Thanks to GOAT GUNS for sponsoring this video. Go to goatguns.com for excellent quality die cast gun models.
A hero to his supporters and an enemy to the West, Iranian General Qasem Soleimani is the target of an American drone strike, ordered by US President Donald Trump. Seeking retaliation, the Iranian military launches ballistic missiles against a US military base in Iraq, and with tensions high, accidentally shoots down a civilian airliner over Tehran.

I was in Iraq when this went down. I had only gotten there two weeks before the drone strike. Our intel knew he was coming into Iraq to help command attacks against US personal so we were quite happy to hear about his demise. I was at a different base north of Baghdad that was on the list to get hit but the rumor is that we were too close to civilian areas that they didn’t want to risk civilian deaths and piss off the the Iraqis. Although we got plenty of in direct attacks just two months later that did kill a couple of Americans a British soldier. We were told we were gonna have a easy, uneventful deployment, the unit we replaced had maybe one motor attack their entire 9 month deployment. Then we get there and within weeks shit went down hill, from all I mentioned and to include a high probability of a full on assault on our base by a local militia group supported by Iran that we had to somehow repel with a few gun trucks and a aviation unit. (Mechanics, pilots, and other unit personnel.) we were told to hold them off until the 82 unit that was on base got there(a 30 min wait). All the other nations that were there left just leaving the US and some Spain guys. Luckily from what I understand some politics changed in the Iraq government and the commander of that militia group ( who was also a commander somewhere in the Iraq military) was told not to attack us. We kept getting attacked with in-direct fire until the day we close the base up. To include the night before I left. Ended up only spending 7 months in Iraq with the rest of my deployment being in Kuwait, which ended up being extended by only a month due to the unit replacing us was delayed by the Covid. Oh yeah, during all of this Covid was happening. Not a easy, relaxing deployment as we were told. Really weird and cool to see something I was involved in get covered by this channel. Thanks for the video! It sometimes feels like this event and everything afterwards just got buried by the Covid news.

He also drew lines on maps provided by scientists because his ego didn't let him be wrong, but yeah, he did some OK stuff too. But then he completely undermined our democratic process and damaged the country in ways we'll be feeling the ripples of for a decade, thus completely removing any of the good he may have done.

Also, I'd love to see a comparison of civilian deaths from drones vs manned alternatives in simmilar circumstances. It would be interesting to see if the belief that drones cause more civilian deaths is true at all.

Worth pointing out, the missiles that killed Soleimani were not just common hellfires, they were known as "Ninja hellfire" because they carried literal long blades that extends before impact.
