moral of the story: nothing
Moral of the story: don’t go to far
he was just flexing*
Who gives a shit fuckin a dude you get drunk off a fuckin apple tini
Tell me again why the Americans were in Iraq?
✨ M O N E Y ✨
Because sogoddam insane got too big for his britches, started mouthing off about the USofA, was defiant of UN sanctions and quite honestly forgot who put him into power and why we did so. Fact was Bush sr made a huge mistake when he was left in power after the invasion of Kuwait. That enough reasons for you or should we start talking about the attrocities being committed by he and his sons against their own citizens? That's what we do to sadistic dictators when they stop listening to the most powerful country it's government and it's military. Also remember that it was his own people that tore down every single statue of him.
Corrupt politicians taking advantage of the US’s superior military to profit off of and expand foreign policy.. also Saddam decided to get off the dollar in 2000 and the US typically doesn’t like it when a country does that.. we’ve seen many examples like Gaddafi in Libya..
Same reason China is everywhere
@@DragonNectarI don't see China destroying other countries by dropping bombs on them, decimating the population, stealing resources, etc..
Bro u did not carry a condenser up a ladder. Stop it. I do plumbing / hvac for a living. No chance.
😂😂😂
@@marcusash7 hate to be that guy. But cmon man 😂
@@gamebred88 Nah I agree 😂 I had more to type but I was on my bike at a red light about to turn green😂 you’re not getting a condenser up 30m via a ladder to a diving board like wtf?😂. It’s an insane thing to think is even possible
@@gamebred88 sounds like some shit you hear from a lying ass coworker. “Knocked 3 guys out at the bar with only three punches” type of lie lmao
@@marcusash7 no chance bro. People don’t realize how heavy they are. Most we do is take 4 guys..lift and set it on a 6’ ladder. Then lift it to the platform with all 4 of us 😂 my man said he jus carried up a diving board ladder like a bag of chips 😂😂
Thats some frat boy behavior
Welcome to the military
Military people aren't famous for their intelligence...
30 meters carrying a condenser fan sure sure.
Blackwater are nothing but common mercenaries.
Don't hate, but it was damn good money.
Says the guy who never worked for them.
I think the words you were looking for were "war crimes". BlackWater should never have been allowed to exist.
The US completely circumventing international rules of war, by hiring contractors. They had no real rules, and actually made the situation way worse. Their atrocities swelled the insurgency.
Is there any different type of mercenary?
Contracting makes the world keep spinning
Refrigerant leak. Smart.
Couldn't help yourself 😂
Neither could I.
Who cares global warming is fake and it was in a criminals house
I was with the 10th mountain div in Iraq in 03-04 when we found Sadam. Crazy
Operation Red Dawn C sqn CAG
Yeah sure you were I remember you from the battle of nacho bell grande.
Snuck into that pool in 05 🤣
Didn’t a bunch of those guys get sent to prison?
Black water had quite a few employees at the time, many of whom were totally unrelated to combat and that type of stuff. They had people get convicted of stuff but it was actually a small minority of the company doing bad stuff
How did they drain the Freon when they disconnected the line set also not saying it’s impossible but I do heating and air and use a crane to get units on roofs
Yeah you're DEFINITELY NOT gonna be just carrying a CONDENSER up a damn ladder to a diving board... This guy's story is DEFINITELY a LIE. I heard another my 'military dude' say that a limb could be taken off by 50 caliber round flying centimeters away from said limb... 🤦 WHAT?! 🤣 I mean, they know people are watching these things right?
Ive swam in one of his pools in Al Asad
My unit flew them in. Troop insertion and casevac. 268 Red Dragons. One of my guys has his bedroom door knob.
Blew up 6 palaces in Baghdad...pools were nasty green within the week
But go off on your 150k security gig after
His whole tone and even the way he tells the story is bs. I wonder if these fake guys are pumped out there to make stupid RUclips vids telling bro stories, to generate interest or something.
I was the first one in that pool 😂
Swam in his other pool at Basrah palace, no better feeling diving in when it was 40+°c
Read up one blackwater.
