  • webmovietube is an amazinf website to watch movies online for free

  • GOD BLESS ALL THIS SOLDIERS FROM PARAGUAY

  • Hey where can i get these photos???

  • my brothers keepers stay vigilent. the door to coming home is opening slowly. soon the world wil know that our government wasted good men in chasing ghost in a poppy field half way around the world.

  • @pilebut shut the fuck up

  • Great photographs, absolutely fantastic documentary

  • War, what's it good for. If you live thou it, it mark's you forever. .. Otherwise!!

  • To those in 2/8 marines, we love you support you all the way, I was in the army and no way in hell could I have imagined how much you've done, You guys are amazing. Keep up the good work. We're here behind you the whole way! Support Our Troops!

  • hey fagomex, come and live at darvishan for a fucking week, better yet your a strong willed person with strong ideals, they will keep you alive in opiumville, just go down there and talk to the elders, they will understand your purpose. I know you have no clue what im talking about but you should know everyone is laughing at you and we all know your a fucking pussy

  • My nephew was there. Mark I'm proud of you!

  • this is my platoon in this video and it was not an easy task

  • dude this video brought ease to alot of my family. My cousin Sergion Navarratte is in this video and i am very proud of him aswell as the rest of this platoon. god bless these guys come home safe

  • You don't know what you are talking about until you've been there. I was there most of these guys are my close friends

  • Im not sure what happened to this great country. My parents told me that during WW Two everyone was behind the war effort in one way or another. No one dared to say anything against the government or the military or the war. Every able bodied man and a lot of woman lined up to defend the great nation. My father and all his brothers joined back then. Later I joined and served my time and now my son has joined the Marines.

  • Are there any true patriots left in the country like the men in this video or have we all turned in to a bunch of lambs?

  • i would say lambs : / i support the men and women in the military but i cant stand politicians cause some how they always managed to screw our troops

    money,health,mental health, and jobs. most of this guys coming back are being forgoten everyone claims support our troops yet they dont help a homeless veteran on the streets nor the veterans against the war. hypocrates

  • hooah awesome video

  • You should remove that name not good OPSEC!

  • Too many do not understand the threat to all that radical Islam is! People need to wake up and get a clue! In 15 years most of Europe will have muslim majorities in their parliments and they still don't get it.

  • Its very interesting that the scum bags that complain about our country and our military did that in many others countries they would be put in prison for treason. They dont realize that freedom is not free.

  • Marines, man, I owe every thing to you guys. You are the ones who I look up to my big brothers. You are the true Americans. All the civies back home in the States man they are not true americans. They are wimps. Afraid of a fight. Afraid of their fears. No courage, no discipline selfish spoiled little brats. They don't give a shit any more about who dies for there freedoms. Its dissapointing. my bros are over there basiclly for nothing. cause Americans are careless.

  • My son is a Marine Infantryman...as was I. These young men are the LAST LINE of defense...they are modern-day Spartans...they are WARRIORS in every sense. All of you pathetic apologists and cowards who attempt to explain or excuse your ABSENCE on the field of battle are SILENT to the ears of AMERICAN VETERANS.......where are you? What is worth fighting for? What is worth dying for?

  • I'm sorry but you have a hopelessly romantic notion of serving America as a soldier

    I'm not getting down on the Marines as they have a noble history of fighting with their back to the wall but that was when it was World War II when the Axis powers were a threat to America

    Now you are the tools of expeditionary oil,American adventurism,a good thing used for bad purposes Bush fucked you in the arse by getting you to do his dirty work in Iraq

    I wouldn't get too 'semper fucking fi' about that.

  • Thats funny because if thats true i remember your country being right next to us..

  • Yes,to our eternal shame.

  • Finally, coward, The Marines are not soldiers...our missions go beyond combat...and our proud history pre-dates WWII. You obviously know and understand little more than your own opinions of the recent/current conflict, in which you've crafted convenient opinions to excuse yourself from the field. Try starting at 10NOV1775 and do some research.

    PS: Have your whore mother pen an excuse for you......your absence, in my opinion, is unexcused: COWARD

  • Rockster969:

    What the fuck would you know? I can tell by your syntax that you're not a fellow countryman so, thus, you wouldn't understand....even if you weren't a coward.

    Finally, as far as my "romantic notion", it has nothing to do with serving America or it's politicians or policies....but fighting alongside my neighbors who share the same convictions....again, something you would know little about. Finally, know that I've "pulled the trigger" and would again.

