  1. @D'Artagnan  Honestly, the only reason the U.S. occupation went south was making the Sunnis feal marginalized. It soon led to extremism and sectarian violence amongst the people. Nowadays the U.S. trains foreign armies, which is a better tactic as it one builds credibility, and two, builds nationality which all soon leads to stability.

  2. @kalajari1749  I can tell you do very little research, Vietnam was practically aid dumped with China and Russia's newest equipment. Ranging from gear, kit, and guns to Tanks, Planes, and SAMs. In 1973 to 1975, they struggled against a ARVN side with no foreign support and held for 2 years against the North that was still being supplied by the two greatest mass producers in their ideology. U.S. held out there for a decade. Then we get to Afghanistan, U.S. holds Afghanistan for 20 years and invades the country with lightly armed special forces troops that weren't numerous yet took over the country successfully within 2 months. The USSR failed to take over the country in 1979 and only occupied the roads and major cities of Afghanistan and got hammered doing so.

  3.  @CJ-fs1zr  " Even have Shiite militia members during the insurgency period in the Iraq parliament after america left." Did I say they did not have any members in parliament? I just said they lost a bunch of power to the Shias. "Iraqs politics is prob the most interesting and divisive lol." Based on how the government failed to spend it's money properly the 2000s-2010s says otherwise. " One of the Iraq parliament members was part of a breakaway Islamic emirate that existed before invasion" which was Al Qaeda, not to mention you ever heard of this guy named Muqtada al-Sadr? Very great politician, research him. " Now one of the members of that breakaway Islamic emirate leads a political bloc in parliament and he congratulated the Taliban." Now the Taliban is fighting ISIS-k and other Islamic Emirates and I am sure they will be congratulating them for it. Now the two countries, Iran and Iraq, are friends to help bring stability in the Middle East and because they are both Shia dominated. In the Reuters article, "Iraqi PM in Iran after Saudi visit to push for revival of Tehran-Riyadh talks."

  4. ​@h I remember reading a book about the 1st Recon Battalion invading Iraq, saw Iraqis doing celebratory gunfire inside the city after the city was liberated by its own people. The Marines saw that it was celebratory and did not fire a single round.

  8.  @rejectsatanism4617  The wiki source states numbers ranging from 200k to 500k with majority of the civilians dying to sectarian violence. That one million figure comes from an opinion based organization with many, many flaws. Go read "Conflict Deaths in Iraq: A Methodological Critique of the ORB Survey Estimate. "Uh yeah people would probably be okay with it if it didn’t destroy the country." Man, I think the word "destroy the country" is a significant overstatement when you compare the damage being dished out by Russia right now.

  11. ​@rodoleb Imagine if your country wasn't ran by corrupt politicians and aligned with the west so that you wouldn't need to be invaded by Israel due to NATO protection.

  12. @David Martinez  As an FYI, that 1 million figure has been proven very flawed. Look at their questions, their questions are very open to interpretation by the person doing the survey. Also, guess where them Saudi terrorists boss went? Not to mention, Jihads exsist.

  13. @Walter White Jr the 4th  maybe because the Iraqi insurgency often hid in civilian populations? Dude, this is insurgency 101, do urban warfare, nerf U.S. airstrikes because they will be forced to go door to door as they want the foundations to stand. Iraq Body Count project data shows that the type of attack that resulted in the most civilian deaths was execution after abduction or capture. These accounted for 33% of civilian deaths and were overwhelmingly carried out by unknown actors including insurgents, sectarian militias and criminals. 29% of these deaths involved torture. The following most common causes of death were small arms gunfire at 20%, suicide bombs at 14%, vehicle bombs at 9%, roadside bombs at 5%, and air attacks at 5%.

  18. Ok guys I ask, would we be the same if the US invasion was built on better justifications and if the occupation went better? Would we see the U.S. in a better light if the US if the occupation didn't go disastrously?

