I'm an American soldier. I was in Fallujah and various other places in Anbar Province Iraq in 2005 and 2006. I missed the big battle in Fallujah by about a year but the insurgency was still very hot and there was plenty of fighting still going on. A lot can be said about whether or not we should have been there that I won't get into here, but I will say this, I am glad life is returning to normal there. Those people deserve peace and I regret the horrors they suffered at our hands and those of others. There are children being born there now who haven't seen war. God willing they can go their entire lives without ever having to see it. That is something worth praying for.
The audacity to come here and comment this when you participated in destroying lives of parents of those babies you pray never see war. Im from another country that US destroyed for absolutely nothing, and there is nothing that gives me more joy than seeing how epically you guys failed in Iraq and how there is no American soldier that can say “Im proud for what we did in Iraq”. Must be pretty shitty participating in it, probably having PTSD from it and then staying alive to know that you were on the wrong side of history basically every war since WW2. That’s what happens when youre the only country with intellect big enough to be sold a story that youre protecting the nation by fighting a war on another continent. None of you ever fought a war in your own backyard and it would be interesting to see what would your actually victorious ancestors have to say about your proxy wars across the planet. On a side note, Iraqis are so strong, warm and I can’t imagine the terror you guys went through under the american booth. I hope future brings you nothing but prosperity, health and love and that you manage to rebuild your great country that was such a big part of making this planet an educated place. Love for people of Iraq ❤️🙏🏻
don't worry, you guys are coming back as you always do. maybe in 4 years give or take, but this time under a different pretext "to liberate Iraq from Iranian Militias" or something like that. just like 1991 , 2003 to liberate Iraq from Saddam, 2006-2011 to liberate Iraq from Alqaeda, 2014-2017 to liberate Iraq from IS. Always a different Pretext, But we all know who pays the real price of these wars.
@@WhatAboutYou123 1991 was Saddam's mistake, and the Kuwaitis Saudis are quite happy with that result, so you guys get to own that one. I won't argue with you that 2003 was a mistake with tragic consequences. We never left Iraq between 2003 and 2006-11 however, so I'm not sure what other "pretext" you're trying to conjure up there. We invaded in 2003, removed Saddam, and AQI filled the power vaccum in the Sunni areas of the country wile the Mahdi Army and other Iranian-backed groups moved in in the Shia areas. It was a fiasco, that we no doubt caused, but once the gravity of our error was apparent to us, we did not simply want to extricate ourselves and let the rival factions genocide each-other. We did the surge which seemed to work to a point that we were satisfied enough to leave and did so, which was another huge mistake. Fast forward and the Obama administration decided to treat the Arab Spring like it was Woodstock, the Maliki government in Baghdad was corrupt and authoritarian, and ISIS was able to take a third of the country. So what were we do do? Just say, "well that sucks, hope they work it out." No, ISIS was the was the most brutal incarnation of Sunni fundamentalism in living memory. They had to be dealt with. This time we allowed the Iraqis to do the vast majority of the fighting on the ground while we supported them from the air. It worked pretty well and the Caliphate fell. As for Iran. They're our enemies, and have powerful influence in Iraq. We don't want to go back there, and hopefully with use of soft power and proxies, we will be successful in eroding their influence and limiting their reach without having to go to war. If however they get froggy and move in the open to take territory, you had better belive, we will be there, and in that instance, we won't be coming as occupiers with misguided hopes for creating Western democracies in the Middle East. It will be much more like 1991, where we're coming with very specific aims to punch an enemy in the face for overstepping their bounds, and that kind of war, has a different character all together.
@@Forstudyonly-sv4yu You are in your own world you know nothing about iraq . Do you know thousands of Iraqi protest against the corruption in iraq . The corrupted gov. Just killed many of protestors to get ride of them . Do you know the name of the victims?? Because you don't care .
Invade with weapons they defend and fight. Visit with a camera, your brother and a smile they welcome you with open arms and invite you to their homes. ❤. Your videos of Iraq speak louder than wars and are making us all happy. Much love and respect.
An April 2004 Gallup poll showed Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of more than 2 to 1. They didn't change their tune until 2006 when mass sectarian violence swept the country. In other words they mass murdered each other and then blamed Americans.
As an Indian, with another ancient civilization, I feel really sad on how the US destroyed Iraq. Iraqis were known from antiquity about everything from Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldean, Akkadian. Discovery of wheel, to manuscripts, I'm obsessed with Iraq. It's even so kind of Iraqis that they don't hold any grudge against any American civilian, I really respect them for that. Phenomenal people.
Thank you my brother for these beautiful words, The Iraqi people respect all visitors regardless of your country or religion. We are brothers in humanity and we do not allow wars and politics to divide us, The Iraqi people are characterized by a kind heart and when we see a visitor from outside Iraq we are very happy, My greetings to India and to the actor Shahrukh khan 😁🇮🇶🇮🇳
yes.. us americans have zero power because everyone is fat and happy and wont replace the government with something better.. Israel runs the west unfortunately
@@h.k3 Shlonak ? I learned a little Iraqi Arabic long long back. I hope that I get to visit Iraq someday. I wanna see every part of that beautiful country from Marsh to Kurdistan to Nineveh, to Basra to Mosul. It's so rich with its heritage. How is life there ?
The Iraqi people are a resistant people and have a long history that we are proud of as Arabs. My love for the Iraqi people and I hope that security and stability will return because it is a great country. 🇵🇸🇮🇶

