Afghanistan is a frustrating and mentally taxing place for Americans and us Canadians [while we were there] let alone, a frustrating war. these men are stronger than you or I could ever dream of being. their levels of restraint are at the very least, legendary.
A little bit of context : After D-Day and the few years of the vietnam war, the US military realized that most soldiers did not use their weapons at all, and that most of those who did, did not aim to kill. This was considered a problem, and to adress this issue, the US military devised a doctrine called "zone fire" which encouraged soldiers to shoot in the general direction of the threat, in order to deshinibit the use of weapons. Takeaway 1 : there was a time americans were shy about using their guns. Takeaway 2 : there was an american doctrine telling the soldiers to do sort of what the afghans do.

@LogicalSense there is no difference between the corrupt Afghan government and the honest Talibans. There is nothing that these unmotivated Afghans are doing to help their people...
When I was in college 2011, there was a veteran in my class. For whatever reason, he agreed to answer questions about his time. I asked him "Do you think that any of our efforts will last when we leave". He said "no I don't think they will" and the whole class went silent. Looking back I regret asking such a pointed question but it taught us the truth about these conflicts. Needless to say, I was not surprised when the government collapsed.
He probably believed that even if his efforts in Afghanistan were in vain he could help some people at home understand so they wouldn't send someone else to suffer like he did.
It may have been a pointed question but it was a necessary one, you had the guts to ask the right question so to speak. I was with 9th ESB in 2011 when they made improvements to a road near Marjah and we lost a few people because of it; I wasn't directly involved with improvements but I was supporting from nearby FOBs. I talked to an infantryman around 2015 and he said that it became so filled with IED's that they had to destroy it on their way out which essentially made the whole operation pointless in the end. We knew this was likely to happen back then but we had to grin and bear it because "hearts and minds" and the leadership wanted their medals.

@Hue Wong No it's not. Go read ISIS propaganda magazine that they made public to everyone. They gave 10 reasons we will hate and kill you. Number #1 was (I'm paraphrasing): "Understand that no matter what you do we always have and always will hate you. We will always seek to kill you because it is His will to kill all non-believers. There is nothing you can do to change this."
This is what nearly 20 years of wars does to a country. Most of the national army of Afghanistan looked 20-30 years old. They probably never even went to school cause during war nobody goes to school of other things that we do.
@@kzap70 Actually, Afghanistan has an illiteracy rate of 80-90% because of its extreme poverty, which is largely due to foreign relations with Pakistan (Pak and Taliban keep AFG poor so AFG has no choice but to rely on marijuana and opium as its major productions, of which the Taliban and Paki government reap all the reward).... The nomadic nature of much of its people also complicates things, and the radical islam mixed with a constant warring atmosphere since 1979 hinders overall education as well. Afghanistan was actually doing quite well for itself, culturally and economically speaking, up until the mid-1970's, when radical Islam and the Soviet Union both thought they should have Afghanistan... Ultimately, the US saw the Soviet-Afghan thing as a good way to totally fuck the USSR, and made a bad choice to side with radical Islam to "aid them in their struggle against Communism".... Admittedly, the radicals back then weren't as radical as they are now (or when we respectively took them out, etc), but it was still a not-great idea... Anyway, Afghanistan due to these factors has devolved to the state seen in this video, and it's kind of disgusting... In fact, according to locals, it's absolutely no different than under Taliban rule, once the Americans aren't watching... Life under the ANA/ANP/etc. is just like under the Taliban, except they're called the "Afghan National Police" and etc. now... Oh also, when that PB just walks off a day or two later and is never seen again? Yeah, that's stupid common with the native forces... They'll come in, they won't like someone or something, and they'll just fuck off out to nowhere, usually with their gear.... And you see how they took the barricade down and sold the motherfucker? Yeah, they do that shit all the time, too; absolutely no foresight. Either that, or they know they won't put up any sort of resistance, and instead just want the money for hash, opium, and pot seeds.....
