Please check the commentary video and ideally leave your questions there as well: ruclips.net/video/X_RW5Wqj8y4/видео.html
This video should have no ads on it, I turned them off.
Should get ready to play whack 'em all with the trolls in the comments.
@@alinalexandru2466 Might be worth locking comments out.
I wish this video started with the list of the dead Afghan civilians, not in the very end just for a split moment. Fight the rich, not their imperialist wars. Rest in peace all who died in Afghanistan, in the end for nothing.
very sad friendly fire incident of US pilots recklessly killing a number of Canadian Soldiers
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarnak_Farm_incident
we also had our first woman killed in active combat
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichola_Goddard
altogether, it was a very strange time to be watching Canada in Afghanistan
I don't like what you've done and I don't see any point in it... but... you have to respect the tastes of others... I was going to answer some of the comments, but I think it's easier... and better For everyone, let it be... but of course you must have your dark reasons for making this video... a German making a video of Anglo-speaking soldiers... very rare... -1
Kirk Fuchigami, David Knadle see you in Fiddler’s Green brothers. Thank you for putting this together it means a lot to us whom lost friends over there.
British Army Corporal Taniela "Rocco" Rogoiruwai also died 15/06/10 - not shown on this video @32:38 RIP. Died the same day as Kgn Tagitaginimoce in a separate incident
I was the medic who kept Rocco alive until MERT could evac him and died on his way back to Bastion.
Thank you! We will look into this.
Sorry for your loss.
We checked, according to our data he died on 16th June 2010, this might be a time-zone issue etc. as addressed in the commentary track.
@@MilitaryHistoryVisualized Thank you for the clarification regarding timezones.
Keep up the amazing work 👍
Thank you and all medics.
People forgot that this was a multinational effort, very glad you included more than just the United States. RIP to all of the fallen
mad respect for have put no music or sound just the plain silence.
Let us also remember the many many thousands more who lost their lives fighting battles even after they came home.
Lest we forget.
@Commisar Yarreck Well they matter to somebody. Saying they don't doesn't do anyone whose struggling any favours.
I'm no stranger to being screwed around by big Army and it's nonsense bueracracy, but veterans aren't intentionally mistreated. It's just impossible for those who've never served to really understand.
@@commisaryarreck3974
Must you always drop turds in the punch bowl? Try showing empathy and class sometime, you may enjoy the novel experience; those around you certainly will.
Thank you for doing this.
Names and faces I know, and will always remember.
Rest easy my brothers, my friends, my mates.
May their souls never find comfort
My friend Jose Joel Reyes is alive and well in my heart. He is survived by a beautiful family and people that will never forget him. Thanks for this.
Semper fi. May He Rest easy
May he never find peace and burn in the deepest pits of Hellfire.
Rest in Peace, Joachim Claes Olsson. March 20th 1987 - January 25th 2010. He was a driver of a Norwegian CV90 IFV. His vehicle hit an IED in Ghowrmach.
Remember seeing his face on the front page of my local newspaper the day after this happened. One of the funniest dudes I've ever met. He could make the whole classroom break down in laughter just like Jim Carrey. Even though I hadn't seen him in years, the tears came streaming down. So bizarre and unfair.
RIP to all the fallen.
Lol. It's war. His fault for serving Western colonialism
RIP to my brothers we lost in Afghanistan LCpl Dominic Ciaramitaro, SSgt Vincent Bell, and Cpl Conner Lowry; RIP also to the brothers we lost after we came home LCpl Cory Fields, Cpl Emilio Rivera, and SSgt Donovan Walters. Stay dangerous, brothers. I'll see you on the other side.
