@@Adamorevo ?
Thankyou for your service
Marines, thank you for your service! I’m sorry for your losses and wounds!
@Syphax Atlas or you know they fought terrorist groups that are blowing people up for going to school
@@mindo5182 during saddam there was no blowing up why when the US showed up and the blowing up started????
@@radiation8174 a lot of them time the us is there for security and the oil is a benefit
@@mindo5182 Exactly, we went in there to get those guys out. Not for oil.
@@mindo5182 Perfectly said.
This really messed my head up. Rest in peace brother.
gaw gaw i always ask this question. People dont get that they are in the middle of a big political game that makes the people in power get richer and more powerful while the soldier die in the dreams of “fighting for america”
Really? 😂
@@gawgaw6941 Only a moron would allow a video to mess up their head. Better?
On another note, wonder if my pops, after putting a loaded gun to my head, messed with my "head"? 🤔
How lol you wasn’t even there
@@Ralphk1804 Imagine that and I wasn't even there🤣😂👍
What great brave patriots. Regards fellow warriors from the UK
williejames huff Sounds and looks?
@williejames huff Dude's Humvee got hit by a rpg the fact that he can still speak is a miracle, the slow one here is you.
You're all slow in the brain dept, lol. Indoctrinated sycophants and psychopaths..
of course they are ''great brave patriots''...!...regardless of the lies of WMD !
Why patriots? Invading other countries doesn't make you a patriot.. all what your "heroes" achieved, was the rise of the IS.
Thank-You for your service and sacrifice and for protecting my 6.
Long life Iraq 🇮🇶
brave Iraq people stand vs the usa
The best part about the comment sections is seeing all these experienced combat instructors pop up like they know how to handle every situation
@Jay R You have no idea of what you are talking about. We rolled slow also to make sure there were no IED ahead. That was really common on the road. Just running away of the fight usually got you right at the IED that they wanted you to hit. That was their strategy all of the time.. just pop and shoot and get people running away right into a IED trap. I was there, third vehicle from the convoy. Stopping was the best we could have done.
🤣🤣. Nothing goes by the books. Once the bullets start flying it plays out way different.

Thank you for the service its sad that some1 will always die

Brave men,we wish we were all as brave.we can only hope we are
I agree: stop on an ambush is crazy.
Wow thank you for your service brave men
Happiness and good luck to all American soldiers! God Bless America!
Another viewpoint is people defending their homeland against a vastly overmatched invader. And for what?
ran stid
My thoughts exactly.
Or the us is stopping them from doing any more harm to their country u losers have a heart their fighting for their life not as if the us just started killing cilvilans
@@oscarrayner6056 yes, kill the enemy to prevent them from wrecking their own country. Makes perfect sense.
Remember the legend
You do realize that it was the invasion that produced the religious extremists? This is not a theory, Saddam had always brought the hammer down on religious extremists (Baath party policy).
Thank You 😊 For Your Service We Won’t Forget.💙
We won't forget america is the great devil
Never stop moving keep moving to stay alive..thanks you your ultimate service guys
God bless the United States Marine Corps. Proudly served 1970 to 76. RVN w/HMM165. CH53CC. Semper Fi.

