Marine Asks Iraqis Mad Over 'Travel Ban' What Would Happen if He Left Compound & Gets Brutal Answer
By Jenni Fink

On
Wednesday, Marine veteran Steven Gern posted a video to his Facebook
page that outlined his thoughts on President Trump's recent executive order on immigration.
In the video, Gern stated that he currently works in Iraq and claimed that, just like America, there's a lot going on over there, too. We just don't see it.
His video was posted as a reflection on a conversation he had with Iraqis. First, he described their viewpoint:
Gern highlighted that this isn't ISIS or al-Qaeda making these claims; it's the local populace. This led him to his final question:
By the next day, Gern's video had garnered over 35 million views, according to the Daily Wire. The viral video has since been taken down by YouTube for violating “hate speech” rules.
However, Gern's journey wasn't over when he faced a road block with
YouTube's censorship policy. Less than 24 hours after he posted his
first video, the veteran uploaded a second one.
Shot from a private plane, Gern gave viewers a glimpse of his flight to Baghdad International Airport:
At that point, his video only had 8 million views, but his safety was already deemed compromised. He said:
Gern uploaded another video that addressed allegations that he wasn't honest in his portrayal of Iraqis. He asked viewers:
The CEO of the private security company he worked for “needed him out of the country” after death threats were made — by both Americans and Iraqis. After seeing how things are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, Gern doesn't quite understand the backlash from Americans over Trump's order. He told IJR:
Despite the unexpected and potentially job-costing consequences, Steve Gern has only been driven further in his resolve to continue to speak out for his beliefs. He told IJR, “Now that I see what is happening, I will not be silenced.”
In the video, Gern stated that he currently works in Iraq and claimed that, just like America, there's a lot going on over there, too. We just don't see it.
His video was posted as a reflection on a conversation he had with Iraqis. First, he described their viewpoint:
“A lot of the Iraqis showed their displeasure in this executive order, and why they feel like they’ve been betrayed by the United States.”After he listened to their opinions, he said he got an answer, “without hesitation,” to a simple question he had. He asked, “as an American, if I went out in town right now, would I be welcome?” They answered:
“Absolutely not, you would not be welcome.”When asked, “What would happen if I went in town?” The Iraqis provided him a timeline:
- Locals would snatch him up
- Torture him
- Kill him within an hour - probably a beheading
- It would be filmed for everyone to see
Gern highlighted that this isn't ISIS or al-Qaeda making these claims; it's the local populace. This led him to his final question:
“If you would do this to me, in your country, why would I let you in my country?”His video's purpose was to inform Americans about what's taking place in one of the seven “banned countries” highlighted in President Trump's executive order.
By the next day, Gern's video had garnered over 35 million views, according to the Daily Wire. The viral video has since been taken down by YouTube for violating “hate speech” rules.

Shot from a private plane, Gern gave viewers a glimpse of his flight to Baghdad International Airport:
At that point, his video only had 8 million views, but his safety was already deemed compromised. He said:
“Apparently it wasn't safe for me to stay in the location I was in. So, I'm being sent out.”He asked everybody to “stay tuned,” and his story picked up upon his arrival in Baghdad.
Gern uploaded another video that addressed allegations that he wasn't honest in his portrayal of Iraqis. He asked viewers:
“If what I said wasn't 100% true, why in the world would it be so important to get me removed from this country?”Steve Gern is now back in the United States and spoke to Independent Journal Review over the phone. He provided a timeline of the events:
- Posted video at 11 p.m. Iraq time
- Woke up at 5:30 a.m. and video had 1.1 million views
- Went to work, went on mission
- Returned from mission and put weapons away
- Got a call to the office just after 2 or 3 p.m.
- Went to the office to see the security director and was told he had 30 minutes to pack a bag. A private plane was already running and waiting for him.
The CEO of the private security company he worked for “needed him out of the country” after death threats were made — by both Americans and Iraqis. After seeing how things are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, Gern doesn't quite understand the backlash from Americans over Trump's order. He told IJR:
“Americans in general are extremely naive, they don't want to understand there are actual people out there that don't like our way of life. You can't change their thought process.”The video, which he says started as a way to simply express what the guys he's worked with have all experienced, has resulted in over 12,000 emails and the possible loss of his job. He described his reaction to the overwhelming attention:
“As this goes on, I'm actually kind of annoyed that people are treating me the way they're treating me because I actually spoke the truth. I shed light on a conversation that I had, with the people that I had to work with every single day — that I know hate my guts. They hate us, so much.”Based on his first-hand experience over a 10-year career as a Marine and his job as a PSD team leader in the Middle East, Gern identified a contrast between the mindset in America and other countries. He explained the difference to IJR:
“As an American we have a tendency to accept people for who they are, and what they are. We accept them and are tolerant. Other countries are not tolerant towards Americans.”Instead of continuing to pour money into a country that rejects our way of life, Gern suggested the money be used on Americans who need it, such as the homeless or the veterans who are now living on the streets.
Despite the unexpected and potentially job-costing consequences, Steve Gern has only been driven further in his resolve to continue to speak out for his beliefs. He told IJR, “Now that I see what is happening, I will not be silenced.”

YouTube censored the video due to hate speech? Really? This points out
the hypocrisy of our lefties. As long as Americans are pointing fingers,
then it's racist. But the fact the US marine couldn't go into town
without facing harm isn't racism? Give me a break!
Be aware that the demonstrations you all like to focus on contains only a
small number of Americans, ugly Americans to be sure, but Americans
nevertheless. Apparently the rest of us don't count. But please be
aware, we have the President's back. And we do not want ISIS in this
country. It is unpatriotic to demand that we willy-nilly let immigrants
into our country without strict vetting. Indeed!

agree with you IntegrityImportant so tired of the bs...don't want to
become another Sweden, Germany or France. If you aren't here legally
it's time that the ICE and Border patrol get to do their jobs...

how politcally correct liberals have no respect for homelan security.
They see no reason to protect our citizens from terroist or other
American hating countries. They just want to let them in bc they don't
want to offend or it's unconstitutionaL. UnconditionaL?
Unconstitutional for who? The constitution is for the republic for which
it stands and it's citizenS. illegal immigrants or refugees do not
have rights in this country nor does our constitution apply to
non-citizens. get the hell out of America bc you obviously do not agree
with our constitution. The very Muslim radicals That you defend and want
here hates America and everything she stands for. Allowing them to come
here is like having the fox to guard the hen house. If you love them so
much then move to their coI try. You'll be dead by noon. You'll be
Made an example of. America is a nation of infedels according to the
muslims. Why do stupid liberal white people let others brain wash them
into believing that they're automatically racist and oppressive? Idiots
won't even defend themselives. Go trump fuck liberals. Go to hell lib's
or got to one of the 7 country's of the immig ban. God bless America.
God bless our military god bless our right to bear and keep arms!
