The French Foreign Legion surrendering?
This must have made these guys mad with anger
UN ordered em to surrender ! The Legion never surrender !
Like world war 2..france always surrender
@@fazlikanimin6665 U seem to be quite well versed in history to make such a bold statement Fazli
@@fazlikanimin6665 How many world wars have the French lost, Fazli?
They would have been killed otherwise. Everything has a price including pride and vanity.
What’s the point of a military that isn’t allowed to fight?
@@fico8400 always thought un was a joke
They can fight they are they just have stricter rules of engagement theyre often just helping civilians but they are allowed to fight.
Try and investigate it.. instead of ignorant assumptions. Think that ya'll would be quite ecstatic, if UN troops should roll into a hypothetical warzone in yours neighbourhood..
You think this is bad, look at the Japanese UN mission in Cambodia back in the 90's
under fire the JGSDF members were not even allowed to return fire leading to Japanese deaths where the men could not even defend themselves.This was in part both the UN's fault and the strict policies setforth against Japanese military
they were allowed bro. They just shat their pants though
UN: Guys guys I have a great idea let's have guns but not use them EVER
@Zuhdija Muric true
They used them After when a french officer decided to stop follow political orders to save civilians from a massacre , one of those officers, now général Lecointre has became chief of the army in 2017
@@irov5884 oh my bad b
I guess they were just moving NERF guns at the end
UN was better back in the day. My grandpa was UN in Cyprus and he had to fire at several people to defend himself. Did not kill anyone but still defended himself with Rifles, grenades and mortars and stuff. He was leading over 100 men over there!
@Espectro Saga most likely reason
Foreign legion: we fight till the last man
UN: well yes but actually no
Foreign legion:We never surender

I was in Sarajevo in 92, as a Canadian soldier as part of the first tour. What a beautiful country it used to be before that war...
Adrian Shephard I can’t entertain such foolishness. Gen Mackenzie, did not rape any women. Nor did he arm anyone
D P I was around Gen MAC a fair bit and have complete admiration for him. His tough approach cost him his career in the end.
Adrian Shephard I’m sorry but, Gen Mackenzie, did not rape anyone. The Canadian government has a long hard approach to setting examples of illegal leadership. This has been proven from when the Canadian government disbanded a whole regiment (the airborne) and other situations. Gen. Mackenzie was constantly escorted with a multinational escort close protection team. He had made enough enemies with his approach to dealing with so called Chetniks. All factions whether they were Croat, Serb, Bosnian or Muslims were drunk 24/7 on slevovich (aka sleep in a ditch plumb brandy) in the town of Sirac a Croat girl accused being rapped by a Canadian solider. The Canadian government destroyed the guys life and career and when all was said and done she admitted to lying and the case was thrown out. So unless you can have substantial proof and not drunken hear say of any Canadian soldier raping anyone there’s little to no evidence. The poor ladies at the time were being rapped by the warring factions and even by there own people. It was a sad situation back in 92
D P he pissed out the government of Canada by pressing to lead the mission and also standing up to the minister of defence at the time. He also regularly discredited the UN and its poor ability to do simple things on the ground. He spoke his mind and wouldn’t favour any side there.
D P it was a strange time than. I was watching a documentary a few years ago and all of a sudden I realize I’m in the documentary (sector Sarajevo). The place was in shambles. Every side blaming each other for breaking truces? All pointing fingers except at themselves. We as Canadians at time’s did have to return fire. When this would happen it would shock the buggers as they never expected any UN contingency of not taking standing up to them. They also forgot that we were trained soldiers and rarely miss :) while we were in a town called Butmir (beside the Sarajevo airport) we brought aid packages of food and such. The locals who had nothing made us tea and super strong coffee. This was normal all over the balkins whether they were Croats, Serbs or Muslim villagers. Well this lady who handed me a tray of coffee and some pasty’s smiled and thanked us for delivering the aid packages. She was about 20-25 and like many in war regions looked tired and broken. Well zoom ahead to 2010 in at a bakery in Fredericton NB, and I see this lady who is a baker and for what ever reason I say “Dober Dan” she looked at me replied “Dobro” she immediately asks me how I know this, I tell her what I just told you. I said “you gave me coffee and pastry’s in Butmir” she broke down in tears and was a wreck. I was in a state of shock as I had not remembered that day in Butmir until I seen her. After she settled down, she sat with me and thanked me, I said for what? She said the aid helped. I see her from time to time. She told me she immigrated to Canada in 96, the odd part in 96 was my unit was back in Yugo/Bosnia again. Meanwhile all the refuges were living in a refuge camp in Gagetown NB were I was posted when not deployed. Small world.....
World:Tell me a quick joke
Me:UN
World: wait. We are a part of the joke?

