Hey, HTW, this stuff is great! I did 11.5 years in Group, almost all in 1st Group (retired in '97). I see some things never change (although we didn't videotape stuff like this). Keep up the good work. I'll play my old Barry Sadler's Greatest Hits tape tonight for you.

"The swindler", LOL, that's cute. Great video.

''At least my 203s not open'' Oh man hah. Everyone must have been talking about that guy..

[HistoricThirdWard]

Everyone but the scumbag CSM who thought it was okay to put his dumb ass with us...

[klick4x]

[Betelgeus3]

[HistoricThirdWard]

[tombstone999]

That must have been one hell of an experience.

[HistoricThirdWard]

Thanks...And I've only shared a sliver of my videos...

@HistoricThirdWard "And I've only shared a sliver of my videos..."

MOOOORRREEEE

[DumDumShow]

this is some very cool footage my friend!!!

[HistoricThirdWard]

Thanks a lot...We made great memories out of everyday there...

[weedfoxs]

I wish i could get that exited for school!!!

QQ

[lSaif]

@weedfoxs Thats because they never went to school and want to educate themselves in hopes of rebuilding there country, its quite sad but I am glad they are building schools.

[sarsoora122]

Ahhh those kids are so frikkin cute! I love how excited they are for school :D

Nice work! :)

[HistoricThirdWard]

They were awesome. I have to see if I have videos from when I handed the kids frozen bottles of water in the middle of the summer. They all thought I was a magician...

Thanks!!!

[huntersmith22]

cool video man!

[HistoricThirdWard]

Thanks a lot, bro!!!

[amusementfilms]

Awesome-as always. Ever thought about cutting this stuff together into a feature?

[HistoricThirdWard]

The more I've been playing around with it, the more I am seeing how it could be a feature. There was a movie I saw last Milwaukee International Film Festival called "Nice Bombs". It was totally anti-U.S. military. This would be a good counter to that...

[rcde4ever]

said the schools supposed to be blue

yeah

surprise!

hahhahaha great!!

[HistoricThirdWard]

Yeah, the paint went to the wrong building...

[superkidsx3]

that, (yush) is wig-tastic!

[HistoricThirdWard]

I want to understand...

[superkidsx3]

don't worry, most people don't, but you're doing better than most people so, cha :D

just trying something different

[HistoricThirdWard]

Very good, cause the status quo is a goddamn lie paid for by commercials...

[ajmaljoe]

"the gloves looks gay on you" haha funny.

You guys are doing a good job there, but hope one day these people can buy those things themselves. many people in afghanistan even the government officials are just looking forward to aid money. they should work hard and earn the money instead of waiting for aid.

[HistoricThirdWard]

Exactly...Too many people were hoping for the UN to show up and save the day for them...  I'll have to post a video of all the construction going on and businesses beginning to flurish... I'm sure there's much more by now...

[kramcas2]

I love seeing these videos it shows a side of the current military operations in the middle east thats not all doom and gloom

[HistoricThirdWard]

Thanks a lot!!!  More to come!!!

[Pjphoto]

The swindler will be the future leader of the United Nations! Great video.

[HistoricThirdWard]

Haha!!!

[paintborg]

dude, when i saw this, i don't think that living in Croatia sucks....

[HistoricThirdWard]

Haha!!! That's funny...

[LaughingLeaf]

Great once again!

Seem to have pretty damn nice weather there!

[HistoricThirdWard]

It's either hot or hotter...

[JoeSomebody2]

I assume the majority of the children don't speak English? I don't know if I could handle that. I would keep thinking they were talking bad stuff about me in my face. :S

[HistoricThirdWard]

So what do you think the kids here in the U.S. are saing about you behind you back?

[JoeSomebody2]

EVERYTHING! I don't know what they are saying, but I know it isn't good, AND I CAN'T STOP IT! AHHH! :S