This video shows exactly the reason why we left Afghanistan after twenty year's being there , you can not change a people's culture ,or the mentality of a people that don't want to change it themselves , We were shooting ourselves in the foot ,, Great video !
@@KLienne I'm not American but honestly obvious I know it's not the main cause but with the military leaving Afghanistan it shows that no one lives well there I honestly don't know why they went apart from looking for Osama but I think they tried to make things better create schools the majority of children in afghanistan don't read why according to the leaders they go against their religions that you'd rather they tried or they live forever in ignorance
Remember, this is made for 'TV' meaning they can easily pick out the few that give the audience a reaction... Not saying they aren't like this and improvements are needed, but I'd hope not all are immature acting like this(specifically that dude who goes with the machine gun firing wasting ammo just to despise the orders to conserve ammo).
And don't forget the guy who is the anti-Mr Rogers, raping all the boys in the neighborhood. Years from now all this stuff will be more common knowledge. What a disgrace.

You are not from and were not born in an insurgency affected region.All your families are safe at home watching tv.Thats not the same case for them.It will take time for the people to fight back.10 years is not a long time.
We should've just let the Taliban take over again and leave. To me it always felt like they have the more coordinated forces and government to control and rebuilt such a giant country.

"Remember when we supported the Muj's against the Russians, and we left all those weapons there and we spent years and millions of dollars getting those weapons, particularly the Stinger Missiles back, we're not making the same mistake again" 2021: Lol......
The US didn't leave SAMs this time (there being no reason to do so) and the rest of the gear is obsolete like HMMWV junk light trucks. It has symbolism to Bubba but the US has no need for that gear which is why it got FMSed in the first place. JLTV is the replacement for HMMWV and remedies the faults of a weak NATO liaison vehicle never intended for direct combat and very bad at surviving attack (as demonstrated from Mogadishu to present day).. I actually DO remember and have studied both wars. Operation Cyclone was a bargain against the Soviet Union and carried out by competent operatives. What should never have happened is "nation building" which is a direct assault on local culture hence doomed to failure.
As a Korean who has a military alliance with the United States and as a teenager who wants to become a soldier I feel like I know a little bit about the suffering of US veterans. in communication with allied I hope that the Korean and US forces cooperate well without this happening in a real war situation. and thank you to the USFK soldiers who fight for peace together with the Korean military "we go together" 🇰🇷🇺🇲
This is frustrating to watch. I can only imagine how frustrated the US soldiers felt trying to help them but all they rather do is goof off and do drugs.
15:12 - "We are not making that same mistake again." True ... in an way, this time the "mistake" was much worse, leaving helicopters, attack aircraft, thousand of modern fire arms back.
I too had to pause and rewind that part....what a joke....also astonishing to see the total ineptitude of the Afghans.....just itching to fire off precious finite ammunition in the distance just to feel they are shooting at 'something' . Like trying to train a bunch of delinquent kids.... no wonder the Afghan Army gave up in days....the US govt should have seen this coming and bailed out years ago....what a massive waste of US taxpayer dollars. Now China will walk in and plunder their resources.
@@gilmoe73 This is what continuous opium usage do. Same way the whole Chinese population was complete useless in 19th century as they were all high on opium.
The Afgan police are like children. No descipline,smokes pot. Tell them to shave and cut their hair. it's useless. How about getting Afgans from other regions who are more disciplined? No wonder Bush went to Iraq in a hurry. This show is all about how bullshit the Afgans are. What a mess. Obama is saying let's move the Americans out? Then why did you go there in the first place? Mission accomplished? Then you attacked Iraq and Libya then Syria? Just to destroy their civilization then leave like what you did in Vietnam? Why? Can you please stop acting as police of the world. Fix America first instead of destroying infrastructue in other countries. Now Obama wants war to explode in the China Sea between the Phil and China. Just leave them alone please and enough of these wars. Let these countries mend their own problems. You have your own problems in the US like drugs, gangs, criminalities and your prisons are full. Solve your internal problems before trying to teach other countries how to solve theirs.
