  • I first came across your work when I was on my BA Hons Journalism course in 2004. The Mosque story got my attention and I decided to delve into the story a bit deeper. I like the idea of recording the voices of people that might not otherwise be heard. I am now reading your book: In the Hot Zone, and I am up chapter 19.

  • honest question....what has iraq ever done to america

  • I'm glad the Marine killed that fucker. I heard stories from my buds in the Army, they were about to zip tie some insurgent in a building that had been shot by an Abrams, because there were 3 soldiers who'd been wounded in the building occupied by 4 or 5 insurgents. Upon approaching the dead man, he rolled a grenade at a reporter, the soldiers pulled him out of the way, and lit that bitchass up. And I laughed my ass off when he said " He sure as dead now."!

  • jerno is a snitch whos making money off the video, he didnt shoot 1 bullets and his bringing home a pay check, get a life you fucking faggot its war and tbh i wouldnt care if he stomped the cunt to death! he was the enemy plain and simple, its much worse when a kid gets killed in a random air raid if u ask me!

  • this journalist is a fucking moron, insurgents are known to pretend to be dead, and drop live grenades, when American marines or soldiers get close. There are morally gray areas in war, that's the whole fucking concept, war is nothing but legalized murder.

  • When people say government should be abolished, I show them this video. Of course government causes problems, but without something governing over people, this happens, people are ruthless savages.

  • if it was the other way around the marine would have been beheaded and the video would of been posted on the internet. stern... stern but fair.

  • Kill or be Killed .

    If the Marine would have been injured and the Iraqi was holding the Gun , he would have done the same fucking thing .

    Kill or Be Killed

  • @Bashaza Maybe. But the Iraqi isn't the one invading your country and stealing your resources. Enough said.

  • Fuck America

  • Wow, that guy was an ass, unarmed and wounded, and he shot him. Yeah the guy made a bad decision, but maybe it wasn't bad. Try and think how he felt, a foreign country invading your's, he tried and defend himself an his family. If he knew what he was doing, I mean like if he wanted the soldiers dead, it still would have been messed up to kill him. Im going to be joining the Army this coming summer after I graduate High school, I want to be in the medical division, heal not kill.

  • Its a battlefield. You ought to checkout some of these ''forgotten'' warzones. Then you'll see what real monsters do. A marine finishes off an opponent who would've happily done the same to the marine. Don't hold our enemies to a double standard they don't take prisoners. Go report on some animal bayoneting a pregnant woman.. thats worthy of outrage.

  • Evil happens everywhere being done by everyone. It's not an American thing, it's just humans in general. You can't place the blame on one group of people. That's all I gotta say.

  • I AGREE WITH Spades2 Its not right to blame the rest (american soldiers) for what some twisted idiots do.

  • Fucking USa why they killing unarmed People :(

  • Were there to help. We've done more good than bad I can assure you. We take out dictators, and put in a democracy, if you classify that as being criminal, then we are the biggest criminals on the planet.

  • dude you don't want to know isreal is blowing the fucking civilians up in gaza now which i think the casualties is now 900

  • dude gaza was bombing israel 4 3 days if israel hadnt fought back israel would have more casualties than gaza has now they couldnt just sit back and take the bombings

  • See, why do people do that? One guy does something bad, and we all get branded as evil war-mongers.

  • whats wrong with you

  • This guy reveals that our media (USA) is full of fucking arrogant liars that don't think we should think for ourselves.

  • So true.

  • People in general cant think for themselves as a whole, when they learn the truth they dont understand. All they see is a american shooting an unarmed person. Its alot different when your over there, constantly getting shot at. When you and your friends are getting IED'd, when you have family back home you want to see again. How can you blame the soldiers for killing them? what will happen when the guy heals up? He'll grab an AK and kill more americans. Its war, what the hell do you expect?

  • if people can't think for themselves, then why are you thinking like that? why do the big owners of this country think like that. It's almost as if the people are looked down upon as worthless. History shows that thats all they have been looked at. How are these people in the media and big owners somehow better than the people who work hard everyday and get lied to by people they sacrafise time for?

  • Obviously people can think, but as i specifically stated "people cannot think as a WHOLE." You need to remember, WE elect our governments, WE create these "big owners," WE are the lifeblood of this country. The biggest threat to any government is its populous, but again WE are to stupid to realize this. We allow them to invade our rights. Stop blaming the "big owners" and enlighten yourself. Learn to relay your thoughts in a more coherent nature, then at least you'll sound somewhat intellgent

  • can some one hook me up with a registration key

  • This is World of Conflict not World in Conflict

  • ohohohohoh yes! so funny!!! hohoho oh such a funny guy!!

