+Justin C. Cliburn I cried like a manchild after seeing this video. I am praying my hardest to wish that Ali is growing up in a happy environment. Thank you for sharing your story, sir. And thank you so much for your service.
Justin C. Cliburn No problem sir. Thank you so much for supporting our country! I’m 13 and all I can say is thank you. I’m very sorry you had lost a friend.
@@bishop51807 And half of the supporters of the other side don't understand anything either. Hillary literally broke the law. Every group has dumb people and every group has extremists. Instead of insulting the other side why not try to find a bridge and work together? He is your president and people ranting and raving are the one's creating a divide. Just find a middle group already.
He'd be in his early 20s now. I hope he's okay, and I hope he remembers our times together. But most of all I hope he realizes I had no choice in the decision to leave. I was just an enlisted man and had no power over where the Army sent me and when. But I looked like I had lots of money power to Ali, and I hope he doesn't think I chose to leave him and never come back. I still remember his full name. I hope one day Baghdad is peaceful enough to try and find him.
Holy hell was not expecting to see you here Chugga. But on a serious note this channel really helps you remind us of our humanity and how silly and simple we all are. To you and anyone reading this I wish you well, and ask that you show kindness when you are able.
I feel the same way about a young man I met named Muhammed who helped get a bunch of kids away from my vehicle during a medical mission back in 2003. He spoke only a few words of English and I Arabic, but he was such a good dude. I've shed tears wondering if he's okay. Thanks for sharing this.
Justin Cliburn frequently speaks at Anti-War rallies and talks about the effects of US interference in other countries. He also advocates for proper Veteran care, and calls out politicians who fund wars without paying for mental health care or benefits for veterans when they come home. We all have regrets. This experience obviously had a profound effect on him.
Juli Schäfer it happens because of the human nature. We were surviving because we wnted more more power better technology wich led to wars and other stuff. Humans allways want more thats why communism never worked out because we are not equal we have never been thats why there are people in power that disaded tonattack who want more power and land
I'd imagine he's probably one of the less likely to, seeing as he had a good relationship with an American soldier and lost a friend to terrorism, so it would (hopefully) appeal to him less.
Reminds me of a story my Father-In-Law told me. About a little boy he saw in Korea. He told me he came across the little boy, about 5 years old, naked crying, starving. Holding on to a cob of corn with no corn on it. So ill with dysentery he had part of his colon prolapse. He had nothing to give the child, no food, meds, a blanket. He cried with the memory of it. He told me, "We where there to help them, But I could do nothing for him. I walked away. All I could think about was he was not going to make it threw the night." Almost angrily at me, " Look I need to not think of that, tell any one, I failed." I told him he did not fail, his efforts over there where not forgotten, or in vain. "You may not saved that little child, but you saved many more." I told him. This story is reminds me of Wilfred Ruff. My husband's Father. I don't know why he shared it with me, he did not tell any of his children of it. I shared it with a few of his grown children. It is with tears I share it with all of you. I miss him, for now this story falls only by word of mouth, and what I have written here for all to read.
im so sorry to see the comments directed towards you, you have my utmost respect and admiration for your service in trying to solve a horrible situation, and doing so while still holding onto your humanity. you're an amazing human being and i believe we need more people like you in the world.
Thank you, Justin C. Cliburn, for befriending the children and for your kindness. I support you. It is a noble thing to serve your country. As a fellow enlisted soldier, I can say with certainty that we do not get to choose what or where the missions will be. Thank you for sharing this story.
Jesus this hits you in the feels. once again i shift my perspective on war, not for the first time, but sadly also not for the last time. such is the nature of mankind
This is the saddest story I’ve ever heard. I’ll never understand why wars have to be fought, or why nobody seems to care when a casualty happens during war. I know this story is from 4 years ago, but you are a good man.
I can't even begin to imagine how that was like for you. I haven't really experienced the death of anyone I was that close to. I'm so sorry and I sincerely thank you for what you do. You possess a bravery that I could never hope to match. You are a hero, and you will not be forgotten.
Justin, I know that feeling sir. I was in Africa and met a little boy and girl who were starving and getting cold since it was cooler in the evening where we were at that time of year. I helped them as long as I we were there (about a week). I often think about them and whether or not if they are okay. I think of them often. Its hard not to cry when I think about them. I wish the world were more simple. This is the world we live in.
What a good man to be there for those boys. Even in times of war, there is always a good deed to be done, someone to be uplifted and lives to be changed.
This just hits you when you realize this is real. This is what a little kid had to deal with. This is what so many people overseas have to deal with everyday...
Fly high Ahmed, And I hope somewhere out there you’re okay, Ali. This story truly brought me to tears and I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else, they don’t deserve it,,
I wished more of these stories were made public. I really felt the emotion of humanity and love here. All I see now is negativity brought on by anti-war groups and people who don't understand the complexity of war/politics. They have no care for our troops and what they have gone through. I am very glad I have found this channel. God bless.
Fuck. Hearing the stories is one thing, but hearing the story from the voice of the man who lived it makes it that much more powerful. All this shit I take for granted; being able to walk, going to school, not having to worry about money, being able to see and hear. It's all so beautiful yet they're such small things you don't normally think about. I can't wait to be a marine one day.