  23. @Sophie Scholl  uh, buddy, if you bothered reading comments, I stated my awareness of its exsistance, but I called it an unreliable estimate. I trust the Iraq War Body Count project.

  24. @Parsimonious Yes, but when people make like, REALLY horrible statements that on the terms of if it's good for the country or not, I fight it lol. Such as free public healthcare, I ask, are you willing to take the taxes you are going to get from free public healthcare? These are the countries people need to ask, and people need to educate themselves before stating stuff about changing government policies

  25. @Blazin Tiger  it shouldn't as creates jobs for the army, and second, it's not like the army has a hard time recruiting, lol. Also, many veterans these days haven't seen combat.

  28. @zulu alpha  the U.S. didn't fund terrorists intentionally. It's already a well-known fact that AL Queda siphoned supplies from the Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War. I would also think that you call the Taliban a terror group, which is what most people think they are even though they are not. Not to mention this video isn't unique, other larger channels pushed the same narrative. This channel is just like the many other channels that discuss American conflicts in a bad light. It's not like Saddam did anything bad.

  29. @Los Lobos  we would believe you if you had a confirmed service record that me and Zulu can find. I got my buddy's gopro footage uploaded, yet his mic got busted before deployment.

  32.  @SecuR0M  and those who did 9/11 fled into Afghanistan pretty much. The U.S. invaded Iraq on the basis of humanitarian rights and wmds mostly, although it did house a little bit of AL Queda that wasn't liked by saddam.

  37.  @mr_kgtheog  thisy yt vid title is a joke. Like I am pretty sure the US done bad stuff in Iraq subject has been done to death already, yet people just learned about this?

  38. @iammar1159  but read the comments, nobody has refuted my responses lol. Ima ask if you smoked stuff recently to read my argument about Iraqi casualties 3 days ago.

  39. ​@Zeerak 141 uh that's partially true, but suicide among veterans is mostly caused by divorce. PTSD

  40.  @sammynatal6471  ngl I've been reading my past comments scrolling down, and it feels like I'm repeating the same points that have yet to be disproven or legitimately challenged.

  41. @blacktulip8990  if you got eyeballs and the internet, search up footage of the battles for Baghdad, Mosul, Fallujah, Ramadi, or any battle in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 during the U.S. invasion and occupation. Then, search up footage of battles in Ukraine 2022 onward, such as at Marioupol, Kyiv, Bakhmut, Advika, etc. We can look at 2014 and see how trashed Donetsk airport is, but we are going to stick with modern. Now with your eyes tell me which country's cities, in the time periods I mentioend, looks more intact. Not to mention it's only one year and Russia hasn't gotten to the point of occupying the entire country, committing counter insurgency operations in which the insurgents utilize dirty tactics like hiding in cities and using body shields. Plus, that intervention Russia did into Syria caused more damage and casualties in a shorter time span than the U.S. in Iraq.

  43.  @zeerak1415  It does have an effect, yet PTSD rates are down, and veteran suicide is caused by stress usually.

  44.  @zeerak1415  Also uh, if they stop counting, then explain how morale is being kept during 2003-2007. Morale is very important, if your morale is horrible you become the ANA, if it's good, you become the Iraqi National Army and Ukraine.

  45.  @zeerak1415  then why are there no MIA complaints? Lol, plus the Iraqi Civil War of 2006 ended in 2008.

  46.  @zeerak1415  arr you gonna be like the oryx blog and count each individual kill for me with a link to the footage? Along with the dates of each kill.

  48. @Zeerak 141  doxing would be DOB, name. And exact address, I'm just asking for country. How many people live in Pakistan?

  49.  @zeerak1415  I asked for vid verification if you lived in Iraq. Also, you brought up about faulty kill counts, so why not go count yourself?

  50. Democracy doesn't mean being woke, democracy means, participating in Government, this man is preventing Democracy, he is telling us indirectly to rebel against the government, instead of getting WE the people, to get in the government ourselves.
