Great Video. About his time I was callingBranch, because I lost a damned good Zippo over there in 90-91. Got told I was too damned old.... Unfortunatly the whipper snapper of an E-7 was right
Nice video. Brings back memories. I was one of your medics in 1/3 HHT but I was attached to ADA for the 2003 tour. Seeing Col Dolan was a nice touch as well. Iraq was a definate stressful time but I would never want to do it in any other unit besides tiger squadron.
i have never looked back since I left. Video brings back memories. Served in crazy troop. Hardest thing about looking back is all the faces you grew close to and now it is all but a distant memory. Pooh if ur out there ur boy cruz says whats up. Miss u man. SGT Perez, Sgt. Montenero, SFC Smith, SSG Middleton, Willie, Garcia, Weedman, Deleon, Parze miss all of yall Cruz aka "the goat" bahhhhhh!!!
@irgenwieundsowieso -You're missing the point. You have no clue what that comment means. Why don't you go vist the Disney Channel.... They have games you can play!
@irgenwieundsowieso Some miss war. Most miss the previledge of serving and protecting the great nation of the United States. I'm proud and have great honor in having worn my country's uniform.
THEY JUST SENT MY 26 TEAR OLD NEPHEW BACK IN A BODY BAG.IT WAS HIS 3RD TOUR.2 IN IRAG AND THIS LAST ONE IN AFGHANISTAN.HE SERVED HIS COUNTRY,THAT WAS WHAT HE WANTED,HE WAS GOING TO B A CAREER MILITARY MARINE.HIS 2 BROTHERS MADE IT BACK SAFE BUT HE DIDN'T AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SAY TO MY SISTER(HIS MOM) TO MAKE IT OK. IT IS A VERY SAD TIME FOR US.HIS NAME WAS BRIAN GARRISON FROM JERSEY. MY YOUNGEST NEPHEW THAT DID MAKE IT,IS NOT THE SAME
Do you think that the 100,000 Kurds systamatically put to death by your so called locals (just opposed to raping and lootings) would share your sentiments??
That the Kurds who suffered from an estimated 40 chemical attacks would tell us to leave Sadam in power? I dont know what your standards of acceptable behavior are derived of , but most of the population of Earth would call genocide bad behavior.
RadioReporter01 If you dont like this country or its military get the fuck out. you wouldnt say this shit to a soldiers face just behind the comfort and safety of your computer right? cuase im a 3 time iraq war vet and if you said that shit to me i would beat 7 shades of shit out of your pathetic ass
Kicking the ass of "insurgents" who are nothing more than the locals objecting to foreign invaders coming in under false pretenses and raping, looting and just basically destroying the country at the behest of the corporate rulers you are slaves of.
Every time you "dished out more than you took", you created a new class of insurgents. And I don't blame them. You pull the shit you pull in Iraq in NYC and I'd be trying to blow your ass up too.
Don't tell me you were fighting for my freedom....
@RadioReporter01 Wow! That was you standing there on the corner in Iraq while I was there doing my job? Don't think so...We need more experts like you to take a look at a television screen and determine why insurgents do what they do. That is a hell of a talent you have.
Hmmm corporate rulers huh?? Insurgents nothing more then locals objecting to invaders raping and looting??
I wonder if the Kurds fealt the same way when these locals so opposed to raping and looting were indiscriminately killing them. when their villages are attacked with poisonous gas. it is estimated that at least 40 such chemical attacks took place. The systamatic killing of the Kurds caused the death of an estimated 100,000 people. Including women and children
Easy to turn over those damm bradleys, almost did it in Ft.Knox!!! I was in the 1st Desert strorm, thank you for those excellent tank shots, how did you like your M1A1 ? Luvvv that tank, Tankers Rule the battlefield. Thank you for your service also..
@usmctanks1 I had alot of good times over the years riding around in tanks. Being in a tank during a firefight saved my life more than once. They wouldn't let me bring it home after the war because it had too many holes in it! lol
Now if you went into Burma and rescued the Nobel peace prize winner who won the election but is under house arrest by the military and had a number of her supporters killed, I would say you are a force for good.
Hell, I might even lead that mission. Something I believe in
@RadioReporter01 If the President told us to do it.... we would do it. That's how it works. We wouldn't have much of an Army if we got to pick and choose which missions we ran.
I'm not in a war zone, I shouldn't suffer such attacks as a reporter, but I do. I'm involved in the 7th case right now. I'll be sending those cops to jail for perjury