Killers, not soldiers.
Witnessed this amazement
Ahh and what’s was funny about destruction of property?
Because it was Saddam Hussein's property.
Duh
@howtomundane3109 it was the property of the Iraqi state, like the white House belongs to the American state, and not Joe Biden.
Yes. Im sure when they were at normal civilians houses they behaved like absolute gentlemen. How fucked is it that blowing Iraq to pieces when Saddam was an enemy of osama, 10 years later its isis country. America are absolute idiots while simultaneously being a menace to basic humanity
Love how you just guys just disrespected this guys house before his death sentence. Not like he was actually nice and welcoming to us military in his own house, yeah. Nice job. 👍🏻
Killers dont talk , talkers dont kill
The worlds bullies showing their crimes
That pool was great. CTSO 04-07
Hey, it's brad
Legend
Hooligans :)
😂 was you mad he snitched you out?
Your account is about as old as mine, so I'm much more inclined to believe your comment. Not being sarcastic
Private armies. Anyone with a small gray matter knows where it's going.
Gotta have fun init
that what you where doing while i was on a 72hr dismount patrol in iraq 07-09
Is that an Arizona cardinals pin on his hat?
So a bunch of you donuts couldn't get it out of the water because it was too heavy. But apparently one of you carried it up a ladder to a diving board?!?!
Right, makes sense to me.
See now this is a believable story from the military.
Bra that’s so cool n funny what a cool war story bra
you know he peed in their, right.
Their what?
My brother mentioned going to saddam's mansions. Safes inside full of cash. He went at the beginning of Oif doing artillery. My company was at TQ '06 doing route clearance and construction.
What money?…
It was brad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Typical war behavior. Most lose their morals humanity in times of war.
Been there, swam there
why do we respect these guys?
I know right?
why do you follow this channel to post stupid comments. Lame
Because when there are other, much bigger jerks that need to be delt with these specialized jerks are the right tool for the job.
But seriously, after/while doing some of these jobs people need a way to blow off steam. Our regular soldiers barely get any. And these civilian contractors got even less. Its not like anyone really cares about Saddam's pool.
@@inspiraPaz why were they even in Iraq?
@@mayling9799 - Long story short... They were disposable. There was no real reason to have American troops in Iraq.
When soldiers started coming back in body bags support which was almost non-existent began to sink lower. Someone had the bright idea to send in American mercenaries. That way if they get blown up no one would care because before then American mercenaries, also known as PMCs or Private Military Contractors were not known to the public.
It was only after some Blackwater contractors saved American troops who were stranded on the battlefield that people began to care. Shortly after other blackwater troops were tortured and left to die on a bridge and at that point became part of the regular discourse surrounding the war.
I swam there too 😂😂😂 2 diving platforms and 1 diving board
Bird gang
👀
Blackwater hired killers that don't have to ever face what they did I would be ashamed to be on that team worst in the French Foreign Legion
What a putrid story. Laughs after murdering a bloke, jealous of his things , steals a bike , laughs , but beats the shit out of a kid in the street for doing it . Chucks an air conditioning unit in the pool he was jealous of the murdered bloke for having n then sits in front of us all smug , like his best reward was getting to tell this shit story for the camera. Sadaam did nothing too me or anyone I know , y would I want to hear how you tore down his life for, Wasn’t he an American asset before he deciding he wanted French francs instead of US dollars for his oil . This interview is like watching someone spray treachery with gold .
Forever it was Brad
Funny if it was actually toxic acid..lol🇺🇸
Joking about being a mercenary. What a deluded soul.
Wow. These Americans are wild. 🙄
And then they thought it would be a walk in the park for them in Ukraine too
Why?
2pac made a new rap song this year// also in 2020!!!

He’s being honest - I was there

Dumbest story ever. Besides, who’s that destructive for no good reason!

Embarrassing