I heard Iraqis are some of the kindest people to tourists; they would even gift their shirts on your back for you. Western media is powerful, I am a Christian, so I am glad there are videos like this that help us open our hearts and minds to our Muslim brothers.
Man, it’s crazy seeing Fallujah changed so much. It was hell when I was there in 2005. I went there as a young man with an M4 rifle. I would like to return as a tourist with a camera this time and make friends with many Iraqis. San Jose California.
I am from Fallujah, and we do not hate anyone as it is said about us, and all this is because of the politics that made the world judge Iraq without even visiting it or browsing about it, and he thought that we were dangerous, unfortunately, which made very few come to visit us, but I just say welcome to Iraq
I fought in the Battle Of Fallujah in November of 2004 with the US Army. First, I want to say, I hope all is good there in Fallujah and for the people there. I have to ask though; why were foreign fighters from Syria, Jordan and surrounding countries allowed in your city to establish a stronghold to fight against Americans. I personal saw torture devices and equipment that was used on the people of Fallujah by these terrorist. The blood of Fallujians all over the walls….. it was horrible. Why would a slight amount of Fallujians want to fight against America? We were there to help you. It was horrible watching your town have to evacuate and people leave their homes. Lines and lines of cars leaving the city. It was heartbreaking watching your city be destroyed by both sides.
The truffle grows in the desert as a result of dirt and rain, but it is not in the form of a plant, but you have to dig in order to get it, and if it is left in the ground for a long time, it becomes dust
Nice video Doug, thanks for portraying Fallujah as what it truly is rather than stereotypes from old times. I've been in this city and I fought in it when I was in the Iraqi 9th armored division, the city was truly devastated back in ISIS war, the local government has done an impressive work to rebuild it. Also watching your video made me want some Falluja Keebab lol, I think they're pretty famous for it, might go there once I'm off duty. Hope you enjoyed your visit to Iraq, you're welcome here any time.
The kama or jama is a type of wild mushroom that grows in the desert and is pretty popular in Iraq and Syria as well as some some Arabian gulf countries. It has a very distinctive taste, similar to meat and is extremely high in protein. The collectors make a hefty profit as the price gets as high as $40/KG depending on the quality and size.
All the love and respect for the nice people in the comments from all over the world, and we thank you for your good feelings towards our country, Iraq, and you should know that we are a people who love everyone and we are not racists, and we are happy that you visit us, we will be very happy
I am an american who has a paternal arabian grandfather. Iraqis are not bad people they are loving and welcoming! Growing up i used to feel so bad for these people just imagining how i would feel if somebody came to my land and invaded i would want to protect and defend ! Im glad things are much better there .
*That's was so kind from you to make a beautiful lovely images about us, cuz normally the people feel scary and uncomfortable when they hear about Iraq which its not right, sorry from my bad English and all the respect brother.*
9:30 these are not weird things that grow in the desert. These are truffles and they are delicious and not very easy to find. Thanks, Doug for doing what you do, you’re showing me places I haven’t seen in my country. I wouldn’t dare go there myself. Bless you ❤
They are indeed expensive, but he was filming in a rather poor province so the price must have been less than the prices in Baghdad for example. @@trieshardgaming
Hello Douglas. Say hello to Brandon. Nice flog and good idea to visit falloja because lts famous in America as avery dangerous city .your flog appear its safe and its people are very friendly and generous people as you saw them. Thanks doug really thank you for your support.
I have a message to the Americans: Look the reality of Iraqi people after a war since 1991 with USA.. In your media they are showing how bad we are but look and open your eyes to see how people of Iraq love Americans and all people who want to visit Iraq. We are not like other nations you know why? Because we are people from a lot of civilisations, we are people of Iraq. We are the history & we are the future. We will welcome you and show you the real hospitality Regards,
