If that’s what soldiers did in front of a camera, imagine what they did away from them
Just a correction. It's not the "Iraq war", it's the "Invasion of Iraq".
As an American I’m so embarrassed of those army soldiers shooting and crushing that car of people just trying to survive. Shame on them!!!
I’d take a Frontline Documentary over a Hollywood Blockbuster anytime
US soldiers terrorizing locals and laughing about it. What a disgrace.
Kept me glued for an hour and a half. Kudos to the team👌🙏
And not one of these war criminals will ever be indicted.
There is so much to be learned from this on so many levels.
After watching Frontline’s 4 part docu-series on the ‘08 economic collapse last weekend as the collapse of the Afghan government was happening live (2021), I think I might need a week or two before I can bare to watch this one. I was in middle school and high school when all this was going on so I didn’t fully comprehend the gravity of what was happening. Looking at these major historical moments from 1998-2012 as a full grown adult has ultimately made me feel disgusted and saddened. I cannot express enough how grateful I am that we have this type of journalism available to us. I hope and pray that we never repeat these mistakes. I truly want better for my children.
Its been 21 years, i was a kid back then and the pain will be there for the next tens of years to come
So, basically, one Iraqi ambitious man used US to get rid of his political opponent.
“Stealing is wrong, but you can’t understand me, so I’m going to destroy your car.” They may not understand you, but they’re going to understand how to hate now
This is the best show out there.
When US soldiers arrived in Iraq, they were told to protect the Iraqi 's oil fields were their first priority, NOT WMD.
There's something just as barbaric crushing that guys taxi with a 20 ton tank as the human carnage we typically picture. All over 80 bucks worth of wood, just to get by. That scene to me is really emblematic of our time in the middle east: punishing the inhabitants with an oil-fueled, raging overkill, with no regard for human dignity
Let's gooo Frontline. Can't wait for it to start.
The title should be Liars, Thieves and War.
You put a country under sanctions for decades then put an embargo on its only resource then you walk in one day and criticize the dilapidated infrastructure!! Where is the logic there ??
Difficult to watch this video without feeling sorry for the ordinary people of Iraq who suffer the consequences of US policy on regime change.
