From what I've read it comes down to the 9/11 conspiracy nutcases. TH-cam went overboard and deemed 9/11 a hot topic. I've also heard some group of Karen moms were against 9/11 vids I'm not sure which is true or if both are.
Hi Griffin and Team! Thank you for making well researched and quality content. It is horrible that TH-cam is censoring your videos. Having to blip 9/11 is very sad.

Given how they got demonetization for using 9/you know what, it might be better not to use it in the comments. TH-cam has previously censored channels over their comment section.
@@ernestogastelum9123 I was a freshman in high school when it happened so it was the impact of talking to someone who was my age at that time that was impactful. He was smart enough to realize that the 2020 events would be his generation's version of the same cultural scarring.
I was in Operation Anaconda and I still remembered those dam mountains and our team constantly maneuvering from position to position and readjusting to all the ever changing events on the ground. Good video and thank you.
Looking forward for the second part, especially knowing retrospectively how eventually things in Afghanistan almost went back to square one for most of locals. And the censorship here on TH-cam of an educational video on such important historical event that defined the geopolitical situation of the last two decades (even if it may not be YT censoring it directly, demonetization based on advertisers' requierements practically achieve the same goal) says a lot about the current state of things.
I know two men from my home town who served in Afghanistan. They were brothers, the elder served in logistics while the younger was a paratrooper who did his fair share of combat missions. They don't talk much about the war but watching this video gives me some what of an idea of what the war was possibly like for them. Thanks for helping me fill in the gaps, Griffin.

I have an Internet friend from Canada who was in Afghanistan, told me "The war was a lie" and that he usually "Got himself drunk" on purpose while he was there. Seen some atrocities from local tribals that he was not allowed to intervene while he was patrolling, think he mentioned forced child marriage. The war made him disillusioned with Politicians and any talks about "war"
Not exactly sure what you are talking about since it's virtually impossible to change the mindset of a people in 20 years never mind in a country with only a quarter of the population literate. At least Al-Qaeda is no longer a major threat and thousands of Afghans have found better homes elsewhere.
Ya, it's fairly messed up. I recall a story from American soldiers where they were at an Afghan army base as advisors, and the commander would have young boys brought to his quarters at night for reasons you can probably guess. Americans were specifically told not to get involved, let alone bring it up. War involves making lots of concessions in order to work together. It's just unfortunate that the Afghanistan the West tried to build was disgusting AND incompetent.
Happy to get to finish this one, even if it is a "cleaned up" version however we mustn't accept the censorship of our history. Keep making great content!

As per usual Griffin, your videos are both entertaining and educational, I'm so sorry that they are censoring you. Education needs to be embraced, not suppressed!
I get chilling vibes with how similar the news commentary of Ukraine is to how they reported on Afghanistan and Iraq. War has been commercialised into entertainment
@@user-op8fg3ny3jwhen has war not been treated like entertainment, hell, it used to be worse, families turning up to have a picnic and watch Napoleonic armies slaughter each other. When droves of young men volunteered to fight in world war 1, they weren’t doing it because the media gave them a good idea of the horrors of war.
@@user-op8fg3ny3j no, absolutely not, its awful that we treat conflict and death the way we do, I was agreeing with ya, sorry if it came out more confrontational :)
Thank you for explaining this. I was too young to understand what was happening at the time, and you would be surprised how difficult it is to find someone who will explain it since it seems like the country wants to collectively forget about the invasion.
Well said. I got out of the US Army in 1998 (Served 8 years), and even when I tried to pay attention to this conflict, Information just seemed scarce, or wasn't reported. I think, as with much of the public, for this conflict, we just forgot about it.
I also high recommend the documentary "20 years in Afghanistan: The untold story" which exposed lots of the crimes and human right violation that was committed there.
@@drewstar412 that's the sad part, a lot of the troops didn't want to be there but they felt the brunt of war due to the destructive actions of our governments.
@content_enjoyer4458 They enlisted thinking they will be called to defend their country; not invade another sovereign nation. So did Ukraine bring the invasion upon itself too, hmm?
I’ve seen some creators do some study on the back end too and have better luck avoiding any crawl censors using things like “UBL” instead of Bin Laden as well as 11th of September. Gets the point across without sacrificing the message or censoring too much. Just food for thought for future . Hope this keeps it steam!

It is really sad how people are not aware of the crime commited in Afganistan by the US. There is a 40 min long video which is so dusturbing called "20 years in Afghanistan: The untold story" which exposed lots of the crimes and human right violation that was committed there.
Agree. Sadly, it took the dust to settle, over 10 years of this invasion(which, I applaud The Armchair Historian in correctly labeling this action/conflict), for the mass of Americans, to realize, this action, was wrong. I protested the invasion from the get go, and got a lot of hate. Like I said, took around 10 years, and a lot of people didn't want to argue after that.