"other side" being Hellfire
I am a 21 year old Argentine. A few decades ago my country waged a war against Great Britain over the Malvinas Islands. Even though we lost, the soldiers gave their all. However, today in my country the treatment received by veterans is disastrous. Not only do they live on the edge of misery, but there are always stupid young people who associate them with the dictatorship that existed in my country long ago. They call them "murderers and terrorists." It's a raw deal. When I posted this video it was to see how many good men gave their lives and I was shocked by the number. The line never ended. I had no idea that the war in Afghanistan had claimed so many lives. Maybe it's not my place to comment because, after all, I'm an Argentine who doesn't know much about the subject, but I've never seen such unfair treatment towards veterans as in the comments on this video. I know it only reflects a part of the population, but it's still unfortunate. How is it possible that they accuse those who died of "imperialists", "fascists" and genocidal murderers. It is one thing to say that they arose for nothing and quite another to take them from monsters. I thought my country only took its veterans badly, but I was wrong. This is not the place or the time to mock the dead. If they don't share their acts well, it's understood, but don't disrespect those who showed up. They should keep their mouths shut. There are veterans who wrapped up to watch the video and there are people who accuse dead soldiers of being terrorists. That's a lack of respect. And for those talking about the Afghan victims, go to the end of the video. And if you want to know the names of the deceased Afghans, look them up on your own. It seems that they do not have reading comprehension. Learn to read the title of the video. It's incredible that an Argentine offers more respect for fallen soldiers than some Americans. And if you want to answer me, do it respectfully and in Spanish, because I am sure that almost all of those who mocked the fallen are communists or have sympathies for that ideology, and since communism supposedly defends the "oppressed" and being I, a citizen of a third world country and oppressed by capitalism, do not demand that they speak to me in Spanish. I didn't want to write this, but I don't agree at all with the unfair treatment that some users have offered to the fallen.
I remember seeing one Malvinas memorial in Cordoba Argentina, I think it was 2007. As far as I remember a lot of men were also conscripts as well, I also served as a conscript in Austria but only in peace time, so I would have rather strong words for those "stupid young people".
Yeah, veterans are generally treated badly and if one knows the socio-demographic background of most soldiers, it is rather obvious that for some of them it was an obvious / necessary choice, it also shows that most of the "condemners" have a very superficial understanding about soldiers, yet at the same time to always point out how much they care.
Very well written, I think you have great future ahead of you!
Muchas Gracias! Suerte!
I wish we coud all stop fighting each other
@@stekra3159 i wish
It is a common experience for those that find themselves on the side of the war that lost. It happened to America after Vietnam, and it is happening again after Afghanistan.
Thank you for this powerfull Video.
lieber Gott sei mit Ihnen,mit all den Seelen
May God punish them
Well made.
Thank you.
what were they fighting for?
In an old Western movie the bad guys fired upon a house while riding away. (Like the Mafia gangsters on the 1920's on their cars).
The family head, a pink skinned English-American :P man got the Winchester rifle and got out of the house to defend it.
The middle age black skinned servant was about to do the same. But...
His wise wife, another non pink skinned person serving the pink skinned family, gripped his hand and held him behind a coach while saying:
NEVER RISK YOUR LIFE FOR THE MONEY OF A RICH MAN.
Jack shit
I remember when the invasion happened. It was understanble: the Taliban were hiding Osama and they did not want to give them up. The invasion happened. Osama was killed in 2011. As to why the pullout happened ten years later, I don't know.
@@caniconcananas7687 you probably weren't born when 9/11 happened.
You could make a video for all afghan civilians killed during the occupation (and I'm not talking about "service members") but I'm afraid the video would be way too long...
You could do as well or all the others calling for it.
@@Raptorsified
Those carping are a strong minority. Most are appreciative of someone remembering the loss. Some feel a need to complain
@@MilitaryHistoryVisualized I dont usually comment on videos but i will do it here, your responses to these comments bother me. They are legitimate criticism despite your message at the end. Responding "Do it yourself" to criticism is incredibly dismissive and comes off as you simply not believing these people mattered. While i do understand how annoying, and accusatory these comments may feel, if you do believe these people mattered you could have responded with something along the lines of "I wish we could have included them but did not for x reason". Youve spent an ungodly amount of time making this video for these service members, you can spend a fraction of that responding to comments for the thousands of victims you did not include.
You have made a statement with this video, and that statement is that these deaths are tragic. They are tragic enough for you to have spent a great amount of time to research and list them. But you have also made another statement, and that is that the other hundred thousand victims of this war do not deserve, or can not recieve, the same treatment. When comments point this out you do not even take the time to explain, you simply tell them "I dont care, do it yourself".
The disclaimer you put at the end shouldve been put in the beginning. It should have been the first thing in this video. You and i know that very few people will read the final disclaimer. This information, and the amount of afghan deaths should have been the first text to be shown. They should not be an extra fact at the very end that people will inevitably miss. It is also not clear wether the records are insufficient to learn of the names of the fallen, or if there were simply too many to include in the video. Regardless, those deaths should have been shown before everything else to give the viewers here an idea of the scale of the casualties, and to really put into perspective the amount of suffering inflicted on both sides.
