2 місяці томуJay Dorleus, an Iraq War veteran, looks at how the Iraq War is portrayed in movies and TV shows.
He looks at the realism of sniper battles in Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" (2014), starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller; "The Wall" (2017), starring John Cena and Aaron Taylor-Johnson; and "Green Zone" (2010), starring Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, and Brendan Gleeson. He discusses his own experience finding and disposing of IEDs when watching "The Hurt Locker" (2008), starring Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Guy Pearce; Denzel Washington's "A Journal for Jordan" (2021), starring Michael B. Jordan; and "Cherry" (2021), starring Tom Holland. He examines how PTSD is portrayed in "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" (2016), starring Joe Alwyn, Vin Diesel, and Kristen Stewart. He explains what urban warfare in Iraq was like, as seen in "Stop-Loss" (2008), starring Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt; and "Generation Kill" (2008), starring Alexander Skarsgård. Finally, he breaks down the infamous "Triangle of Death," as portrayed in "War Dogs" (2016), starring Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, and Ana de Armas.

Vets seem to rarely have anything good to say about the Hurt Locker. Interesting how it was so critically acclaimed but seems to have missed the mark on military realism for the most part. Also shoutout to Jay for being on this episode! He didn't mention it in the intro but he was Special Forces (aka Green Beret), his videos are worth a watch too.
@dmcgee3 2 місяці тому
Well critically acclaimed by film critics. And for a movie with a $15 million budget they did a good job, albeit not a realistic job. Also a lot of the hype was the usual Oscars circle jerk, Kathryn Bigalow was the first female to win best director and I believe also beat her ex husband James Cameron who was up for Avatar. The academy really wanted to show how inclusive they are. And as far as directing of a movie she certainly deserved it over Avatar. But back to the point the screenplay was written by a journalist imbedded with troops for 2 weeks. Same guy also wrote Zero Dark Thirty, and apparently the story in the video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

love my sappers. (referring to PTSD clip in any considered low to advanced stages) good to see you (who ever the speaker is) keeping composure when being shown all these flashes of triggering clips (p.c) clips. i hope you were able to decompress and gather yourself before being left to your own mechanisms to make it home or wherever you had to go to get home alone safe and sound. i know all to well being shown flashes of war clips and battle damage and asked to identifying and explaining in barney style terms to people never having being there having to re-lase your boots and baby-sit reliving in detail actions taken on combatants (direct/indirect) stream line personally experienced sustained visible/no visible injuries and brothers who paid the ultimate respect during deployments and after reintegration that you've witnessed at a young age and re-lived yearly after at least 6-8 months between another round of 12-15 month rotations just to be told your time is up thank you and sent on your way with a breathing exercise or a thanks for sharing and a cautious unsure approach to a hand shake. those First steps outside are so different and the air doesn't even smell the same when you see people just going about their normal days with minimal attention to detail and that initial alone time sitting by yourself in you vehicle is a blessing to eventually come around from and to regaining the suppression of any first thought urges. Replacing images of war with images of family ,friends, priorities, obligations, and remembrance honoring ones lost that you continue to live selflessly and hopefully gives answers to not immediately drive to the nearest watering hole or dive bar and do stupid stuff because of displaced aggression,depression,or aggression. i applaud your growth, you learning from your experiences good and losing your freedoms you've fought so hard for and get back in the fight confidently displaying growth and maturity. and for anyone else watching and possibly struggling , drill in the understanding that you're not alone and nothing is impossible.

1-8 Cav here, I was a tanker in Baghdad for about 2 1/2 years over seas and the only movie I've seen about my conflict that really impresses me was Sand Castles. Some urban ambush stuff I've dealt with many times they do quite well there. And yeah we did a lot of our work in trucks just like any grunt. Tanks were used about 25% of the time on missions. American Sniper does a good job of getting the look right though. No question there that's good attention to detail. My big beef with movies about our recent conflicts is mostly that they are set in such rural circumstances, and I've never seen war from the countryside, only in highly populated areas. And it simply looks different than what you usually see portrayed in film. It's not very exciting just having a roadside bomb explode with no movement to contact. Or evading a rooftop ambush and retuning later with a battalion or brigade element. So the movies that do show those types of things tend to be shown from POVs I'm not familiar with, like helicopters or EOD. Long story short, we saw a lot of war but actually did very little shooting. And people don't want to see that very much. We had to be very careful about returning fire and our enemies were very keen to not be found, so the name of the game was just staying alive and making sure our responses were fast and no one panics.