My uncle fought in Afghanistan, love to see someone discussing the war
My father did too. He was a navigator on a strategic bomber.
@@kristaskrastina2863 Thank you to both of them for their service!
@@averagegamer6912you misspelled condemn them for their war crimes and terrorism
@@xp7575 disliked, not all soldiers did this and never been done by choice or by it being personal.
@@MrCRANE-kj8lq Exactly.
Great video, thanks for the work!
Glad this is back up, keep up the good work!
As per usual Griffin, your videos are both entertaining and educational, I'm so sorry that they are censoring you. Education needs to be embraced, not suppressed!
A very important war. Sad to see it somewhat forgotten now, I hope we can continue to discuss it.
Hard to believe that was 22 years ago. I was 13 and remember watching the news daily to see what was happening.
I get chilling vibes with how similar the news commentary of Ukraine is to how they reported on Afghanistan and Iraq. War has been commercialised into entertainment
@@user-op8fg3ny3jwhen has war not been treated like entertainment, hell, it used to be worse, families turning up to have a picnic and watch Napoleonic armies slaughter each other. When droves of young men volunteered to fight in world war 1, they weren’t doing it because the media gave them a good idea of the horrors of war.
@@bi_mercantilism and that makes it right? Sounds like an appeal to history fallacy
@@user-op8fg3ny3j no, absolutely not, its awful that we treat conflict and death the way we do, I was agreeing with ya, sorry if it came out more confrontational :)
@@bi_mercantilism oh, sorry. No, that's my bad then that I misunderstood you.
I love these videos! History just never be forgotten or suppressed!
you should cover the boer wars next
OK let’s hope this video doesn’t get taken down this time 😅
Excellent video! As an Afghan American, your videos on Afghanistan have been very informative and useful for me. Can’t wait for more great content!
@jackylynnitalians are not American?😂😂😂
@jackylynnA joke has to be funny or make sense. Yours was neither
Thank you for explaining this. I was too young to understand what was happening at the time, and you would be surprised how difficult it is to find someone who will explain it since it seems like the country wants to collectively forget about the invasion.
Well said. I got out of the US Army in 1998 (Served 8 years), and even when I tried to pay attention to this conflict, Information just seemed scarce, or wasn't reported. I think, as with much of the public, for this conflict, we just forgot about it.
I also high recommend the documentary "20 years in Afghanistan: The untold story" which exposed lots of the crimes and human right violation that was committed there.
@@drewstar412 that's the sad part, a lot of the troops didn't want to be there but they felt the brunt of war due to the destructive actions of our governments.
@@killingspeerx I dont care
@content_enjoyer4458 They enlisted thinking they will be called to defend their country; not invade another sovereign nation.
So did Ukraine bring the invasion upon itself too, hmm?
TH-cam sucks, this is such a good video.
@ArmchairHistorian
We love the content. I love sharing you with family and friends when discussing anything with history!
Another great video! Keep up the work!
Yes finally!!! Thank you Griffin keep up the great work!!!!!
Thank you!
I understand TH-cam's intent but they really need to be willing to work with channels like this that display a balanced display of historical events
These videos are a reminder to watch historical TH-camrs uploads the second you get the notification
Thanks for the incredible work you do
It's a shame that youtube isn't appreciating such excelent quality videos
I’ve seen some creators do some study on the back end too and have better luck avoiding any crawl censors using things like “UBL” instead of Bin Laden as well as 11th of September. Gets the point across without sacrificing the message or censoring too much. Just food for thought for future . Hope this keeps it steam!
Much better than more WW2 content, more of this please!
Fantastic work!
Great content, I sure hope nothing bad would ever happened to this video by TH-cam moderation!
This video is full of lies that cover up the war crimes the US committed, Afghanistan offered to turn Bin Laden over to the same court that tried the Nazis after WW2 but Bush chose to invade in spite of that cause our goal was to stop th Taliban from destroying the heroin crops being grown there by American drug dealers, everyone should report it for misinformation

Stunning moments of animation direction, as usual ❤
Amazing video, bravo. Please consider doing more videos about Afghanistan. The three anglo-afghan wars, the different steps of the soviet-afghan war and the different periods of the US-Afghan war. All these are absolutely fascinating and the world needs to know and understand.
We appreciate the work you and your team put in keep making more amazing videos!!
Thank you for the perseverance in the current youtube landscape, your content is more educational then the majority of actual school classes at this point
love it awesome content!
Thanks!

Sorry to hear about all the hassle you’re having with YouTubs; it’s amazing how much effort this site goes to to stifle history based content creators
It's been annoying man, but at least it's not nearly as bad as it was a few years ago. We'll get through it.

Awesome video!
Great video armchair! Glad to see you keep your head up against these censorship authoritarians. Keep up the good work!
I like the animation Griffin, keep it up! How long does a video take to make?
Well done Armchair team. I subscribed to patreon to help handle the blow to income demonetization can do. Love the content
I really enjoy this more modern content. I feel like ww2 is a very popular era but a lot of things after that are very minimally covered.
Can u guys please make a WW2 from dutch perspective? There is more to it than you think. Congrats on 2 mil btw.
Love your videos, sucks that you are getting demonetised.😢

Great content as usual, it is very sad that censorship punishes history.
Man I love how well animated and full of memes and references your guys’s videos always are. Great job talking about [ ] the war on [ ] and the United States invasion of [ ]!
Another great video
Keep up the good, unbiased work, regardless of what TH-cam does to you!
"unbiased work" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love how you can teach history in a modern society
Feels like only yesterday that history was the present. Crazy how it's been twenty years already since the invasion
The news of today will be the history books of tomorrow.
Yes
With Pacman animations
It is really sad how people are not aware of the crime commited in Afganistan by the US.
There is a 40 min long video which is so dusturbing called "20 years in Afghanistan: The untold story" which exposed lots of the crimes and human right violation that was committed there.
okay I'm convinced your a bot
Let's also look at the crimes committee by the taliban🤡
Agree. Sadly, it took the dust to settle, over 10 years of this invasion(which, I applaud The Armchair Historian in correctly labeling this action/conflict), for the mass of Americans, to realize, this action, was wrong. I protested the invasion from the get go, and got a lot of hate. Like I said, took around 10 years, and a lot of people didn't want to argue after that.
@@drewstar412 we should've done better in Afghanistan