Just what was it you were fighting for again? My freedom? Freedom of the press?
@RadioReporter01 wouldn't it suck if you couldn't do a damn thing about the cops that allegedly slapped you around? Sounds to me like you are using some of that freedom you have to excercise your rights. Would you rather be trying to do your reporter thing in a communist country? I wonder how successful that would be for you. Last time I checked.... it's legal for you to pick one and move there.
I think you need to move for being so disrespectful to an American such as myself, who is fighting criminals so you won't have to die.
You show such little respect for me, one whose family fought in the American Revolution so you could be born and join the army and help the corporations and the Zionists plunder the world.
Whoa Whoa Whoa. You weren't in service to the country, you were in service to the corporations.
If you were insuring my safety as an American, you'd be out on the street with me, protecting me from 22 year old NYPD officers that should be in grade school, not given a weapon and a badge
Let's just get that clear, the same people sending you off to die are the same ones saying it's OK for NYPD punks to slap the news guy
I really think you live on a different planet than the people who are willing to put thier life on the line for what they believe in. I'm sorry the news guy got slapped... I hope it didn't hurt him too much.
Explain to me just what he did in Iraq to serve his country?
He survived only to come home to be afraid of my comments.
He doesn't post all I've said. He doesn't want what I say to be heard, but he doesn't know this is the second time around for me.
After the first Gulf war they were hi fiving on the corner. When I told them they just killed 700 women and children with a bunker buster, they accused me of being a war protester in the Viet era.
In the daylight one, I believe it was being towed behind another bradley and the towbar broke. We had two turn over. I was riding in the back of the other one during a night mission. The driver went down an embankment at a turn in the road. That's what we get for sneaking around with no lights I guess.
the marines may be rated as the strongest and toughest, but you guys have the brains and the guts to be able to go in first to the hell of battle and still come out alive. also not only that you continue on the front lines never stopping and so you all can definitly realate to this quote
great vid bro. thank u for all u have done and i hope in about a years time to be doing the same just for the canadian forces.. FUCK YES MARINESSS would love to be one
We take so many things for granted when we have it easy. A deep and sincere Thank You, to all the men and women of the Armed Forces and also to the families of the Fallen or MIA!! By the way, great vid!!
@cmac490 IT WAS HARD 4 ME TO WATCH BEING MY NEPHEW WAS JUST SENT HOME IN A BODY BAG ,IT IS STILL NOT REAL AND A VERY HARD TIME FOR MY FAMILY.HE WAS A MARINE HE NEVER QUIT AND IN THE END HE PUT HIS SQUAD TO SAFETY AND LOST HIS LIFE 26 YEARS OLD 3RD TOU US MARINES.
wow its been along time since iv see this video.. the last time i seen it sfc. hull was putting it all to gather wow what a good job... from keith morgan 2nd platoon
Rangers lead the way and I cant wait to get back to get my anger management in check..now one more thing what is with this pdsd post drama bull shit,half those pogs have never seen more then a few dead hajis send them first so they can get the real side of the tv story & murder can be a good way to deal with stress.....rangers lead the way/2nd btln C co.
"A nation that prefers disgrace to danger is prepared for a master. And deserves one!" Ronald Reagan, RNC 1964. I thank God that not every American has crawled beneath a hole in abject surrender. These brave men deserve our praise and I will be damned to see America fall to communism and tyranny while these brave men kick ass and take names in order to preserve our way of life. We do it better than everyone else and do it in style. We do not appease dictators, we do not cave in!
since when has america been threatened by communism? the men and women in iraq are doing and have done a great job, but they are only there because bush invaded for oil. the sooner they are out of there the better. Afghanistan however asked for UN help against the taliban, thats where the armies of the free world should be deployed.
