boy with cerebal palsey. Our troops are not being taught to hate anyone but the enemy. Right now the enemy happens to be Muslim extremists.... that does not mean our troops hate all Muslims, all arabs, all persians, or semites.
And NO ONE should be inciting or encouraging violence against our troops.
But that's all a joke anyway. This war is about OIL, pure and simple. The 911 Comm rpt in combination with the DSM, & Senate PhII Rpt show that there was NO THREAT. Imminent threat was the premise used to invade in spite of the UN Security Council vote NOT to approve invasion.
that is why I did a second piece about the truths and lies of what has happened in iraq. Ironically I was just rewatching it when you posted this reply, I hope that you follow up on watching that as it is much more along the lines you are thinking here
If this war is about oil, where is it? If this war is about oil why havn't we just robbed the Iraqi people of it and taken it for ourselves for cheap?
All 100 billion barrels are in the ground waiting for us to get our heads out of our asses and smooth over the insurgency we didn't see coming.
In the mean time, the instability we create moved oil prices from an avg of $18/barrel during Clinton's administration to $102/barrel yielding RECORD PROFITS for oil companies.
We are robbing the Iraqi people. We've privatized all their industries and they're in the hands of wealthy jews.
Do you know why people around the world hate us (Americans), its because of our patriotism. They think we are overly patriotic, as far as i'm concerned, that is a good thing. People think that peace can only be achieved by cookies and flowers. I guess it didn't occur to them that they might actually have to bleed a little to achieve some degree of peace.
hmm... If you dont like to fucking bad. Us Americans dont take shit from other countrys. We wanted them to be free, hell if they didnt attack kuwait in the 90's we prob wouldnt fuck with them. Soon the world will be peacefull a lot due to americans. That stupidity u talk about is talking about my brothers and sisters because I am also a US soldier
That is a good one, kinda somber though. Iraq needed liberation and hope. That is the problem with the whole region---no hope or sense of purpose. They only want to pray and die for jihad. The anti-semitism is a hallmark of a troubled society looking to blame a race of people for its plight.
The day of reckoning has not even begun to touch the surface of this war. Watchout yonder you exteme Muslims and terrorists! Be weary now, for the true sword and wrath of God will descend upon you! God Bless America and our brave soldiers!
you're brainwashed... the PNAC was responsible for 9/11, do you really think that 19 hijackers with little or no flight experience could get past the best national security in the world with boxcutters? that's the conspiracy theory to me. Mesopotamia has been fighting for centuries and they're not going to stop because some American is pointing a gun at them
I also REALLY love when liberals come on here and they cant back up their shit so they criticize our grammar and punctuation. Just like a typical liberal/democrat. When they know they're cornered they attack you personally and in anyways they can to make you look bad. Lmao just priceless.
God this brings back great memories. We kicked some serious ass when we invaded. I cannot wait to go back and invade Iran next. Those nuclear dumbasses have threatened us and manipulated us for the last time. What do you think is going to happen when a democrat wins the presidency. She'll fucking invite ahmedinejad to the white house with the bomb strapped to his chest.
Real patriots who may resist the [foreign]intrigues of the are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests...the impostures of pretended patriotism. --George Washington's Farewell Address
A slick military propaganda piece for the impressionable and gullible. Flashy, lots of big toys, fireworks and dead bodies. Who is ecalating this Iraqi war? Iraq or teh US? Didn't Bush just authorise another 30,000 troops for this quagmire that is supposed to be bringing peace, freedom and democracy to IRAQ?
Too bad the producer never graduated from high school given the many spelling and punctuation mistakes. He needs to avenge the casualties, not revenge them.
Think what ever you wanna think Jester149, but thaousands of good Soldiers gave away their lives for true freedom, if the whole world would think stuff like you, where would it be?
I support democracy. What "You" are doing in Iraq is nothing else than undemocratic. I have nothing against The USA itself, only the people who run it. And theres no need of calling me an asshole, even though I don agree with you, I still respect your opinions, something you should do too. Again, sorry for the bad punctuation and spelling.
Yeah, sorry, I`m from Norway, so I don`t type english that well. If you`re a professional at killing people, you`re no better than a terrorist. Attacking Iraq had nothing to do with freedom, security and safety. It`s kinda clear.
The real terrorsists are the US Governemnet, for sacrifising both iraqi and american lives for OIL, I cant believe you`re buying the shit the US Government feed you
For one, learn some punctuation and spelling, asshole. Second, don't badmouth the government because you don't understand it, because it gave you what you deserved, or because you don't have the balls to go and defend what it provides for you: Freedom, Security and Safety. We are not terrorists, we are Professionals, and Democracy is our Policy
soldier with honour,that im not,if bush told me to go,i have to go,not for country,but for the judeochristian president,i could of said no,but im here fighting for who knows what,free iraq,yeh,if we kill everyone in it,im just another loser on a power trip,and if i make it out alive,the money will come in handy
the music has been used twice in the movies. Once on the Dark Angel Soundtrack, and then the version I am using was the Trailer for Romeo Must Die, both by Craig Armstrong an Excellent composer and master of movie scores.
well two things, the gramatical errors were because I had been up for about 28 hours when I made this, and only realized it later at which point it would be nearly impossible to fix, and the video is a collection of misc video available from many online hosting sites.
the B-1b bomber that you are referring to was used in Iraq, though not as extensively as in Afghanistan or the last time that troops were deployed in Iraq. The B-1b lancer is a long range hard site attack weapon used to hit underground bunkers and large areas of known troop deployment. Though most of the fighting was done by ground troops the B-1bs did see service along with many other fighter jets.
yes I realize that, and there are several spelling mistakes in it, but it was about 3 in the morning and I had been up for 21 hours when I was doing this, so considering I passed out as soon as I finished I think it turned out fairly well.
The tank you saw is not a French Leclerc tank, but infact the M3 Bradley which has a design that has been adopted by the UN and many countries have adapted the design for their own needs making them look very similar. The only disadvantage in spotting military vehicles is the UN adaptations that make so many countries equiptment look alike. The video that the clip is from is from the 101st airborn cameramen on the 101st's insertion into Bahgdad Iraq. Thanks for the question and sharp eye!
There is the Leclerc tank, though. Look at the time 1:20 and the seconds leading up to that. The Bradley and the Leclerc are not similar looking vehicles.
I thought you were commenting on another tank at a slightly later point. The tank in question there is the abrams tanks from the training grounds in the US. I do see the similarities between them and will have to investigate furthur to see if my footage is incorrect or if there is another reason for this. I will post reply if I can determine the solution.
The Leclerc gun does not have a borovac. Abrams does.
The front skirt as well as turret shape also identify this tank as the Leclerc. Also, the gunner's sights differ. Another huge give away is the CITV unit on the Leclerc, which is more prominent than the ones used on the M1A2.
You can google each tank online to compare or if you want me to find you images, I can.
All Marine tankers are trained in AFVID (Armored Fighting Vehicle Identification)
Well thanks for clearing that up. I was honestly not aware of the subtle differances that are now so obvious since you point them out. I will make note of that for future refferance and will also make ammends to my library so that I do not mistakenly use this footage again. I am glad to see that people in the armed forces appreciate this as well.
Thank you for the kind comment. I just feel the need to honor our soldiers, and to make the people understand that this is a chosen way of life like many other jobs that involve life and death. This job is just much higher profile and makes the news more often. To our soldiers stationed here and abroad, keep doing your duty to keep freedom alive.

