  • Seven months after war was declared over, journalist Sean Langan arrived in Iraq. He spent three months living in the notorious Sunni triangle, deftly moving between resistance fighters and the American troops. Travelling where few journalists dare to go and filming alone, the producer has captured a rare grassroots view of the war still raging across Iraq.

      Crazy to think that the higher ups never stopped to think that maybe there is an endless supply of insurgents because they kept forcing the locals to become one. Asides from the fact that the invasion was not justified to begin with.

      Two major incidents in my lifetime that changed the way we live was first 9/11 and the War on Terror that followed.

      @Tawheed_Taqwa_Tawakkul Lots of these kids enlisting are only 17-18 years old. How much did you know about the world at 17? On top of that, these ain’t prep school educated kids. Most come from inner cities or the back ass of nowhere, where the education system sucks. They come from broken and impoverished homes and are just looking for a way out.
      It isn’t in their contract that they would be invading Iraq. If you think that, then you clearly haven’t been anywhere near an enlistment contract. On top of that many are lied to by recruiters, who will downplay the danger or the chances of deploying. Given this was the early days of Iraq, the invasion had already finished, and Afghanistan seemed to be going well. Many of the guys were sold a story that the war was over and the fighting was done. I knew one kid who enlisted in the army as a Forward observer. The recruiter told him he’d be part of a fire support team; the dumbass thought that meant he was going to be a firefighter, not calling in artillery strikes. In this video the Iraqis mistaken the Americans for Jews multiple times. They know next to nothing about the Americans. The average American soldier didn’t know shit about politics or Iraq either - you can see they’re all just parroting the popular talking points that was probably briefed to them by their command. I guarantee you the war to the vast majority of them has nothing to do with politics. They’re just trying to not get killed. An interview that is going to be broadcasted on national television is not a good setting to hear someone’s true thoughts, especially when they’re serving in a war zone and under a chain of command.

The government did indeed lie and create propaganda to influence the public into supporting the war. 9/11 played a big part in it even tho the 19 men on the plane were mostly Saudi. The unfortunate reality is the majority of the American populace is completely ignorant of the facts of the real world, especially history and the history of other nations, so we are prone to being easily manipulated into supporting terrible evils if they are framed as necessary in order to perpetuate the sheltered existence we live in our land across the oceans from the rest of the world.

They will give you the literal shirt off their back, feed you until you can't eat any more, and tell you their entire life's story in the process. One minute you're asking for directions, next they're planning your marriage to their cousin's daughter.

      @@jasoninthehood9726 The reason for what you've observed is that people from all countries are generally good, and want to show foreigners their kindness and compassion. Middle Eastern countries in particular are known for their hospitality. You can see it when the shop keepers in Ramadi help the British journalist and provide him safe haven, even though they were likely part of the resistance against the US and British. However those same people will not be so kind if you kick down their door, violate their social and cultural norms, arrest their children (often based on poor intelligence or wrong addresses), hold them indefinitely without charge in prisons with horrific conditions, and then tell them they ought to be grateful for the service. Especially when the foreign soldiers doing the door kicking are almost totally ignorant of the local culture, history and language. Then those soldiers get all indignant and moralizing when the locals begin to express their anger at the injustice and callous cruelty they were subjected to. Ask yourself how you would feel if you were in the position of those women waiting outside a notoriously brutal prison for the slight chance of seeing their loved ones.
      Many Americans who served in Iraq have long since realized the self-defeating nature of the tactics and missions they were ordered to carry out. Upon reflection, and after many years of healing and grief, they were able to understand why Iraqis were so angry at them, and that this anger was in many cases entirely justified. That doesn't mean that the friends and comrades they lost deserved to die, and nor will it bring them back. But it will provide a degree of understanding that isn't possible if you cling to simplistic notions that Iraqis were all just "bad people." It could also help ensure that America never again engages in such a criminal and destructive invasion and occupation. That would be best for not only the rest of the world, but also the American soldiers of the future, who won't have to experience the horrors of fighting an unjust and pointless war, the purpose of which they don't understand and can't even articulate to themselves or others.

      No, of course! Not all cultures are the same! Of course, what unites humanity is more than what divides it, but every people has good and bad behaviors! In general, the most generous people are the Arabs because of the Bedouin influence that forces people to become extremely generous to strangers. Whoever does not do this is very bad, reprehensible, and has no honor in Iraqi culture, for example. Of course, I am not saying that Iraqis are “angels.” We have many bad things like any other people, but kindness toward strangers is something that distinguishes us, and it is something that people are proud of and that the family teaches to the children.​@@jasoninthehood9726

      it's well established that the oncept of freedom, including as a political goal in modern times, has aome wildly differing definitions. probably the most recognized one is the american libertarian freedom, but there are different conceptions including the leftist one of freedom from economic exploitation, or even freedom ideals of religious fundamentalists that boil down to freedom from temptations to sin and challenges to the religion.

      I've noticed a lot of people throw around the word freedom alot when there is perceived oppression towards any demographic of people. This stirs the affected and sympathizers to make rally's where it is chanted for there to be Equality, but I think that right there is the problem. "Equality" in its most basic definition is to treat everybody and everything the same, which is good but equality doesn't not fix any economical problems, we just treat everybody nice and the same. What a rally should be really about is Equity. "Equity" in its basic definition is fairness and justice. It's acknowledging the fact that not everyone starts off the same, and it's the process of getting EVERYONE on equal footing. Unfortunately that kind of concept does not run parallel to capitalism, but I suppose that's an entirely different argument.

They had no income as the bread winners of their families. There was no security, no order, nothing. They lost HOPE! When people lose hope they will do anything and follow anyone to help them out of their predicament. Hence why society had collapsed. People who lose hope and with the death and destruction around them. they will inevitably go mad, we saw that guy with the grenade.

    Excellent film, extremely brave and professional journalist.
    Probably the best documentary about US invasion on Iraq.
    Every Westerner should watch this movie. This is how NATO bombed my people, the Serbs, and falsely slandered them. Likewise, he never found "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq. The goal of the USA and the collective West was never to build a rule of law in Iraq or Afghanistan, but only an interest. Oil and opium. As well as the geopolitical environment of Russia, Iran and China. Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria. In all these countries, America (USA) and the collective West made a mess. But that was his goal. Islamic terrorism was just the answer. There are so many analyzes and observations that prove how wrong and disastrous the American policy towards Iraq was after the invasion. In the end, the Taliban defeated both the US and the West after so many years. And what does that tell us? I feel sorry for all the Iraqi innocent victims. One day the USA will also face accusations of genocide 🙏
