You might remember when Donald Rumsfield went to talk to the Soldiers in Iraq and fielded our questions, one asked" when will we get the equipment we need, my mom sent me a ballistic vest" Rumsfield answered"we go to war with the Army we have, not the Army we want" which pissed off a shit load of soldiers. learning the planning started after 911... so I found this:To save money, US Army officials order just 50 percent of the ALQ-156 flare-launching systems needed for the Illinois-Iowa National Guard fleet of Chinook helicopters. The flare-launching systems allow helicopters to evade heat-seeking missiles. “A conscious decision was made not to buy as many as we need,” Lt. Gen. Roger C. Schultz, director of the Army National Guard, later explains to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It’s a decision that has some level of risk with it.”Major Clifford E. Day at the Air Command and Staff College in Alabama concludes in a paper that the US military’s reliance on soft-skinned Humvees during the operation in Mogadishu, Somalia “needlessly put… troops in harms way without the proper equipment to successfully complete the mission.”The Illinois-Iowa National Guard is deployed to Iraq. The unit is sent with 14 of its Chinook helicopters. However, only two of them are outfitted with aircraft survivability equipment. The remaining helicopters will operate in Iraq unprotected. And ill add this, I saw Colonel Steele on the ground, and none of his lessons learned in the Mog would be taken into consideration. The Bush administration’s proposed 2004 defense budget would cap raises for E-1s, E-2s and O-1s at 2 percent, which is significantly below the average raise for military personnel of 4.1 percent. US National Guard units deployed to Iraq are less well-equipped than their counterparts in the Army. Helicopters lack aircraft survivability equipment which allows the helicopters to evade enemy fire. Guardsmen complain of shortages of body armor, night-vision goggles, ammunition, radar, uniforms, boots, cold weather gear, and two-way radios. Some guardsmen say that the equipment shortage are at times so severe that if they were operating according to Army rules the lack of equipment would have amounted to an “automatic mission-abort criteria. I remember not having batteries for my NVG for over 2 months.“automatic mission-abort criteria"?around 80 % of the country? The US military sends 12,000 soft-skinned Humvees, some with canvas-skinned doors, to Iraq along with hundreds of transport vehicles that are equally unprepared for deployment in combat zones. my mom now past, did 10 years USAF R&D and 34 years DOD R&D and scrambled at Rock Island Arsenal in 2005 to start armoring the humvees. so were still in 2003, US military units in the Gulf, as well as those in the US preparing for deployment, contract local welders and steel fabricators to retrofit their light-armored vehicles with makeshift armor known as “Hillbilly,” or “Haji,” armor. [MSNBC, 4/15/2003; Daily Press, 9/26/2004; The Washington Post, 12/26/2003]Roughly 44,000 US troops deployed to Iraq are provided with Vietnam-era Flak jackets instead of the modern Interceptor vests developed during the late 90s and in use since 2001. Flak Jackets do not protect troops from most of the ammunition types being used in Iraq. By contrast, the Interceptor vest-made of layered sheets of Kevlar with pockets in front and back for boron carbide ceramic plates-can stop high-velocity machine-gun bullets, shrapnel and other ordnance. They are also significantly lighter, giving troops more maneuverability when they need to respond quickly to threatening circumstances. Even in cases where troops are provided with the modern vests, they often lack the essential ceramic plates. [New York Daily News, 9/30/2003; Los Angeles Times, 10/02/2003; The Washington Post, 12/4/2003; Associated Press, 10/13/2003] Worried for the safety of their sons and daughters in Iraq, parents begin purchasing Interceptor vests and ceramic plates from body armor companies in the US and shipping them directly to their children’s units. Sometimes only the plates are available so soldiers improvise by taping the plates they have received from home to their Flak Jackets with duct tape-a practice that plate manufacturers say is unsafe.I'll repeat that 44,000 US troops deployed to Iraq are provided with Vietnam-era Flak jackets instead of the modern Interceptor vests developed during the late 90s and in use since 2001. US serviceman, Mike Quinn is fatally shot at a traffic control point in Fallujah during an ambush. According to his friend, Staff Sgt. Dave Harris, he was killed because he wasn’t wearing his body armor. He had apparently given his vest to a young soldier who had not been provided with one of his own.