@@TheShiz9797 Wrong. Most of the Taliban and ISIS have extensive military training dating back 30+ years. Videos are all over the place, of them tactically taking out ASF and Northern Alliance. As lolwtfbbq said they wouldnt last a day.........and didnt. Once the US Military withdrew shortly after this, ISIS steamrolled the ASF, to the point where they literally threw down their weapons and fled. Compared to most civilized armies, ISIS and Taliban pose little threat to an AC-130 or Apache. But they strike fear into the defenseless locals, who barely know how to use their weapons effectively.
Because the us are most trustfull people on the world... Peace everywhere... Yes. Fuck and death to the USA from europe, slowly we are becoming independant from shit US, have our own army and without our support you are nothing, Europe isn t your dog anymore, Russia and China are increasing, alone you won t do anything.
The Afghan army has to be the biggest embarrassment the world military wise has ever seen like no wonder the taliban has gotten so far it’s because there to dependent on American forces Edit:and look what happened,taliban took Afghanistan in less than a week which proves my point
these dudes are the National Police, "The Blues" or Blue Backs - the ANP. The ANA are the army and they wear a goofy camo pattern. They are more disciplined.
id say the ancient rome with swords and catapults can beat them if everyone of their army act like that, but that is just the police, i hope their are more disciplined

I'm no fan of NATO or the US army but for sure the guy that said that is worthy of respect. You could tell he had a good heart, and a manly one at that.
Why would we train a force to defend themselves theoretically thinking it’s make it okay for us to pull out so we stop losing friends. maybe it’s only logic if you haven’t been there
But there's not much profit in education or adult education, and it takes more than half an election cycle, so the incentive isn't there on the corporate side or the political side.
Washington is what failure looks like. Biden is what failure looks like. Capitol Hill is what failure looks like. Repeating the same mistakes as another failed war -- Vietnam.
All of them are a bunch of jokes I bet the marines are acting like they aren’t bothered but in reality they are pissed because they are defending a country that isn’t trying to defend itself.
They’re really upset he’s telling them to quit eating, showering and shitting in the same place. They wouldn’t have said anything if it wasn’t a problem. Literally tearing down security walls to sell as scrap metal, that’s insane.
Kodi Harvill with my time over there, I can honestly say we didn’t give a rats ass about these fucking people. We wanted to go the fuck home without an article 15 or NJP So we just did what we were told. These dudes all could have dropped dead and we wouldn’t have given it a second thought.
all the education didn't help the US populace figure that their politicians were taking them for a ride, dividing them and selling them down the river.
@Transitive Wisdom Here's the facts. Trump cut a deal with the Taliban and promised to pull out by May 21 and Biden executed. The withdrawal was botched by Biden. There is no way of knowing what Trump would have done...he's not around is he?
Its like these US Soldiers are teleported to some pre-historic time and do their best to teach caveman how to defend their people against dinosaurs and other predators.
A B Keep in mind you guys used to associate these guys as your “allies” aka the Taliban when fighting the Soviet Union. Instead of calling Afghanistan backwards. You should look at what you guys did by putting these “fanatics” in charge of Afghanistan after defeating the Soviet Union.
second time watching this. the emotions are unlike anything a movie can squeeze into 120 minutes. so visceral, had no idea of the transfer of power/control from PBs to Afghan Forces until the first watch. the patience in these marine's voices is crushing
Damn man, the Marines look so frustrated, I feel bad for them, having to go so far away from home to fight terrorists, but to no avail. Theirs looks like a lost cause ☹
"And we spend years and millions of dollars getting those weapons back. We´re not making that same mistake again." Jeah.. you did. But not for those guys.
