I love how YouTube promotes sexual clickbait videos but bans history and facts

[TheArmchairHistorian]

I cringe every time I hear my voice beeped, but I tried uploading this without the beeps and blurs and it was instantly demonetized and shut down. The moment I threw the blur over it and beeps, the YouTube reviewer instantly let it pass... This seems to be the only way I could get it monetized without just completely removing that segment, which I had originally done for my Iraq War Part 1 video released months ago.

[HistoryHouseProductions]

Wow! YouTube must be so glad that the [censored] got [censored]! It really adds to the moral complexity of the [censored].

[crittomato]

4:08 This actually made me flare up with anger. I do not understand the actual point of censoring other than some brand does not want their name with any terrorist group, but damn its so stupid.

[mufasaiam]

I've lived in iraq for the past 22 years, and during that time we've rarely seen peace. All I hope is that people learn from us and not just pity us.

"Sorry kids, you can't learn about one of the most seminal events of the 2000s because my advertisers dont like us to talk about it."

[sokka]

YouTube: allows porn ads and animal abuse on their site

Also YouTube: oh yeah remember that terrible thing that happened only 20 years ago? Cool me neither

[izdigi]

Fun Fact: Shock and Awe was just blitzkrieg, and the coalition, mainly American, forces were gaining around 200 miles a day and were out running their supply lines and had to halt the attacks and wait

[haloodst]

The darth vader thing was real btw, it was saddam’s son’s idea to give them helmets that looked a lot like his. Look it up.

[rafafr]

this sounds like the most obscene documentary ever made, you should try using the dolphin sound from sponge bob as the censorship sound next time.

[dario]

Writing my undergraduate dissertation on coalition blunders in Iraq and the subsequent rise of terrorism. Even learned some new things. Great video!
-Also thanks for including sources in the description

Youtube: "our fact checkers say history is false!"

[elsimain]

Naked Yoga: exists

Youtube: I sleep

History: exists

Youtube: How dare you?!

[enclavesoldier]

Last time I was this early the Poles still thought France would help them.

[HeWhoComments]

My grandpa was a U.S. Federal marshal deployed to Iraq to handle the trial of Saddam Hussein. He often tells me about it and this video reminds me of a lot of his stories.

[HappyHippieGaymer]

So this is what it feels like to see a “history” doc about a war you were in.

[joshtrotter]

My brother was killed in 2004 at Arramadi. It's sad how we can't learn about history.

[strudel]

I love the accuracy of vehicles, uniforms, and weapons in these videos. Absolutely amazing.