You did a good thing here honoring these people who were sent to a useless war and to their deaths. But you did a bad job at honoring those you did not include, and that criticism is valid. There is a reason you didnt include them, you work making youtube videos. You cannot expect some random youtuber to have the time to make a video that is 17 times longer than this one. This topic is personal for millions of people, just like you may feel attacked by these comments, many others feel disregarded by the lack of information of how many afghan people died, and why they werent included. That criticism is valid.
Your videos are great, and they are amazingly educational. They are among my favorite content on youtube, and a major reason why is because of your ability to receive criticism and correct past statements. Its what makes these videos feel professional and trustworthy.
@@halmstadrapbeats8084 you seem not to be able to know the difference between valid criticism and people want to take the "moral high ground".
"You cannot expect some random youtuber to have the time to make a video that is 17 times longer than this one."
Why not? You completely missed the point.
" just like you may feel attacked by these comments, many others feel disregarded by the lack of information of how many afghan people died, "
The difference is: I spent several dozens of hours working on it, the others spent 0 minutes working on it, they just feel entitled.
@@MilitaryHistoryVisualized And you seem unable to acknowledge the fact that taking moral issues with how you chose to portray the lives of the afghan people automatically disqualifies that criticism. It does not. Criticism rising from ones moral view is valid. This video is clearly taking a moral position that the names listed in this video deserve to be remembered. The reason you chose to display these names and not others was a moral decision you took, and that was that the other names didnt deserve the effort that you would need put in. Any criticism towards that decision will by default be based on ones moral view of your decision. Youre simply disregarding any and all criticism of that because you disagree with them. Disagreeing with someone does not render that criticism invalid.
It should be obvious why you cannot expect some random youtuber to spend 17 times the amount of time you did on this, and that is because you didnt do it yourself. Presumably, because it would be too much work. Which is perfectly valid, it is alot of work. But compared to others, you have years of experience of making videos and what it takes to upload them. They dont have the skillset that you do. If you are unable to do it, then how would someone with zero experience be able to? Why respond with "Do it yourself" instad of "Check the end of the video" or "Such a video would be much too long/difficult to make"
"The difference is: I spent several dozens of hours working on it, the others spent 0 minutes working on it, they just feel entitled."
Entitled to what exactly? Equal representation? They are criticising your decision to not include the deaths of the people who lived in that country. Its the Afghanistan war, and you did not include the name of the people who lived there. We live in a world which is Euroscentric, where people from other parts of the world have consistently been disregarded, mistreated or just forgotten if they were not part of the western world. We do not live in a vaccuum, you made this video in the context of that world. People are pointing out that they yet again feel like they, or others, are being disregarded when they too deserve to be remembered.
You did spend several dozens of hours, and it was good work. But when you call people entitled because of it you may do well to remember that many of your viewers may personally have been affected by either this war, any of the other US wars, or their foreign policy in general, and they feel forgotten and disregarded. I am one of these people. I live in Sweden, my father is a chilean refugee who fled Chile after Pinochet.
The United States were very active in chilean politics. They spent millions attempting to influence the outcomes of elections, they provided the weapons which killed the constitutionalist General Schneider, and after the election of Allende in 1970 they actively destroyed the chilean economy to encourage a coup.
11th of september 1973 that coup happened. Pinochet took power and the United States immediately established diplomatic relations with him. He would rape, torture and murder political opposition. The children of people with left-wing views would be kidnapped at birth and trafficked abroad in order to prevent these children from adopting the view of their parents. Many of these children would end up in the western world. Countries like the UK, The US or my native Sweden. I was lucky, i was born here. I know who my parents are, but my father, and my brothers, were not born here.
My fathers side of the family i have never met. I dont know them. I have been robbed of this right because my father would have been killed had he stayed. My father struggles with trauma, and we have had a strained relationship throughout much of our life. This has affected me, and i identify with all the other millions of victims and their families who are consistently forgotten or disregarded.
