Ah, yes... The "Iraq fucked around and found out" war. Nothing is as satisfying as reading articles about how the invading Iraqi military got BTFO'd so hard that it literally became a laughing stock. From "4th strongest military" to "What military?" within a year. Kind of relevant due to Russia invading Ukraine, and failing epically in the process.
you got your heads stepped by Vietnamese, we have literally seen how strong after you ran away from Afghanistan. And let’s not talk about how Iraq insurgents kicked out Americans. Oh and by the way you got help from other countries and we were outnumbered😂 no way you are comparing this war to Russia and Ukraine. You are 100% an american
because it is, the American Military literally destroyed Russian-backed Mercs and Militants in Syria. The US Military is more properly trained and equipped than the Russians, if Russians are struggling even in Ukraine then I doubt they would be a problem against the Americans.

My dad was a usaf red horse vet and was in every major conflict from 89 to 00 and stayed in reserve until 2003 even after being in bosnia and Mogadishu etc but the most he talked about was desert storm he would never have a problem talking about it but never in a bias almost like a sports commentator he never said he kicked ass or glorified it He would tell me all the bad stuff saddam and his regime did which doing my own research years later I would truly understand the war and how the Iraqi people really just got caught in the cross fire as most of Iraq hated saddam and wanted Nothing to do with the baathist I remember one story in particular where him and his squad (redhorse being airforce engineers) were one of the first ground forces that arrived to the "highway of death" and his objective was to do a casualty report and he described going through the road of charred corpses unreal that it felt like a dream almost like a scene out of a 40k battle and then he was talking about how there was this one guy dead with his back against a car and they were doing whatever and marking the casually number and when they were heading back that guy was gone and they were the only squad in that sector and when they finally got back to base they called him zombie Hussain but I really do feel that no matter the politics for a time almost the whole world was fighting the evil instead of each other I mean you look at all the countries that were apart of the coalition I mean even Russia wanted Nothing to do with Iraq I mean the humanitarian aid efforts there were something not seen since ww2 it really was a "modern war for a modern age"

This was when britian was the world technological idol, we had the tornados and the Stromers and the lynx’s and apache and the challenger mk2s and 3s and the typhoon had just rolled out with the brimstone and the paveway IV, two British built missiles capable of whatever you wanted it to do. We had the strongest navy at the time and still quite a large army aswell as certainly the most well trained troops. Sad to see what it’s come to
you still got two carriers, you have modernization plans with type 26 and type 31, youre getting F-35s, challenger 3 is underway, and youre also developing GCAP with japan and italy, i'd say even if it isnt comparable to the days of the empire, the british still punch well above their weight

Do you think we’ll ever get into some kind of Cold War era proxy conflict with China?
Thank you for your service!
@@empresseternity1 I'm not the one you should be thanking. Thank the tens of men that died fighting for a small countries freedom.
@@JustAMaxwell United through death and war, all soldiers who fought for the sake of their country stand as one in the end. I don't see you as any less or any more than those who died honorably in battle.
I wish you nothing but good health and a long life. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@empresseternity1 Thank you brother.
PURE FREEDOM!!!!!!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Yes. Although sometimes, it’s better to give some up. At least when it comes to the imperial system. (Seriously even as an American it confused the hell out of me. That’s literally just one of the reasons of me very well considering just moving to the Netherlands.)
@Content_enjoyer it’s complex, lots of bureaucracy, and other hassles, it’ll take a while to be accepted.
My AFJROTC Instructor worked as a mechanic to re-arm the F-117 Nighthawk back in the '90s
Must have been better than being an F-15 or god B-52 re-armer
you can just feel the freedom
😅🤣
Failed liberation, costing American and Arabic deaths for 0 gain
This is so immersive i feel like american liberating inside me
hell yeah