@@Vivi2372 Any war is one of choice, but this is the wrong framing. The question wasn’t to invade by an arbitrary date or let stability reign. The sanctions regime was actively collapsing, thanks to countries like Jordan, France, Germany, and Russia. Had it collapsed entirely, Saddam Hussein could have rebuilt his weapons programs. In some ways, of course, there is always a choice. In this case, then, the choice was to constrain Saddam or allow the restoration of his power. The status quo was not an option. Bush didn't lie. Bush (and Vice President Dick Cheney) read the intelligence presented them. Sometimes, that intelligence was wrong. The problem wasn’t Bush-era politicization of intelligence. The problem was more systematic and, as the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency sought to deflect blame, it remains unresolved. The core problem is that much of the Iraq-era intelligence rested on either signals intelligence (e.g. intercepted phone calls) or human intelligence (e.g. debriefing defectors). Hussein had bluffed even his own people about having weapons of mass destruction. That meant that generals speaking to each other on the telephone might make reference to a capability they believed Iraq had and debriefs of defectors deemed not to be deceptive reinforced this claim, because the defectors also believed Saddam’s propaganda. How to avoid multiple streams of bad intelligence each reinforcing each other? Lost in the blame game is the fact that there still is no answer.
@erikfldt390 Місяць тому
Nice commentary. Glad they got a combat engineer instead of EOD, probably because they'd have to wait 12 more hours for EOD to show up. I think the biggest thing Hollywood misses is the paranoia of what happens next with IEDs and the endless loop of trying to outsmart insurgents. I haven't seen that depicted well enough. Not to mention they always have unarmored trucks in the movies like it's still 2003. By 2004 or 2005, Humvees had tons of modified armor, the Dukes and Rhino systems, and weighed as much as a bus despite being a third the size. They also never really show the damage a 50 cal can do and how loud it is, especially when you're in the trucks.

He's correct 5 to 10 meters grenade distance 360 and no wedge or staggered formation has slow as route clearing and we fell behind we never tried to go ahead or turn sometimes it would be literally 5-6 extra hours

EOD grunts are a different breed, they go into a situation KNOWING things ain't right, and they have to un-f*&k things so the rest of us can get thru. I hold them in the same level of respect as the 160th SOAR chopper jockeys, those guys were utterly fearless when it came to getting us out of nasty situations and as long as I live, if I run into a Nightstalker, they will NEVER pay a cent for booze. Sua Sponte brothers, 30 years later I still miss that life, as much as it sucked at times.

What bothers me in movies is when I see them shooting in full automatic. That is not how it work. 100 percent of time you should be shooting in semi. It's suppose to be a precision weapon. Also you should only be shooting when you have a target in your sight picture

I get farming octopus, If we want to save them then why not farm them. If we didn't then we would fish them to death. Sure if we ban it doesn't mean China or another country will ban it too. But if we farm it, it may be a better life and cheaper for the economy. Idk the economic perspective but there are pros and cons to everything. Just because we choose not to eat octopus doesn't mean the rest of the world does.

Many times I watched a war movie, I thought that doesn't make sense, especially the over fire and the shooting of snipers from the out field. I feel better now that my confusions were actually understandable.

I was pretty disappointed with 'American Sniper'. When he called his wife on a Satellite phone in the middle of gunfight, I was like, "Yeah, this movie sucks."

Every time I watch one of these, it happens when I’m drinking, dealing with the same things that these scenes are portraying. I landed in Iraq almost 19 years ago…you’d think I’d know by now not to watch them.

4:46 just a little correction: 81mm mortars have a minimum range of 500 m. So you have to be at least 500m away from your target to be able to hit it.