@@ducefascist7497 Non UN members: Xaxaxa Jajajaj hahaha
they surrendered because they were still under the UN-peacekeeping rules,they were asked to not respond fire at any time to avoid the rise of the crisis,things changed after a new french president became elected and after the verbanja bridge...They fought back heavily on them.
Popikaify 😂😂😂😂 what if i told you im Scandinavian? Also, reusing that you poeple are idolizing war criminals is not like reusing a condom or something. This is an ongoing thing, and its disguisting. You poeple attempted ethnic cleanesing. Because of that no civilized culture would ever respect you again untill you have a serious look at yourselves. Stop taking shit from corrupt leaders, stop having the temperament of children, punish your war criminals, (the real ones), arrest your terrorists, stop celebrating shooting and killing a neutral party that was truly only was there to help the civillians. (Isnt surrendering to ethnicly cleansing and raping serbian soldiers a proof of that?) Stop the hooliganism. Make red star win in the FIBA. Why has a nation so interested in basketball never won a world title? 🤔
You're basicly asking something to the effect of what came first, the chicken or the egg? Who cares who started the war first? This was something perpetuated equally by both sides long before it broke out.

Also.. I find it ironic and actually kinda hilarious that you forgot that it was actually SERBIA who started WW1. What the heck... hahaha. Way to blame the poor germans who got so fucked so hard in the ass by the peace treaty that they a couple of years later acually elected a nazi-madman to be their defacto dictator. Nationalism is scary.
Also, ww1 is a huge tragedy that should not have even started in the first place. If you actually do your reseach you would understand that the only reason ww1 broke out was truly a case of "a perfect storm" if you will. So many unlucky coincidenses and accidents and misunderstandings led to that horrible and shitty war which remains a scar on humanity to this day. And remains a monument to human stupidity and self destructiveness.
And also, regarding the massacres conducted against Serbians. They were indeed inhumane and and I am sorry for yours, and any nation or people who had to go through things like this. But remember, that does not excuse retaliating the same way. Nationalism is poisioning the minds of young men like you and your neighboring contries, and you are all hating fellow humans and neighbors based on imaginary lines drawn on pieces of paper, crimes comitted by those peoples fathers and grandfathers, whose ethnicities are questionable at best. Its like going "Oh hey, the guys across the river have purple nipples, and worship a child molester... Lets kill them because we have orange nipples and worship a bearded arabian dude who somehow is depicted as white and who walked on water or something idk." Its all so stupid. Why cant people stop killing eachother eh? And what do I see on youtube? Young men gloating over their nationality and how their etnicity is somehow better than the rest of the world or something. Its retarded and you should be ashamed for perpetuating such nonsense.
Its hypocritical of you to blame bosnians when serbians did the same thing. Peace can only be achieved if everyone admits their own wrongdoings. "We didnt do nuffin" is the excuse people who cant think for themselves make. Be more critical man. Oh, and also, it sounds like you are parroting russian propaganda when you say that America and other european countries are imperialistic expansionist, bombing "completely innocent" dictatorial states and state supported terror cells. Tell me.. what european countries have in the last 20 years done an agressive expansion of their borders? Oh, let me see... Russia and baltic countries. Whoops, there goes your argument against the rest of us "scary expansionists".
Tell me, do you honestly think that Serbians are completely innocent and justified in every single action they took against Bosnians?
in war is no rules!
Hahaha, the Serbs couldn't fight the Germans, or the Croats for that matter. Go and take your nationalist idiocies elsewhere, dickhead.
Quinn Newman funny shit the man who led the assault on the verbanja bridge is now the general in chief of the french army, (he was a captain at the time and launched the assault without asking the UN and was greatly recompensed by the president for doing so)
TH-cam comment section is filled with decorated, battle - hardened war heroes.
I found it interesting reading the comments on this video by decorated war veterans. Of course these 'experts of war' wouldn't surrender in this situation. They never surrendered when they played 'Call of Duty' on their X-Box or PlayStation.

@C mc Canadians are well known allies of Serbs. Even armed Serbs with U.N, APC's and uniforms so that Serbs could storm places like Nišička visoravan and kill Bosnian civilians. It's also well known fact that Canadians went to hotel Sonja with Lewis Mackenzie to rape Bosnian women that were civilians captured by Nikola Poplašen faction. Canadians also defended Serbian Krajina when Serbs suffered a defeat in Medački džep and opened fire on Croatian army as well. Canadians were good for nothing POS that were in Bosnia only to pose around and sell humanitarian aid for personal gains. Nothing but criminals and scum. The only worse were Dutch but than again what Bosnians should expect? Even Serbians admit that Canadians were raping Bosnian women in hotel Sonja and Vilina Vlas. If I were Canadian in Bosnia during 92-95 I would be very silent about it.
How can Serbs be rebels in their own country. It was not a rebelion, but a civil war.

