This is why I haven’t listened. I was alive and following the stories. But I i will be listening to Season 2 .
Ugh I’ll never forget that night. It was heartbreaking. Bombs dropping looking like fireworks in LA for the 4th with no bombs coming back. And then the pictures the next few days of devastated families in ruins. And then it just continued...
I remember turning on the local news and every night the first story was how many troops died in the fight for “The War on Terror.” And you knew that meant ten times as many Iraqis died. And they would never give those numbers. And it wasn’t troops we were killing, it was “insurgents.” Aka regular ass people.
If it’s bothering you too much, just put it away. It’s not worth the anguish. We murdered 2.5 million people for no reason. Any stories told about what happened are going to be brutal.
I remember the first night of bombs dropped on Baghdad they literally just played still footage of the entire city getting bombed with no commentary i was pretty young but even then I could tell it was insane. Thousands of people dying so we can watch these fireworks.
Found it still just as surreal that this was wholesome family entertainment https://youtu.be/NktsxucDvNI
Shock and Awe was the worst thing this country has done during my life. And we celebrated it like it was the Olympics. Disgusting.
All the chuds and some liberals who supported the war used to get upset that we didn’t throw ticker tape parades like we used to for the troops in WWII.
It absolutely can't be understated how celebrated murdering Iraqis was. When I get off work I'll dig up news coverage of the time for zoomers to understand how fucking elated Americans were to massacre Iraqis.
Jesus christ all the lights were still on. All the street lights and the buildings. They didn't know we were coming. They didn't turn the lights out.
Having lived through that time at a formative period in my life, it just hits too close to home
