This troop runs so efficiently, and seems well supplied. In reality, poor Connors would be filling out DA-forms for supplies outside of the TO&E, be short of trip flares, wire, and sandbags. One of the M1114's would be sent out for maintenance, and a MK-19 would be down. CPT - "Connors; We have no interpreters available, so do the best you can. Any other questions?" Connors - " Sir, I, uh.... No, sir..."
This was one of the most informative and enjoyable mini series I have ever had the pleasure of watching a good long while, thank you for documenting this story!
I want a hybrid rts/shooter where you have to analyze a given area and then set up and enforce a COP, run patrols, engage insurgents, etc. That would be vidyagaem heaven for me
I wish these were all mandatory prior to deployments back in the day. Unfortunately, each soldier is fighting his own war for his own reason like protecting the guys next to him at all cost, personal glory or do whatever it takes to go home. It can be tough sometimes to see te big picture.
@NPC #40249 lol this kid joins hes 100% more likely to kill himself.. all our boys do is go over their kill a civy or 2 and then go home and pop em self. I think my advice is decent..
@@dsmith977 where did you get that stastic, The University of Your Ass? Yes because every single veteran kills themselves and that's why there is none around
I sincerely apologize for mentioning this, as it may seem harsh and inappropriate. However, I was already familiar with the cultural aspects which the Lieutenant only learned in the field. This is due to my upbringing and family connections, which differ from most Americans. Though I am a civillian, I have basic understanding and appreciation that the United States armed forces have limited time for cultural training, . It is my understanding that the majority of US military personnel receive social interaction training inferior to what is provided even to US law enforcement personnel! From an emotional standpoint, I am very disappointed -- and in fact, I am enraged -- that the Lieutenant did not receive adequate cultural training. I expected he would not have received enough compared to what I know, but I only know a small amount -- while effectively, Connors was given no advance information about their culture. I find that infuriating. We must dismantle the corrupt influence of the American petrochemical industry. It is crucial to acknowledge that purchasing oil from the Middle East, knowing that a portion will definitely support terrorism, is either highly unpatriotic or treasonous. Those who can contribute to the green revolution but choose not to due to greed are on the path of malevolence and evil. Furthermore, until US petrochemical workers can transition into other fields, it is essential for the government to provide financial support comparable to their previous earnings in the industry. Otherwise, those workers will justifiably fear and resist the green revolution. Frankly, Satan is using our dependence on oil as part of his plan to annhilate us, and it is working.
The video is using Connors as an example of what NOT to do, so that when soldiers actually arrive, they see his mistakes and do not repeat them. That's the whole point of the story.
@@Hellblade8 More or less, yeah. It's also notable that this is circa *2008.* The most the average American knew about the middle east was that it had oil, people who wore funny clothes, spoke a different language, and a guy named Saddam Hussein who they gave the boot. 2008 America was a uh... A place, for sure.
+Abuse of mainstream media can harm your mind! Remember that this particular training video is when the soldier has failed five other times and learns from all his mistakes. Obviously not every commander has such foresight, and in the heat of the moment many buckle underneath the strain of maintaining those 16 fundamentals while also remembering protocol and the like. It's a shame that the true product is the sadness that is Afghanistan, but on a brighter note, Afghanistan is quickly improving and the military seems competent enough (in comparison to Iraq's military in shambles due to American political skewing and a pressing situation leading to corruption and inefficiency) showing that while the aforementioned video is very true, at the same time Vice released a newer documentary about how the Afghani government is handling the problems. All in all, no problem is magically solved, it requires constant watchful eyes, such will be the case with Iraq, and hopefully we don't try putting minority Shiites in almost total power, because ISIS is exactly what is the result. Too much pull in the right direction takes you too far over there, and the reactionary reaction is something to fear in all planning.
These were really well made. I'd love to see more made in the style of this series, seeing the progress through each dream was pretty awesome.
Poor Lt., he is stuck in a time loop.
This troop runs so efficiently, and seems well supplied.
In reality, poor Connors would be filling out DA-forms for supplies outside of the TO&E, be short of trip flares, wire, and sandbags. One of the M1114's would be sent out for maintenance, and a MK-19 would be down.
CPT - "Connors; We have no interpreters available, so do the best you can. Any other questions?"
Connors - " Sir, I, uh.... No, sir..."
What would be the correct moves in the same situation without interps and limited/no requested supplies? Thanks
Hm...learn arabic, urdu,.... and various dialects :-) ... before :-)
Worse, Taliban black oped the project and the Americans got blamed. The detachment had to leave because of political pressure.
Daniel Sebastian Rode Yh sure just lemme learn a whole set of dialects in a language I don’t speak before moving out
@@yosh_io See if the local leaders speak english or if you can start a penpal relationship with the local leaders using google translate.

This was awesome. Very informative and more entertaining than most modern entertainment out there.
Great execution, and your presentation was amazing. By far more interesting than the crap they put on tv or movies.
"I realized i was just landing in Kuwait, and that I am just a LT. I proceeded to unload my gear and go make coffee for my senior officers".

Afghanistan is quickly improving?????!
Where, in Kunduz?
@@toyboxgaming1267 Sooo...
How about that improving Afghan government?
Lol this video pretends like it is always functioning. “Btw, you can’t get any of the supplies you wanted”.
Wow army dog officer with fu Manchu and his CO hasn’t shaved in couple days. Nice depiction of disciplined soldiers...NOT!