Summer 2003:Pentagon officials indicate that they will not ask Congress to renew a temporary increase in monthly Imminent-Danger Pay (IDP) (from $150 to $225) and Family-Separation Allowance (FSA) (from $100 to $250) to US soldiers stationed in combat zones. The temporary IDP and FSA increases, which were put into effect retroactively in April, are set to expire on September 30. In August, when a journalist asks the White House about its views on the plan not to renew the pay increases, a spokesperson refers the reporter to a June Pentagon budget report which warned that the DoD budget can’t sustain the higher payments. [The Army Times, 6/30/2003; San Francisco Chronicle, 8/14/2003] But after the planned rollback of the benefits becomes a public controversy, the Pentagon issues a statement on August 14 saying that it intends to ensure that those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan “continue to receive this compensation at least at the current levels.” The statement says nothing about troops deployed on dangerous missions in other regions.The White House complains that certain pay-and-benefits incentives for US soldiers that Congress added to the 2004 defense budget are wasteful and unnecessary-including a proposal to double the $6,000 gratuity paid to the families of soldiers who are killed in action.The US Army’s official guidance on the issue of “hardening” soft-skinned Humvees and other lightly-armored vehicles includes a recommendation for soldiers to put sandbags on the floorboards to reduce the impact of explosions. Since the summer, the soldiers’ preferred solution to the problem of unprotected vehicles has been to hire local contractors to add steel to the bodies of their vehicles.
still 2003:Department of Defense officials ask Congress not to renew a temporary increase in the Family Separation Allowance (FSA) and Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) for deployed forces that had been enacted in April. Instead, Defense suggests raising the Hardship Duty Pay for troops deployed only in Iraq and Afghanistan. David Chu, the department’s top personnel official, says that the April raises were like “using a sledgehammer to hit a small nail.” The Pentagon’s intent to rollback the FSA and IDP reignites a controversy that had sprung up during the summer (see (Summer 2003)) when it was first revealed that the White House supported the Defense Department’s plan to save money by cutting back on the two programs. [Stars and Stripes, 10/4/2003] The final National Defense Authorization bill, which is passed by Congress in November, rejects the Pentagon’s recommendations and renews the pay increases.Approximately 600 sick or injured members of the US Army Reserves and National Guard are in “medical hold” at Fort Stewart where they are kept “in rows of spare, steamy and dark cement barracks in a sandy field” while doctors review their cases to determine how sick or disabled they are and whether or not they are eligible to receive benefits. Many of the soldiers in medical hold complain that they have been languishing there for “months” and that the conditions are “substandard.” Some soldiers also claim that the Army is trying to refuse them benefits on grounds that their injuries and illnesses are due to a pre-existing condition. Willie Buckels, a truck master with the 296th Transportation Company, explains to UPI reporter Mark Benjamin how he feels about the Army’s treatment of the soldiers: “Now my whole idea about the US Army has changed. I am treated like a third-class citizen.” [The Coastal Courier, 10/22/2003; CNN, 10/19/2003; United Press International, 10/20/2003; United Press International, 10/17/2003] I looked onto this and it was burn pits.Until the mid-2010s, burn pits were commonly used in Iraq, Afghanistan and other overseas locations to dispose of waste collected on military bases. That included items that produced dangerous toxic smoke when burned, such as plastics, rubber, chemical mixtures, and medical waste.the worst was stealth tech.
More than 18 months after the US began its ground invasion of Iraq, US troops are still waiting for the Army to retrofit their supply trucks.October 2003:Army Pfc. John D. Hart telephones his parents in Bedford, Massachusetts and complains that he feels unsafe patrolling in his company’s unprotected soft-skinned Humvees which do not have bulletproof shielding or even metal doors. A week later, the 20-year-old paratrooper and another soldier, David R. Bernstein, are killed when their vehicle is hit with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades in Taza outside the northern city of Kirkuk. The driver of the vehicle, Specialist Joshua Sams, will later explain to the Boston Globe that Bernstein had bled to death after being struck by a bullet that ripped through the Humvee.Acting Secretary of the Army Les Brownlee claims that the Army has ordered as many “up-armored” vehicles as its contractors can produce, but says that they will not be ready until mid-2005. But Brian T. Hart, whose 20 year old son was killed in a soft-skinned Humvee , investigates the secretary’s claim and learns that the armor manufacturers are not at full production. He takes this information to Senator Edward M. Kennedy who then helps him pressure the Army to speed up production and move the date that they will be available up to January.now 2004:The Department of Veterans Affairs announces that it is immediately cutting health care benefits to Category 8 veterans. that's only from 2003-2004..i have the rest, but its like a book of service members being fcked