11th of September 1973, 50 years ago this year, Pinochet seized power. But what people remember is the attack that would happen 30 years to the day after that. The very same event which sparked the wrongful invasion of Afghanistan. Every 11th of september i may see some anecdote about the coup if im lucky, while articles and recognition of the attacks on the world trade center will be plenty. I feel forgotten, just like millions of others. That is not entitlement, that is just us standing up for eachother and pointing out that we exist. You spent dozens of hours on these videos, but ive spent my entire life cut off from large parts of my family. My father has spent the last 50 years struggling with his trauma. And we both fight to be recognized. That is not entitlement. That is not taking the moral high-ground.
I identify with any other people who also go unmentioned and forgotten, who are relegated to an anecdote. Wether they be children who died in afghanistan, families who fled Iraq, or young americans who were tricked to go fight a war that did not need to be fought.
Again, this is a good video. These soldiers have also been forgotten. My only real criticism here is that i believe the text at the end should have been placed at the beginning and it shouldve been clearer on wether it was a lack of information or if it required too much work (which again, both are valid). Having it at the beginning would also make it feel like these people also deserve recognition while having them at the end makes it feel like theyre an after thought.
Edit: I dont want to make it sound like your dozens of hours on this video are nothing compared to others experiences. Rather the point i was trying to make was that just like you feel like people are attacking you, or ignoring the tons and tons of hours and effort you have put in, those other people also feel like you ignore them because of their years of being unacknowledge by everyone else. I wasnt trying to claim they or I have it worse than you, or are more justified in our feelings, i was trying to say that the context you have of all the work you have put in going unappreciated, so to do we have the context of our years of suffering going unacknowledged. We are both arguing out of the context of our own experiences, and its very easy for me to forget that you too feel like your work is going unacknowledged when 50% of your comments are criticising which names were and werent included.
I am also anonymous, you are not. You have your face and your name all tied to this video. You face hundreds if not thousands of comments who all criticise that video. It can become very personal. I dont want to ignore that, and i realize i have come across like i have, and for this i apologize. Its easy for me to sit here behind a screen and anonymity and write these comments. I dont want to give the impression that i dont recognize the sheer amount of time and effort you have spent on this video. Its a video you made to honor the thousands of people who have died in this war, its an incredibly selfless thing to do. But I also want to give my opinion on why it can feel like this video disregard many others, even if that was not your intention. I really apologize for this wall of text.
Can you do a video based on the Iraq Memorial 2003-2011? That also happens alongside with the Afghanistan missions as well.
@@Glavieman Do you mean 1) the 2001 anthrax attacks which carried out against the US government or 2) North Korea accuses the US of scheming to use anthrax against them and asked the UN Securities Council to investigate the matter. That's all I can find inf Google. You don't need worry about the Iraq Memorial video suggestion that I made, and I apologized if I brought up backlash because of it. How about instead there should be a video called "Why does the Iraq War happened?" and tell it as it is, with the lies that the Bush administration said, how it's carried out, and the aftermath of the war itself. Least in my opinion. Anyways, I apologized again if I brought up outrage because of my video suggestion.
@@Glavieman No, I don't know that.
Many thanks for remembering.
So much blood and treasure shed and then we cut and ran - The first time in over 30 years of service that I was ashamed. I have burned my ISAF shoulder patch
More than a few of those names are ones I recognise. Two of them are guys I worked with closely, one was a good friend of mine. They died on Valentines day 2011.
RIP Hutch.
Some context; I was the guy who noticed Dean Hutchinson being missing. I also had to wake up the squadron OC, and get a roll call going.
I'll never forget the glares I got from the Sgt and LCpl I was on duty with, that night. The looks they gave me when I innocently asked "hey, where's Hutch?". Those glares were looks of horrific realisation, and desperation. Desperately screaming in silence, begging me not to say it, not to even fucking think it.
I don’t see any Afghan names, was this addressed in the comments or were those people just disregarded?
The end section discusses that.
Never forget the men and women who gave their lives
Gave their lives for American imperialism. I spit on their graves.
I was there for some people on this list, but it was really surprising to me how hard the last 13 really hit me when it scrolled to black.
I don't normally comment on things, but this is my exception. I hope I am not alone when I say it will be hard to explain this conflict to the future generation, much like Vietnam. Veterans of the war on terror are all united under their shared experiences. Do not let the memories of those on the wall fade.
I hope all of those who put something into this war are getting their well deserved peace.