  • haha i heard someone

    "so the US marines, ranger can't shoot at the insurgents until their gun is half way, or all the way up their ass!"

  • if an insurgent, who isn`t afraid to die and not surrendering, is faking death then the U.S. marine had the authority to shoot him. if that man was hiding a bomb or a grenade or firearm and the marine shot him then the marine would have done the right thing

  • Extremely good point, I like your thinking.

  • @Catazar3000 Maybe the insurgent would have done the right thing to throw a grenade and kill the marine.

  • On the iraqi part, its our fault those people are dying, infact, we are killing them, people lets use sense for a moment.... We invade ur country, we take ur homes, ur way of life, and then the way u get money, what do u expect, theyare going to fight back, and i respect that.

  • Very well done, Great Job.

  • "The Hot Zone" is not even an original title.

    The idea is original though.

  • Did you knows its actually congress who declares war? NOT the president. The ONLY power our president has is to veto and enforce the laws and bills, so when i hear people blame Bush on this... they need to know US Government before talking. And I believe that Marine did the right thing. Why spare a enemy that doesn't fear death its self. If he surrendered that's a different story BUT he didn't. I've heard countless stories of terrorists or freedom fights fighting back the their last breath.

  • he's dead now lol!!!!

  • Is the maker of this actually dead? If so, why the hell are you laughing?

  • no he is talking about the faking death insurgent.

  • Ok, but why is he laughing over someone dying?

  • hell if I know...

  • the terroists was faking being dead and a Marine killed him....big deal. what do you think they would do if they found one of our men playing dead?.... they would torture and cut his throat.

  • It's so sad what happened to that guy they shot. I find it interesting that he states it was the wrong choice to post the video of that guy being shot. Self censoring?

  • holy shit my freinds dad was with those guys that shoot the dude

  • It is so refreshing to see news as a reflection of reality and not simply network ratings. Thanks for your journalistic integrity regarding the shooting of the Iraqi man in the Mosque. Well done.

  • Are you serious? Dude, I'm shaking my head right now. Apparently you've never been to America, the country is split by it's opinions. We fight so that people can have opinions. America, has arguably more freedoms and opinions than any other country in the world.

  • so you haven't been to any other country in the world to be so ego rasist.

  • Great spelling... I haven't. But, I know people who've been to just about every country in the world. Of course, your grammar is terrible in this comment, so I'm asking if you could make it a bit more understandable so I can give a more suitable answer.

  • Sorry that I cannot spell perfectly in your truly great ENGLISH language! (wich I might add is the easiest and poorest that I have ever studied)

    But if you would just take your fucking time and learn other languages that could be in use to you maybe you would understand why I am not spelling perfectly!

    o...you know people who have been to every country in the world ... I won't take a bet on that.

  • Ignorance... I'm not being arrogant, I want to make sure I am answering you correctly. Goodness, in fact, you're acting arrogant. Sorry I didn't learn whatever language you speak, I speak english, a little bit of German, and a little bit of Chinese. But that wouldn't help read your comments that you wrote in english would it? Fuckin moron...

  • actually, English and korean are the hardest languages to learn in the world.

  • err...English?

    Its not a hard language to learn cause you hear english everywhere!

  • so everyone hears english everywhere..... no. theres more to the world than just America. IF your living in Korea or some shit your not going to be hearing english.

  • we do not actually hear english language just because of americans...

    and your last sentence actually proved how arrogent and actually stupid you are so I would like to end this conversation.

  • holy shit, you are that stupid. re-read my previous post. i just said "so everyone hears english everywhere....." you cant tell thats sarcasm? hence the "....." And this sentence make zero sence 'we do not actually hear english language just because of americans..."

  • let it go my friend, just let it go.

  • chines and japan es is the hardest..next to that french maybe.

  • yea I know, french is hard :P

  • The us i not the only one with freedome

    europe too

    like holland germany belguim england france and many more near those countrys

    you shoult been there first before making unfear complans k?

    sorry for my bad english

  • people of America should stand up against their government and decide what the government are doing to the world is truly right or not eh? Freedom is good sometimes but is too much is bad. Laws are now a definition of mankind's rules before there was only one law, the law of God. Freedom has gone wild because of mankind's laws.

  • the Marines actually take POWS

    the insurrgents dont take POWS

  • Brilliant comment.

  • It only takes a handful of soldiers to give an army a bad name.