Elections may come and go. Presidents may come and go. Our soldiers are the real heroes! They are the ones that shed their blood for the liberty and freedom that is so precious. Today, I salute the American Soldier, Airman, Saillor and Marine! They go before us. They protect us. They die for us! I am humbled as I type these words. I am humbled because these brave men dare to take on a world that doesn't seem to like us, although, we have died protecting it. God Bless America!!!
no more sadaam hussein (the murderer) and a functional constitutional democracy exists today. I am sure the Iranian mullah's and Saudi family is concerned about internal revolt now. Your right, its not about the USA -
Guys, be safe, watch out for your Brothers and come home soon, stuck here in the state by circumstances, too old they said:( But the least i can do is trying to organized a little project from work and my Kids schools to support so call (Operation gratitude and Operation Iraqis Children) by Gary Sinise AKA LT Dan. God Bless You all.
Very nice.Perfect song.Love the stetson hat photo.What a treat!I might add the spurs were a surprise too.Didn't know u.s.cavalry authorizes the stetson and spurs as part of uniform.I served in the air force (retired now).Was part of the WAF before it became integrated in the regular air force.Thanks for the video.Many thanks to all who are serving in iraq and afghanistan.God bless.
As Mohammed was preparing to detonate his explosive vest at a special needs daycare, he shouted in an unhinged voice "Aloha Snackbar!", but nothing happened.
I love the soldiers .. I was soldier for 5 years .. I think that the mission of the soldier is noble .. always ... the American soldiers are losing their lives in their iraq .. striving for an ideal politician, doing the will of politicians dirty, dirty politics is anywhere in the world, political thinking about money, and send its soldiers to the poor to die iraq think are fighting for freedom?
Mr. Fixit, Great Video. Here is a bit of advice from a Vietnam Vet. Keep an address book of all your buddies.. keep all your photos, patches, memorabilia. Plan reunions man keep in touch. Keep a journal especially of your health records. While in country keep a daily note of where you were deployed and what happened.. remember names and dates. Have loved ones keep your letters, e-mails, videos. Never forget Your time of Service. May God BlessYou and Keep you Safe. Come Home Soon.
As a member of 1/3 ACR when most of this was taken it brings back some major memory's. love the shot of tiger 6, wish he never left sugar 6 just didn't impress me
If the song does not meet your standards, or appeal to your taste.... hit the STOP button and go bug somebody else. You are wasting your time with your "objection to content". I don't give a damn about pleasing you. (I could have said the same thing using only seven letters. Care to guess what they are?)
You backwards ass ignorant fuc*head. Read the description, cumguzzler. It wasn't about honoring the dead. This movie was merely an expression of his experiences in Iraq, and he'll put whatever music he damn well pleases on it. Fuc* your stupidity makes me want to shoot retards.
Hey, mrfixit853, I just wanted to thank you for what you did. If anyone tries to give you shit, just look up my profile and tell me where to find them. I'll take care of it for you.
haaaaaaaaaa !!!! this is what phicologist call pre-nostalgyc trauma it means they know they have to go and a big feeling of blame for having been used for such shame
Umm.... I think you're way out in left field there, dude! Just watch the video. You don't have to try and figure out what it means. The guys that were there know what it means, and that is all that matters.
Ruined, you say? Well, you could always give it your best shot and try to make things better. At least the western countries are trying. Maybe another world will come along and you can go there?
The reasons mentioned above are all that got me through it! Those reasons work pretty well whan you are over there eating dirt. If they don't look so good to you.... well... maybe it is just one of those situations where you need to be there to see it clearly.
Well i was happy being there to help the iraqi people, And im glad i got a chance to fight for my country. I have to put up with having PTSD but hey i did my job and i did it well.
1. It's for our country half of the country thinks opposite 2. It's our job illegal actions are not a soldiers job 3. We get paid to do it 1 dollar a kid? 4. We help rid the world of evil people start with your own liars and criminals in the gov. 5. We safeguard our friends and family from future attacks guess you are the reason for future attacks cause not a single iraqi has ever touched any american in us. 6. We want to do it then u have to deal with the consequences in the future.
