I enjoy looking for patterns and making connections.
Right, wrong or indifferent, I sure do learn a lot when I dig.
This short thread is a compilation of my findings from a "Big Red" rabbit hole....

💠Celebrated 100th anniversary in 2017
💠Oldest continuously serving division in the US Army
💠The Big Red One had many roles that helped shape the country's history



The First Division Monument sits on a plaza in President's Park, Washington, D.C., west of the White House at the corner of 17th Street and State Place, NW.
SEVENTEENTH STREET.

(Looks like Michael the Archangel to me)
Described as an allegorical figure of victory clutching a flag in one hand & with the other, pronounces a benediction on 5,516 1st Division soldiers whose names are inscribed at the base. https://t.co/W52tmziabY

Defined as “finding & confronting enemies hidden in a population,” counterinsurgency can look like traditional combat. Insurgents are unknown enemies—they attack, then fade back into the population.

This will go pretty in depth FYI.
I couldn't possibly guess why Six Days in Fallujah is being revived at a time when US army recruitment is at an all time low.

This reboot is from the same people that worked with the FBI and CIA on training systems and is basing its game on excusing US war crimes. pic.twitter.com/5H8vVqKh9s
The core reason why I'm doing this thread is because:
1. It's clear the developers are marketing the game a certain way.
2. This is based on something that actually happened, a war crime no less. I don't have issues with shooter games in general ofc.
Firstly, It's important to acknowledge that the Iraq war was an illegal war, based on lies, a desire for regime change and control of resources in the region.
These were lies that people believed and still believe to this day.
It's also important to mention that the action taken by these aggressors is the reason there was a battle in Fallujah in the first place. People became resistance fighters because they were left with nothing but death and destruction all around them after the illegal invasion.
This is where one of the first red flags comes up.
The game is very much from an American point of view, as shown in the description.
When it mentions Iraqi civilians, it doesn't talk about them as victims, but mentions them as being pro US, fighting alongside them.
