Traumatic First-Hand Accounts From The War In Afghanistan

[@larmitage7755]

My heart bleeds listening to this documentary. I feel sorry for all the brave soldiers who fought this war and gave up their lives for freedom. You are all heroes. God bless you.❤🙏

[@jessetapia3996]

The thing that sucks is that the US created this situation and will never admit it even though there's so much evidence

[@thomashallu6315]

I wonder how ordinary Afghanis are traumatized and who will tell their story!

[@ryanphelan6861]

Afghanistan has resisted British empire 3-4 times, soviet's and Americans. Historically the attitude has been entertaining at your own risk as land is not conquerable with tribals. These different factions fight and war regionally constantly so when an outside invader enters they band all the tribes together in a unified fighting force. I.s. knew this it's why their approach was as it was. They knew that if seen as occupation like Iraq....would have been attacked and picked off like soviet's. British was insanity doing same thing over and over expecting different results. Afghan resistance is no joke. Taliban just laid low and even agreed with Americans to resume when void was created. All sadly predictable historically. Special forces operations would have been way to go with hindsight obviously looking at "war on terror" or Iraq/Afghanistan

[@Knight_of_NI]

And we dishonored them all by how we left 😡🤦🏻‍♂️😡

[@jeremyhansen8186]

I hear almost every day, "if they want war, come over here and I'll be your huckleberry", or some variation of that. I just want to say, you don't want war, ever. Where are your loved ones going to escape war if it happens here on American soil? I'm stunned every time I hear that.

Whatever one thinks of the necessity of this war, to leave a one sentence hateful comment on this video is a disservice to those who served and did so with honest intentions. Their sacrifice, worth it or not, came from the highest sense of morality and the sincere wish to protect freedom in this world. I thus wish to thank those who served in Afghanistan. Your sacrifice has enabled, though perhaps in a small way, my freedom when I was only 14 years old. However history will judge on the war itself, I will forever be thankful to those who served. With the kindest regards, from the Netherlands.

[@JackBQuick79]

From a neighbor here in Michigan, pretty much Canada, thank you for having our backs in time of need. I feel like if any 2 nations should be allies, it stands to reason the good people of Canada would be our 1st choice . However, I understand 1:51:40 the outside looking in we must appear to be a broken nation. We are. Politically, we are autistic. Buy bare with us. We the people have taken back once before, and I promise we will again.

[@magnusaugustus]

Great doc thanks, greetings from brazil

[@heyhandersen5802]

If the accounts of the Russian solders, also defeated in Afghanistan, had been reviewed in advance, they'd known better than to get involved there. The Russians also thought air-power would allow them to win. The Russians were chased out; didn't pack up and go. So were the allied "NATO" powers. The purpose of the mission was a recon-in-force or more to the point -- a propaganda offensive-- or more to the point a gross expenditure of money that should have been spent on social programs in Canada. There was never any chance of colonizing Afghanistan. Colonization died after the first WW and that's where it should stay. The impression one gets from listening to these people-- is that there was no clear mission goal, they all say something different. The only thing that seems persistent is a revision of the language-- "civilian rebuilding team" "free medical care" (no paid by Canadian citizens). At the end, we are to believe we made things better for them. The people are now x10 times worse off then before we went there. We helped very view of our employees--who were captured and killed later on.

[@Vlad-fm3gk]

Except someone gave Afghanistan MANPADS in 80s. If Russia was cynical enough to do that when US was there the war would have been over in half the time ans double the casualties

[@DawnieG]

They knew but they thought they were better. And maybe they are, but not good enough to fight a gorilla war with motive related to region in a country far away from home.

[@jaydenjeffries412]

Where did spending all the time to type that out get you? Did the 11 likes help you feel better about the situation?

[@jimparsons9454]

It's the hubris for me. Everyone thinks they can win where others have failed but never learn the lessons of the past. As a veteran myself, I can say this war was a waste of treasure and blood all for just one man.

Another Bush mess. Just like his daddy.

[@c1ph3rpunk]

@@JonathanH1253billions spent, thousands harmed and it STILL came down to a couple special operation units with help from The Company. My money is on the theory that those same operators could have done it without the regular Army (and Marines) in combat operations. Then, the entire thing was completely wasted by leaving the way they did. That’s what REALLY moves it over the edge of WTF. So yes, large scale action was completely unnecessary.

[@Bear15780]

​@@c1ph3rpunk definitely. But the military contractors, the CIA and wall street couldn't have made a fortune "nation building" if they did that.