Excuse me,serbian rebels,how are serbs rebels now
There's something wrong with all of you commenting that the "UN command told them to surrender".
The Serbian commander explicitly said that they DIDN'T WANT to surrender because they probably had orders NOT to.
With a little persuasion they were smart enough to realize that that's their best option (there's another option but let's skip it).
And those of you who claim that "they could have kicked the ass out of bunch of rebel Serbs" probably think that these UN soldiers have some superpowers from Marvel comics.
The army men which encircled this base were in heavy fighting on the front line for the past 3 years at this moment, this "operation" was a peace of cake for them.
And it seems that this was not so serious as it looks like. They allowed the UN soldiers to bring their weapons to the collection point by themselves.
If the Serbs treated them like the actual enemy their hands would have been tied at gunpoint and they would have been transported to prison right away, also at gunpoint.
Eventually a lot of these UN soldiers ended up tied to the light poles in areas which were the points of interest of NATO bombers so if these points were bombed they would have killed their own men.
After that all ended (I'll skip the part of the story) they were all freed.
Remember, for Serbs the life of a Serbian soldier is not worth less than a life of foreign soldier.
But it seems that for many of you the life of a Serbian soldier has a really low value.
More simple than that. UN engagement rules didnt allowed them to return fire at the time. French autority Said that they cant surrender because thats in their honor code (légion), but they Ask them to didnt surrender AND respecting the UN rules... stupid Politicians.
In my (french) opinion, thats a shame we didnt support serbians. Germany and USA are happy of the results.

90000 french soldiers during France invasion and the same number in combat with GB or in Camps, so respect the french Army and search what really happen before saying shit
@mikeleight idiot the legionnaires have people from all over the world but forced to learn French. It wasnt their choice to give up. You're choosing to believe that
He already did, look at his helmet. He ain't saw no combat. He got his ass wooped. Chances are the commander wasn't FFL but french army. You can see his little "i managed to pull this" smirk on his face. He doesn't care. He's gutless. they do. They are ashamed of being non combatants. They know even with just those FAMAS and a little ammo they could have held off for a long time. But it's just stupid to go there in the first place. It was a political war UN style with all the western nations with interests to destroy the regimes.
@@PatTheRiot The French Foreign legion was massacred later in Kosovo after assaulting the Yugoslav-Albanian border.
I spoke with a veteran who has a badge at home as a trophy.
Fighting a professional army is much different than fighting some child soldiers in Uganda.
As well as the American Green berets and British SAS and Norwegian special forces.
We will never know what exactly the special forces of both sides did there because its all classified and good luck having one from either side break a confidentiality clause.
Well here is a lesson to learn from. Do not ever fight for the UN. I rather work as a mercenary.
Serbs are last European Chads. The only small nation in Europe who dared to say no to the most powerful military alliance world has ever seen. They partially failed ofc but still it counts as a very brave thing, and it seems to me that Serbs have a habit of acting like this all the way trough their history.
You serbians are very funny actually 😂😂
Yeah Serbs only Recognized in Haague and only one Nation who Lost 4 War in 90th its Hilarious 😂😂
Вот! Слава Сербии!!
Blue UN helmets? French soldiers haven't worn an outfit this terrible since 1914.
Or since 60,000 French troops held the perimeter around Dunkerque while 340,000 troops were evacuated back to England, most of who were executed or sent to Nazi work camps !
@@No-timeforimbeciles they had good uniforms by that time though
The Serbs defends their homeland too. 74% of territory of Bosnia-Herzegovina belongs to Serbs according to the land register entry from 1990. Most of these Serbes are living today as refugees. Welcome in the 21. century.
Damn, the legion surrendered?
the French Legion ("UN Rapid Intervention Forces ") provided artillery support from Mount Igman to the Bosnian Muslim army 1995 at this time. It didn't help them much because it is known that the operation to unblock Sarajevo was not succeeded.
So , this group of legionnaires are not any "peacekeepers" but one of the parties in the conflict

Did you read the comments? How stupid are you? Its easy to talk behind a keyboard. They were ordered to surrender because of the UN puppets.
Republika Srpska Army not rebels. AP jurnalists are dumb fucks.
How embarrassing another UN failure...wars seem to go better when people are fighting for their own country, relying on their own skills and military might, or lack there of.
@Elizabeta Bosnae what youre saying is true but not the way you said it. It is fact that there were bosniaks loyal to JNA and continued to serve because they were residing in Serbia and Montenegro (My dad served with croats in the JNA during his time in the 90's.). and it is fact that we kept all the military equipment from Yugoslavia days. Although the Armija was not in the Serbia or JNA.... they were always in Bosnia. Armija actually had more troops than HVO and VRS as well.
I would like to add that Milosevic offered Alija an agreement to avoid war against each other but under the advisory of America, Alija rejected and opted for war.
Elizabeta Bosnae yeah your right we did have all the apc’s, helicopters and tanks In belgrade. But you know that when the war broke out most people in jna returned to fight in their homeland. Hardly was anyone else besides serbs and some JNA loyalists from croatia and bosnia.
Also if youre going to point out that we commit war crimes then you should point out the war crimes committed by bosniaks and croats. Otherwise you should not point the finger at us when you are at fault for the same crime.