The Middle East was ruined by your ancestors'. With out the western civilization finding oil and getting it out of the ground for you, you would still be using pointed sticks to dig roots to eat.
lol no we helped the world. Somalia, britian, germany. In ww2 germany attacked britian we helped. In somolia terroist and war lords. In iraq terroist. In afghanastain terroist. We have given food releif all over the world. We tried to do same wit iraq, but as soon as we get there we get shot at by xtremist. Simple as that.
I'll agree that you guys were doing really well but how can you say that Germany never attacked Britain? It's true that they didn't put a boot on your soil, but that's not what attacking is. All of the bombs that they dropped on you Brits count as an attack. I'm not trying to be a dick (I love the Brits and think you're some tough bastards), I'm just trying to point something out.
Brave rifles! I was loader on B4 in Desert storm 1990. I wonder if its the same tank in this video. We called it Bad influence. Thanks for you service, I'm very proud of every one of you guys!
I agree with you on the nightmare part. We emptied more than a few boxes of ammo in that stupid little square of a town. They were a little upset when we took over the Ba'ath Party HQ and moved in for a few weeks. It was the building at the NE intersection. We blew it up when we were done with it.
I was with Stetson 4/3 there in Iraq from Apr 03 to Feb 04. Thanks for showing our aircraft in your video. We did everything in our power to help you guys on the ground. And I have to say my saddest missions were those carrying the past to Bahgdad. It was never easy even though I did not know those brothers personally.
Good pictures of Al Qaiem. The was my smoke stop until the Marlboros got sour.
Really thanks for the vid. And your selfless service along with the rest. We will never forget.
My brother was with the 1/3 bandit troop when this video was made. In fact I have all the original videos with the explicit lyrics still. He was at Carson for over 3 years, when the unit moved to Hood he got transfered to Knox. Thanks to all of them for keeping him and each other safe. Hurry home Brave Rifles.
Chances are you see trophy shots. Captured armament ... or have mistaken Iraqi forces for Marines. (not a popular mistake) Easiest way to tell, is if the weapon is fired from the shoulder ... But yeah being familiar with ones enemy, and weapons, is wise ... Besides, Dragunov's are tollerably accurate ... some even better.
The soilgers r in Iraq right now!!! But...Its so sad if we loose our freedom!!! =< then it'll be even harder 2 live! =< Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! *Sniff Sniff*
It was driver error. One track went off the side of the road, and it rolled over. Nobody was hurt. We got out and jumped into the back of another Brad and did the mission anyway.
As far as I know, there was nobody in the back of that Brad. It had a 3 ft hole in the bottom. There were more unexploded shells and landmines that were not detonated.... Lucky....
It's possible. That was a tank crew getting out of that chopper. We did many different missions. Tank crews only had two M-4 for 4 people.(everyone was assigned am M-9 pistol) I felt better having a rifle with a pistol as backup - even if it was an AK-47.
Hey good stuff there Mr Fixit. Im from little old New Zealand and there are plenty of people in this country who think you are all doing a fantastic job overseas in these operations. They are certainly appreciated by us all. Your unit looks very switched on. You showed some excellent CQB/Room combat drills there in that video. Good work great video. Thanks USA
i think its a great video it shows what alot of people dont really see and to the kumatsovi racist russian lover guy fuck-you love being american and gotta love my job..
you fucking american people think all can be so romantic and nice by watching nice images with music , fuck your country fuck your mentality without feeling the horrible pain of what you are doing, under all this there is a big suffereing from bouthside
Hey kumatosky.... What's wrong? You don't like Bon Jovi??? I see you collect your little IED videos on your page here. It's always fun to cut a guy in half when you catch him trying to set up an IED. It is also great to be an American. Go bug somebody else. You wasted your time talking to me.
I think have the same pic of the tank at the beginning, from just about the same spot too, just, our tankers were facing the opposite direction... ~3/6 Marine