    Semper Fuckin' Fi

  • And im not sayin i condone war or that im pro-war. But i do believe that because we are over there and it is not a real possibility to just say ok enough lets go home that we have to defend our country and its people and finish what bush started, no matter how reckless of a decision may have been i think it was the right thing to do and so do the thousands of other americans who sign up each year to defend our nation by puttin their lives on the line so you dont have to, I AM one of those people

  • Except for ending facism, nazism, and communism. war hasnt ever solved a damn thing. Seriously people if you are an american born, english speaking citizen you should be damn proud of our men and women that are fightin for our country, cuz they are the reason why you are allowed to do any of the things you do, if it wasnt for them you wouldnt be reading this message in english right now. cuz if were attacked again by a terrorist group your gonna be singin a different tune. Semper Fi Marines

  • americans suck msg me to contest this :)

  • Obviously no one wants war. China and the Taliban & Al Quada in Iraq are two entirely different issues but they all wish they could blow The US off the map if they had the chance. You keep negotiating and when the talks break down you know who to call. The Marines and The Army in that order.

  • When your head is up your ass, as obviously yours is--it's somewhat difficult to obtain a realistic perspective.

  • God Bless My Brothers ! so proud of these young Men!

    Fmr. H+S Co. 3rd Bn. 3rd Mar. Gulf I Task Force Taro

    Semper Fi !

  • So what is your plan for world peace modermariorc? What do you think the U.S. should do when negotiation is not an option anymore? How do you negotiate with Imperial Japan, the Nazis, Communist Russia, Communist China, The Viet Cong, The Taliban and Al Qaeda? These organizations do not negotiate. They will run over you son. Its wonderful and beautiful that you are optimistic about the world but you are looking at life through rose colored glasses.

  • The solution is to negotiate and accept that you won't get everything you want given that a lot of what the US wants is not it's fair share. Communist China tortures and harasses it's population and yet Bush and Obama are perfectly happy to do business there. How come we are willing to invade and destroy Iraq just to bring them freedom no matter what, but we are willing to compromise with the dictatorship in China? We should draw the line and say that invasion and bombing are not an option.

  • First of all this a video about what a few Devil Dogs are accomplishing in Afghanistan. A battle of the free west against radical islam that has be going on for centuries modernmariorc get your head outta your ass, negotiations never work thats why the U.N. is useless. I for one salute my fellow Marines, Semper Fi!!

  • rbthom,you go where your told you do what your paid for and at this time in place you choose to go . You sign a contract or you enlist or you sell your trade. BUT YOU HAVE A CHOICE. I will venture that maybe you were not happy with your choice and perhaps there are better things you are suited for ,so thank you for your service and good luck in your future choices and if may be of assistance call. Still serving and yes as a civillian,so that you can make a choice FREELY>semperfi

  • You are right in some of what you say.But with due respect you seem to be repeating only that which you have not actually seen for your self or even felt just a hint of what this video shows.You are able to say what have commented on as well as research and ask freely what our politicians say and do with out the reprisals of prison censure or worse.I ask you this .dont be so quick to pass judgement and dont be so fickle in what you want. Continue to ask and comment but beware of complaicency.

  • Comment removed

  • I'am 62.serving in DOD position combined US Navy and US Marine Corps and DOD Its been a long ride.Since 1966 to date I still see the same spirit and great bearing in all who are serving. and it may come as a surprise to some but we also have our debates and discontent just like those who don't serve or support this war.But we serve for the sake of freedom at home and for those that can't or won't .SEMPER FI

  • Well said Sir. I wish I had the patience and tolerance that you have.

  • That is what the US Coast Guard and the local police departments do. They handle domestic issues. That is not the responsibility of the Marines or the Army. Are you really going to wait for Al qaeda and the Taliban to come knocking at your front door some night before you do anything? I dont think that is a wise plan.

  • Son we're tracking them over there so we don't have them here.

  • Iraq had no terrorists under Saddam. 9/11 terrorists were not from Iraq. The invasion turned many people against the US and increased the number of terrorists inside and outside of Iraq. Bombing, firefights, neighborhood raids, and detention of random Iraqis is a very effective way to destroy their economy and inspire impoverished and traumatized Iraqis to fight against the US. The more you track them, the more they breed.

  • Dont tell what I should do son. I have served my country as I mentioned before and I am still serving my state in a State Guard Military Police Unit now. I dont want to belittle you or hurt your feelings here on Youtube but what have you done for your country?

  • I was 0311 in G 2/7 RVN. You guys are the absolute best.

  • semper fi.....

  • God bless you guys.

  • It makes me sick to my stomach to hear anyone bad mouth any of the US Armed Services. My father was in the Army in WWII, I was in the Army/Reserves and now my son is in the Marine Corps. How dare you say anything disrespectful about any of them? Quit bitchin! and support the men & women who are fighting for your freedom. If you dont like America get out.