This really shows that these US armies are well trained because if i got deployed there atleast 15 afghans would die in the first 1 hour of training. Their patience is incredible
Someone oughta read that PB commander Sun Tzu's Art of War. If a commander refuses to carry out his general's orders, or if he is incapable of commanding his troops: He gets his fucking head taken and he's replaced with the next unlucky fuck.
WelfareChrist yeah but if we leave them, the thing they are fighting against will win and lose a huge threat to every major country in the world having power and committing even more devastating terrorist acts
Part of my point was that the reason they are committing these acts of terror is because we are there in the first place, but looking back at the comment I guess I didn’t make that clear, suppose because I figured it was obvious which it is not.
That's not completely true. Osama bin laden literally said that 911 was a response to the presence of our bases in Israel and the middle east. Also wouldn't u want revenge on a country that dropped bombs s which inadvertently killed your family? It's not the whole reason but the idea that they just kill whoever's doesn't believe is bull, they tell u their reasons all the time we just don't listen.
We have a responsibility to take in refugees from those places which were destabilized by our reckless and short sighted foreign policy. Not a single act of terrorism in this country has ever been committed by a middle eastern refugee that we’ve taken in. We already vet them exhaustively.
This is so frustrating to watch.. Imagine undergoint bootcamp, years of training, watching friends die, missing your family.. Then getting the task to guide this bunch.. Lots of camels were swallowed I'm sure, no pun intended..
There is a saying in our country, it goes something like "(In most cases) the people's suffering is deserved based on their belief." You just can't help someone that is not willing to get help. And in most conflicts u have to realise the ones fighting the evil might just be as evil as the opponent, it's just that they happen to land on different sides, that's all, it's not always about a better future or human rights.
This has a terrible and special significance today, perhaps moreso than any other day. We should've learned these lessons by 2006. At least by 2011. You can't bring liberal, secular democracy to people who don't want it and can't function under it.
Did you not watch the video? The US soldier just said that the Afghan army are pedos and are immoral etc. So clearly the government was bad and the Taliban were welcomed for a reason, the same way they were welcomed into Kabul on 15 August 2021

@Hue Wong No it's not. Go read ISIS propaganda magazine that they made public to everyone. They gave 10 reasons we will hate and kill you.
Number #1 was (I'm paraphrasing): "Understand that no matter what you do we always have and always will hate you. We will always seek to kill you because it is His will to kill all non-believers. There is nothing you can do to change this."
No wonder Taliban is walking all over so-called Afghan National Army. Just look at them. Jeez.
They are all coked up out of their mind.
At 29min you work with that guy by taking him out the back and put a bullet through him.
This is what nearly 20 years of wars does to a country. Most of the national army of Afghanistan looked 20-30 years old. They probably never even went to school cause during war nobody goes to school of other things that we do.
no doubt...inbread fucktards
@@kzap70 Actually, Afghanistan has an illiteracy rate of 80-90% because of its extreme poverty, which is largely due to foreign relations with Pakistan (Pak and Taliban keep AFG poor so AFG has no choice but to rely on marijuana and opium as its major productions, of which the Taliban and Paki government reap all the reward).... The nomadic nature of much of its people also complicates things, and the radical islam mixed with a constant warring atmosphere since 1979 hinders overall education as well.
Afghanistan was actually doing quite well for itself, culturally and economically speaking, up until the mid-1970's, when radical Islam and the Soviet Union both thought they should have Afghanistan... Ultimately, the US saw the Soviet-Afghan thing as a good way to totally fuck the USSR, and made a bad choice to side with radical Islam to "aid them in their struggle against Communism".... Admittedly, the radicals back then weren't as radical as they are now (or when we respectively took them out, etc), but it was still a not-great idea...
Anyway, Afghanistan due to these factors has devolved to the state seen in this video, and it's kind of disgusting... In fact, according to locals, it's absolutely no different than under Taliban rule, once the Americans aren't watching... Life under the ANA/ANP/etc. is just like under the Taliban, except they're called the "Afghan National Police" and etc. now...