  • you wanna no whats pathetic. people like you. you people besides for solusarmatura much be french. My history maybe a little rusty but didnt the french loose the war/ surrender. hmm and you know if it wasnt for us (the united fuckin states) hmm i think hmmmm Europe wouldnt of survived. hmm so maybe you know it we didnt have the aditudeds we do now we could be getting our ass kick like every other little pussy faced country.

  • true, it was the u.s that saved western europe from the nazis, soviets saved eastern europe. but if u.s didint liberate western europe then the soviets would have kept on advancing.

  • The United States is good at one thing in warfare, and that butting into other peoples affairs. Im not saying thats a bad thing, i agree with novexous completely. if it wasnt for the United Nations, the world would be crap right now

  • could start a war!.

  • he'd screw anyone over for a bit of cash....

  • i believe that USA's goal is to bring peace over there, but some of the soldiers arent so trustable. i dunno what division they were from, but a US M1A1 abrams tank crushed a man's money resource, his cab. just because he couldnt speak english.

  • no they crushed it cuz its us policey to punish people that keep stealing witch that guy was always getting picke dup for doing go do some reasrc h

  • but the guy said to the camera "he cant speak english" or something before he ordered the tank to crush the cab. and secodly, how could i reserch that? theres nothing about it in wikipedia.

  • that was a bullshit story.

  • it was not a friggin story! it was on TV, damnit!

  • so it MUST be true.

  • yeah, and they've done more unnecesary damage than just crushing a cab...

  • cant believe one man with one bullet could start a war!

  • am i fuck im british

  • THATS A TYPACLE AMERICAN SOLDIER

  • are you one?

  • First of all that guy is a Marine, second, how the fuck would you know what a typical American soldier is! I'm a American Soldier and I would never do something like that. Just because there is one fucked up person in a group doesn't mean the entire group is fucked up. Think before your speak about something your under educated about.

  • are you fuck an army marine !

    whats youre regiment and were are you posted ?

  • 619th Detachment 1 TC United States Army Reserve. I'm also a member of SWAT. I'm getting ready for my next deployment. When we are in theater, we HELP as many injured as we can, even if they were an active threat to us a few minutes ago.

  • ok fair play but still the U.S are still a bad army for what they do and say about other armies. for all i know you could be someone who is a wannabe soldier and lies through thier teeth like youre president (no dissrespect)

  • I totally hate this guy for making a movie thats about him and other peoples pain, then capitalizing on the death of many.

    Want to know war? No you don't, but if you're really crazy, don't take this asswipe's word, go there yourself. Its the only way.

    I think you'll find you see a gun in every kids hand and you don't mind shooting them to save yourself. I know, its sick and insane, but that's war for you. Don't like it? Neither do I, but don't try to rationalize it, it doesn't work that way.

  • The point of his job is to educate people as to what is going on in the rest of the world at any time. What people do as a result of that info is up to them... if you see its other peoples suffering then you will be one of the people that go out and try to help them... if you see it as just the evening news then you wont do anything about it... its pretty simple and straight forward i think.

  • That's just the point, people are going to see this as entertainment if they see it on the screen.

    This is pretty much the same as the evening news except in a bit more detail and with only one 'anchorman'

  • I respect the reporter's courage. Cheers for world peace.

  • who gives a shit about iraq , it is a big difference of being a spectator and a marine

  • Damn straight. He can say whatever he wants to about the Marine, saying that he was wrong to kill the insurgent- but you have to realize that man was trying to kill those marines a few minutes ago.

  • Very true. If this guy is such a hero, why didn't he say something at the time? I didn't hear him say "Hey, perhaps we should get this man to a hospital," or "why did you shoot him?" Everyone can become a critic, especially a reporter who realizes he has a potential story. I don't blame him for doing his job, but he is nothing special.

  • stop bitching, this is a warzone, that marine shooting the wounded is no different from blowing the hell out of a machine gun nest, this is war, there is a lot of things going on in a warzone, you would feel differently if you were in the situation, I dont agree with that, but thats how it is, people gotta stop being so politically correct about war.

  • THANK YOU

    As they say, shit happens, but you need a war to really fuck thing's up.

  • Not saying I believe in starting wars 24/7 but I do believe in them as a LAST resort. I think to get along we need to look back in history, how the age old empires worked things out. Fight with diplomacy and if that doesn't work, war.

  • someone forgot to render.

  • The movie Hotel Rawanda is also another excellent example of the violence in the world and genocide.

  • Man, we have it so easy over here...

  • how abt somalia? while you mentioning countries that are better than somalia?

  • why didn t he go to darfur

  • If there are no wars then this guy will nothing to do..right so he live on wars!

  • Mankind must end war, or war will end humanity

  • That's if global warming doesn't kill us off first...

