born too late to fight in the middle east, born too early to fight in the middle east, born just in time to fight in the middle east
More like in Russia.
Stay out of the Middle East kid
@@MrEvrit Same thing if you go south east in Russia
Hah
@@MrEvritDumb. You totally missed the point if the guy"s joke. Plus, our politicians don't have the balls to send troops to Russia.
Generation Kill is still one of the best miniseries of all time
First thing I thought when the video started is they stole the Johnny Cash song from the end of Generation Kill when they're all watching the video camera footage together
THEE best.
Word
It was a terrible series, I’m all for shock jock style humor but whoever wrote the movie tried way too hard to be funny.. That style humor is meant to catch people off guard, So trying to be funny every other line kinda has the opposite effect😂
@@Norturna It was written by the imbedded reporter that was a character in the show.
Do you want to know the crazy thing, my brother was there in 03, I was in middle school, then I joined, and when I was getting out as an E5, they gave me a new private whose dad had served in 03, when he was 4 years old… and the freaking thing was still going on.
Yeah, we all know that the war lasted a while. It was on the news.
His dad must have been strong at 4 years old to fight in a war
@@desertstvrmshut up dude😂
I think he meant 40 yrs
@@Nerobunny23 the new private was 4 in '03, guys. This isn't complicated.
Born too late for the GWOT, born too early for war with China. born just in time to go on pointless rotations. hooah.
Had I joined right after high school I probably would’ve been there for the final years and the pull out. By that time though everyone wanted nothing to do with Iraq. Opposite mindset compared to how it was in ‘03
Ты можешь приехать добровольцем на Украину. Ты наверняка погибнешь, но все же
Born too soon to die in the sandpit, born too early to die in the sandpit, born just in time to die in the sandpit
i hear ya on that
@@MetalMilitiaMan87thank god u didnt cause it was nothing as u see or as we speak it's for the best my fellow Americans not experience this war kinda war ever again good life ahead fellas👍🏻🤝
I was a part of 2/69AR 3 BDE 3ID US Army. We were a part of the Armies Invasion force in 2003.
Fuck yea brother thank you for your service
Thank you
Thanks for your service and sacrifices and those of your brother in arms
Huge respect to you. I'm thinking of joining the army (British Army) after College. Any tips for me?
When I was in middle school my brother deployed in 2003, he was attached to the 3rd ID. I wanted to be in the 3rd ID because of him. When I was finally old enough he convinced me to join the ADA, I think he just wanted me as far away from 11B as possible 😂
Maybe i should watch Generation Kill again
The yearly rewatch is coming up
What is it streaming on right now?
@@jaythemachine3845 Same as always. HBO/MAX
Great series and doesn’t shy away how much of a clusterfuck Iraq and war in general is.
Why do I feel nostalgia for something I wasn't a part of watching this? Lmao
Wild. The exact thought ran through my head. I said aloud, "nostalgia for days I never lived." This is beautiful photography.
Maybe in the later life
The word is, anemoia
raw, young, unscripted and amateur. could of been any one of us. that's why.
I was JUST about to comment this!!! THANK YOU
When I was kid these troops looked mature, now after 20 years, when I see this footage, I see kids...
RIP to everyone who died in this war.
Yes, I mean everyone, US Marines, US Army, Iraqi soldiers, Iraqi rebels (aka former civilians).
Only reasonable take. All sides in war are victims, anyone who glorifies the killing of any side you know has not grown up, regardless of their physical age...
Thanks for getting it man, we were not thrown away on you in my eyes. I hate what I have done, and what I did it for after seeing our recent actions abroad. Don't let your kids get eaten by the machine.
"War does not determine who is right - only who is left."
-Bertrand Russell
I pray for every family that has lost a loved one to the horrors of war, no matter which side they fought on. Those were human beings, and they had families. They fought for what they believed was right, they made the ultimate sacrifice, and it doesn't matter whether their cause was just or not, they were simply pawns in a chess game played by people in offices.
Yes, I'm American. I know my country has done atrocious things in the name of war, and too many of my countrymen have given their lives to serve a master that does not care about them. I have 2 grandfathers that served in WWII, and not once have I ever heard them say "Boy, I'm glad I fought in that war, all of my dead friends would be happy not seeing their families as long as we won"
@@CSestp There are many of us who appreciate your sacrifice and your service. I will never throw away anyone in your position. I respect you just as much as i respect my grandfathers. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
@@AthelstanKing The myth of Soldiers being victims is absolute silliness. Take action. Fight your oppression. Don’t just go along with it and count your lucky stars that you were on the side that wrote the book. Whether it was the “law” or not, YOU are responsible for your actions. If you did it, then that is something YOU did, not something someone MADE YOU DO.
If someone forces you or tricks you into doing something, you still did it. You failed to live by your own principles and lived for someone else. When you act for someone else, you are COMPLETELY responsible. Displacing that responsibility onto a “leader” is the greatest source of human shame and misery.

