You'd still have the same freedoms you have now. Iraq and Afghanistan was a waste of human life. Totally unnecessary. Just look at Iraq and Afghanistan now. Is it better than before? Far from it. Hell, the Taliban are back in power! So yeah, sacrafices for nothing.

Great story! Thank you for your service from Canada 🇨🇦

[@d.rcarrera6599]

I found this interview interesting. I also took notice, either he was a little nervous or in describing his experience in Iraq & Afghanistan, it may have brought on some anxiety. I also read Jessica Lynch's book, I am a Soldier Too. Part of her Supply Company got lost, including and especially their radio communication. She had lost her closest battle buddy, Native American woman, when they were ambushed by Iraqis. At the hospital, the doctor who treated and helped her also worked hard at getting her rescued. On our American side, there were doubts and delays in believing certain Iraqis were helping her. There were medical staff helping for her rescue. Regarding her being sexually assaulted, even Jessica stated it never happened. She did have to have several back surgeries and finally completed her university degree. Yes, she too is a Soldier.

Awesome video my sister served in the Ohio on Army National Guard and she served in Iraq from 03 to 04. She was a 88 Mike transportation.

[@iCXRUX]

I was an EMT for 6yrs and ran calls everyday with PD and SO. The anxiety of dispatch dropping a call on you is definitely real. Especially when it's a GSW or MVA. I ran so many cardiac arrests i stopped counting. The stigma is real. Like "this is what I signed up for" so you just do the job. I decided to step away after that 6yrs and focus on myself but I miss it everyday. I feel ya, brother! Thank you for your service. Both military and in law enforcement.

I'm a US Army Valor w/ V-device winner from Iraq. Where & when did you earn your Battlefield Valor? I earned mine after an ISIL Sucide Bomber drove his truck through our secured perimeter simultaneously detonating a 1,300lb improvised explosive killing and injuring dozens of US Army Mechanics and other Air Cavalry Employees! We lost comms, so. Me being a my brothers keeper. I ran into enemy fire to try and start-up an inoperable electric generator. At the time I thought the batteries were the problem. So, I in the heat of battle while getting shot. I made a run to where I stashed batteries for an emergency. Batteries weren't helping that destroyed generator. So, we found a different comms device. Then I being a Trained US Navy Corpsman furthered my honorable situation by providing aid to every injured or deceased soldier at that FOB. I then furthered myself more by getting an AC-130 GunShip Mates Position. That's where and how I came in contact with Paul Parkhurst. That's also where I started having an issue with his illegal involvement in US Military conflict. I say such because I grew up with The Hurst Family who owns Hurst Automotive Parts. They are all legally blind. As you can see. That guy in the video isn't!

[@peggybrown9694]

I guess you told the truth on your dream sheet, bro. LOL They always station you as far away from you desired duty station as possible. I requested Oceania, VA and NAS Jax but got sent to Whidbey Is WA which turned out to be a really good thing. Loved it there.

My only criticism is that corpsman hate to be called medics.

@@chrisc2683its not clickbait all the interviews he just picks a part of the story to use in the title. All the interviews are long form and its hard to fit everything into a title so he just picks one interesting thing. Because of the long form I don't consider it clickbait.

zero integration! I get that, after military I was contractor in middle east then couple years in Africa for ISR platforms.
