Afghanistan was my first foreign deployment. I was a 19 years old Marder gunner and to be honest I was really scared. But after two weeks I got used to the routine at the base. After that first deployment (4 months) I had 6 more. Seeing all of that in a video somehow gives me a strange feeling, but at the same time a nice feeling. It's really strange! But the worst thing is that it was all for nothing….
We fought for the civilians who never had the choice of fighting; because this 18 year old farm boy & millions like him wanted to save the world, *at any cost*
It is something. I was born 2001 in Jan and through 18yrs I joined the marine corps. Well finally 2021 and I happened to be apart of CLB 24 and throughout my MEU going place to place got put into Afghanistan and evacuating people out. Was really something to think of afterwards of being there at the end of it all
born 2002, this war started existed longer than my childhood and its been 3 years since it ended, im glad its over for us, and this isnt the write words but idk how else to put it, that era is nostalgic almost
I grew up hearing about this war so much. It's both a relief that no more blood shall be shed over those cursed mountains. But it's.... also kind of offputting. Like a deafening silence. May we remember those killed in Afghanistan, on both sides, not as soldiers... but as humans. People. Nobody deserves to die. Also: how long until *this* Afghanistan video gets flagged for being "too realistic" as well? lmfao
the feels bro. Very well done with the camera angles and audio. The overall feeling I got from this video was...stagnation/exhaustion. Going in full of vengeance only to then lapse into a long campaign of taking out abstract targets that are "over there" day in and day out, the same exact thing over and over and over again. Taking sporadic fire and calling in air support, overwhelming firepower brought to bare on some building or a swath of dirt, only for the same thing to repeat itself again and again, with the only reprieve being the pull out, tired and exhausted from 20 years of of fighting.
My Father was stationed at Kandahar Air Base in 2012 during his second Afghan tour. One night, someone blew themselves up outside the wire and my Dad found a charred thumb on the bonnet of his Land Rover the next day. He had to wait for the MPs to come and collect it. That was his most surreal experience out there, well apart from the Camel Spider that was hiding under his helmet.
Or probably operation Halmazag, where 2 Marders were targeted by IEDs. In the Good Friday battle, only one MRAP Dingo vehicle was destroyed by explosives.
Cause despite being there for 2 decades we have nothing to show for it besides thousands of dead service members and the suffering left on the ones who survived.
For 20 years the war was fought, but in the end was it all worth it? Reminds me, should listen to Far Afghanistan again, haven't listened to that in a while.
"imagine being in state of war" They weren't, the last time the US actually declared war was in WWII. "after 20 years departing with failure" Because the actual Afghani people couldn't be stuffed, there was no plan to ever actually "win".
@@cideltacommand7169 "And they are still like We can easily win against the federation" Because they would, the US military (as with most militaries) are structured in a manner to fight peer adversaries not insurgents or guerrillas which are inherently harder to win against. This is why they had 0 issues with the actual Iraqi military in the gulf war. Point of fact even Russia hasn't been able to stop it even after decades as noted by what happened recently.
Suggestion: you can thry the game called "Apache: air assault" for the helicopter takes. The game is made by Gaijin and have infantry, I think that might be more realistic
How many lives wasted was not our problem Europe should have told the USA (it doesn't affect us do your job) Europe had nothing to do with it people from Europe died for the USA all because we got involved if you are an American or some of those who complain about what I write well I tell you one thing look and see the dead was it worth it? no the Americans always having to stick their noses in where it doesn't concern you
@@xix_ih9429 huge difference between losing and pulling out. Dont get me wrong, I can agree that we pulled out HORRIBLY thanks to our potato president, biden. But, we only lost 7,000 men whilst 53,000 opposition forces were lost, thats called a victory. Also pointing out, we won a while ago, we were just holding different areas of Afghanistan to make sure the dipshits didn’t keep on murdering women for showing their hair. We also won every battle we went through. Another thing to point out, Afghanistan is in complete shambles right now. Hoorah baby
@xix_ih9429 the afghans lost, not us In 20 years of fighting the U.S. lost less than 2,000 troops, only when we withdrew did the taliban actually take over
И близко не стоит! Советские ушли да,но они оставили после себя еще и больницы и школы которые построили. Американцы оставили после себя только кровь и смерть. Бросили кучу оружия. Позорное бегство + страшные кадры падения беженцев с шасси взлетающего самолета.
@@VRIOSamus bro what are you talking about, the soviets left afghanistan way worse than it was, they killed 2 million civilians and achieved nothing the US actually won in afghanistan, the US completed every objective within the first 2 months. they stayed there so long not because they were losing, rather to keep the situation under control the taliban only came out of their holes AFTER the US pulled out
its crazy that it all happened in my lifespan and now was 3 years ago...