There are people who served in the GWOT who were born after 9/11. That always boggles my mind.
Math is hard.
There are people born after 9/11 that have a wife, kids, and a mortgage. Time goes on whether we're paying attention or not, use yours wisely!

Have any of you fine Army folk that were in Baghdad in 2003 served w/ a Rachel Bosveld? She was my cousin, she was w/ the 527th or 524th MP group, I cannot remember off hand. I ask bc she passed away during a mortar attack and i would love to see any photos or videos any of you might have w/ her, if possible. Thank you!

I wish you the best luck finding video of your cousin. The video is only Marines. 3rd Bn 7th Marines India co.
@@robot4924 I understand, I was just curious if different branches might’ve met each other out there and have any memories to share. Her loss changed her dad, my uncle in a big way and thought it would be awesome to have any new photos or videos to share w/ him.
Such a shame that we send our women to war.
And 20 years later, it's their children's turn to play in the sandbox. You early GWOT veterans led the way for us whom followed, you helped create our doctrine for CQC, you helped keep marines alive with your actions and sacrifices.
Rest easy, veteran; we might not be as numerous but there's still marines that'd go above and beyond for what's right, even at the expense of their own career. We have not forgotten, & when the time came for us to follow in your foorsteps, know that we didn't falter or shake.
Thank you for your service, thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for your stories & welcome home. 2/8th marines and 24MEU remembers your actions and we strive to live with a fraction of the honor, courage & commitment you men embodied. 🫡🦅🌎⚓️

Old soldier from Jan 01 to April 09. I got fucked up in a training incident, and got pushed out the door in a wheelchair, but I'd do it all over again.
I reenlisted so I could go. Would have stop lossed if I hadn't, but I didn't know that. The thought of my guys deploying and me not was just unthinkable.
We may not be the Greatest Generation, but we were the generation willing to volunteer.
Good luck finding that again.
The military of the "Greatest Generation" that fought in WW2 was made up of 25% volunteers and 75% draftees. The military who fought in Vietnam were 25% draftees and 75% volunteers. The GWOT was and still has been fought with 100% volunteers. The propaganda the media feeds us needs to be taken with a huge helping of salt.
Correct, not the greatest generation, definitely the Last Generation though. No one is coming to save us from ourselves this time.
Unfortunately for Israel, the American youth today knows better than to sign up for another Forever War on the other side of the planet.
Hard to believe it was over 20 years ago.
MARINES are a different breed.
God Bless them.
Growing up these people were my heros. Stil are. Even after joining i feel like im in the shadow of giants. I feel like i don't deserve to call myself a veteran. How can I even try to compare myself to these people. God bless them. All of them.
thank you for your service ❤
You deserve it bro!

I def feel the same too. 2017-2021. Starting medical school in a couple months, hopefully go back in as a doctor

