@@cardboardbox9119 sorry to disappoint but I wasn’t I was born until 2000 but my dad who worked in the petrol sector of the country told me about it he was Turning 16 at the time he also said to me that the smoke from the fires was so much that he couldn’t tell if it was day or night he woke up and then went back to sleep and kept doing it until he realized what’s happening my dad would tell me that I’m lucky that I wasn’t living in those times him and my mom suffered but I wouldn’t consider myself at all

@@cardboardbox9119 Yes my dad was afraid but he like my other young men who proved what they’re made of was willing to die if that’s what it takes to get the country back he once told me about the time that he was nearly killed or taken as P.O.W he saw a bunch of Iraqi soldiers stepping on the country’s flag and they told him to leave it but my dad didn’t listen and one of them pushed him against the wall ready to shoot him or arrest him but a ranking officer told him that my dad wasn’t worth the trouble now this was at that the time that having the country’s flag or even a picture of the ruling family in your home is crime you will get arrested and tortured for because they would think you’re part of resistance group which there a lot and due his mother’s (my grandma of course) concern he benefited the country in a much safer way he provided bread and for families waiting in line to get it because the supermarkets were picked clean and you’d be lucky if you got anything and that to me is why I consider my dad my Hero
I'm from Kuwait. I remember my dad was telling me during the war there was no sunlight. All the times it looked like it was 6 pm because of the pollution when they burned the oil
Him saying, "That's Vietnam. Why don't we get are own song." Really does mean something. We been at war with the Middle East for so long people don't seem to care nor pay attention to our troops or the cause.
Bob Nappa Ehmmm, Operation Firestorm? Although not raining oil but atleast something. Also outside the map there is a burnt place and burning oil wells to the left of RU deployment
I served with 11th Marines Regt Comm, and went through the Ground War as part of jump team for our main unit. The darkness at 2:40 in this video and the sound of the oil fires in the background gave me chills. The copied it perfectly.
@@DampSeagull9166You’re glad a war criminal made it? Crazy to think losers like you can actually look up to war criminals who invaded other countries and committed war crimes
Rest in peace to all those marines that lost the war on cancer and prayers and thoughts to all those who are in a war today with lung cancers leukimia and other forms of illness because of exposure to burn pits. 🙏🙏🙏
And nothing happens. Oil needs even higher temperature that is in cigarette to start burning. You would need to blow the air into the cigarette and touch the oil with it at the same time. Then the temperature is high enough
News flash. Every soldier in a video game is based on a real life character in a real life scenario of life and death. Not everyone gets a respawn and goes back to the start menu. If you die, you die.
That could´ve been so terrifying and apocalyptic for those who fought on the Operation Desert Storm. I´m sure they could be afraid to become firefighters as retired vets with PTSD.
Its weird how my dad was in the gulf war as a U.S Marine and his friend was there when they got ambushed in oil...I never have seen him he died . R.I.P. Dad
"Fowler!" Dude dips down like he just got caught doing something he shouldn't. "What you doing over there?" "Nothing" Yeah naw, homie. You up to shit lol
crazymonkey19071907 Like when I was Young with an older body.. no shit.. ya body grows old but you don't have to grow old with it.. You are eternal no matter what you may "think".. Peace
The cinematography is beautiful for this film. And I know there are war movies with better cinematography but this movie still has great camera tracking and visuals.
This movie not only captures the numbness of war, but also its cruelty. Subjecting its men to the literal hell beneath the earth with little regard for their health... What a fucked war.
I will admit it was a swift victory, but its never without sacrifice. I feel like there were a lot of people put under poor conditions and exposed to things unlike any other war before it.
I was in the gulf twice and also a product of the 80's. Respecfully, there was always something about the music from the Vietnam Era. I remember being one of the first 44 man Security Police Air Base Ground Defense Teams that were called to the Phillipines during Operation Palace Blitz (Coup Attempt that jacked the whole country) They were loading us on a Freedom Bird Contract 747 at Kadena AIr Base. New PCS Service members were leaving the plane with there families in Civilian attire, Class A's and Class'bs and we were boarding from the back in Camo, face paint live weapons, laws and grenades. We blasted Jim Morisson on the way to Clark. Im also man enough to admit, I puked my guts out in the head about for times and almost pissed my pants a few times that I was that scared. That was early in my career before Desert Shiled/Desert Storm and this shit now so I have a very fond spot in my heart for our men and women serving now. But, Kick the Jim Morrison, its therapy! Love my troops!
That Vietnam quote is hella funny. It’s feels so self-referential to war films being that most try to copy apocalypse now and the psychedelic rock of the doors. So cliche. It’s like him saying this is overdone af, can we get our own shit
Complements the film too, with it's many vietnam and full metal jacket references (what they want the war to be like) versus the actual reality of their war.
I new the Iraqis burned the oil wells, but never knew it was raining down on them. Weird stuff man. The Gulf War was one of those wars like Vietnam where it was just a trip.
Imagine if the Iraqi Republican Guard fired incendiary mortars at the advancing coalition troops. They would light all of them on fire since it was raining oil.
"Can't we get our own fucking music?"
I don't know why but I really like that line