President of Chile Salvador Allende. Chilean people like he was socialist but they wanted socialism the United States did not, so they had him assassinated and removed. Iran, everyone's talking Angela you ran is his evil country and maybe they are, but it is an evil that the United States and Great Britain created.. Great Britain figured since they dug up the oil it belongs to them, they got rid of their democratically elected leader and appointed the king of iran, the shah. Not the people of iran. he was appointed by Americans.. America we're going to the country, remove the leader, and that's typically through assassinations, create coup d'etat, pitting one group against the other.

The war is over in 2003. Twenty years later, US is still there. LOL

We're pretty much done operations in Iraq, Afghanistan however, that's from 2001 and we're still there.
@@firingallcylinders2949 Are you serving with a military in iraq rn?
So then it's not really over is it?!?
@@ماجدالخفاجي-د1ر We still have troops there we’re just not doing any operations
The fat guy was my barber when I was a kid, both guys are well known here in my neighborhood, it's a bit funny
The US gets to walk into foreign countries and tell people to shut up in their own country LOL
but Russia doesn't have the right to do any of that kind of stuff LOL
Well no you don't you want to take amd keep Ukraine we wanted to clean up Iraq and clean up the Middle East lmao further more bro we were attacked the Ukraine didn't attack you. So your comment really doesn't hold water if you're comparing your Ukraine action to our war on terror. I know Iraq didn't attack us but let's be honest you can't have some raging lunatic like Hussain ruling a country with that much oil reserve amd power,,,,, we don't like that plus he owed us,,,,,,, a lot
@@marc2638 why is it our place to want to clean up other countries?
And do you think that American citizens would tolerate a foreign occupying military force telling people what to do in their own country?
Tell me, I'm listening.
They destroyed my country, Iraq, terrorism is now a lot, there was no terrorism before America entered, but we fought them fiercely and killed a lot, this is their reward
@@bobbyschannel349 America does not harbor terrorist organizations that commit suicide bombing attacks and kill thousands of people in other people's countries like they did to us on 9/11. If such an organization in America were doing that, they would be stopped by the FBI/CIA/US Marshals etc. We went there to prevent another 9/11 type of attack from happening to us. Their country was completely unstable and a threat to other countries by allowing terrorist groups to gather and train there.
@@xXSgtWolfXx yeah, everyone knows that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. I think that the US intelligence knew that. Bush wanted to go in anyway, but is not just iraq. Libya, gaddafi, leaving that country ungovernable and a slave state as a result. liberia, William tolbert, creating the 1980 revolution and then finally multiple civil wars..
President of Chile Salvador Allende. Chilean people like he was socialist but they wanted socialism the United States did not, so they had him assassinated and removed.
Iran, everyone's talking Angela you ran is his evil country and maybe they are, but it is an evil that the United States and Great Britain created.. Great Britain figured since they dug up the oil it belongs to them, they got rid of their democratically elected leader and appointed the king of iran, the shah.
Not the people of iran. he was appointed by Americans..
America we're going to the country, remove the leader, and that's typically through assassinations, create coup d'etat, pitting one group against the other.
(That's one of the things that the United States loves doing by the way)
Starving out the populations. Causing disorder. This is something that they always do..

They were trying to remove a brutal dictator. If they didn't, then who else do you think would do it?
@@brucelle8272 I don't think so. If you look up what he did, then there's plenty of stories of him ordering people to be killed or sent to prison to be tortured just because they disagreed with him.
@@nathanpetrovski7525 The USA helped Saddam to stay in control. They invaded Iraq and stole all it's gold, weapons, and money. The GDP per capita of Iraq in 1990 was $10,200, in 1991 it was $22. We all know where all this money went. Even the USA's department of justice allowed the torture and massacre of innocent Iraqi civilians, the worst case covered so far being Abu Ghraib. Google it, I dare you.
@@nathanpetrovski7525 you killed millions of people but according to you that was wise.
Like taking tablespoons of sand from the beach and claiming you’re moving the waterline. We believed, but we were all puppets.

@@sil-zk8061Exactly bush order those and he is evil for that , America hates bush for that
because they didn't lol, at least not directly, look at how many kids were trailing behind him while he and his men were on their way to a potential firefight, and you wonder why civilians get implicated as casualties?

How can an operation where one country invades a poor country for no reason be a beautiful memory? All the USA wanted to do is steal their resources. They murdered thousands of unarmerd non combatants ( i.e. women, children and pensioners) the USA in this situation are war criminals, and yet you get excited about it. It just goes to show how indoctrinated, radicalised and conditioned a large portion of the USA public buy into their government's bs