  • modernmariorc: I'm 57 years old and still doing it. I would go into battle with these men in this video with out question. These guys are great.

  • Who the hell are you? We go where the politicians tell us to! We do what has to be done! We don't sit around and decide amongst ourselves what contries we fight in. You must be a civilian!!! No vet or active duty serviceman is this dumb about the military! Do you hug tree's and wear peace signs(G)?

  • rathom would you please read the comments posted over the last couple of days. If you do so you will understand why jrsavalass comments were made and to whom they were intended for.

  • fuck you.

  • I am so glad that this is posted here. Thanks guys and I believe that you are living up to "your big brothers"

  • Its a veiw not propaganda, jackass... its more of an artistic way of looking at it with an intelligent voice over. Yes war is bloody and horrible. but so is not fighting for what you know is worth fighting for. People like you act like you gave up long ago without regard to what we have fought for and kept for generations. Shit, without US you wouldn't be expressing your B.S. opinion on You-Tube. YOU are the propaganda.

  • Shut the fuck you armchair expert.

  • Hey there modernmariorc, these aren't soldiers, they are Marines. Don't lump us all together like that!

  • Shows how much modernmariorc knows about military manners. using the term soldier to refer to marines can get you whupped by marines. it's considered an insult. like calling a Harley Davidson a bicycle. LOL!!!

  • carrying huge bags and doing army exercises causes a very high rate of joint and back injuries. why does the army kill your back?

  • Semper Fidelis Marines!

  • OOhRAH

  • the strategy in Afghanistan is so fucked up. I am seriously considering going to try myself in BUD/S than go to the Corps like I originally wanted to. I don't want to ride around as bait just so my commanders know where the enemy is. Fuck that.

  • Afghanistan is so fucking lost , The US Military would have to take a Bus just to get back to Fucked -Up.

    and a Bunch if Goat Farmers did it....No matter, there is still more money in Losing Wars than Winning....

  • what the fuck. DID AMERICA TURN TAIL AND SURRENDER IN WW@ WHEN THE GERMANS COUNTERED AT THE BATTLE OF THE BULDGE!? fuck no!

    we need to keep fighting! we need to win this war no matter how fucked up it gets and no matter how many hippie liberals like you bitch about it.

    when america reiceved over 10,000 casualties in ww2 we didnt just give up!

    afganistan is not lost. not now, not next year, not next decade.

    we will win this fucked up war

  • yea and if we give up now then all those guys that died for nothing

  • hey i just got out from 2/8 before they left i have ptsd and all from my iraqi deployments you leave these guys alone if you don't have the physical fortitude to do it like we have you have no right to make down these young men

  • This is the 2nd vietnamese war. We can't win a guerilla war.

  • May God watch over your dad and his men. I have a SF buddy was there last yr he and his team are home safe now. I hope your dad and his men also return safely. Thank him and his men from my family and me.

  • my stupid afghan people i bet ypu guys are from the rascist pashtun region of the great afghanistan you dumbasses why are you on youtube if you hate america go see what its like in afghanistan the taliban are stupid mother fuckers who make their own rules THANK YOU MY FELLOW AMERICANS KEEP IT UP BUT WAR SUCKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • The Pashtuns have been fighting the Taliban alot longer than we have.

  • @gunner1811 Majority of Taliban are Pashtuns

  • u are 101010100101010101001010101010­10101010101010101010101....not­hing....

  • They're fighting for your right to come on here and talk your stupid shit, asshole! Try that in some 3rd world shithole, and get a fucking education while you're here so you learn how to spell and write complete sentences.

  • Comment removed

  • It's amazing how politicians start the war but they send our young men and women to fight for them and their cause.

  • Man.....I love the armed forces, but I hate war. Blessings to those brave soldiers.

  • ..."protecting us on a daily basis"... from who????if u kill all killers in the world,what then,and what are u???

    when u lose small mind u free your life.....

  • pick a side there unthankful one. if not, u should just leave this country and go sumwhere else. instead of complaining about sumthing u know nothing about maybe u should pick up a rifle and put in sum work, because your just taking up space in our country as a freeloader.

  • fazoon & myRealLifeNickname..........Go­d damn right changing the world. The world is a dangerous place with killers. Sometimes you have to change people's attitudes using the end of your muzzle. Sleep in peace while the few brave protect your ass and keep your damn mouth shut if all you're doing to do is insult our brave men and women protecting us on a daily basis. We are at war, whether or not liberal dumb f**** want to admit it or not.