Thank you.
A punch in the nuts when you find names you know.
Too many names whose faces I remember
Excellent. Now you know to stay out of our land.
@barbell4492 ain't noone want to go to that shithole, every person there was there because of political and strategic interest far removed from their control or wishes. i can assure you not one westerner wants to step foot in that backwater, but there sure are alot of you guys rotating this way. i wonder why
So sad and so touching. Thank you so much for this simple but very deserved and loved tribute. Too bad that so many marines died in the very last few days of the mission, and some were 20 years old, almost like the mission itself.... rendezvous with one's fate
Perhaps they shouldn't have signed up?
What makes it even sader is how pointless this war was.
1:02:33 Josip Briski, Croatian Army Assembly Man killed on his last day of deployment by an explosion which also cost another Croatian soldier his legs. They were nice and loved playing football.
In total how many died?
May they all rest in peace! Brothers in Arms.
Belive they are not in peace.. Even if you put religion aside, they were part of occupation forces, bringing death and destruction to people..tell me again... Why do they deserve peace if they bring war to people?!
@@bojanvavpetic3032Yeah right. Privates they choose the politics. Or I will use a quote to describe your comment.
"...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. "
@@realirondude hehe thats yout argument... A quote that has nothing to fo with the topic... Ok... Answer this direct question since you are so inteligent: On what standard does a killer or an occupation soldier deserve peace? And the last time I checked privates in the western armies are not forced to go in the army. If you tell me they are going for the money, then they are the same as politisians just dumber...politicians get more from occupation and also they stay alive.. privates go and die, and their families get some "coins".
@@bojanvavpetic3032 they are dead and you will be eventually, would you liked to be mocked in death?

How many times did you have memorial or at least one minute silence like you have for the murderes of this children?
Thanks!

They shall not grow old, as we that are left shall grow old.

We will remember them.
Thanks for this, I was in Afghanistan 2008 and 2009. Lost friends. I have no words but thanks.
I think more British military personnel have killed themselves in civilian life than have been killed in Afghanistan or Iraq. Infact, more British soldiers. More British soldiers were killed in the Battle of the Imjing River (1951) than in Afghanistan or Iraq.
If you can look for it, find out how many British bomber crewmen involved in the destruction of Dresden and Hamburg killed themselves after the war. It was a problem amongst the US Air Force veterans.
After the first wave of bombers, each one of them could smell the charred human flesh of so many civilians they have killed. All of them knew that were about to murder many more civilians every time they bombed the city.
So horrible it was that a US newspaper printed the headline:
TERROR BOMBING
And it was the end of it. Because everybody realised that the RAF and the USAF were commiting CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
The generals in charge of those two organizations knew it. And some of them even recognised it.
But not everybody can cope with being a murder. So, many US veterans suicided. I suppose that some UK veterans also did as Ethics has no nationality.
Imjin River, if you want to l look it up on Wikipedia as I'm doing now. The battle that saved Seoul. But almost an entire British battalion encircled and captured.

All these human beings died for nothing. Lives ruined, peoples dreams ended. All to end up back where we started. They died for nothing, and pretending otherwise is the greatest sin against their memory. They should never have died, and all the civilians who also died even more so. This should never have happened. A true human tragedy.
It was pointless and probably some of those who perished knew that.

Question: A few of these from my state of Ohio I looked up, particularly William McDaniel, 12-02-02, and because he was from my area. Him and several others (example Jody Egnor, 21-02-02) died in a Helicopter crash while training in the Philippines. While tragic, and in no way diminishing their loss, training accidents do happen and these were not close to Afghanistan. Are all training deaths in the time frame being attributed to Afghanistan?
Also: Ryan Dane Foraker, from Ohio, died at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba of mysterious circumstances. 24-09-02
Please see the commentary track non combat losses are included, it is explained in detail there.
What did they all die for
This feel so utterly crushing and defeating. We never punished the nation and culture who caused all these families to suffer. Their sons and daughters killed in foreign lands by people who likely didn’t even know why we attacked them. Stop paying taxes
Excellent. Perhaps this will encourage them to stay out.
Sacrificed on the altar of empire. Sad.

