@@dannystranahan1004 The Marines were the bad guys who were invading a sovereign country and enforcing the will of greedy and corrupt American politicians and elites. Orders or not, they voluntarily chose to follow orders and are equally responsible for the atrocities and suffering that the Iraqi people had to go through due to the US invasion. United States of "Might is Right" America perhaps one of the few cases of true evil in the world if its treated as a single entity.

Flying combat helicopter missions in OIF in support of my brothers and sisters on the ground was the honor and privilege of my life. Shortly before we left Iraq our squadron commander spoke to the pilots and aircrew who flew missions in some of the most dangerous conditions imaginable. I remember he said that we were part of a brotherhood and elite fraternity of flying Marines. It’s true and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Our squadron and air group suffered losses that deployment. I think about it everyday and still miss my guys. Semper Fi! Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 465 “Warhorse” OIF 2006-07

2:58 completely agree, 18 year olds will act like adults and don’t like to be seen as kids, but any 30 or 40 year old man looking at them finds it very hard NOT to see a child especially when you think back on when you were 18 you know for a fact that you weren’t mentally mature enough to handle the world by yourself yet, to some degree you can but as a 30 or 40 year old your way more in control of life both physically and emotionally and I’m not talking financially either because that would be an unfair comparison between the two age groups

Makes me so proud to be a Marine for life. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.

I wish President Clinton would not have lied to President Bush when he told him. That' Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.. Remember December 16th 1998. President Clinton ordered the bombing of Iraq and he said he was blowing up factories that were building weapons of mass destruction.. But he said we would have to someday we would have to send it ground troops to take the weapons that we're already developed over there.. President Bush had 2 choices. He could believe Suddam Hussein or he could believe the former President of the United States Bill Clinton, and President Bush chose to believe Bill Clinton

Mountain Man has it figured out. Follow his words of wisdom. I was in for 5 years the last year of that was an extension to my contact for the 03 invasion. Out of that 5 years 3+ spent deployed. Love it and hate it all at the same time. There is no other way I can put it into words. Learn what you can while you can. Those old farts you are serving with have a lot to pass on so listen. Keep up the motivation Devil Dog.

I am not a fan of regime change. On the other hand, what do people expect us to do with dictators like Saddam Hussein or Muammar Qaddafi or that Mubarick character in Egypt?

Oh the Latin woman statement is the USA stole a Latin woman’s military project. The project has a metaphysical portion like George Washington but I asked the mayans to help me put the military tactic together and lead me to the role in the plan which is commander. As long as the USA takes the military plan and continues to implement it while using mental health as a distraction (and they’re promoting mental health to fix the war) there shouldn’t be a problem. It’ll take me two years to bring ground warfare while me as a teacher giving the bait towards this country’s destruction that they choose to bring. So understand I’m going to sit back and watch it unfold as long as they take command of my project, who walks themselves into the meat grinder. Do you understand the behaviour and then you send your men to walk themselves into the meat grinder from what I’m bringing to surface.