  • much respect, these guys putting their necks out there for us. God bless

  • Comment removed

  • you can hate our government but these men are fighting for our country. they don't fight because they think our republic is perfect. They fight because they want us to be able to feel safe in our daily lives. their sacrifice is taken advantage of by hundreds of millions of americans each day and we should do nothing but thank them

  • I agree man.

  • Obama makes it to the White House and suddenly the wars are kool.......

  • wait 2 years, then, lets see what happens when the euphoria has subsided

  • ''At first. we need to cure mankinds biggest disease, war''

    -George bush

    Rofl.

    nuff said

  • Thanks you so much for your service to our country, ill be one person to say thanks, insted of hating on you. But if we didn't have all those stupid rules for engagment, this war would have been over five years ago, like not being able to fire on someone who is shooting at you until until you can clrealy see them with a gun? c'mon.

  • U.S.M.C.

  • changing the world :))))) with guns.......ok.......good luck u brain washed maschines..

  • shut the fuck up you pussy you couldn't do the things these Marines do in your dream you can talk shit about them behind your computer you over weight peace of shit because of the freedom they give you understood.

  • At least machines can spell!

  • Keep it up marines!

    Thank you for fighting for us.

  • lol. You guys are criticizing one of the largest forces on the planet and for 100% certainty the most strongest and technologically advance military on this planet since the Roman Empire? We don't call it the American Empire but we should. Some of you are from Europe, of all places the continent we helped liberate...well your welcome! Hats of to the men & women of the US armed forces.

  • "126 degrees in the shade"

    how dumb

  • WashMitt is a retard.

  • Instead of writing stupid comments, why can't all just post supporting comments for the men and women in the military doing what you all are too lazy to do, FIGHTING TERRORISM.  You can hate the government of the world., but support the hard work being done by the military. If you can walk outside, start your car without worrying about it blowing off... THANK THE FUCKING MILITARY!!

  • "You can hate the government of the world., but support the hard work being done by the military"

    Unfortunately the hard work of the military IS for the governments, corporations and bloodlines.

    It may scare you to find that you just might have more in common with those that you refer to as TERRORISTS, as opposed to those that, even unlawfully, got you into this mess.

    It sends shivers up my spine thinking of all the depleted Uranium they are swimming in.

  • It seriously would have been smart of the people who posted this to have the disabling of comments because every video of wars always has fights about religion, countries, and etc. It just leads to trouble having comments allowed on war videos.

  • kinda like vietnam all over

    just get your ass back intact. I'll buy you a cold beer.

    stay low, seek good cover, identify your enemies weapons

  • True

  • shuckstar, go to ur lil dirt shack and wipe ur ass with that towl on your head. what the hell is your problem with america..actualy..with ANY country fighting terrorists. canadians, brits,americans, there all very brave men fighting.

  • Yet another battle rooted in religion. Young kids getting killed or fucked up because of religion. We humans are pretty fucked up.

  • fuck you you piece of shit why dont u go tell one of us that to our face u fuckn cock munch

  • shut the fuck up faggot this is america the greatest country on fucking earth

  • from the united kingdom?..kicked ur asses too, then we had to save you worthless shits in wwi and wwii, so sit on ur little island and do nothing while the u.s. saves u once again

  • lol its funny too coz back then THEY were the super power and we still have to save them tsk tsk... :D

  • Fuck you, bigot.

  • Fuckin terrorist, suck my balls ass wipe.

  • allah is the arabic word for god. and the taliban call themselves muslims, when they do everything against the quran. just like the kkk, christians killing for no reason. btw, im an agnostic. so shut the fuck up lizarrdo. fucking racist

  • So? It's a free world faggot. I can say whatever I want to say.

  • looks like a ww2 propaganda film

  • "Semper Fidelis" Marines my heart goes out to yall dug in and takin shit no one knows horror more than a man in a fightin hole!! Stay safe my brothers and shoot straight your Army brothers got ya back anyday!!!! HOOOAAAHH 35thBct 175th Cav 19D MdArNG.....

  • I'm Political Science major and Iraq War vet(infantryman ramadi 2006), I do not care about the politics of war. War sucks period and they guys would love to have the privilege to watch a youtube video. But to read silly uneducated comments about the nation and our soldiers is ignorant. These guys are people and yeah they signed up for various reasons. All I wish is that we support other Americans regardless of race, occupation, etc... We all are the same!

  • These guys are over there doing fighting for their lives to protect us while we are here safe. I will never forget the hardships these guys had to live through.

  • why can't they just drop a mortar round on a house? How are you going to win the war if you don't break some eggs. Those fuckers are laughing at you while you sweat your ass off carrying a bunch of shit you don't need and don't even shoot back or do anything while your getting picked off. Wow what a great war strategy, where is Elmo and Bert and Ernie because this is some Sesame Street BULLSHIT.