Wieczny odpoczynek racz im dać, Panie, a światłość wiekuista niechaj im świeci. Niech odpoczywają w pokoju wiecznym na wieki wieków, Amen. Dobry Jezu a nasz Panie daj im wieczne spoczywanie ! Panie Miłosierdzia świeć nad ich duszami !

These men died fighting the ideology of Islamic terrorism, and for the freedom of thousands who they never met
Where are all the Afghan children's names? There should be around 300 thousand.

Oh, you prefer the Russian approach?
Poisoned wells.
Bombed villages.
Farmers shot from helicopters in their fields.
Running over people's legs with tanks to obtain intelligence.
Unlike the Russians, we prosecuted personnel who violated the rules of war.

It's sobering the costs of the war. There's so many other points of information about each person's biography and associations, and the circumstances of their death.
Major Jenerette KUTF B troop 1-108th CAV
Sergeant First Class Beale A Troop 1-108th CAV (Our PT field is named after him)
Specialist Jordan 1-108th CAV
Rest in Peace boys. We haven't forgotten you
🙏
Too many non-Americans on this list. 100% their war, the casualties should reflect that. I'd of course prefer there to be no casualties at all, but apparently that wasn't an option.
It was if you stayed out
By God, I didn't know that so many good men and women had lost their lives in those distant lands. There are too many names. Too many people who should be in their homes with their families. Too many who should hug their children. How terrifying that conflict was.
No. Screw those invading imperialist bastards.
RIP warfighters, they now guard the gates of Heaven
No they aren't lol. They're in Hell.
I can’t - I just can’t - I should be used to it by now, in my early fifties - it never gets easy!
:(
May it never be easy to criminals like yourself
All the actors responsible for the Afghan War from 2002-2021 need to be held to account. Investigated and at the very least cast out from polite society forever.
You mean the Taliban and Al-Quadra?
If not, F off!
@@gorillaguerillaDK by 2002 the Taliban Was history and Al-Qaida was on the run. If you think we needed to nation build Afghanistan for 20 years to stop the terrorists you are a fool and you are just as responsible for these deaths as any of the idiot politicians.
You mean Bush and company? That will never happen, Just take a look at the “outbreak” of the past two years.
Will never happen. People still think the occupations of Afghanistan & Iraq were good ideas.
Just for anyone who is curious:
The spanish soldiers that died on the 26. of May 2003, died in a plane accident, on the way home...
Tomas Prochazka, Joseph "Joey" Collette, Will Lindsay, Mike Riley, James Sartor, and James Johnston. Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for. Joey's posthumous promotion to Sergeant is not reflected in the video.
And all of it for nothing.
Afghanistan should've either been split into three smaller nations, or been a loose confederation of states. But instead, it got a centralized presidential system where the same ethnic group that made up most of the Taliban (Pashtuns) also got to dominate the government, alienating half the population.
What a waste.
Thanks Bush and Nato for providing widows around the globe....
It is a shame that all these people died for nothing and the defeats will have to keep being repeated because the same failed foreign policy team remains in charge in the US.
Just as those who went before, they shall not grow old
Now add all civilians

God bless and thank you for your service.
Allah curse them
Ah, the "Special Military Operation" in Afghanistan...
What did Spain do in 2003?
Plane crash in Turkey ;( as mentioned in the commentary track.
Ukrainian-Mediterranean Airlines Flight 4230 crashed killing the 62 spanish Peacekeepers, and the 13 from Ukraine and Belarus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian-Mediterranean_Airlines_Flight_4230
Thank all of you out there with respectful comments for leaving them. For the others, why come to a memorial video to virtue signal and complain? Are we gonna redo the Vietnam thing where we hate our veterans for 20 years until we figure out we shouldn't be blaming them? Also thank you Bernhard for covering this in the most respectful and human way i could think of!
Nobody blames the Veterans. The generals and politicos bear full responsibility.
@@royalwins2030unfortunately it seems most people don't realize that
this comment needs to get pushed to the top. Going to a memorial to piss on others sounds like a popular thing to do for a lot of the emotional and braindead people out there.
Can we get the same video from the war of 1979 to 1989? One of the most forgoten wars, and those who fought in it deserve the same respect.
Uhh, it seems the Russians don't show any significant regard for their dead soldiers.
@@massengineer7582 oh so other nations do? Nice of then write the names but continue to produce similar wars, you are blind if you think any elites in any nation cares for the poor sould they send to fight.
