Original subtitles

What do you wanna know?

I live in a shit barracks,

constant threat.

I get shot at any minute, through any window.

I wake up every morning, do the same patrols every day.

And basically,

the only thing I'm fighting for that I know that I'm fighting for

is to make it home each and every day

without getting killed.

Because I don't know why we're here.

Oh I know why we're here but I don't know--

Yeah, I don't know why we're here.

I mean, I've seen a... I'd say about

60 year old woman

all dressed in black,

in a burqa, or whatever they call them dresses.

pull out an AK from under her skirt

and starts spraying.

Needless to say, she got-- I mean,

she became a combattant, and that's the truth, you know.

Like...men, women, child,

if they pick up a gun and start shooting at you

they are considered combattants and that's reality.

It's also just like hunting. I've hunted deer and

coyotes and shit.

It's like a person thinks the same,

tries to think like another person would.

with a weapon. So, it's luck.

It's the ultimate style of hunting, is war.

(Battle for Haditha)

Like, this is the planet Earth.

The body, right? Body is planet Earth.

and Iraq...is the cornhole, the brown hole, the asshole,

whatever you wanna call it.

with a bunch of dingleberries. Insurgents. (leaders)

A bunch of dingleberries hanging around,

just waiting for a shit storm.

And we just happen to be the fucking turds...

going through

the asshole.

And all the dingleberries are just surrounding us,

trying to kill us.

That's what I think about Iraq.

Just a giant butthole.

(On 19th November 2005 an IED bomb...

(planted in the roadside in Haditha, Iraq)

(...killed 1 Marine and injured 2 others. )

(In the following hours Marines killed 24)

(Iraqi men, women and children. )

(18th November, 2005, 6:30 am)

Hey Jack! Fuck ya!

I love that shit!

Look at my fucking ass!

Hey! This is why I fucking love the Marine Corps.

All right, let's move!

Hey Corporal Marquez. Take a fire team across the street.

Yeah.

Look look look. Hey!

What the fuck dawg!

I've never seen a dick that small.

Hurry up, put your little dick away. Let's go!

His dick is so small, he's peeing on his nuts.

- Hurry up, get back in formation. - OohRah.

- Ey Cuthbert. - Yes, corporal.

- You ready to get some? - Hua.

Found 119 IEDs, (Improvised explosive device)

and these faggots are playing at the side of the road.

All the insurgents came from Falludja.

They are all here, waiting for us.

- You know that, right? - Yes corporal.

We're just life bait

And you retards stop fucking around.

(Haditha)

(60 Marines killed in I.E.D. bomb attacks)

People we have liberated will not surrender their freedom.

Democracy will succeed because the USA

will not be intimidated by a bunch of thugs!

...corner of Chestnut...

(unintelligible chatter on radio)

- You got DVDs? - Yeah, sure I got.

You want? Yeah.

Are these the only DVDs you have?

Let me imagine what you're looking for. You're looking for...

- Boom boom? - Boom Boom!

- That's what I'm talking about. - Yeah. All right.

Try it and you must trust me.

So I didn't trust you?

Yeah, I don't trust you motherfuckers for anything.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

I leave you with my uncle, he will give you a good deal, okay?

* Did you bring the stuff?

* Turn left.

* When we pick it up

* It's ok.

* Listen Jafar, these Al Qaeda guys are fucking crazy.

* Let's go.

* Here it is.

* See this?

* It goes inside the bomb.

* But be careful, any electrical charge will set it off.

* Understand?

* Good. Then you attach the cellphone.

* A cellphone.

* Exactly.

* Then you switch the phone on

* and pull out the aerial.

* When you bury it

* leave part of the aerial above ground

* for the frequency.

* OK.

* Do you understand?

* Yes, God willing.

* This cellphone will trigger the bomb

* when you call this number.

* When the humvees get close to the bomb

* just dial this number

* and the bomb will explode.

* OK.

* Do you understand?

* That's $500.

* You'll get another 500 if you are successful.

* The money is your reward on earth

* God will reward you in heaven.

* The holy war is for the muslims.

* You should get going.

* Everything is ready.

* Ahmad, I want to tell you something.

* Stay away from the alcohol venders.

* What? Who told you I drink alcohol?

* Heay Ahmad, I'm not blind.

* We know everything you do.

* We're giving the alcohol venders 3 days to stop selling.

* And if they don't stop

* we will kill them.

* You know you shouldn't drink alcohol.

* It's against the teaching of Islam

* And we need Haditha to be an Islamic city.

Hey Marcus, check this fucking video out.

I bought this downtown, at the electrical shop

Bad ski sticks. ? ? ?

It was the year of the ski sticks depression,

and...everything was going downhill.

No man. I mean, it's the murder capital.

Who the fuck wants to live there?

Let me guess. You wass in a gang.

No, actually, Philadelphia doesn't even have gangs, dude.

So you left the murder capital of the US to come to Falludja

On my first appointment, man, I almost lost my fucking leg.

They sat here and fucking told me

I would never be able to fucking run again.

Fuck...