You may believe what you wish, doesn't make it true. If bin Laden really toppled the WTC, why haven't you caught him yet?
And why are you in Iraq? It had nothing to do with WTC. The hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Or so goes the official story.

@mrfixit853...lol how did you guys manage to turn that bradley on its side?
cumminsandcopenhagen 1 year ago
In the daylight one, I believe it was being towed behind another bradley and the towbar broke. We had two turn over. I was riding in the back of the other one during a night mission. The driver went down an embankment at a turn in the road. That's what we get for sneaking around with no lights I guess.

I don't take anything for granted and just because I'm American I don't have it easy.
What am I thanking the armed forces for? Raping and pillaging and making more terrorists?
Times Square bombing was about Americas actions in the Mideast.
Thanks for that, I'm sure there will be others.

"A nation that prefers disgrace to danger is prepared for a master. And deserves one!" Ronald Reagan, RNC 1964. I thank God that not every American has crawled beneath a hole in abject surrender. These brave men deserve our praise and I will be damned to see America fall to communism and tyranny while these brave men kick ass and take names in order to preserve our way of life. We do it better than everyone else and do it in style. We do not appease dictators, we do not cave in!
swampdonkey5150 3 years ago
since when has america been threatened by communism? the men and women in iraq are doing and have done a great job, but they are only there because bush invaded for oil. the sooner they are out of there the better. Afghanistan however asked for UN help against the taliban, thats where the armies of the free world should be deployed.

Elections may come and go. Presidents may come and go. Our soldiers are the real heroes! They are the ones that shed their blood for the liberty and freedom that is so precious. Today, I salute the American Soldier, Airman, Saillor and Marine! They go before us. They protect us. They die for us! I am humbled as I type these words. I am humbled because these brave men dare to take on a world that doesn't seem to like us, although, we have died protecting it. God Bless America!!!

not .. are fighting for politicians.

Mr. Fixit, Great Video. Here is a bit of advice from a Vietnam Vet. Keep an address book of all your buddies.. keep all your photos, patches, memorabilia. Plan reunions man keep in touch. Keep a journal especially of your health records. While in country keep a daily note of where you were deployed and what happened.. remember names and dates. Have loved ones keep your letters, e-mails, videos. Never forget Your time of Service. May God BlessYou and Keep you Safe. Come Home Soon.

BeerHombre 3 years ago
Ok so the wrong reasons for us lowly soldiers fighting in a war in no particular order are...........
1. It's for our country
2. It's our job
3. We get paid to do it
4. We help rid the world of evil people
5. We safeguard our friends and family from future attacks
6. We want to do it
So if these are the wrong reasons for us fighting what are the right reasons?
d3ath0rglory 3 years ago 2
The reasons mentioned above are all that got me through it! Those reasons work pretty well whan you are over there eating dirt. If they don't look so good to you.... well... maybe it is just one of those situations where you need to be there to see it clearly.

I think you will find that germany did not attack britain, Not a single invading german army boot set foot on british land.
America came into the war to claim all the glory us Brits were doing just fine. Although we wouldn't have if the great USA weren't giving us supplies.
d3ath0rglory 3 years ago
I'll agree that you guys were doing really well but how can you say that Germany never attacked Britain? It's true that they didn't put a boot on your soil, but that's not what attacking is. All of the bombs that they dropped on you Brits count as an attack. I'm not trying to be a dick (I love the Brits and think you're some tough bastards), I'm just trying to point something out.

I agree with you on the nightmare part. We emptied more than a few boxes of ammo in that stupid little square of a town. They were a little upset when we took over the Ba'ath Party HQ and moved in for a few weeks. It was the building at the NE intersection. We blew it up when we were done with it.

Chances are you see trophy shots. Captured armament ... or have mistaken Iraqi forces for Marines. (not a popular mistake) Easiest way to tell, is if the weapon is fired from the shoulder ... But yeah being familiar with ones enemy, and weapons, is wise ... Besides, Dragunov's are tollerably accurate ... some even better.