  • you are seriously retarded aren't you

  • yes I am retarded. I was diagnosed at age 4.

  • Thank you for your service.

  • all fucking bithches IRAK and Bin Laden ftw ETA <3

  • tbh when I hear hide insite a house where there might be a familie. that really piss me off. the familie have nothing to do with war and then a F***er come and bring them in danger because he need to ambush or what ever. you just dont bering civilie in danger.

  • the us killer!!!!

  • Changing the world? Bullshit!!!

    I'm a qualified and more liberal person from that region. I qualify ur definition of moderate muslims. But I want not even 1 foriegn soldier on the land of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    U guys r fighting the war of Freemasons and Zionists tell us that we need democracy? Ironic that an invader talking about right of civilians. LOL

    USA will out from there with more disgrace of face then in Vietnam, rather far more.

    Correct things at home 1st then come here.

  • Afghanistan is not the same country today as it was the day we took the power out of the Taliban hands, that is just fact, not bullshit. As far as leaving Afghanistan in disgrace, the only way that could happen is if you chased us out, you must realize by now you do not have the ability to do that, when we leave it will be on our own terms under our own steam, the same way we came in

  • Jesus . . .

    Don't you people ever get tired of playing the victim and crying about conspiracy theories?

  • where are you from i will tell you a couple things wrong about your country

  • Great stuff!!

  • these dudes are some Brave mother fuckers! lol makes me feel safe at night

    Thankyou =)

  • What a great video, I can't wait to go to Afganistan and get some.

    SEMPER FI

  • Hats off to the men and women who put it all on the line to protect the world from evil and harm.

  • My Friend Jus got back From there and He Said those Arabs cant shoot for shit.

  • oh really!!!

  • This war is about fighting Israels battles at American expence.

  • America lost a lot more men in WWII in a lot less years than Iraq & Afghanistan combined & you didn't hear the whining & crying of the sheep as I read here, sheep worrying over the price of bullets! America was at war in WWII, America is not at war today, Americas military is at war, America is at the mall

  • I'd rather shop for shoes than care about invading a country for oil.

  • WWII had more of a reason than Iraq

  • Right or wrong, as long as Obama fails in his promise to bring our boys home, I will gladly buy them all the bullets they need.

  • I hope he does bring them home from Iraq let them deal with their own problems but they should stay in Afghanistan

  • We should pull out of Iraq, I agree, & only stay in afgan if Obama fights to win, but I am not sure what a win is there either, there comes a time when Obama has to say we did all we can do & bring them home, but dont bring them home because the sheep are crying over the price of bullets.

  • Exactly

  • "We are a country at war and a nation at the mall"

  • death to the infadels. who the fuck do america think they are the fat bastards. you are all big and mighty now, but when iran and north korea dn russia nuke the fuck out of ye we'll see whos laughin then. waayyyyyyy

  • totally agree conaill there clearly not doin anything right over there. fuckin stupid retard americans. osamas a legend

  • i hope the us army gets bent over backwards by the iraqis and afhgans and raped up the arse.thats what they deserve the yous fuckin yankee cunts

  • fuck your couch faggot

  • lol what a "tough guy" your a fucken loser fix your own problems before your bitch about ours.

  • i have no problems. america shouldnt have problems they think they can do whatever they want. america is a country of rich pusseys

  • Not all of us are rich. A few rich pussies do ruin it for the rest of us.

  • lol Dublin has the highest standard of living in the world and Ireland has the 4th highest GDP per capita in the world and America is 17th

  • lmao that fact about dublin is simply not true so don't bring up things which are nonsense. are you seriously sayin the standard of living in ireland is better than america? your wrong, america is the most powerful country in the world. you pussys.

  • go check the cia factbook idiot

  • Also, freedom is always worth the price. America is a place where we stick up for 'the little guys'. Anyone who doesnt feel that sense of purpose has no right to be called an american.

  • tell me why were fighting the taliban

    the people of afghanstan hate us too most people i talked to from afghanistan or the middle eats that bitched at me on youtube said they dont care about how many lives they lose as long as they kill one of us theyre happy... we cant win this war get it in your head

  • " Its about PRIDE...."

    Really soldiers??? I hope you do it to capture Bin Ladden, because pride might be a motivator but getting the job done should be the objective, stop wasting tax money only because of PRIDE and come home safe.

  • How the fuck are they wasting tax dollars? Please explain to me. If not, please go fuck yourself you fucking moron and do not talk about waste of tax dollars when you yourself are a wate of sperm.
