From a person who was there, fighting for freedom.
This is a story we didn't here over here.

Skip the intro, start at 6:30.

Full documentary: Fear Not the Path of Truth.

This board is nothing if not for the sharing of information. I hope you take the time to view both.

Deception or not, it was still one hell of a battle. One for the books.

Watching some of it but the host has lost a lot of respect from me only 1:22 in talking about the 24 years of conflict in the region being remarkable to him. Like the conflict in that region started with Operation Desert Shield/desert storm.

Yeah a lot of BS "built in draft" BS. They could have learned a trade and not gone or wanted to go to college.

6 minutes in and can't listen to the BS anymore.

Not watching all that shite cause I'm at work. But I fought in that battle so if you have any real questions I'll answer them without political bias.

I think you should talk to GT23. As the years go on our chance to talk to people who were directly involved in Fallujah is only going to get smaller.

I am always skeptical of documentaries, especially of ones that I find interesting. I was not involved in the 2nd battle of Fallujah, but there are some things I take issue with concerning claims of a de facto draft and birth defects. One of those statements is an outright lie (the de facto draft) and I haven't really bought off on the birth defects argument.

Either way, good post with potential to get much better.

You have people on this very board who were there (not me - I was in another crappy part of that country). If you have questions, ask them.

I've been listening for a few minutes and already spotted some flat out falsehoods (al Awlaki in Iraq?).