  • There's no time to discriminate,

    Hate every motherfucker

    That's in your way

    Hey you, what do you see?

    Something beautiful, something free?

    Hey you, are you trying to be mean?

    If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean

  • :D lol nice!

  • Isnt that a Famous quote??

    Yeah we cant End war with the People in Charge of the countries around the world.

    I believe eventually it will come down to one victor.

  • War will not end humanity, it will regulate & keeps human populations in check, as we do not have predator above us.

    Sad but true.

  • He seems like a very intelligent man.

  • if humanity doesnt end war, war will end humanity

    i personally think war will end humanity

  • war will give us practice against aliens, i'm you don't exepect 1 billions humans live on 1 planet happy all the time for 6000+ years.

  • no comment :D

  • if war doesnt end? rofl, it will never end, and its been going since the start of time so we're doing alright so far

  • its a quote i never remember who said it

  • yes ive heard it before

  • Man that marine should've shot the guy I mean come on the guy was unarmed and faking he was dead, he didn't what to die. They should've taken him in... The war in Iraq is taking so many american lives...when Bush is just trying to get more oil...He's doing the same thing as they guys who sell blood dimonds.

  • Man that marine should've shot the guy I mean come on the guy was unarmed and faking he was dead, he didn't what to die. They should've taken him in... The war in Iraq is taking so many american lives...when Bush is just trying to get more oil...He's doing the same thing as they guys who sell blood dimonds.

  • Er...USA got oil from Iraq now?

  • fuck war... fuck al kaida... fuck bush... fuck war...

  • Wars not very pretty is it, nor is it one sided. Maybe the socialist have the answer, shall we all hold are breath. Oops I forgot their history.

  • say dad, what's the name of the war that end all wars

  • Armageddon will be our final suffering here on this earth, and the victory has already been won.

  • what in shits name are you talking about you crazy fucked up anrachist most likely suicidal idiot

  • As we all know, right-wing factions have never waged war on everyone, so no, let's fear the socialists. Especially since Scandinavia is such a hellhole of war, poverty, and terrorism.

    Er... yeah.

  • Scandinavia,has a need to surive. Socialists have had to make a pack with the devil, that will not surive.

  • Er...socialism? Scandinavia? Er?

  • Fucking enemies fucking die GAHHHHHHHH kill your enemies kill everyone who looks at you cock-eyed GAHHHH die die die

  • Every man for him self.

  • that makes perfect fucking sense for the marine to shoot him the next second the insurgent could of just throw out a frag grenade or some shit he was obliviasly alive and probably had a AK-47 right damn there

  • the marine shouldnt of killed the insurgent. but you think they wouldnt of done it to him? actually no. they wouldnt. they would take him hostage, torture him for weeks and then behead him and send it to al jazeera, to be broadcast. the insurgent was not the marines responsibilty. it was his fault for shooting at the marines, and the marine shouldnt of killed him so he could join his friends in guantanamo.

  • That insurgent was the Marine's 'responsibility'? Thats a load of horseshit, the only responsibility the Marine had was to finish the bastard off and props to him for doing so. If we took that terrorist in and took care of his wounds, the first thing he would do when he's out of the hospital is pick up a rifle and shoot at our Army again. People like him only cease to be a threat when they're dead.

  • Why would some one who considers a Mosque a holy place shoot from it. both the US marines and the insurgents were wrong. The insurgents broke a bond with Allah, and For the marine he needs to speak to god about his actions.

  • Jobanije Amirikanze wac Rassia ckora wjebit!

  • Americans should think if in future Iraqi capture America then what they will do with their citizens. Americans must stop this war before it reach to their homeland

  • maybe thats why ppl hate america or americans

  • one less insurgent to deal with

    glad the Marine shot him

    when you're trying to take a city you don't have time for wounded enemies that will slow you down

  • i would want to see you say that if u were in the insurgents shoes

  • if i were the insurgent i wouldn't say that b/c if i was a good muslim radical i would want to die instead of being captured, so the Marine could haved been doing the asshat a favor

    and if you were in the Marine's position, would u have spent hours questioning the man which could have lead to more deaths by delaying the attack?

  • well i propably wouldn done such a moronic thing  like that,i think everyone should have a chance,i am not on the side of the insurgents but i still support human rights dor everyone.

  • why the fuck would you give someone that was trying to kill you medical help

  • Helps explain the drastic IQ difference between the branches of the military. Thanks.

  • what the fuck is that suppose to mean?

  • Every single person no mather his believes ,religion color or nationality has the right to be treated as a human ,thats called human rights and the geneva convention.And the difference between bad and good people is choise,that marine gave the insurgent none,so if it would be my choice he wold be cortmartialed.