Oh also, when that PB just walks off a day or two later and is never seen again? Yeah, that's stupid common with the native forces... They'll come in, they won't like someone or something, and they'll just fuck off out to nowhere, usually with their gear.... And you see how they took the barricade down and sold the motherfucker? Yeah, they do that shit all the time, too; absolutely no foresight. Either that, or they know they won't put up any sort of resistance, and instead just want the money for hash, opium, and pot seeds.....
This video shows exactly the reason why we left Afghanistan after twenty year's being there , you can not change a people's culture ,or the mentality of a people that don't want to change it themselves , We were shooting ourselves in the foot ,, Great video !

I was litereally at this part came to the comments to type it and saw this, Too funny hearing it at the time
The US didn't leave SAMs this time (there being no reason to do so) and the rest of the gear is obsolete like HMMWV junk light trucks. It has symbolism to Bubba but the US has no need for that gear which is why it got FMSed in the first place. JLTV is the replacement for HMMWV and remedies the faults of a weak NATO liaison vehicle never intended for direct combat and very bad at surviving attack (as demonstrated from Mogadishu to present day).. I actually DO remember and have studied both wars. Operation Cyclone was a bargain against the Soviet Union and carried out by competent operatives. What should never have happened is "nation building" which is a direct assault on local culture hence doomed to failure.

Did you not watch the video? The US soldier just said that the Afghan army are pedos and are immoral etc. So clearly the government was bad and the Taliban were welcomed for a reason, the same way they were welcomed into Kabul on 15 August 2021
@@ismail_2967 I don’t think you fully understood my reply. I was reinforcing the message. I was a US Soldier who came to realize these things years ago.
@@militustoica ah well I apologise for misunderstanding, and in that sense I do agree that a lawless land where people are used to death and corruption cannot just adopt democracy and freedom of speech etc the very next day. Besides I don’t think we as the west should’ve even gotten involved in Afghanistan. Billions of dollars went into the war (20 years) just for it to be undone in a week. Shameful 😔
@@ismail_2967 it was never about democracy it was about military contracts lol
You can hardly expect them to want it when your air force indiscriminately murders civilians with no repurcussions
The fact that we are literally having to teach them basic hygiene is absolutely ridiculous. The inhabitants of Afghanistan are not willing to fight for their own country so why should we?
We shouldn’t, but someone somewhere is getting paid, so here we are. I don’t like it either
They doesn't care bc it's not their fight, they didn't care about Taliban before America invaded them
Afghans wouldn't really care if Taliban fully takes over, as Taliban number has grown much more now than ever. It was never America's war, but you know, *PROFIT*
I think Trump should just make it part of the USA and get rid of all these idiots
Wrong... They're not willing to fight "against" their country
This aged extremely well.
All those people look like they won't survive hand to hand combat.
I agree, they look just like gamers and american atheists.
fonkymaster never heard that before
@@Milkbutter the fuck?
This is old.
thats why that whole area of the planet only really sees bombs and guerrilla warfare. theyre not soldier types, more like armed farmers.
"He's still a warrior ya know, and he deserves to be treated like one even in death."
The pain in that mans voice, I swear I can feel the pain in his voice when he spoke about that child.
Watching them waste our tax dollars on ammo and weapons is beyond irritating
Martin Rodriquez It's capitalism, someone is cashing in.
Blackworld, yep, that's why they're there. To use, waste, whatever.
Most have heard the saying, "All Wars Are Bankers' Wars"
@@A-rk3dn War in America is part of its capitalism. Wars aren't neccessary started on moral ground. War equals arm sales. Those who sell arms lobby politicians who are willing to start endless wars. It's capitalism, and every country practices a form of it. How many countries are occupied by Russia?
They are more importantly wasting SOILDERS!! To hell with the $ .....what about these MEN!?
+Dominic Challenger I agree
Revisiting this doc after a few years and still wonder what that slow instrumental is at the start
