This Is War: Memories of Iraq - Trailer

[Insurgent999]

I want this when is it out?

[TheYaamichita]

My close Friend and a soldier in the Oregon Army National Guard during the filming of this Documentary showed me Pictures he had taken while he was deployed... he had never shown anyone the photographs he had taken in Iraq during those horriffic days.. But he showed me... Tears streamed down my face as I watched this trailer tonight. I am so grateful to all of you. Knowing one man among many, my heart reaches out to those who died for me. For my Freedom.

[Butchuk2007]

No Hollywood glitz here. Just raw war. Most of it not very pleasant.

[JollyRodders]

I've just watched thid DVD. The real stuff is much better then Hollywood make believe. Whoever did the editing on this did a very good job. It just shows you that you don't need thousands of $s worth of filming equipment to get some hard hitting footage. Interesting to see that they listened to the BBC and most if not all the news commentry was British. The poor man laying down on the road with the back of his head open and brain exposed, {Not shown}, and still alive was a bummer. Horror of war.

[mad755]

poor soldiers,actually believe thier there for a cause which is to rid the world of terrorism,when actually there serving the worlds biggest terror orginizastion AKA AMERICAN GOVERMENT,I hope wikileaks ass-fucks the white house in to hell,,,stick your NWO up your pitiful lil rectums

[MSboyy27]

this wasnt very good

[TheBanaphsh]

Happy time killing people ha???

[livegunz]

A decade later and these occupations are still going on. Who wins here ? The military contractors, the weapons manufacturers. The same people who serve in the 'defense' department of the American government.

Its a shame to have to serve for the same people who lie to your face. These OCCUPATIONS are criminal.

[olegkikin]

What's the music playing starting around 1:20?

[minorUpheaval]

My brother Jake Kovco died in Iraq 2006. I really want to see this.

[Rsaum300]

learn to spell first then comment ok

[krazy310706]

i AM a soldier that lost my leg in iraq and lost my whole hamstring plus some on the other. we only lost one comrade R.I.P. Josh Ford and it's not so much of want our country told us to fight for or what Americans think what we fight for. us soldiers kno that its who we're fighting beside. our brothers 'n' sisters in arm. I thank my country for lettin me serve. remember the fallen..........HOOOAHHH!!!!!!­!!

[shanvick1]

@krazy310706 mate you are a real champ. HOOOOOAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[mookixox]

@krazy310706 Hey hoppy, glad to hear you lost your leg fighting the magical barefoot cave ninjas, can you do us a real favour and stop the illegal aliens from crossing the border? That would be some tax dollars well spent.

[StargateMunky]

@krazy310706 I severely DOUBT you served with spelling like thta

[OwenIVx]

@StargateMunky You don't spell in war, you shoot.

[StargateMunky]

@OwenIVx tell that to the guy giving the co-ords for the airstrike

[OwenIVx]

@StargateMunky Damn... isn't that through radio though?

[drcornelwest]

Witness the confusion of our brave soldier as he attempts in vain to defend his brothers. Bush and his endless quest for oil is wreaking havoc on us all yet we still believe mystically that he is somehow just. A Ford pickup and American Idol seems to be all we need these days even as this iconic tragedy unfurls like the flag of a defeated nation.

[taofledermaus]

Yawn....

[nerlyn5]

yawn=your life

[iDropShot856]

@drcornelwest let me guess ur a democract liberal?

[JCKronin]

I am one of the soldiers in this movie and I know all the soldiers in this trailer. 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry, Oregon Army National Guard OIF II, Mar 04 - Mar 05

It is ignorant to think that nothing good is being done by the soldiers just because the war was wrong to start. As those on the left seem to think. But if you still think that fox news and Bush is not lying to you. you are a fool. stop pointing fingers left and right and DO SOMETHING!!! just a bunch of blamethrowers.

[cryhavoc2000]

Leave it to a Romanian to break out the anti-US rhetoric. I guess living under the Soviet boot was such a good time it makes you kind of nostalgic. Too bad for you the surge is going so well and Iraq is beginning to grasp how good life can be after Saddam. It's called freedom. You should look it up sometime.

[kamilaltintasoglu]

They would better write "They fought to destroy a country' than "They fought to rebuild a country".

[wasco47]

This is a great documentary and it would do a lot of good for you and your hippy friends to put down your bong for a while and watch it. And you guys are supposed to be the ones with open minds?

[kamilaltintasoglu]

USA is the biggest terrorist in the world. I hope one day all this things will have an end and all the people of the earth will leave in peace.

[Boci16]

The earth will never live in peace, let's face it. It's to bad! :(

[kamilaltintasoglu]

Let's be optimists. I hope that one day we will livi in peace.

