[ffmark94]

you werent kidding; it is alittle bit different now. Im finally here, and just a couplemiles from all the stuff in this video. Thanks again for putting this up!!!

[pvfd809]

I just watched the video i was on abunch of the scenes i was stationed in the green zone from June 2003 to June 2004 the car bomb on the 14th of July bridge check point killed a really good guy that worked for us i was one of the MP's at Camp Purgatory near the tall bathist party building i was always wondering who zoomed past me in the yellow Dodge durango. I was sad to see the green zone Wal-Mart got blowed up and the cafe.

[ffmark94]

this really gives me the best understanding as too what to expect. i have all paperwork in and just waiting on my physical and passport...Thank you for sharing your expierences.

@ffmark94

This will give you some idea, but things have changed a lot since this video was made. All of our rigs are american built now. The war side of it has scaled down a lot. It's still a good experience though.

[notobeanassbut]

pretty cool! did you lose any guys over there? hope not. how many guys were in a station at a time?

[Firedog004]

@notobeanassbut

(Knock on wood) None of our guys have been lost. We run out of 5 stations, can't really get into numbers of personnel though.

interesting movie for me - this iraq war just seems so dirty now - but anyway check it out online Latest Release movies - dot --com

[KombiPode]

People who lived in the green zone have no idea what it was like out there and what terror and horror the Americans brought to Iraq.

[Firedog004]

@KombiPode

That's a pretty ignorant and stupid thing to say....You obviously don't know anything about the Green Zone or it's residents.

[bullzisnipr3]

GREAT video. Thanks for your service!!

[jethromayham]

Green zone security: there is none.

Pull the troops out or stay at the bases until they sort out the mess themselves. Do not add blame by entering the mix. KEEP Put until they beg you for assistance.

[Tir1962]

I just left the IZ...SUCKS now....used to be relatively cheesy duty...it just sucks now....the were supposed to close the CSH on the 15th...dont get hurt if u go there!!!!

I am going to college for a dual degree in Fire Protection Technology as well as Emergency Managment.

What are some companies that contract fireman to the military, and how do i get into contact them? What are some prerequisites?

[ZIGAFPD1]

[RBFF123]

I'm going to give the Baghdad fire department credit for being over there in danger and still have passion to fight fires. Anyone know what branch firefighters they are? Army or Air Force?

[USArCOWARDS]

Nail the green zone!

Nail the green zone!

Someone should sell the iraqis about 50,000 heavy mortas so they can wipe the green zone off the face of the plaent.

[eks1966]

Great photography, great editing! Thanks for posting. It is so cool to be able to see first hand accounts of what's been happening in Iraq.

2Feb08  "The number of suicides committed in the U.S. Army continues to grow. As many as 121 servicemen committed suicide in 2007, which marked the increase of more than 20 percent as opposed to 2006." WHY??

[skinsm409]

[madogmedic]

Your video brings back memories. I was in the Al Salam Palace, that was later named L.S.A. Highlander in 2004. Did you ever visit that F.O.B.?

[saltydog45]

If your still over there,Stay safe. My father was in the New Zealand fire service for sixteen years. A hazardous enough job let alone without rockets, suicide bombers,and AK 47 toting insurgents!

[TaskOrder151]

1st, Scotdoc, haa ha you're such a tool...since nothing Bush says ever happens anyway, why bother? Think anyone over here cares?

Dano! good fucking video! I like the way you put it togather. but whats with the random non-Greenzone and non-firedept pix scattered in there? And that controlled det pic in the middle of the Haji market kaboom?

Anyway...I really like the video, well done!

[SCOTSDOC]

Why is the war still going on??? President Bush is feeling the heat!.."Under intense pressure to change course, the President on Tuesday rejected suggestions Iraq has fallen into civil war and vowed not to pull U.S. troops out "until the mission is complete."

[dwyerb]

pretty eerie to see these images while listening to the words being sung: "am i part of the cure, or am i part of the disease..." I hope you guys know that irrespective of the overall efficacy of this Iraq war, you guys are making differences in people's lives. awesome. thanks and stay safe

[mmcclosk]

wow. just an amazing video. The video of the car bombing makes your heart stop for a second, especially with all the PED's running rampid. Thank you for what you, and everyone else does.

[BlackHat23]