You guys are hero's. Love You all
America 🖕🖕
Always choose the Marines. ..
So
But does the Marines choose you?
God Bless our troops. You’re truly appreciated!!!!!!!
Thank you men
I love America. Intelligent people. Everything they go in for is already planned for years behind.
That takes some really brave men to do that. I’m not going to lie I would have probably folded in that situation like that
I remember in 04 when we were training for Iraq (Germany). We conducted a variety of training exercises shooting out of a moving vehicle (day and night). We were part of OIF III (end of 05 and most of 06) so we missed the first and second battle of Fallujah. Correction, I was just getting to Germany when First AD (armored division) was coming home from a 15 month deployment. First AD got extended 3 months after the first battle of Fallujah. So I got to spend July 04 -November 05 in Germany before deploying. My battery was the only ones to deploy in battalion. We supported the 101st air borne division. While we missed the battles of Fallujah we were there for the battle of Ramadi. We had the up armored Humvees. I didn't actually take part as I was at Speicher, but between Fallujah and Ramadi those were the most intense battles of the operation.
RML 19 all that for what?
What did you accomplish
Brave Brave Marines!!
Entering a place without air support a drone or sending a tallow. Remote controlled would avoid equipment and material losses.
2004....all the drones we had were shot from a slingshot and controlled by radio thru a laptop. Not exactly support. And we always had a QRF unit standing by. And we did get air support from helicopters. Just saying. And not all of the units driving around can get escorted by air support. Its was real life, not a videogame.
rip to all fallen heros
That's so sad 😞 😥
When is season 2 coming out?
And battle pass
They should have dismounted and hid in the bushes, just like the enemy
But I still appreciate their service
What bushes
Sad indeed bro. God bless u right there
Thanks so much for everything y'all do for us I really appreciated it y'all stay safe and take care love yall !!🤜🤛🙏
Semper Fi brothers!
I wish you guys had just kept pushing through. Thank you forever.
Fighting all these wars around the world but you home is becoming weird and inhospitable due to lack of attention
junior demus - no my home is just fine. I don't see people lined up trying to get into your country...why is that?
@@heavenstomurgatroyd7033 who would line up to get into america when their country is working and not being invaded by america?
@@gareonconley1956 everybody wants to come to America
All these man are equal in trauma but I dare say the medic has the worse of memories of this ambush
Too much respect 🙌....
Desert Storm provided great advertising for the Hummer! PR , commercials, marketing, all that stuff!
The fact their driving in like Nevada or someplace shooting to the side is cool
Yes- all of the expert goddess did place suite requests.. But thats different as every resident that enters Isadore gets an assigned suite.
Ambush means You’ve been Spotted
Check out Kennedy defense Solutions on vigilance Elite podcast he had 180 engagements less than a year in Afghanistan these two Navy Seals get together and talk about the stories
Military is a hard work but it’s dangerous
this is why we respect our 2nd amendmant right
Camera man: jesus told me he made me immortal
R.i.p to the people that were whanteling to join the military
Someone has to do it
wasnt haditha dam in april to?? still the fear of not knowing your approaching an IED is the worst day in day out the second u stop worrying is when it happens everyone aged faster bc of that fact
Really begs the question. Why are we still over there. Why do we send people like this to the slaughter. To fight and die for what exactly?
Greetings from Iraq😎
With the US Armed Forces using Drones since 70/80/90's why wasn't drones used to the fullest then. Had only drones were used for scouting before going operations and alikes than it would have saved many Soldiers life's!
I want to help u people am from st lucia
Drive into the ambush. Couldn’t be me
Why didnt you guys didnt call it in for emergency air strike, gunship/ apache???
It's a big mistake to stop during an ambush you will be a sitting duck.
Why didn't they just keep driving then call for air support?
The tactic of stopping is stupid continue on and circle back with air support if posible
The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all
SEMPER FIDELIS
stay at home
The 1st Recon Bn is under the command of the larger 1st Marine Division
Brave patriots
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

God bless our troops!💪
Your troops are guiltyi
Nobody tell them to be there.
WHY? Wasn’t there something in the Air? I don’t get it!
Keep in mind this was before we had Warlocks, Jammers, MRAPPs, Blue Force Trackers and all the doo dats. During this times only the driver was armored sometimes. The SOP was to ride with one leg out. This was back when when you had a Insurg sitting at the bus stop and would do a suicide run with an AK and spray a doorles transport.
A lot of tactics and procedures changed a lot during the Insurgency. The 2004 Spring Insurgency.
Keep in mind that US should never be there in the first place...
Pendagon wars...
Didnt recon have some blue force trackers?
We’re sad from watching the video but imagine how sad it is for them to lose a brother like that
Question,why they stopped instead of pick up the speed and just leave the dangerous spot? We lost another two greatest people for nothing.
You don't leave messes for others to clean up. Not Marines anyway. Suppose they just decided to move on and do nothing. What happens to the next squad, platoon,flight or whoever that comes through that area. They would have to live with that. You take care of your business and do not let someone else clean up the mess. It's not that hard to understand folks.
Love this marines god bless them
Brave US Army. Love from India
Respect to these gentlemen !! Can anyone help me identify the font used at 9:50 ?

@@mannotfromeurope3100 Hey
Satisfying, that's what you get for acting like heroes , occupying someone's land.
Semper Fi Marines:👍
Who the fool would stop in a kill zone. The tactic is to fight/keep firing n keep driving...
Meh knowingly pushing into an ambush isn’t brave... it’s foolish and they accomplished NOTHING.
بعدكم لحد هسه تذكرون الفلوجهه 🤣🤣🤣✌🇮🇶

This is ridiculous, none of that would have happened if they had kept going. It's common sense not to stop when you'r ambushed
Very sad!!