[JCKronin]

Kamil- if you are old enough to post here and still an optimist about human nature and peace than you are a naive child who has never had to do anything difficult or been anywhere dirty. enjoy your privileged life.

[username13245100]

never gona happen :(

[kamilaltintasoglu]

Does anyone of those soldiers why are they in Iraq?

[combatboy1]

This film has now won the Audience Award as best documentary at the Idaho International Film Festival and the Jury Award: Best Documentary at the Miami Media Market Film Festival. Way to go Oregon 2/162 and Gary Mortensen and Scot Laney!

[chrishaighcomposer]

Chris

[bmuthiora]

This will be showing in Boise, Idaho :

[drcornelwest]

Once again we witness the proletariat fighting over the last crumbs of absurdity in a war that serves only one master. Awaken to reality and understand that as long as you debate this war you are but only a frivolous distraction to the power elite. What will you tell your children when they ask you why nothing was done to end the insanity. You both argue from the same side of the counterfeit coin. Your blindness is breath taking.

[racebanion]

dmk1979...it's pretty obvious you are the one who lost your balls

[heavydny86]

lol, that was a stupid comment, you're an idiot.

And furthermore, I believe dmk has a valid point. No one doubts that our brave troops have done good things for these people, and that we are working for equality and peace even if it is for american gain. But that doesn't mean shit if there's a civil war tearing down those schools we've built.

I thank the troops, and dispise the fact that people like you want them as cannon fodder for the political gain of the republicans and far right.

[dmk1979]

"There's a lot of good stuff goin' on"

New schools or "free-elections" cannot over-shadow wide-spread violence and instability. It's sad to hear people puke such bullshit. It's like, shooting a man in the balls, and when you visit him in the hospital you say to him, 'You may have no nuts but you can cast your vote in next years election!' Do you think he gives a fuck, without any balls? Or without a fucking family? Without peace? You Morons.

[combatboy1]

Received my copy from luckyforwardfilms. This is a great documentary, first rate.

[racebanion]

Great job. Is this coming out in theaters?

[combatboy1]

racebanion

I don't know but I found it to buy at luckyforwardfilms

[drcornelwest]

Perhaps the truth, reduced to its basic root, becomes too compelling for those who are blind to it. Consider Plato's allegory "The cave" and understand that all is indeed an illusion. Witness the moral ineptitude of the one called Bush and ask yourself "Is this my America"? The crypto-fascist right is purely a party of profit. This too shall pass.

[primalooze]

Tell me your are kidding. You have to be. Arabs are nice? What an idiot, I honestly have tree stumps in my back yard that are smarter than you are. Promise us all that you never plan to procreate!

[menaremean]

I'm not really sure what the war is about but I think Arab people are really nice. I don't know why we are figting them when we have so much to worry about with the environement and other stuff the republicans have caused. My boyfriend says we are only fighting over there becuase of oil...and I think it's pretty interesting since its oil that is causing global warming and that's totally sucky. I really liked the music in this video.

[combatboy1]

Troll. This person made the same reply to the Omaha vid a few weeks ago. Fake, as nobody can be as stupid as this person. Go away, or just repaste the same remarks you made before.

[combatboy1]

The troll comment was directed to menaremean. primalloze, just wait. If this idiot is for real she is so light bertween the ears a fucking flea would beat her at a crossword.

[r3v0lv3zr]

Great vid! My brother is over in Iraq right now. I'll be picking this up for sure.

[RollingThunderHorse]

This this very interesting and informative. I'm going to see if I can find it on the Internet now to buy!

Thanks for sharing!

[masterod1]

I bet AbC and NbC etc.. will not want this seen..

[combatboy1]

leave it to a lefty to try and make this something it is not. drcornelwest is the type that should buy the movie and see for themselves.

[drcornelwest]

Once again we have proof that Bush's jingoistic quest for petroleum leads to despair. Witness the suffering of his imperial troops in a foreign land and ask yourself "can we not do better?" The finger of corruption remains decidedly pointed at the White House and their running dogs at the Pentagon.

[BemaniFreak]

This film, which I watched, and these soldiers are like any soldier in any war. Keep your politics out of it and think about the experience these men went through. That is the reality and they did it so you could call us and any one for that matter, "dogs!"

[combatboy1]

cryhavoc, this movie is not anything political at all, has a really centered view and tells the story of what the guys do over there.

[cryhavoc2000]

Harry Reid should watch this. Nah, forget it...he'd just surrender.

[combatboy1]

Unbelievable. I actually got to see the movie and it is one of the best I have watched. Worth the money to buy, 100%
