“They hid”: Ordinary Americans react to a video from a military base after an Iranian bombardment

85

The American media continues to discuss the consequences of the Iranian missile attack on US military bases in Iraq. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched rocket attacks on Ain al-Assad base and a base located in the north of the country, not far from Kurdish Erbil. Today in the morning summary News on the "Military Review" there was a material, which described the aftermath of a missile strike and the fact that many US military were forced to wait for the strike, with a bitter irony of fate, in Saddam Hussein’s bunker.

These facts disturbed ordinary Americans who learned about the incident from media reports. The mood of American citizens who have learned this information looks different: from expressing a bitter resentment to a truly panicky one. Many urge Trump to "not leave this unanswered and act as harshly as possible." Some users also got the American military itself.



Here are a few comments on the CNN news service video about the consequences of Iran’s attacks on Ain al-Assad US military base in Iraq.

The Ancient Truth:

And what are they (the US military) doing there? Still looking for Iraqiweapon of mass destruction "?

Guy Barwood:

It is interesting to see how our troops react when they get something more powerful than RPGs.

Robert Lodge:

The irony is that we are forced to use the bunkers that were built to protect against our missiles.

Andrew Breeding:

Tell the truth! Wasn’t any of our soldiers injured?

Samantha W:

They were hiding in a hole ... Hmm ...

Brendan Hall:

It seems that all this was done on purpose - for filming.

                  Actually, this is normal when personnel are waiting for an air attack or missile attack, by definition they can’t do anything and there was no enemy attack. And the fact that it was scary was also normal, not normal if it weren’t.

            Compare the damage shown and the price of missile defense required to intercept 35 Iranian missiles. I think even intercepting one missile would cost much more than damage. That would be on the basis of a series of aircraft or something else valuable. And not a bunch of advisers in the bunker. That would be questions

                    So ballet rockets have an extremely predictable trajectory and where it was flying.
                    Plus, as has long been known, they were instructed in it even 3,5 hours before the attack. Since Iran had previously informed Iraq of the attack, and that leaked all the US info.

                  The main blow is reputational, but it could protect the air defense from it! Maybe they were just afraid to advertise their air defense forces? Then they would have to make excuses why the percentage of interception is so small!

              Now assess the damage that ingenious mattresses have inflicted on the reputation of their air defense systems. They began to doubt their effectiveness even earlier, after the Hussites burned the Saudi oil industry, and now even more so. And there weren’t 35 missiles there. It seems like only 13 pieces were called.

      “There were helicopters torn in half ...”

      The Danish television channel TV 2 aired an interview with Sergeant John, who was hiding in a bunker during a missile attack on the base. (source: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/udland/2020-01-10-dansk-soldat-efter-iransk-angreb-jeg-foelte-mig-magtesloes)


      Quotes:
      "... It was terrible. It cannot be described, and it should not be worried. We could not do anything, we had to just accept what was happening ...."

      "... Suddenly, the first wave began. Nine missiles - a ton each. This cannot be described. I have never experienced anything like this, and I hope I will never experience it again ..."

      "... The Danish soldiers reacted in different ways -" Some told jokes to protect themselves psychologically. Some huddled together. Some were crying, "says the Danish sergeant ..."


      At the end of the attack, these soldiers were taken to a safe place in Kuwait, where they felt relieved by playing cards and communicating via video ... Well, there’s nothing to comment on, everything is said.

      Well done Iranians. It is so filigree to explain to these warriors what their vaunted power is worth. Now they will go to the toilet looking around. This is not three hundred years of history, but three thousand years.

        It does not appear that they are Iranians. Yes, and, in general, was there a blow? The Iranians have already struck so that the Americans have no casualties, as well as a reason for war. They made some noise, and that's enough. Very similar to the information operation of the Americans. I wonder what Iran will say about these "strikes"?

          So, Iran has already said that on 09.01.2020/80/200, the commander of the IRF of the IRGC of Iran, General Hajizadeh, said that the United States concealed its losses as a result of a missile attack by the base - 10 dead and XNUMX wounded US troops. Details from Anna News (first XNUMX minutes of the video):
          Iran: "America is hiding the deaths of its soldiers in Iraq"

      It is normal to hide during shelling. Now several American "veterans" will be teaching young recruits how to behave during shelling. Their stories will be perceived as "stories" ...

      For those who want to strike at Iran, I would advise you to answer the question: Are you ready for the bombings in the United States and the death of Americans, how do women and children die in Iraq and Syria?

      They are brave, only pushing meat like ukrov, Balts and other tame idiots in front of them: "The eagles are ahead, and we are behind you, we will stand behind your backs."
