    The acting and the fake gun sound overlays sure are something else in this documentary. They make every gun , that isn't actual footage, sound like a peashooter. The Barrett scene is particularly funny.

    My dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam. Funny how similar the roles are, even though one was a desert and one was a jungle.

      Saddam did use chemical weapons on villages. But because of American media. They knew we were going to invade Iraq. And then t gave Saddam plenty of time to move those chemical weapons, or sell them without us knowing. It would be easy to hide chemical weapons. There’s plenty of dessert in Iraq. All they had to do was take small truck loads in hundreds of different directions and bury them. We were monitoring large movements of trucks, and military forces. Not smaller groups. Over the years we have found weapons all over Iraq. Small caches of chemical weapons. All over Iraq in underground areas the U.S. never knew existed until they were found.

    The day before the 101st Airbourne were supposed to take off from Turkey Airbases, i was shown on a early map, the Turks changed their mind, thats why if you look at the war map we only came from the south, we didn't have assets in the North but ones that were there before the war, I was told they spent 24 hours painting Humvees into Red Cross vehicles to get over the border...the enemy saw that , insurgents started pour over the Syrian border...we had no operation control in the North, we just had the Kurds, that why it was called Operation Northern "Delay "which occurred on 26 March 2003 ,It involved dropping 1,000 paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade into Northern Iraq.

    Green beret or Rangers who's the elite are they around tier 2. Not from the USA from Scotland ,i love the ballad ,the Royal Marines and the Parachute Regiment are they around the same tier .

    • @Zamotak
      @Zamotak 4 часа назад

      The tier system isint really an official thing. But green berets and rangers would be considered "tier 2". The mission sets are different. Green berets a highly skilled in Forgien internal Defense or teaching gureillas or fighters In different countries how to wage unconventional warfare. They are also highly skilled in direct action raids. There bread and butter is small 12 man teams called ODAs and they insert themselves with the local indigenous. They all can speak a second language and sometimes multiple languages. The Rangers on the other hand are still part of the U.S Army. They are the U.S Army's premier raid unit. If you need a town/village, airfield, etc taken with absolute speed and violence of action you call the Rangers. They roll in with a large group of Soilders and meet the enemy with complete force. They are kinda like the sledge hammer of the U.S Military.

    2.These young men and women that are in these organizations,many of them are very talented and if they would have done the right things they could have been some of the best fighters and medics rather then doing illegal and morally wrong things

      Meanwhile who is invading their country forcing them to? This is like someone who ab__es their wife saying it's their fault for fighting back. Let's be honest the only reason anyone was there was to line Northrop', Halliburton etc's pockets and the pockets of big oil. We failed to find WMDs (which btw all the news channels went along with) and i extremely doubt these people had what they're accused of having because of the desperate need to justify the invasion. I remain extremely cynical.