Salute to them from pakistan....they are ordinary people and just follow orders
From PAKISTAN.......wow
Dont do this again, stay safe, dont try this at home, school or any country.
Fools. Should have kept rolling and reset for combat without 2 fronts. Why you would stop in the middle of an ambush is just mind bogling.. foolish foolish mistakes made from start to when dismount
Dan Dillinger first vehicle is hit with an rpg. They wouldnt leave them
@@jomcueto980 They got hit after they stopped, which makes sense since stationary targets are easier to hit. I agree with op here, i dont get why they stopped.
Because usually a well prepared ambush has some surprise to prevent you from leaving. So you can choose: 1. Drive trough and probably hit a massive IED then try to fight off the enemy. 2. Turn around and return then probably hit a massive wire or radio controlled IED then try to fight off the enemy. 3. Hold and assault into the ambush.
The whole idea of a good ambush is that the side getting ambushed already starts with the biggest disadvantage possible, there are no perfect ways to deal with one and suffering losses is guaranteed.
Seems like a bad decision to tell them to pick up speed and push forward . Could have put a helicopter above or some a-19
2:23 Spider Man?
An occupying super military can't get ambushed. They can only get what they asked for or take on behalf of their corporate overlords' private profits.
"ambushed" LOL
The Best USA 🇺🇸 Rangers
warhogs, just 2 , would have taken care of this
The soldiers are brave. But there is distinct flaw in their trg philosophy. Over dependence on tech and unwillingness to mov out of vehicle/ mechanisation has primarily taken away agility of an infantryman. The Examples are Vietnam, Korea Afganistan and so on.
In the first battle in the city of Fallujah, the fighters placed mounds from the dust and completely closed the city to prevent anyone from entering. The American forces were unable to enter and many of them died. In the second battle, the people of the city demanded that the city be opened out of it. But they could not, then, forbidden (chemical) weapons were fired into the city, causing the death of many Iraqi civilians and fighters, serious diseases and many deaths due to inhalation of these chemicals. These events are narrated from the families that were there and witnessed what happened in detail Saddam was America's client but he challenged them so it was to get rid of it, and the nonsense of freedom, which deceived the people you are trying to do will not get you nowhere, In these words, I mean the government, not the American people.
You are saying US forces fired chemical weapons into that city?
Mike Brown
That’s what he’s saying...
@Marcus Aetius I find that very hard to believe since US and Iraqi forces cleared that place with no NBC equipment. News reporters were in the city filming. I also know a Marine that was there and chemical weapons are not part of his story nor would he help in a cover-up of US using chemical/biological weapons on innocent people caught in the middle. That guy believes he was killing Islamic Fundamentalists who had commited murder at completely took over the city. He believes he was trying to turn Iraq into a better place than when Hussain and his sons were in charge.
Islamic Fundamentalists were the ones killing the most people who had nothing to do with it. They needed them there as human shields. They didn't want them to leave and tried to force them to stay by fear and brutalization.
US was and Iraqi forces were the ones telling the regular people to leave for well over a week before they went in. The long lines of people fleeing the city are on film. Then US and Iraqi forces went in once a large percentage of regular people were out.. They found dead people alright, but not from chemical weapons. Unless chemical weapons shoot families in the head from point blank range execution style.
They can fire and use propaganda. Do not trust any government
@@johnbodo2972 I really don't trust US government at all about anything, but I do trust the guy I know that was there. US and some Iraqi forces went into a city loaded with enemy that had killed innocents and they went building to building, door to door in one of the largest, ballsy and gritty infantry based urban battles since Stalingrad. They didn't even completely level the city either. Men's men is what went into that city.
If the guy I know's personal account matches up with the government's story, well it's probably what happened. I knew the guy before and after his service and he is not the type that would just be ok with chemicals being used. He had just got his teaching degree when 9/11 happened. Then he turned USMC infantry, then he turned into USMC infantry LT and after who knows how many deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan in a decade plus military career, he now works at a VA with guys that have PTSD like he does.
If chemicals were used, then why is there his story and many many others of going into those buildings and fighting men that were very much alive until they surrendered or were killed? Being in a building isn't going to save very many from the kind of chemicals US has. Why in the films from the actual event in no one wearing NBC equipment if chemicals were used? Why is this the first time I a " conspiracy theorist" ever heard of US using chemical weapons in that battle? More than likely because this OP is full of it.
i hate to be that guy, but he claims he was trying to save his buddy after his hand where gone. Im just not sure what he did to try to save him when he had no hands
Need air support