A colleague of mine at work, here in Abu Dhabi, is an Iraqi migrant. He finished university, because a group of American GIs he once knew from his neck of the woods, paid for it. I had the privilege of meeting with some of them in-person, when some of them flew all the way here, to attend his wedding back in February 2018. Thanks for sharing. I bet there’s thousands of similar stories. If not more.
Remember my cousin telling me how he went back to Iraq when ISIS was on their offensive and he seen one of the kids from a town he was stationed in previously in a Iraqi army uniform fighting against ISIS….lot of these kids probably did join the army or some organization having grown up in that environent
We as a Country have been blessed to not have to experience this. We don't have war on our soil. I am terribly sorry for your loss and the lack of closure. Thank you for your service.
Sir GentleSir yeah and Russians want to spread communism through blood like in Vietnam, Korea, and Iraq. Muslims want to fly planes into buildings, and Germans want to kill anyone who isn't a blonde haired blue eyed European.
Hold on baby I'm Cummin all of them. the World dont need them. Bad Gen because of incest.... etc Only Oil...when wenn wipe Out Isis the next Islam Shit will rise up
I remember watching this in 7th grade social studies. As a middle schooler, I knew how awful this kind of stuff was, but only to a certain extent. Now I really feel for these people and understand what they have to go through. You really can’t unsee the horrors of war, whether you’re a soldier or a civilian.
You did the best you could, and you are continuing to do the best you can. I'm sorry that there are people who clearly don't see the value your speaking out, and seek to quiet those like you by roughing you up emotionally from behind a screen. There are others who also hate the war who see immense value in your willingness to speak publicly. We are rarely as loud as the Randall Goguen's of the world, but I hope you know we're out here.
I went through this countless times. I was in the second rotation. The kids would not talk to us. I befriended many of them and was rebuked by my buddies...we are just like them. As a Puertorican soldier, Arabic was easy to learn. Aaliyah looked just like me. The pain I felt to see the men working as slaves building for our invasion. The teachers that were left without jobs...We have mand SO MANY mistakes! Thank you for sharing this with me. I have my own Storycorps, and I was honest. What we did was wrong.
It reminds me of the TV series THE LONG ROAD HOME ... It was a bit unpopular few watched it on nat Geo but for me that was heart touching and deserves more attention
I'm so sorry you haven't been able to learn what happened to Ali. Hopefully someday you will, and hopefully it will be good news. I first heard this story with the more extended version in the Storycorps Ties that Bind book and the tragedy of it, especially that unique bond you had to support each other through the loss of Ahmed also now being gone is heartbreaking to me. In any case, thank you for comforting him while you had the ability to.
That very well may have been the same one. The Traffic Police HQ was very close to MOI and FOB Shield. When we were up that way, we'd always pull in and eat lunch at Shield.
"If you've enjoyed watching this video..." Yeah it was really enjoying to watch a video in which this army guy tells about how a kid he kind of cared about got blown up and how he still looks back to this other kid and wonders how he's doing. Best time I had all day.
Oh my gosh I remembered this story from a few years back but it wasn’t until now that I realized it was from StoryCorps. This one is so powerful and sad.
War is like a scary horror (but unfortunately in reality). It is so sad that so many civilians are killed in every war or armed conflict. Will humanity never learn from its mistakes?
Im typing before the actual vid. Ive seen it before, but never noticed the first texts. The majority of the stories abour war take place on my birth year. I feel so bad for those who watch, or lose a loved one in a battle. It shows true bravery in all forms.
War is something no one wants but monsters. And those monsters that killed Ahmed will pay one day. He will never be forgotten of the good times he had. 😭😭 I am crying as I write this cause Ahmed seriously never deserved it. Edit: and I mean to all of the other innocent people who have died as well..
Ahmed Ali and Justin if you are hearing this Ahmed was a good person he desvered peace I bet you Ali is thinking about you helping people in baghadad rest in peace Ahmed 1993- 2006
It's hard to say what he thought of your departure when you don't speak the same language... but I don't doubt that he'll constantly remember the friendly foreigner and the good times you had together. Thank you for the story.
Its sad to think but this story is probably nothing new, nothing strange, nothing out of the ordinary and happens all the time. Hatred consumes all and until its finally over the middle east (and the wold) will never be able to move forward.

dont worry :) one day youl see him again, wether you know or recognise him you still see him again some day

Do you feel differently about endless wars from when you first joined until now?
Thank you all for taking the time to listen to Ali and Ahmed's story.

cmbsoldja, War is a necessary evil, sadly it's still is.
Paladin Boyd It is mostly unnecessary, but it will happen again and again. Its up to us to stand up against war, or else we may regret it some day.

It's sorry to see how fucked up people are ,ya it's over populated don't reclaim the dessert it's hard just kill the people keep it simple 😐
Bullshit! We started this war for capitalist neoliberalism! Fucking sheeple!
Ali is probably a young adult now. Living in Baghdad.....God.....
I'd imagine he's probably one of the less likely to, seeing as he had a good relationship with an American soldier and lost a friend to terrorism, so it would (hopefully) appeal to him less.
that what i thought sounds like a really simple scam get money out of the us soldiers
Soldado Imperial if anything he would be in the rebellion fighting them back
yeah really these kids are smart, they know how to get money out of the soldiers, he’s just playing the long game
The story didn't tell that Ali was the one who asked for the money though
This one was powerful, language barriers are hard to break when building relationships.
Nicely done. I just discovered StoryCorps. Thanks for helping us reclaim our humanity.
