Nice vid. I remember when psi ops played that song during the day prior while we were waiting for night to fall. Song still brings back images of that day. Again, real good job.
in the one picture where he had the helmet on a stick or something holding it up... was that to get the enemy to shoot at it and give away his position? i'm only 16 but plan on joining the army and want to try and learn all the tricks/tactics i can to just learn from others.
I think during the Black Hawk Down disaster, one of the pilots was taken captive. His buddies knew he loved AC/DC so they played it whilst flying over all the houses so they could find him. The pilot heard the music and the heli, took off his shirt, and waved it between the bars of his window in his cell. : )
I know at 255 is esqubels ass. gnner from alpha... that was near the mayors manor i think where me gaubert and demingez got shot at from 3 sides of that fuckin street and lcpl kam came buzzin up the strrett with the SAW
The video is great! Did anyone who fought in operation phantom fury know CDR Richard Jadick? I am reading his book now and it has been extremely inspiring to me to pursue my goal of working in a Forward Aid Station.
You guys did amazing in that battle, thank you for your service!
Disinformation. Completely inaccurate. The entire game is being QA'ed by Fallujah vets. Actually, the entire concept of the game came from US Marines who fought in Fallujah. As is typical, a very loud minority voiced their displeasure. The game is far from scrapped. It's being worked now.
i certainly hope the game does get released. our youth needs to understand whats going on in iraq and what you guys went through. all the good war games today are based on past events, or fictional events (ie call of duty). and no game developers have the balls to make a game about iraq (no good ones anyway).
im glad i didnt come to this video and see among the first few comments some morons from overseas criticizing and insulting our troops and the actions in the war. It really upsets me to hear other people in other countries talk down on our country and our efforts in the war. I'm proud of the friends I have who have served, and proud of those countless who have gave their lives in every great war America has ever been in. USA forever! Marines and Armed Forces Forever. Freedom always!
You're welcome...I remove all of those idiot's remarks so people don't have to see how cowardly some people are. They're still out there -- just not going to let them desecrate this page or ruin the memory of those of my brothers who fought and died in Fallujah
The guy in front has an RPK, but the other two guys look like they have M16s, but I don't think we started giving the Iraqis M16s that early in the occupation.
iraqi army, red armbands, 2nd guy might have a G3A2 and the third guy has an AK with what appears to be a polymer tan foregrip and a polymer OD green stock. Their weapons were mixed and matched leftovers, whatever was in good functioning condition.

God Bless The Corps! I'm a cop in Savannah Ga. Any Marine comes to my town and lets me know who he is, I'll buy em a beer, or 5! And that's from an ex-squid Gunners Mate. I thank God you Devil Dogs are on our side! Happy B-Day Marines, and if I may be so bold, SEMPER FI!
that battle was one hell of a fight. gonna be hard to follow in all of your boots. heres hoping i can measure up, Parris Island is 1 month out for me.
At 3:30 I believe that's sniper Dominic Esquibel who declined the Navy Cross for his actions on Nov. 25. His close friend Nick Ziolkowski was killed Nov 14 by another sniper.
RIP Corporal Ziolkowski and thank you all for your service.
Man seems like yesterday they were playin that song goin into the city... looks like most of the pics are of scout snipers, and the rest the battalions slide show pics. Was nice to see Kirk and Nick again, rest in peace brothers...
I was with hunter. In that building in the 2nd picture. I know all of these guys. I have a few more vids on here w/ some of the same pics. check them out
