all right. we just got ambushed. i just started turning the camera and just talking to it, just for my own because it was just overwhelming, you know? like what s happening? we set up a medical training unit because we realized right away nobody had any training. river and other volunteers spent months fighting the kurdish offensive in the city of manbij, which was controlled by isis. you ve never seen nothing like it. it s feterrifying. okay. i see it. and the things that happened there are terrible. we re move ing you right now. we re going to get to the ambulance, okay? what did they do to me? i know. it s okay. i know this is hard to watch. let s be real.
put ourselves above everybody else. yeah. river rainbow hague is a navy veteran and a tv producer who was a combat cameraman in iraq and afghanistan. he also volunteered to fight isis in northern syria alongside the kurds. i know. you can find his film about it the volunteers, part 1 and part 2 on youtube. how do people who are not of that region end up over there fighting for the kurds? how does that happen? i was humbled to stand with the kurds. i was honored, but isis drew me there. i am pissed off when i watch people getting burned alive and our histories being plundered and destroyed and knowing that i participated in the creation of that. in february 2003, secretary of state and retired four-star general colin powell through some half truths and speculation and a little razzle-dazzle convinced the world that iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. and a month later, a u.s.-led
over the past 20 years, is so-called war on terror has seen us stumbling in and stumbling out of a series of failed wars. just ask the 37 million people who have been displaced by the wars or the 800,000 people, including 7,000 troops and 335,000 civilians that have died because of the wars. or maybe just ask this guy because he was there. what does the word patriotism mean to you. love, an expression of love. but it can be turned into something dangerous, which is called nationalism. you know, nationalism is when we put ourselves above everybody else. yeah. river rainbow is a navy veteran and a tv producer who was a combat camera man in iraq and afghanistan. he also volunteered to fight isis in northern syria alongside the kurds. i know. you can find his film about it on youtube.
a reason for war? [ bleep ] yeah. okay. yeah. we need to kill isis. they needed to die. yeah. but should we have created them? so it s a real catch-22, isn t it? yes. yes. so i mean i don t know if you i ll tell you what the solution is. okay. we need to invest in peace, not bombs. we need to invest in peace, infrastructure, opportunities. what does that mean? what does that look like? instead of sending our kids to the middle east to die, you know, let s send them to build schools and roads and hospitals. as we pull out of afghanistan, we have to remember the lessons of iraq, isis, syria, the kurds, and the civilians caught in the middle. otherwise, this is all going to happen again, and our citizens, our troops, and the people of the world will be forced to ask the same sad questions of war. what did we kill and die for?