@Jacko 223 even then, they still have done some stuff that changed the world. Such as the Korean War where UN Deployed units there and now. South and North Korea exists.
@Jacko 223 in addition to that. They didn't abandoned the Irish. They send a platoon I believe to rescue them. But they are receiving heavy fire both explosive and small arms so they need to fall back. They even sent some supplies but the waters was sent in a oil barrel making it undrinkable.

The UN has been putting peacekeeping troops in impossible situations since 1948. Since the 1960's they've put them in ever more deadly situations and then told them to surrender to superior firepower without trying send through a relief force. Its truly earned the nickname U(seless) N(ations).

Weak leaders with strong men, saddest shit ever
Thats Serbia throughout history and also right now
Are you talking about French Legion?
This is why the "peace keeping" role is very difficult... there to reduce the civilian death rate but without pissing off the Waring factions. I think the War would have carried on far longer if the UN had gone in all guns blazing rather than trying to Police. It is hard to maintain motivation when fighting on foreign soil for something that was never clear and unsure who the enemy is, Afghanistan and Iraq being good examples, average grunt is happy to blow shit up but that doesn't resolve a conflict. I visited Yugoslavia in the 70s and troubles were brewing as West Germany started throwing Slav guest workers out, the death of Tito opened the door for unrest and it all started to kick off after that.
They should at least have fortified the safe zones
wow imagine the feeling of a badass battle hardened legionnaire who is ordered to surrender
It Is said in the video that they were ordered from their offices NOT to surrender, but soldiers decided otherwise, cuz they were surrendered and didn't have chance to win, so they did the smart choise.

I don't get it. In the video he said they were ordered from their offices NOT to surrender, but these soldiers were smart enough to surrender, cuz they were surrender and had no chance for victory. Yet everyone in the comment section Is claiming they were ordered to surrender, otherwise they would never do it. Can someone explain??
I am Serb. French boys were very good soldiers sent to do the wrong job and to support the wrong side. They surrendered because they are professionals and there was no need for them to die.They didn't protect anything valuable so their possible death, as well as death of our soldiers, was obviously stupid.
I am sure if they were protecting France their behavior would be totally different.
I have much respect for French army, but, unfortunately, some stupid politician (Chirac) sent them to be my enemies.
I hope it would happened never again. French and Serbs should be allies, not enemies. There were in Sarajevo many honest French officers, we remember them as good friends, but some stupid political decision spitted on our traditional friendship.
Chirac was on the muslims side, because french muslims,

@@allanmoneron7754 There were not actual atrocities that provoked war, but combination of several moves made by Croats and Muslims. I am talking about territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but you have to consider that war is going on in Yugoslavia as a whole country.

I understand the legionaires being disgusted after they were ordered to surrender. But if I'd rather surrender as a blue helmet than diying for the UN.
Everything is better than to be raped by Chetnics.
Even Filipino UN Peacekeepers Defied their commander to surrender. Instead, they stood their ground, fought back and escaped.
Filipino UN Peacekeepers? No wonder why UN mission was so succesfull in Bosnia and in Croatia. Filipino military power. Hahah... Did they sponosred their families to move to Bosnia?
Well said. French Foreign Legion areas most know, the best of the best - up there with GROM, SAS, SBS, SEALS etc. The problem here is the Serb forces were firing on UN Peacekeeping FR soldiers and Jacques Chirac had nothing to do with it - he was a brilliant Gaullist and anti-NATO man who didn't deploy like British, instead preferring to deploy peacekeepers. As to this surrender, well they were in the battle, not us. They know the pros/cons.
The best of the best? Up there with the like of SAS,SBS,SEALs etc? The most delusional statement ever..
They aren't special troops. They are shock troops. Not the same.
@Zuhdi Murich look at their face in the vidéo if they were scared Morron. UN engagement rules didnt allowed them to return fire.
Where are you from ?
@Zuhdi Murich They were not scared at all idiots they have more guts than you'll ever have by going in a war where they ordered to never return fire.
The FFL is not a special force. The 1er RPIMa and the commandos marine for exemple are French special forces and the best in France, with the hardest training in the world along with the British special forces, followed by the Russians.

After they surrendered, they got released and they charged the base with bayonettes on their riffles. They got the base back.
Just want to point out that those are not rebels because they voted to not be part of Bosnia and Herzegovina,the same way Bosnia and Herzegovina(muslim side) voted not to be part of Yugoslavia.
