  • When thousands of United States troops from Georgia’s Fort Stewart and Fort Benning invaded Iraq on March 19, 2003, one was an Army specialist with a camcorder, Robert Ayres.
    Ayres was an infantryman deployed at a makeshift camp in the Kuwaiti desert a few weeks earlier called Camp Pennsylvania.
    As Army troops ramped up to cross the nearby Iraqi border, he trained his camcorder on some of his comrades-in-arms.

      Its so easy to understand but some how you cant? A leader of the US said that we were going to war. The first part of the war was fine like in this documentary but then they didnt pull us out. Its stupid to hate on the civilians when they disagree with something another country is doing being that the civilians/soldiers are not the ones that chose to go to war. Thats like me hating on russian civilians because their leader is making them go to war. The Iraq invasion is pointless and so is the Ukraine invasion.

      You live in the US, I assume.
      Given the history of the US, and as you point out , the fact that the president's power is not restricted (tough it prides itself as a democracy) ,a sovereign nation must possess the ability to defend itself.
      Given the untrustworthiness of US leaders, the expansion of NATO can't be allowed.
      If you see a venomous snake that has killed two people in front of you, slowly creep towards you, do you let it bite you first or do you kill it at once?
      So Putin is securing a buffer zone between NATO nations and his country, it's the only way he can secure his interests.
      As you yourself say, your leaders are whimsical and don't give a damn about international laws .
      And the fact that Putin's popularity surged in Russia after the start of the SMO, is proof that Russians support the operation.

    I gave birth to my youngest son on 20.03.2003, through emergency C section, when I came round from the general anesthesia, and able to make sense of the world I was told the war started. And since than, I always remember and pray for pregnant women who were in labour on that day and what happened to them. The fearful feeling still resonate with me every anniversary of the war.

I remember going to school in the morning talking to him through a Skype call, and I would see the sky light up red behind him.. he’d say “sorry kiddos gotta go, the firework show is starting” and would wish us a happy day at school. Off I’d go naively unaware of it all.
    His unit had just relieved a previous unit of the marine expeditionary force before Saddam started using chemical warfare on people. He tells me stories of being the first guys there to set up watching their ship sail away, until of course a much bigger ship showed up. His version is much more detailed so my version is simplified.
    He was an artillery man, and is even spotted shooting his guns with his crew in a documentary called “The Battle of Al Khajfi”. He didn’t have any ear protection on so it makes sense he can’t hear much lol. He told us how the barrels of their guns would be red hot from the firepower they were sending. He did private work overseas as well for two separate companies, doesn’t talk much about that though.

      There's one thing I don't understand. It is generally taught that the Iraqi army was quickly destroyed by the US and its allies. However I see in the comments section several former soldiers talking about colleagues who died, or lost limbs, or were otherwise seriously wounded in the course of several (re)-deployments. Something doesn't add up. Who was putting up the resistence?

    • @theamazingempiricist
      @theamazingempiricist 9 месяцев назад +3

      There was a power vacuum after the Iraqi army was decimated by the US. Local warlords and militia took power on the basis of stabilizing their region or area. Their allegiances were based on their branch of Islam (Sunni vs. Shia) or tribal affiliation. The fighting from then on was a lot more like a drawn out guerilla war with different factions terrorizing each other or the US forces still in Iraq. The US eventually withdrew unceremoniously and now Iran flexes an enormous amount of influence in Iraq through the militias that succeeded and also won elections.

    Man, I remembered being put on stop movement orders prior to the war starting as I reenlisted to move over to the 3rd Infantry division. I was with the 4th Infantry division and we were originally supposed to push from the north via Incirlik air base in Turkey but we were denied so we had to reroute our equipment to Kuwait and then gear up and move to support 3rd ID as they were getting close to Baghdad. we were combat loaded onto a HETT and was driven until we were 10 miles outside of Baghdad. We were dropped there and then moved into Baghdad. Even after 3rd ID cleared the way in, we got into some engagements of our own. fast forward to August 2003, I was given the all clear to move to 3rd ID and Joined them as they were taking their well deserved leave. I went back to Iraq three additional times (2005, 2007 for 15 months in the Al-Anbar Province with brigade at Ramadi and 2009 to shut down the bases) four total deployments and three of the four was with 3rd ID (two with first brigade and one with third brigade). I still have nightmares about my deployment days of 2005 where 90% of the negative things of the deployment happened. I was 26 years old and at that point I had six years in service.
