[CombatVETmotoR1]

To the douche bag saying Allah agbar, first off it's not spelled correctly and second off I was a gunner in that squad how about you go fuck your mother and drink drain cleaner.

[chalajandro]

this here, makes me want to go over! the people seem friendly(please no rude coments, 'oh until they bomb you") its seems like a rich and friend culture! nice video!

[Lp023fan]

Wanted just to post here and say thank you for your services. Keeping us safe from our enemies.

Glad you guys came home safe.

My dad went to Iraq in 2003-2004 and Afghanistan in 2008-2009. Also lost a friend in Afghanistan in 2007. May he RIP and I miss him every single day.

[mmurphy2021]

This is what the "war" in Iraq should be, not a war at all, but an operation to support and rebuild a country that's could utilize our help.

[MelissaKerry1983]

Good man. Very glad to see bright and level-headed men like him in uniform, representing the United States abroad.

[KCAB229]

I love how videos like these never really get across just how fucking hot it is over there. Also I'm glad to see you guys making use of those new MATV's.

[Dhchoi56]

Yes, lets all argue on youtube comments, cause the whole world cares so much

[annata12]

That gun is insane

[CooperHaydenn]

"i kill my wife" "WHAT?"

[tekkenjam]

i like the term the soldier uses at around 4:15. suicide bombers and insurgents. terms used by someone else that hes using to justify us being there. my problem with this is that the military doesnt inquire free thinking and theres just too much propaganda now. not to say i dont respect our countrymen. i have 4 solid generations of war vets in my family. My advice to the soldiers is learn for yourselves what this war is about. Hope you guys are checkin out ron paul. Bring the troops home!!!

[reaperthreesix]

I meant csbob2010. Mother fucker got me all spun up!!!

[reaperthreesix]

And by the way asshole, Diplomacy does not work. Read your History. If it really worked, we would have never been there. Lastly, Mookie was a bitch in the beginning and ran and hid while young impressionable insurgents died by MY FUCKING BULLETS!!!!

HIDING BEHIND A WALL? UR A DUMBASS csr2010.

[reaperthreesix]

Hey csbob2010.

I'm that Lieutenant your shit talking. I never hid, I'm not a big mouth LT talking it up in front on the camera. Do you know me or my Soldiers? Do you know what our mission was or if I had Soldiers killed or maimed? NO!!! If you say you were there, then you know the wall does not protect us nor do the Mahdi Militia care it's there.

FYI, I was a GRUNT in the Marine Corps before going to college, raise two young men and got a commission. I became an Officer to protect Soldiers fr

@reaperthreesix

Did you not take any basic English grammar classes or something?

[realigion24]

@nealp9084 Your English is shit as well. Shut the fuck up.

[nealp9084]

@realigion24

Okay, but you missed a comma.

[csbob2010]

@reaperthreesix The fact that you feel the need to come on here and justify yourself is pathetic. Anyone that honestly thinks COIN ops are were effective in Iraq is a moron. The longer we were there, the more the local hated us. We did COIN op because it was the only thing we could do, basically buying time while they sorted out the political bullshit and training the Iraqi police/army. In history fighting an insurgency with brute force has never worked, and never will.

[AtomicStarBurst]

Just so you all know, ALL NATIONAL GUARD UNITS DEPLOY TO SUPPORT ANY WAR THAT AMERICA IS INVOLVED IN. The army national guard has been involved in every war this country has been involved in and they are fighting and dying just as much as any other branch. If your a Marine, Active Duty Army, Airman, or Coast Guard be aware the the National Guard has a high respect for each of you and will quickly and effectively take action to support and fight next to you if needed. I'm a 68W in the ARNG.

[iusethisforgood]

@AtomicStarBurst  I'm a 31B PMOS with 68W as my SMOS... What state are you from and have you ever deployed as a medic? It's a good gig!

[csbob2010]

I found this hilarious. I was in Sadr city in 07-08 when shit hit the fan. Constant firefights, IED's and sniper fire for about 12 months strait. This guy is hiding behind a wall trying to act all bad ass. COIN ops do not work. This guy has no idea what he is talking about. Brute force does NOT work. The only reason the surge worked is because Al Sadr went to Iran and called a cease fire. Diplomacy is what works That and leaving that shit hole and never looking back.

[iusethisforgood]

@csbob2010 You are a fuckhead. I served with the LT (soon to be CPT) in this video. He is certifiably insane, and isn't afraid of anything.

If COIN didn't work, why was GEN Petraeus, who developed the COIN strategy we use in Iraq (which was later used by GEN Odierno as well) promoted to command all of CENTCOM, then transitioned to the head of ISAF in Afghanistan. His COIN strategy effectively won the war in Iraq.

Diplomacy doesn't work with terrorists.

Also, you are a fuckhead.

[csbob2010]

@iusethisforgood COIN ops had nothing to do with it. It was a political victory, they got the Sunni insurgency to lay down their arms. And Iraqi insurgents are NOT terrorist you fucking clown. It is impossible to defeat an insurgency through brute force. If you don't understand this, you never will.

[JustD3fy]

@csbob2010 ownd

[thfFromRussia]

Louisiana guard patrols foreign city?

[AtomicStarBurst]