Wonder why 🙄
Dude!, such a good vid, you deserve more views!!
I was there. Task Force Viking. Army 10th Mountain Division 2-14 Infantry. First American troops in Mosul.
I invaded Iraq with an M240B and a Land Rover technical. Took anti-aircraft fire on the C130 in from Romania. Wild times in a Biblical land.
"I invaded a country for no reason"
Interesting that people say this like they are proud.
@@Chris-fn4dfit’s clear you weren’t around back then.
I joined the Army Infantry after 9/11. I wanted to do all I could to prevent attacks like that from ever happening again. Uncle Sam said Iraq was a threat so we invaded - hard. Back then we trusted our government. The moment I found zero weapons of mass destruction is when I realized monsters ruled the world.
I never fired a shot. Didn’t need to because the Republican Guard literally deserted and months later became the insurgency. I was on the front lines in Baghdad in ‘03 ‘04 & ‘05 and I didn’t shoot once. Mostly because I was a Recon troop and we were fighting ghosts, but also because I understood we were warring in someone’s neighborhood. Tried to win hearts and minds. I wanted zero regrets and I have none.
Tour one, after we invaded, I was smoking cherry flavored hookahs with elders. M4 in one hand and tea in the other. Our early convoys were like parades and smiles. I’ve had half of a dozen Muslim fathers walk up to me on the street at a safe house, with their daughters in their best dresses, formally asking me to marry their daughter and bring her back to the US.
The locals loved us for about a month in Baghdad and then Bush broke up the Ba’ath Party, all hope was lost, and we were caught in the greatest urban conflict in human history. It sucked.
Once you gain some wisdom, you’ll begin to understand nuance, and how you should have kept your mouth shut when you were younger…
@@Chris-fn4dfyou act like the troops fighting are the ones who make the call on if we’re going to invade or not. You’re a coward who has NO idea what you’re talking about! I’m a vet and i have respect for all enemies we’ve ever fought against in US history because of the terror both sides went thru. Stick to your fantasy of thinking you know everything
@@Chris-fn4df Eh, Chemical weapons are weapons of mass destruction, So technically they did find them.
@@rc123theycallme this is surely fan fiction.
OMG! I caught myself in this footage! I was 3rd Marines! I'm the guy in the camo Mopp suit, holding the 16, with short hair, clean shaven!
WHOA REALLY???😃
At 2:52?
Thank you for your service.
3:37?
No moustache? Must not have been married...
I was there in 03 with the Army's 3rd ID. Spearhead baby!!!
my dad was a gunny in desert storm, came home to watch me be born in july of 2003 and the next month in august flew back out, loving seeing vids like this and learning about what my dad went through
such a great video. So much unseen footage.
3rd LAR BN/1st MarDiv. Thanks for sharing this! Semper Fi
I love this friggin video dude Perfect Song too
Beautiful video
I was an AAV crew chief attached to K 3/7 for the invasion. I recognized a few guys and quite a few places. I would love to see more footage from 3/7.
Thank you for your service
There is some out there. Seems like RUclips pulls it tho because some of my saved videos are just gone. Thank you for your times fine driving. It was a long push, I road in “Slam PiG” with India. Most of this video looks like India 3/7 saw myself a few times. How time flys.
That's awesome, I think Garcia was the crew chief on "Slam Pig". I was on the "Lost Kause", dam trac was always breaking down.
Idk if its just nostalgia but something about the desert helmets with the woodland camo just looks so cool
I can still smell that place. ugh.
We called it “aromatherapy “.
Can’t believe it’s been 21 years. 6th Motor T Bn, attached to 1st TSG, 1st MEF.
All these guys are still my Brothers, age, distance, conflict are no match for the camaraderie and experience shared. My their God's have mercy for all their souls.
I was there with 551st MP Co part of the 101st we also supported 1st MEU and MARCENT...one of the few that has a Marine Corps combat patch
Idk if it happened or not, but I hope all these guys got to go home and live happy lives. The Iraq War wasn't their idea
Damn. Can’t believe I was there to be a part of that, time flies. Semper Fidelis. OIF X2 (FMF) Doc. Rah’, get some.
I was there in 2003 fighting alongside my American colleagues 🇬🇧
Thank you for your service
Way better than GK ending! Thank you for your service, brothers! Respect from Romania!
As yesterdays memories are now over 20 years ago, i find much more joy in watching these videos than combat footage. Maybe it's the fact that life seemed so simple back then, for so many reasons. It was raw, it was fun, it was depressing, it was tragic, it was the greatest time of my life.
This is so well made , so well fitting ..
I'm so use to the song being in Dawn Of The Dawn, it's giving me weird nostalgic memories
This is a perfect song for your old memories
Was there in RCT 1. Was pretty rad.

