stop a brutal authoritarian regime from threatening its neighbors/the world and cease its genocide against its own people, not to mention halt the environmental damage (draining of the Mesopotamian Marshes and the desertification of the region)

seize a country of 23 million people

occupy it for nearly a decade

resulting loss of only 100,000 Iraqi civilians and about 2000-3000 American soldiers

permanently alter the course of Iraq toward democracy, keeping it out of the hands of Iran and in Western hands

allows the U.S. literally to write the books on counter-insurgency and enhance its military doctrines

begins the era of drone warfare

produces kino such as picrel

How does it hold up? Does it respect the magnitude of what the United States accomplished with Iraq? or is it about >m-muh PTSD?

ZOGanda

i'm fighting for no free healthcare at home

not as cool as vietnam, epic as ww2 or grimdark as ww1, it was meaningless and kafkaesque like most of the modern world I guess

In a perfect world Saddam's Iraq and Khomeini's Iran should've just killed each other

I mean, Iran-Iraq gave it their best shot in the 80s

the war the world forgot

Why didn't we supply Iraq with forces to beat Iran?

The Russians learned in the Arab-Israeli wars that you cannot supply Arabs with sufficient support and materials to overcome their incompetence.

It's a reconstruction of a botched military mission. Nothing more, nothing less, and it does a good job at that.

keeping it out of the hands of Iran

their government is so pro-Shia that the current PM is literally named Shia

he will not divide us
t. sunni iraqi

For what purpose? Endless human wave tactics, region fucked, war functioning as intended

the point wasn't to beat iran
it was to destroy all of the weapons america sold to the shah, by selling a bunch of weapons to saddam
then america had to destroy those weapons in desert storm

Kill all the jews.

Just finished Warfare. BASED movie holy shit

Yes I liked this movie too. Its very cinema verity documentary style. Its just about camaraderie in a bad situation there is no woke or geopolitics just a bunch of guys getting shot at in somebody else's country. And most important - no girls another movie free of estrogen toxicity to add to the list of all those old WW2 movies.

All that bullshit to justify the ameritards LOSING the fucking war.
What a bunch of goobers. LMFAO

That little czech nigga is my hero, he gets more vindicated every day

Generation Kill was pretty good.

All that bullshit to justify the ameritards LOSING the fucking war.

oh is Saddam back ? I did not see him. The purpose of the war was regime change so the embargoed iraq petroleum could be put back on the market and to remove a threat to israel, Americas owner.

anon we have to literally pretend that we think the Iraqi government is in an allience with Iran to hide how much we won that war.

honestly so good I don't need there to be other great 21st century war movies. shame the author an hero'd.

to remove a threat to israel, Americas owner.

Ok guys this Saddam fella doesn't really Israel

So we gonna remove him and replace him with a weak shit government controlled by Iran

Because those Iranian fellas love Israel, right?

I thought the purpose of the illegal invasion was the removal of WMDs and introducing democracy.

You sound like a faggot

We freed the shit out of them

a weak shit government controlled by Iran

Right because the zionist propaganda wants the US to do iran too. Ill bet the Iranians behead babies too.

I get not wanting to leave guns behind. Because the rifle you leave behind might wind up being the rifle that kills you, ok. But why were they so precious about the sledgehammer? It's just a hammer. Leave it there.

I haven't watched Civil War but the combat clips I've seen look absolutely atrocious. Since this is made by the same two people I can't imagine it's any better. The praise means nothing as the same puddingheads praised The Hurt Locker's "authenticity".

Its very cinema verity documentary style

Redundant. ESL?

You really slurped the propaganda, huh lil amerishart?
You turned their country into a pile of rubble and ran away when shit hit the fan. Don't be obtuse.

I don't think the Iraq War was a good thing, but it's weird how no one ever seems to care that Iraq nowadays is definitely better off than it was under Saddam. It's not a perfectly functioning country or anything but it's an improvement.

Improved how

The entire ME is fucked, probably beyond salvation because of the GWOT

More construction opportunities.

Shut the fuck up, shitlib. Which CIA white paper are you getting your talking points from?

but it's weird how no one ever seems to care that Iraq nowadays is definitely better off than it was under Saddam.

Lol. Good one, Mr. CIA agent

it's weird how no one ever seems to care that Iraq nowadays is definitely better off than it was under Saddam

we aren't talking about it to avoid drawing attention to how many of our ME allies are not democracies.

muh democracy!

The US stopped being a democracy and turned into a failed oligarchy/late roman republic state a long time ago

he posted from an empty drainage pipe in the Donbass region

posting the 2022 version

the 2025 version is about the US wearing a MAGA hat while China and EU look in horror and disgust

another movie where seals get btfo

many such cases

Hello, Mr. Plebbitor. You seem to be lost.

Or maybe it's the fact you retards fucked up the region by overthrowing Saddam and your faggot ex president bush admitted there were no WMDs

They probably all wrote books about it and promoted them on their podcasts.

Even if there were no WMD the fact is that Saddam COULD build WMD at any moment and give them to the terrorists

So he had to be stop

When America invades and occupies a country, its a liberation. An accomplishment.
How come America can conquer the world in the name of democracy and its a good thing?

Dang son! I rootin tootin sure as heck didn't think of it that way. Well snap my garters and polish my moonshine. That's a mighty fine point, parrdner.

that was a bad choice of words since a documentary could consist of stock clips and narration. This movie is cinéma vérité like Restrepo or Combat Obscura.