  • The Geneva convention only goes into working if the other army agrees to its conditions if it were in effect why the hell are our medics carrying rifles now?

  • I saw him using a clip from the ISM, and I just stopped watching. Those guys are dumbasses.

  • The Sad Fact Is This...........

    First off, would that guy who was killed by the american...would he have done the same if the table was turned??

    The Answer is "NO" He would have held the american hostage, video him and cut his head off, than dragged his body around in the streets.....

    Not to mention we never saw what the guy did to the troops before we kicked their ass and walked into their (house of worship) where they hide and killed from....

  • Yes, that is exactly what they would have done. Now, would you go down to their level and act in the same way they do?

  • well you can start by looking at little less porn and not to post your comments on videos that have nothing to do with what your saying

  • I was looking for World IN Conflict. I made a mistake.

    Heck, I even marked it as spam. So please back off.

  • who the fuck are you? I was talking to gamer not you

  • I have no problem with what that marine did. If it was him in the terrorists position the terrorists would have tortured him to death without mercy. I think the marine was actually very merciful in giving that terrorist a quick and painless death. God bless our men and women serving in iraq.

  • It's war I would have done the same thing.

  • whats that song name ?

  • there will never be world peace...there never was...there has always been war since the dawn of humanity, for whatever cause...even for no cause...the best thing you can do is avoid war

  • i agree....well here is a quote i forgot by who it was by but here goes.."war cannont be avoided, it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy"

  • I envy this man's life...it sounds so dangerous and interesting...

  • It just pisses me off when i hear americans talk like goin 2 war is good.I would just b proud if I were defending my country 4 a real good reason not like the US.What other countrys r doin is non of the US bussines.Don't they wonder why all those terrorists r just pissed at them?I´m from germany an I get so mad when I see german troops in afghanistan gettin killed b'cause of this stupid US invasion

  • I'd say being attacked on 9/11 justifies our actions in Afghanistan, don't you?

  • u lost more than u have gained

    btw u already invaded the irak 4 this reasons (and various others)

  • yeah, i see, a country controlling another territory overseas is wrong? well if that were the case, then all the countries Europe would be guilty, the only difference between the Iraqi war and your countries stupid conquests back 100 years ago is that everyone (including Americans) are a lot more bitchy.

  • see....history taught you nothing

  • see....history taught you nothing

  • to halfhallow....see if you lived back then you did anything you needed to do to surive...but now at these days well its all about the indviledual(not a great speller)...

  • What I find interesting about this comment is that the US was attacked once, and this suddenly gave them the right to totally decimate the country where the attack originated. Granted a few people died in 9/11 but think of the millions who have lost their homes, their families and their lives. Surely you can't say one attack really deserves 5+ years of retaliation.

  • so your saying we leave now and let a civil war breakout, where millions more will die.

  • its natural this coalition occupant is artifisicial

  • america is an imperialistic country invading other countrys just like irak tried with iran 4 example.Whats I think is worse is that only the americans think that its good what they're doing.talkin stupid stuff like "we are marine brothers" and talkin crap like "brave war heroes".Just let them talk

  • "america is an imperialistic country invading other countrys"

    germany is not even close to being perfect or innocent of this sort thing themselves, I just wonder how many stupid world wars it will take us to come to our senses, hopefully it will be less than two.

  • The U.S goverment is the problem,your goverment created funded and trained Al-quada.

    The goverment let 9/11 happen for a pretext for the war in the middle east. They have pretrayed you and you go about nodding your heads going yes thats ok go destory the world.

    This guys is speaking the truth showing you whats actually going on none of that mass media bullshit.

  • i am a soldier her in the philippines i faught guerelas NPA New Peoples Army shit fucking asshole die mother fucker die

  • Send the hippie back to Canada or join the Marines and find out what its really like.

  • I for one I'm glad we have heros like those Marines, who are will to risk their lives, too kill the terroist. I wish he would of shown the fighting that lead to the death of the terroist. If he did show it, I would most likly shown the terroist hiding behind women and children, or running from a car bomb that killed or wounded our soldiers. Try to remember that we are at war, war is not pretty. God Bless these brave men and women

  • If I was there I would had shot the guy and pissed on his face after I took a shit on it. This guy is a sorry excuse for a reporter and im sure 90% of the U.S. would agree. Move to Canada you hippie or better yet join the Marines.

  • I have now watched the entire series of videos...except...Chapter 14 seems to be missing both here and on google. Is it because of misnumbering, or is there a Chapter 14? Very curious...