Who is here because of the latest episode of Generation Kill 😌?
Don't forget all you learned. I was in 91 to 99, you will need the knowledge in the near future. God love and God bless. I will protect you if we cross paths. So help me god.
Anyone here in a tank crewman back then, my dad was one but he doesn’t like to talk about it and I’m goin to see him for the first time in awhile and I wanna learn more about everything. Only thing I remembered was him saying he was in view of the villa uday and his brother were at when it got hit. Boyce wayn Williams ring a bell, I know it’s a long shot
My History teacher was apart of the 2003 Iraq Invasion 🇺🇸
As a sailor separating after a 6 year stint, I never saw the horrors that was war. I hope all my friends who stay in stay safe. No matter what, you can never take away the experiences, the camaraderie, or the bullshit we all went through.
Can’t believe it’s been over 20 years.
Semper fi 🔱
I remember the morning of 9/11, my 10th grade high school teacher was crying saying that the country will go to war, and it will be my generation that goes to fight. Well she was right. Ill hit my 20 year mark and retire in a few more months.
Note the 'Nam era (or just after) USMC hardware still in use: the CH46, Iroquios and Hueycobra choppers and LVTP7s, not to mention the long-barrelled M16A2 rifles.
Those days defined our lives bros… so many emotions we were sooo young we had no choice but to grow up… sappers forward OIF/OEF
Iraq War was such an aesthetic. Godbless the Corps, Godbless the veterans
And godbless nirvana and metallica… the official music of operation enduring freedom
What a stupid statement.

And Goddamn the Feds for lying
I feel so sorry for you for making such a bad comment.

Semper Fi!
I was told “on every objective level” we are better now than we were in the 2000s as a military. Would love to hear your thoughts on us now vs let’s say 2002-2009
Not every level, but our contemporary military would absolutely win against 2003. Better generals, experienced SF, adequate equipment to deal with the insurgency, etc. We definitely don't have the money to nation-build like we did have then.
but still suck in ukraine@@geridamas935
If you think the Marine Corps is "the man" in this song, you may wish you were never born when The Man comes around.
I think the reason they put this song in is because war is a place where people die, and so everyone dying in the war is going to have to answer for what he's done, good or bad, when he sits below the throne of judgment. But it's easy to see how a nonreligious person could confuse it some.
I felt chills and goosebumps that entire video...
God bless our Active Military, Veterans, our Allied Forces that fought beside ours like family and especially the heroes that didn't come home. I wont say "Thank You" but know that I mean it with respect, I acknowledge you. Your service and sacrifices are not lost on me. You are loved and appreciated, and *You Are NEVER FORGOTTEN* 💜
The Marpat with the m81 is a vibe and the weird name tapes
I was trained by the 2003 guys left at 2011 I really miss my friends
FIREEEE
I remember the taste and smell of battle, and ever since I have begged God for some excitement half as awesome as combat. I went back as a civilian but never quite got what I wanted, now I'm too old to expect that taste again
SEMPER FI !!!
Towers came down, hand went up, off we went, not all returned. 123RD MSB, 1AD.
I was born in the year and day that the Iraq war started, sort of messes with my head about it sometimes
I’d give anything to be back in time with my friends again
Be safe y’all

I have stood as a conquerer over the ruins of Babylon.
It is sad that so much blood and treasure must be spent. Anyone who believes it must not, will be sadder still.
Such a good song
For many of these war things, I feel a lot of nostalgia for something I would not even be born for almost 10 years after the fact. I'm 13, and yet i somehow feel like I was there in a past life or something. By god have my dreams of it been horrible, and I expect it was a hundred times worse in reality. I saw this on a completely unrelated video, but "we made it back lads, let us drink for those who did not."
We were all in the middle east. Some had it worse.
This is from Generation Kil I believe. Watch it. It’s amazing
I miss 2003, I was still a kid both my parents were still in.
Everything felt different.
Dads gone now, and everythings is different.
Maybe the real WMDs were the friends we made along the way.
Never should have been there.
I was really young when we invaded, my friends and I used to idolize the marines and the soldiers who fought. We all wanted to join when we got older. Now I just look back in sadness, it was just another pointless war and we all 'grew up' to see how awful the military has become.
