@TakehikoKun when I was in Sangin we killed 200 insurgents in 2 months.. losing 3 british soldiers k.i.a. the population were secure and the town started to rebuild.. about a year ago, to relieve pressure so the british army could concentrate on operations against the Taliban's money bed in Nar-e-saraj (which I also took part in) Sangin was handed over to the US marines.. one month later 34 of them were dead, the yanks were besieged in their patrol bases and the town is in chaos to this day
Most people would'nt get into a British airborne unit. The fitness requirements are pretty crazy. They are often the first in and have a long and proud regimental history. All corps and regiments are good in their own way.
there are so many contradicting views of each others soldiers from America and England, but none of these comments come from the soldiers themselves but from people who don't have a true understanding of what is going on, we are all brothers and sisters when it comes to war
Why oh why do people feel the need to get personal and trade insults as a result of watching what is a VERY GOOD VIDEO! Please please people, calm down and get some perspective!
guys ...lets don't get into a pissing contest! ..As a young man I trained a few times with both British soldiers and French Legionaries.both are some of the best unconventional warfare soldiers around! Props to both ...learned a lot from them ...Be proud ....serve your country.. U.S. Special Forces combat veteran ...
The British Army. The most Honourable, Fearless,Bravest and Courageous Army that was created By God , to defend and protect the world from Tyranny and Oppression. That has protected our soverign land and our Great Nation, our Great Britain. The British Army Fear no one for there are no one left to Fear. "Advance Britannia, Long Live Great Britain"
So they're just green eyed monsters then? Its still a few years more, but i'm interested in joining. Household Cavalry or Foot Guards which is better? (as in role and what they do, not really interested about being elite or not) I'm torn between the two.
@TakehikoKun and what's funny is that high ranking US officers are interviewed for news reports and documentaries, in which they proclaim their awesome success since the take over, and criticize British officers for being 'unimaginative'. lunacy. the British are masters at inovating and adapting to changing situations. a skill learned from centuries of international warfare. British troops are led from the bottom up and are the first to throw away the rulebook.. that's why we're the best.
They always come home,one way or another.That is what they fight for,everything they love about home.God bless lads,for now and going all the way back to when the different tribes of Britain got together and kicked the Romans out.An old saying from donkeys years ago now."I was born an Englishman,but by the grace of god i was raised to be British".Long live the Union!!!
@random11414 haha fair enough m8 sorry. yeah i can tell the difference between the uniforms aswell, you don't need to be an expert of some sort for that. I was just irritated by the famas, and at a quick glance their uniforms looked french. Didn't even notice the shoulder patches... Guess I was too quick with wanting to rant about frenchies.
I haven't discussed any subject you haven't brought up YOURSELF. It was you who boasted of your janitorial services @ the Home Office, then it was you who brought up tabloids. Someone in a more administrative (that is non-custodial) position would know that tabloids aren't the social phenomenon here. Most papers here are regional & are dying. Such topics simply aren't discussed in such papers. As I said, I saw transcripts of the emails to London. Those don't go in trash cans.
funny that the US led coalition in Afghanistan would give the job of securing the only part of the country that could be considered a warzone to British forces if they don't think we're any good.. funny that
I totally agree but sometimes people do need to be "put straight". Is'nt that a mark of respect? Otherwise our brave people have died for nothing! Please dont think I'm being argumentative as I'm not, I hope you understand my point.
have you done a GCSE in history because then actually due to terrain and tactical advantage they overpowered the yanks and this is a BRITISH video not AMERICAN
I get my fairy tale from the Obamanation himself. I am talking about messages sent by him to the British gov't. I saw them in the news reports. They are a matter or public record. A gov't is fairly big thing. Many people, not all them are always on the same page. I am more likely to credit a sourced news report then some guy on TH-cam claiming to be something. Whether or not you work in some capacity in the Home Office I don't know. Even if you do, for all I know it involves mop & bucket.
Your soldiers went kissy-kissy with Iraqi terrorists and stood down at Basra refusing to engage and fight. And you judge Americans! What cheek. When others have to fight your battles in your sector because of deals with the devil then your reputation isn't worth a pitcher of warm spit.
Whats wrong with you? The irony is that there are British men and women putting there lives on the line and many of them made the ultimate sacrfice to keep you and your country safe...
Thankyou for serving man. If I met you in real life I would shake your hand :)
I start training this Monday!! ultimate respect to every serving and ex soldiers!
Again. The best tribute on youtube IMO! :)
cant wait for the new multicam uniforms to come to our cadets :)
good video mate!
Mate! The song really matches the video if you listen to the lyrics! Nice one there
You are right, I agree. Many of the regional county infantry/yeomanry regiments go way back and have amazing histories. I agree 100%
rest in peace to all the brave soldiers that fought in afganistan and my heart goes out to all the family's that have lost their loved ones
great video, salute to my British brothers from America
Here here to that one. Respect mate.
xxx Amazing tribute! xxx
bloody good vid
One of the best in world. Love from Liverpool. YNWA

Well said to you my friend. Wise words. All soldiers together, after all we are part of NATO. Respect my friend, very wise words.
Ignoring perfidy is no virtue.. Exposing malfeasance is no vice..