Doesn't the corps take care of you after you're hurt?

You know, they offered me to get out, right?

They said if I wanted to, I could get out...

with my injury.

They said, we'll give you 10 per cent. Do you know what 10 per cent is?

That's...$300 a month.

That's what I'm telling you. Nobody gives a shit about you but you.

Take care of yourself.

The Marine corps don't, and this fucking country don't

Remember that.

But we know you understand.

Thank you, and OoRah.

Have you been having nightmares lately?

Nightmares? No, never.

It's like I cannot fucking sleep, man.

Like, last nightmare,

I kept hearing like cries and shit,

like,

I keep seeing these fucking bodies, man.

These fucking women laid out fucking dead.

Their kids.

It's not so much the guys, man.

it's more like the women.

And then I see pictures of like my fucking mother,

laying next to them and, like

I just wish I could fucking change a lot of shit, man.

What are you talking about?

I feel like a lot of those fucking people

I killed are fucking persons.

and you know me.

That I'm fucking living with this guilt for the rest of my life, man.

No, I fucking don't understand that either, man.

I feel like I'm personally responsible for all those motherfuckers

that died underneath me.

Every Marine that died under-- underneath me.

I feel like I'm personally responsible,

like I could've fucking changed this,

do you know what I mean?

I fucking hate the motherfuckers,

the officers that sent us in.

Fucking hate 'em!

Ramirez, you all right?

Fucking hate 'em, man!

Everyone of them!

I fucking give a fuck about the fucking medals, man!

They don't give a fuck about us.

* This is our time.

* Look at your families.

* We should get revenge on the Americans.

* Enough orphans.

* We want our revenge.

* Give them mercy my God.

* We want our country back.

* We want back greater Iraq.

* The country of plenty.

* My name is Safa,

* I am the only survivor of the Yunis family.

* My mum and dad and my 5 brothers

* and my auntie all got killed by the Americans.

* I wish the Americans would be killed

* and they get out of Iraq.

* Now Safa,

* say the Americans hit you over the head.

* Ok.

* This is a symbol of what the Americans are doing,

* to our families and our people.

* Look at this girl, she's the only survivor of her family.

* The Americans killed her whole family.

* What can we do?

* Will we just keep quiet?

* We are ready Sheik, we are ready!

* Bush, Bush.

* You cannot defeat us.

* Bush, Bush.

* You cannot defeat us.

They're going subway ? ? ? ?

It's the boss. Do not engage the boss.

Roger.

Squib. Nobody is the ? ? ?

Direct Tango, direct Tango.

- ? ? ? building is to the boss. - Roger that.

Major General, sir.

We ran a check on all the Iraqi dead

and none matches with insurgents database.

Nothing that you say causes me any undue concern...

It's a cleanly coordinated attack

and standard operating procedures were followed.

This is the official press release

A U.S. Marine and 15 Iraqi civilians

were killed yesterday from the blast of a...

roadside bomb in Haditha.

Iraqi Army soldiers and Marines returned fire

killing eight insurgents and wounding another.

(Four months later)

(Student footage reveals Marine cover up)

The case first came to light when

a time magazin reporter received video footage,

shot by a local Iraqi journalism student.

It showed the gruesome aftermath of the incident.

It also has interviews with some of the survivors,

Safa Junis, 12 years old, is the only

living survivor from her family of 9.

She claims that the Marines came into

her house and shot her entire family.

Hiba Abdoolah and three children were

the only survivors of a family of twelve.

If it had not been for the Time Magazine report,

this case would never have come to light.

The Marine high command failed to investigate the events of November 19th

for over two months.

A blame, they say, must not be allowed to stay at the enlisted level

but should be traced to its source,

which is the Secretary of Defense

and the Commander in Chief.

I am troubled by the

initial news stories, um...

I'm, uh,

mindful that there is a thorough investigation going on.

If in fact the, uh...

you know...

laws were broken, there'll be punishment.

One of the charged Marines, a Corporal Ramirez,

according to his attourney was nominated for a Bronze Star

for his heroism on the very day that incident took place.

The Marines claim that they were

merely following their standard operating procedures,

lost ? ? ? in extremely hostile environment...

(Corporal Ramirez: Hero or Bad Guy? )

(8th March, 2006)

(Marine High Command, Camp Ramadi)

Sir. Corporal Ramirez ? ? ? ? , sir.

At ease.

CPL Ramirez.

You're being investigated for 13 counts of murder.

CPL Delacruz,

Five counts of murder.

CPL Matthews,

three counts of murder.

and Sgt. Ross.

three counts of murder.

Now it is my job and your job as Marines

to protect the reputation, the honor

and the future of this corps,

and I will not have a band of reckless Marines

ruin that future and that reputation...

Holy shit.

Ey Matthews, check that fire out.

Ramirez!

Ramirez. You ok?

We've all seen a lot of action at a young age.

I'm 20 years old, and this is my third tour of duty.

We've all seen things that will haunt us

for the rest of our lives.

And I guess after a while you just get hardened.

You become numb.