Also Russian? Last I checked Afghans fought form 79-89, also Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Kazaks, Uzbeks, Georgians, Armenians, Moldovans, Tajiks, Türkmen, Azeris, and Belarussians. They also not deserve respect?
@@bernardobiritiki let's assume the masses care for casualties more than the elites. In democracies, the elites don't have total control over the masses, so any high casualty rates would be challenged by mass protests which would change the government. In totalitarian states like Russia, protests by the masses don't change government action. So masses of Russians keep dying for the mistake of their dictator.
No, no they don’t.
The Soviet army in Afghanistan deserves not one speck of respect. You might as well ask that Rudolf Höss be included in the list of Holocaust victims.
@@mumblerinc.6660 Because you say so i assume. Only the lowest kind of scum desrespects the dead
Where was Pat Tilman's name?
Bro you got me good🤣🤣
it's there actually, you can see it on 4:03

Lest we forget
Please don't forget. Make sure to always remember. Stay OUT.
This hurts. Too many names. Too many names I know. SFC Stephens and SSG Trent. RIP
All those wasted lifes for what, is Afghanistan more peaceful or prosper today?
@@jackoates6418 ameen
Can we get a memorial for all the civilians killed based on faulty intelligence and/or callous disregard for human life?
How long do you think that list will be? How about a list for the civilians killed in Iraq? Or do "collateral damage" not deserve the same as people who willfully and intentionally knew what they signed up for?
Go ahead and make the list. I’ll be waiting.
Gonna start the list with:
Mohamed Atta
Abdulaziz al-Omari
Wail al-Shehri
Waleed al-Shehri
Satam al-Suqami
Marwan al-Shehhi
Fayez Banihammad
Mohand al-Shehri
Hamza al-Ghamdi
Ahmed al-Ghamdi
Hani Hanjour
Khalid al-Mihdhar
Majed Moqed
Nawaf al-Hazmi
Salem al-Hazmi
Ziad Jarrah
Ahmed al-Haznawi
Ahmed al-Nami
Saeed al-Ghamdi
Feel free to add those civilians who suffered from these wars.
Well how are you going to distinguish between causes? Iraq ended up in a religious and clan-based civil war that had no connection to the Iraq war itself.
And studying the patchwork of loyalties and conflicts in Afghanistan was literally a job in and of itself. It was only a small part of my work, but that shit was enough to make your head spin.
If a bunch of guys decide to join the nominal Taliban because their clan hates the pro-regime clan, and they get dealt with, is that deaths in the Afghanistan war, or death in the clan-based infighting that has existed for centuries.
Heck, I know more than a few former colleagues who popped open a beer to celebrate when the Taliban, our enemies, blew up the warlord M who was nominally supposed to be our friend.
How do you write that up?
@@RagedLemon
Thank you. Though I doubt anyone would sit through a list lasting 100 times longer than this one.
@@TheGaymo Ouch. Touche...
Although some might add that your reply is a complete abdication of responsibility and a complete disregard for the value of lives which had nothing to do with whatever the hell you're trying to spin here.
Also:
What about the million estimated civilian casualties direct and indirect as a result of the war in Iraq? Was that because of those guys too, or are you willing to place some responsibility at your own doorstep.
If you really want to go to war against killers of innocents how about the 3-4 "9/11s" each year because of gun violence? 10-15 "9/11s" because of opiods. Hell, what about the thousands of veterans that come home scarred (physically and mentally) that are wholly ignored by their own society.
Make _that_ list and i'd wholly applaud.
Everything else is jingoistic faux pariotism.
But hey, whatever makes your juices flow.
ok now do afghan civilians next
That won't generate clicks
i love that they morn the people who actually wanted to be involved in this mess.
Why don't you do it?
If you were that concerned about the Afghani civilians, where was your protest when the Russians were bombing villages, machine gunning people in the fields from helicopters and poisoning water wells?
No such memorials for all the murdered civilians.
Well, you can always work on it.
Love the way sooo many are concerned with the civilians killed by the west in Afghanistan and Iraq, but not a peep from them when Russia was doing the killing in Afghanistan, Syria, Chechnya, Georgia...
@@richardcowling7381 whataboutism
@@mitar555 Same could be said about those people complaining that no civilian deaths where shown.