Beautiful 🥺🥺
Makes me feel patriotic about a nation ive never even visited

Welcome to your life there's no turning back
Even while we sleep we will find
You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire, it's my own remorse
Help me to decide, help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never, never, never, need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
My brother who is 18 years older than me fought in this war with the 1st Marine Division and would love to thank him for his service
What type of weapon is shown at 0:26?
Forgot the designation, but iirc its used to make paths in minefields
its a MICLIC
I thought it was to rip planes out the sky
I wasn’t even alive but this feels mad nostalgic
It is important to remember that this wasn’t just an American war
From UK 🇬🇧
Based as hell
@@freshnewcungaderoNot just saying that the largest coalition since WW2 was fighting this not just America like a lot of people would think.
This always gets me hyped it might be weird saying this but by far my favorite war with the camo and equipment.
This is poetic, especially right now.
Good timing
Idk if it’s the music or the classic 90s film quality but this is perfect.
Kids:This is skibidi toilet theme
Adults served in the gulf war:*Flashbacks*
And still most of the footage captured here is better than videos in a bank.
We don’t spend $650B on our defense to come second.
Then : Gulf War
Now : Skibidi War
Did you miss the ones with السودان سوريا فلسطين لبنان؟
Both Based
Impressive I always like edits
I was a child when this war started I remember seeing footage of it in the TV
Ah, yes... The "Iraq fucked around and found out" war. Nothing is as satisfying as reading articles about how the invading Iraqi military got BTFO'd so hard that it literally became a laughing stock. From "4th strongest military" to "What military?" within a year.
Kind of relevant due to Russia invading Ukraine, and failing epically in the process.
200 mass shootings in America the past 128 days 😂
you got your heads stepped by Vietnamese, we have literally seen how strong after you ran away from Afghanistan. And let’s not talk about how Iraq insurgents kicked out Americans. Oh and by the way you got help from other countries and we were outnumbered😂 no way you are comparing this war to Russia and Ukraine. You are 100% an american
At least we don’t have school shootings every fucking second lmfao
Our lost casualties are nothing compared to your school shootings💀
@@bandeez23Destabilized country much?

Us army in the 90s makes the Russian military today look like a joke.
because it is, the American Military literally destroyed Russian-backed Mercs and Militants in Syria.
The US Military is more properly trained and equipped than the Russians, if Russians are struggling even in Ukraine then I doubt they would be a problem against the Americans.
To be fair US army of the 90s makes even US army of today look like a joke.
This is so cool and I love it
2:26 what does this means? Can you all translate it?
I guess its telling Iraqis to put down their guns if they want to save their lives
"If you wanna Save your Life Surrender"
@hashlapgop thanks my man;)
If you want to save your life leave your gun and walk to the collation forces.. there's more things but I can't see it clearly but I guess the second line does say
We bombed iraq cause of saddam its not your fault its your leader fault
My dad was a usaf red horse vet and was in every major conflict from 89 to 00 and stayed in reserve until 2003 even after being in bosnia and Mogadishu etc but the most he talked about was desert storm he would never have a problem talking about it but never in a bias almost like a sports commentator he never said he kicked ass or glorified it He would tell me all the bad stuff saddam and his regime did which doing my own research years later I would truly understand the war and how the Iraqi people really just got caught in the cross fire as most of Iraq hated saddam and wanted Nothing to do with the baathist I remember one story in particular where him and his squad (redhorse being airforce engineers) were one of the first ground forces that arrived to the "highway of death" and his objective was to do a casualty report and he described going through the road of charred corpses unreal that it felt like a dream almost like a scene out of a 40k battle and then he was talking about how there was this one guy dead with his back against a car and they were doing whatever and marking the casually number and when they were heading back that guy was gone and they were the only squad in that sector and when they finally got back to base they called him zombie Hussain but I really do feel that no matter the politics for a time almost the whole world was fighting the evil instead of each other I mean you look at all the countries that were apart of the coalition I mean even Russia wanted Nothing to do with Iraq I mean the humanitarian aid efforts there were something not seen since ww2 it really was a "modern war for a modern age"
My uncle served in this war as part of the 1st Calvary division. Great man.
Por tu culpa ahora no puedo escuchar la canción sin pensar en este buenísimo edit 👏
the song fits so well ong
My dad was their. 1st armored division. He tells me a lot about. I can tell he's still affecting it even today. I just hope I don't lose him so soon from the health issues that plague gulf war vets.
The "Turn your back on mother nature" part..kinda makes sense using it like this
You know, my dad was deployed into the gulf war and he made it out alive. He was an engineer for the gulf war.
this is defintly in my top 5 best military edits ever

It still rules .

the fact that "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was released during the gulf war makes this fit even better

While in basic training two months ago, we got 30 minutes to use our phones on sundays. That was it. You know what I did for 4 minutes 10 seconds of that half hour? I watched this video... three sundays while I was there I watched this video.
interesting fact: this is first American war that was publicly supported by the USSR, and the countries of the former Eastern bloc sent their contingent to the international coalition.
Really? Where did u read that. That's amazing

This was when britian was the world technological idol, we had the tornados and the Stromers and the lynx’s and apache and the challenger mk2s and 3s and the typhoon had just rolled out with the brimstone and the paveway IV, two British built missiles capable of whatever you wanted it to do. We had the strongest navy at the time and still quite a large army aswell as certainly the most well trained troops.
Sad to see what it’s come to
I am not a brit-basher but I dont think you had the strongest navy since ww2.
you still got two carriers, you have modernization plans with type 26 and type 31, youre getting F-35s, challenger 3 is underway, and youre also developing GCAP with japan and italy, i'd say even if it isnt comparable to the days of the empire, the british still punch well above their weight