ive forgot the name of the bomber 2:14, whats the name again? ...did they used it on iraq??

the B-1b bomber that you are referring to was used in Iraq, though not as extensively as in Afghanistan or the last time that troops were deployed in Iraq. The B-1b lancer is a long range hard site attack weapon used to hit underground bunkers and large areas of known troop deployment. Though most of the fighting was done by ground troops the B-1bs did see service along with many other fighter jets.

when it says "they will be revenged" it should actually say they will be AVENGED" just letting you know, other then that, moving.

yes I realize that, and there are several spelling mistakes in it, but it was about 3 in the morning and I had been up for 21 hours when I was doing this, so considering I passed out as soon as I finished I think it turned out fairly well.

Why is there a French Leclerc tank in this video?
LostHemingway 5 years ago
The tank you saw is not a French Leclerc tank, but infact the M3 Bradley which has a design that has been adopted by the UN and many countries have adapted the design for their own needs making them look very similar. The only disadvantage in spotting military vehicles is the UN adaptations that make so many countries equiptment look alike. The video that the clip is from is from the 101st airborn cameramen on the 101st's insertion into Bahgdad Iraq. Thanks for the question and sharp eye!

The music is really good, by the way.
There is the Leclerc tank, though. Look at the time 1:20 and the seconds leading up to that. The Bradley and the Leclerc are not similar looking vehicles.

I thought you were commenting on another tank at a slightly later point. The tank in question there is the abrams tanks from the training grounds in the US. I do see the similarities between them and will have to investigate furthur to see if my footage is incorrect or if there is another reason for this. I will post reply if I can determine the solution.

The tank in question is the French Leclerc tank.
I am a Marine tank gunner for the M1A1 Abrams battle tank. I served in Iraq and have spent a lot of time on them.

The Leclerc gun does not have a borovac. Abrams does.
The front skirt as well as turret shape also identify this tank as the Leclerc. Also, the gunner's sights differ. Another huge give away is the CITV unit on the Leclerc, which is more prominent than the ones used on the M1A2.
You can google each tank online to compare or if you want me to find you images, I can.
All Marine tankers are trained in AFVID (Armored Fighting Vehicle Identification)

Well thanks for clearing that up. I was honestly not aware of the subtle differances that are now so obvious since you point them out. I will make note of that for future refferance and will also make ammends to my library so that I do not mistakenly use this footage again. I am glad to see that people in the armed forces appreciate this as well.

Thank you for the kind comment. I just feel the need to honor our soldiers, and to make the people understand that this is a chosen way of life like many other jobs that involve life and death. This job is just much higher profile and makes the news more often. To our soldiers stationed here and abroad, keep doing your duty to keep freedom alive.