Great video and greatly appreciated by the kind generous and wonderful people of Iraq . As an Iraqi- American myself and my love for Iraq and the US - I love seeing closeness between the people of Iraq and the US and videos like this have a very positive impact. The resistance that the Iraqis showed against the US invasion is understandable- imagine Russian forces invading the USA - will the Americans resist them ? Absolutely and 100% - that is very normal . I’m sorry for all the lives lost on both sides and hope there will always be peace everywhere - wars don’t accomplish anything except produce widows and orphans. God Bless Iraq and God Bless America ! ❤️❤️❤️
If Biden declared himself autocrat for life with his son as his heir, and the Russians invaded us with the promise of restoring our elections, I would not even consider "resisting."
WOW! I was there from 2003-2006. When I was there the city was in rubble and it was absolute CHAOS! It’s crazy to see how much it has changed and evolved.
the best country in the world, went through a lot and the people never lost their kindness and hospitality! make Iraq great again!! Iraqi always loved America, there for America should support Iraq and build it again. they are better than all the other Arab countries. Iraq is the land of many civilization!
We don’t want you to rebuild our country or help us, and those Arabs you talking about are our brothers, us Iraqis don’t discriminate and love everyone except the people who come yo our country with guns and bombs
It's very comforting to hear you say Iraq has felt safe. After we withdrew and ISIS targeted the Yazidis and other ethnic groups, I got really depressed and questioned our efforts (and 2 of my deploymets) all those years. Thank you for doing this video and showing the progress and success that has eventually been made. I hope their prosperity continues.
You are welcome all over Iraq from North to South and from whatever country you are .... Anyone who wants to visit Iraq and doesn't know how؟ To communicate with any Iraqi and we will give him the best hospitality
LOVE IS RUNNING IN OUR VEINS .. WE LOVE EVERYONE DESPITE NATIONALITY, ETHNICITY OR RELIGION .. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME . ESPECIALLY IN THE MONTH OF MUHARRAM OR THE MARCH OF ARBAEEN.. ❤
Minute 09:30 you were right its type of mushrooms and it grows up by itself after it rain specially in high areas . Believe or not its very healthy and its high in fibers and protein and it tastes like beef after been cooked and its very nutritious
I am very happy for your coming to Iraq and improving Iraq's image to the American people. We love you very much. Don't care about the negative comments. They just live in the past and don't want peace.
Iraq is love, I was born there 1994 was there during war in Baghdad and left in late 2004. Man you are a good sport now in south carolina and miss Iraq. Glad you get to explore it over there
9:15 he didn't say any dirty joke , he was laughing cuz he didn't understand you and u didn't understand him ..he was confused and laughing.. and the brown potato like thing that u were holding is some kind of a mushroom , love u brother , keep up the good work
Your content is very wonderful and attracts viewers. You have different beautiful experiences as well. I am an Iraqi Arab. I love learning the English language. I always see your videos. It reminds me that you are really nice. Keep going! What do you think to go on a tour in the next video to the Baghdadi Museum?
Iraq welcomes everyone. It made me happy that you spoke about Iraq beautifully. I hope when you visit Iraq next time, visit the two provinces of Basra, because Basra is considered the most industrialized province in Iraq. Basra is very beautiful and has many attractive places. Thank you.
I enjoyed watching your video, you guys are so nice and friendly too and Iraqi people will always welcome anyone from any place on this planet as you see we are kind and worm hearted people 😅 so feel welcome to visit Iraq any time you like 😌🤍
Hi Since you are in Iraq, I advise you to visit the city of Basra , a very beautiful place for tourism ; especially during the blessed Eid al- Adha ❤ it will gain your interest and admiration. Good day for you 🥰

