I just wanna say the number of units involved in the battle is greatly underestimated. My fathers unit, attached to the army’s 1st ID, was running QRF for a few Marine battalions throughout the battle, so much so that they spent 14 days straight driving around the city from engagement to engagement rescuing marines from gunfights, escorting wrecker trucks, relieving combat ineffective units, etc. and the only sleep they got for those 14 days was whatever they can get while driving between gunfights. As valiantly as the marines fought, they were heavily outnumbered, outgunned, and very unprepared and were constantly being rescued by not just my father’s army unit, but many other army units and SOF teams as well. IIRC, they lost every single AAVP7 they drove into the city, most of them simply from small arms fire.

Hey Grif, I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I will admit that there are some I skip due to the subject nature being completely out of my interest but I try to come back to them. I just appreciate the videos and especially the way you articulate the info. The intro of this video in particular gives me goosebumps. I was only 9-10 years old at the time of this battle and I’m not sure why but the pictures I’ve seen from these days of the GWoT are seared into my consciousness. The intro of this one really put me in the shoes of “the point man”, from the last deep breath taken as he prepares himself outside the door, to the tap on his shoulder from his squad mate letting him know it’s time, to the dump of adrenaline that he gets as he breaches the door and clears the threshold. I find myself now as a 28 year old trying to seek out and find documentaries and testimonials from the young men (and women) who were there in Iraq and Afghanistan. This battle in particular really strikes me as it was the bloodiest battle of the Iraq war for the US and because a large bulk of the fighting in this battle was done by young Marines and Paratroopers as opposed to Special Operators who were more trained and more experienced to what a modern, urban war against a fanatical insurgent enemy looked like.

German generals (By vast majority) didn't give two shits about Nazi ideology. Anyone with actual sway over the war effort outside of Hitler didn't actually care about Nazism and instead focused solely on "winning" and their own careers to the detriment of the war in its entirety. Guderian is a perfect example of this shoot the bigger plan in the foot so I can get a step ahead mentality.

Yes, Al-Qaeda leaders and ISIS by in large were full of awful awful people, but not every single person on their side = evil soulless monster and to view them that way is just to justify our killing of them, just how it is so easy for us now to consider the Wehrmacht to be just like the Waffen-SS, which they were not, just how the red army was not all like the NKVD in later war periods.

I fought in Fallujah from being part of the assaulting force to the very end when we pulled out in January, I was with 1st Bat 3rd Marines (1/3)… the public thinks the fighting ended in November but we were fighting well into January, the US Military was quick to say the fighting was over but it wasn't. We were told 4 days of fighting but were there for 2+ months still fighting insurgents, we were all wearing desert clothing and desert boots without warming layers so were even fighting in freezing conditions and in freezing rain as the battle continued, so it was miserable conditions in everyway. My unit showed up in Iraq as liberators in October of 2004 and when we pulled out of Fallujah in January for 2005 we left as occupiers. There is a lot more to say about Fallujah and the fighting but this is just a comment for this video... Great work on this Fallujah historical piece.

There's a game called "Six days in Fallujah" which attempts to capture the horror of US soldiers trying to breach and clear these houses. It also features testimonies from soldiers who were there, in the form of short clips between missions.

The T-80 underperforming so badly that high level Russian military officials openly talked about scrapping the entire design due to for instance a catastrophic weakness in parts of its armor that the designers said would be accounted for by certain internal components.
Russian infantry didn't do too much better. There was a battle for the cities train depot and marshalling yard in which I want to say an entire battalion of Russian troops were wiped out to a man and numerous other units were savaged by chechen red army veterans from the soviet war in afghanistan.

One of my childhood best friends is a combat veteran who fought in this battle. One day after a few drinks by the fire he opened up about his experience in Fallujah and how fighting these insurgents was something none of them could prepare for. He said some of them were high on drugs and could take multiple rounds without stopping. At one point a SAW gunner ripped a insurgents leg off and he remembers the guy staggering back up on one leg screaming at them while continuing to fire his weapon. He said everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing until the insurgent finally collapsed in the street from blood loss. Thankfully my friend made it out and now has a beautiful family but the PTSD still effects him everyday.

My mom's birthday was during that fight and of course it was my turn to be on point that day. My nerves were fine until then and I was absolutely terrified that I'd wind up dead on my mom's birthday. No matter what I absolutely could not allow that to happen.

We didn't assault through every house by the way. Like you said those houses were essentially giant bunkers so if we ran into a fighting position and the Army was around we'd have a Bradley open up with it's 25mm cannon, one of our tanks put a shell into it or we'd launch a SMAW through a window and the pressure from the explosion would kill just about everyone in there if it didn't just outright collapse the place.

Honestly... the middle eastern guys we were fighting were a joke. Don't get me wrong, they could still kill you with a lucky shot but those guys watched too many 80s movies because they fired everything from the hip. No, the guys we had to worry about were the Chechens. Those guys were well trained, had at least a decade's worth of experience and were there specifically to die fighting.

That's a good and historical video produced and uploaded by the Armchair Historian. That for a good change: talks about real history there. Even thought it is not a story about any screaming donzel to be rescued, or any chap riding the expected white horse across the a plaine.
With a different river on each side of the city of Fallujah, the Amarcan napolionic daydreamers were in for a bitter and sower taste of what waging an unnecessary brings to their army-men.
The cartoonish representation of the way that the story of the 2004 year, battle for the control of Fallujah, in Iraq unfolded; was very well made for that video. Still, the content script there: is ill informed. Because the city of Fallujah, never in history fell into a any similar full control of the Amaracan army at all. The way that battle for Fallujah unfolded was that the Amaracans got a hold of 60% of the city, then of the city 10% was just the wobbling front line and 30% remained under the control of the Iraqi (insurgents) themselfs. Being that in the end: the Amaracan ground commanders, had to negotiate a truce with the Fallujahns, in a manner a just like in the Asterix, citadel's of Gaul comic book original fictional story.
Since then, the Amaracan high command just mowed through their then remaining conflict dimmed two war; and also made a very disgusted face: at the possibility of sparking any other unnecessary war, ever again.
So keep that good work of posting actually real history content, and tidy up that script regarding: whitch was the point of the reeled matter there.