As OIF and OEF vet, if we started with building malls and building Disneyland Park like, we wouldn't had insurgency in the county. I was in Fallujah, during 2nd battle and I am so happy and glad to see the city is developing and people living in peace!

The satan is USA. Mujahidin still alive and watching,just prayer that Mujahidin Will comeback and destroy the all thagut in Iraq
The U.S army destroyed it
@@IRAQI_22 more accurately it is the Jews in the US government that are the problem
@danh555 yes .such as al_Qaeda and war
*That's was so kind from you to make a beautiful lovely images about us, cuz normally the people feel scary and uncomfortable when they hear about Iraq which its not right, sorry from my bad English and all the respect brother.*
9:30 these are not weird things that grow in the desert. These are truffles and they are delicious and not very easy to find.
Thanks, Doug for doing what you do, you’re showing me places I haven’t seen in my country. I wouldn’t dare go there myself.
Bless you ❤
I was going to say. Those are probably expensive truffles lmao.
They are indeed expensive, but he was filming in a rather poor province so the price must have been less than the prices in Baghdad for example. @@trieshardgaming

اكثر مدينة في العراق اتمنى زيارتها هي الفلوجة
تحياتي لأهل العراق ولأهل الفلوجة اخوكم من اليمن
Thank you very much for your kind presence, and Iraq always welcomes you
I just recently discovered this channel and I can see why he loves Iraq so much. Making me want to go so bad.
Watching from Chicago, I want to visit Iraq❤❤❤❤❤ and learn the culture and history, eat good food.
فلوجة الابطال ❤
The best person who is humble, loving, and has not changed after a month is Jog Min, who agrees with me
Doug ! All Iraqi people love your videos thank you for coming in your second country IRAQ 🇮🇶
I have a message to the Americans:
Look the reality of Iraqi people after a war since 1991 with USA..
In your media they are showing how bad we are but look and open your eyes to see how people of Iraq love Americans and all people who want to visit Iraq.
We are not like other nations you know why?
Because we are people from a lot of civilisations, we are people of Iraq.
We are the history & we are the future.
We will welcome you and show you the real hospitality
Regards,
Douglas, why don't you come to Mosul? It became the most beautiful in this period because of the modern buildings❤🇮🇶
Iraq, a beautiful country with warm friendly people and spirit mashallah
Our homes are open to everyone at any time. Welcome to Iraq
Greetings from the heart Thank you Douglas
Great video and greatly appreciated by the kind generous and wonderful people of Iraq . As an Iraqi- American myself and my love for Iraq and the US - I love seeing closeness between the people of Iraq and the US and videos like this have a very positive impact. The resistance that the Iraqis showed against the US invasion is understandable- imagine Russian forces invading the USA - will the Americans resist them ? Absolutely and 100% - that is very normal . I’m sorry for all the lives lost on both sides and hope there will always be peace everywhere - wars don’t accomplish anything except produce widows and orphans. God Bless Iraq and God Bless America ! ❤️❤️❤️
If Biden declared himself autocrat for life with his son as his heir, and the Russians invaded us with the promise of restoring our elections, I would not even consider "resisting."
This is beyond amazing!!!!! Love and respect from MN ❤️ 🇮🇶
تحياتي لأهل الانبار اهل الكرم والطيب
ماعليج زود يالطيبة ان شاء الله دائماً نكون عند حسن ظنكم بينا ❤
ثم دخل قبره . فوجد نور فقال من أين لي هاذا ألنور ؟؟ فقالوا من كثرة صلاتك على محمد وآل محمد ♡ .. عليه أفضل الصلاة والسلام ❤اللهم صل على محمد واله 🇮🇶
thank you really, Iraq welcomes you and all countries, love from Iraq to America 🇮🇶❤🇺🇸

@@Iraq_Baghdad oh , i thought you are an american.
@@7aider617 oh no i'm iraqi 😂❤🇮🇶
@@Iraq_Baghdad W YOU .
What people they are .🎉...after all they have been through too. So welcoming and genuine.
WOW! I was there from 2003-2006. When I was there the city was in rubble and it was absolute CHAOS! It’s crazy to see how much it has changed and evolved.
love to see Iraq flourishing
Welcome to Iraq and thank you for reporting everything about Iraq in a good and nice way 💖❤️
هلا وسهلا بك في العراق 🇮🇶✌️
Thank you so much for sharing this video about my country ❤ welcome again 🇮🇶
the best country in the world, went through a lot and the people never lost their kindness and hospitality! make Iraq great again!! Iraqi always loved America, there for America should support Iraq and build it again. they are better than all the other Arab countries. Iraq is the land of many civilization!
We don’t want you to rebuild our country or help us, and those Arabs you talking about are our brothers, us Iraqis don’t discriminate and love everyone except the people who come yo our country with guns and bombs
It's very comforting to hear you say Iraq has felt safe. After we withdrew and ISIS targeted the Yazidis and other ethnic groups, I got really depressed and questioned our efforts (and 2 of my deploymets) all those years. Thank you for doing this video and showing the progress and success that has eventually been made. I hope their prosperity continues.
You are welcome all over Iraq from North to South and from whatever country you are ....
Anyone who wants to visit Iraq and doesn't know how؟ To communicate with any Iraqi and we will give him the best hospitality
LOVE IS RUNNING IN OUR VEINS .. WE LOVE EVERYONE DESPITE NATIONALITY, ETHNICITY OR RELIGION .. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME . ESPECIALLY IN THE MONTH OF MUHARRAM OR THE MARCH OF ARBAEEN.. ❤
Fallujah was hell for you american soldiers
هل انت عراقي

You are Inspiring me to return. I was there 2006-2007 as an advisor. I made good friends which I miss to this day. I hope to see a few of them again.

Minute 09:30 you were right its type of mushrooms and it grows up by itself after it rain specially in high areas . Believe or not its very healthy and its high in fibers and protein and it tastes like beef after been cooked and its very nutritious

شكرا لاكن من انت
I am very happy for your coming to Iraq and improving Iraq's image to the American people. We love you very much. Don't care about the negative comments. They just live in the past and don't want peace.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 welcome any time to Iraq 🇮🇶 Douglas 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Iraq is love, I was born there 1994 was there during war in Baghdad and left in late 2004. Man you are a good sport now in south carolina and miss Iraq. Glad you get to explore it over there

All the love and respect to you, my brother. We thank you for showing this picture of Iraq. Thank you ❤
Iraq welcomes everyone. It made me happy that you spoke about Iraq beautifully. I hope when you visit Iraq next time, visit the two provinces of Basra, because Basra is considered the most industrialized province in Iraq. Basra is very beautiful and has many attractive places. Thank you.
I am from Iraq. Can we get to know each other? I am Haider from Baghdad. I am 20 years old and single 🥺

Doug, Chima are truffles, specifically Desert Truffles, as the name implies they grow in the desert, they are pretty rare and only available for short periods. Iraqis love them. My family would wait for truffle season each year to enjoy them for that short time
