Royal Anglians. Probably one of the most under appreciated Regiments in history, even within UK military. No glamour. True Nails.

Very true statement. Very under appreciated Regiment indeed. But that's just me being bias as I'm serving in the 2nd Battalion.
Im a 26 year old American. Im Against the Iraq war, and i think its time to leave Afghanistan. But i just want to say to any Brits who might be reading this...You will never know how much we appreciate you sticking by our side through all this. I have the upmost respect for all of you. Your soldiers are brave and respectable. And for all the brits who have died, i am eternally grateful
Thank you so much for that.
Fuck you all world terrarist
Thankyou Sincerly Dennis
God bless you too Dennis 🇬🇧
@John name a war that was legal
The guy who was carrying the sniper rifle, minimi and javelin must be some kind of super soldier
@jakedominguez118it depends on the context of the environment they are operating in
Never noticed him carrying all 3 but fuck me a sniper rifle and a minimi has to be like some kind of god feat thats wild he was light on other gear but still surprised they made a pack mule out of a sniper, I think tbh when he was deemed ineffective and they realised they had to bug out they threw the empty? jav onto him. Still impressive as fuck
@@dsdgdsfegfeg this wasn't at a paintball event 😅 I imagine in a warzone pretty much anything goes , carry an fire what you can
@@simonlee498 that's not how Western Militaries work. Soldiers don't just carry as much weaponry as they can. There is standard gear.... that is then altered depending on operations/need.
Call of duty s less energetic
I am an American military child, and I say God bless and kick ass Britain! Love you guys!
Thanks brother, we Brits do kick ass, but so do Americans, together we are the best in the world.
fuck you usa,the biggest terrorist in the world..........fuck you usa,please dont write unnecessary sentences about me and terrorists..........
DARREN TILL I hope you're not British and telling a yank to fuck off. How disrespectful to a brother of ours.
@Christopher Bateman France won it.
us brits mostly the english will and do kick ass ,,, we dont know fear
The British Fight like professionals. They know what they are doing. America and the UK could defeat any enemy! Brilliant job!

@@arthurtwoshedsjackson4336 as much as I respect America, this isn't true. The allies would've won the war even if America didn't join.

@@fourlamb1 prob Canadian.
British !!
To keep calm and keep moving under fire is very hard to do. This just shows how disciplined and well trained our boys are. Love you and God bless you.
Can we all agree that both armies are great and let's hope that in times of war our friends from the UK with always fight side by side with American troops
Yes at last someone with some sense. When we fight together we are unstoppable history shows us this.
I hope they work as allies indefinitely, but if America ever decided to oppose the UK, sadly, the UK will get decimated by America's sheer size alone
No chance. SAS, SBS, Para's, commando's and gurkha's would stop you in your tracks.
The Angry Panda ever hear of the British commonwealth ? you silly child
+The Angry Panda well we'd both quit before anyone could lose. It wouldn't ever be a to the death battle like ww2
I love how our soldiers manage to keep a good sense of humour even in a line of fire
The classic British stiff upper lip
😂😂…….leave us alone pls
Unselfishness, courage, determination and cheerfulness in adversity. That’s what my 40 challenge coin reads.
Fantastic tactical awareness and leadership skills from LCpl Daniel Monks. If he is still serving, I hope that he's looking at being a CSM now, or very soon, superb soldiering. Respect.
I joined the US Army September 27th 2001, shortly after 9-11, I deployed with the 3rd ID in 2003, I fought along side the Brits…. Fast forward August of this last year, I took my family to Disney on Florida, I stood in line with a British veteran and we shot the shit while waiting for some rides, I still see wounds he wore as a badge of honor on his body(he was blown up twice by IED’s) as for me, I was blessed to never get shot or blown up, but my wounds are internal…. I can’t sleep, I have terrible PTSD, but in the moments getting to chat with my new friend, I did find peace knowing my brother across the pond got to come home to his family after going thru so much…. My views on the war have changed over the years, maybe we shouldn’t of stayed for so long, but, I was a 20 year old PFC just doing a job…. No matter what my views of the war are or were, these men will always be my brothers in arms… we didn’t care why we were there, we didn’t cry about being away from our families in the moment, we only found peace thru brotherhood, a brotherhood forged in blood and honor!! Once two great countries fought against one another, and now are the greatest Allie’s the modern world has seen!! I hope you find peace Bryan, I hope the guns and bombs are quite in your head now! I recently found out that he gave into his demons and took his own life shortly after his trip to Disney! It breaks my heart to even ponder the thought of the torture your mind experienced in your home life! You did a job you were called to do, and sometimes you did that job for an ungrateful people! Just know that, tonight, as I sit on my couch with my little dog curled at my feet, I drink to you my brother! May you find that peace in your internal rest! I pray for the small child that was with you that day, that he grows up not thinking about how you passed away, but thinking about how you lived! Til Valhalla my friend!!
You didn't care why you were there ?
This is the mentality of the country which teaches others about human rights ?
@Bilal Safi And what's your country? Hurry up tell me I could do with a laugh 😃
@@Moostafa78 I don't think so it matters

I know it’s some older footage but it’s history and I always watch these types of videos.They are professional and a well trained troops.Glad they’re on our side.Our brothers🇺🇸
I worked with you Yankie boys. ANGLCO company marine corps. They were top boys. We complimented each other well. We took everything like a walk in the park and your boys used combined arms to a level we could only applaud as professionals.
Calm, professional, well led, no dramatics, no gung ho, fucking awful guys to fight, just taking care of business. Proud to be a British soldier 👍
For all the troops in our armed forces great RESPECT!! you guys are heroes for what you do
I just love seeing everyone showing support to the UK even from America. love all of you that support the armed forces
What do you mean 'even' from America. You should say, especially from America.

Britain just has the best over all Military in the world. Not the biggest, but the best. The Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, SAS, British Army, undoubtedly the toughest in the world! Bravo heroes.
And our Gurkhas
@@williamevans7454they are part of the british army
Don't forget the Royal Navy's special forces unit, the Special Boat Service (SBS). Even the SAS are in awe of them.

"This bag weighs a fucking ton" He's getting shot at and all he moans about is his bag.
A American soldier be like "IM HIT IM HIT IM HIT IM HIT IM HIT IM FUCKING HIT AAAAAAAAA"
The Hood Genie I saw that Video too lol, The one where he's shot on the hill and just keeps shouting and throws his gun away and just sits there.
Nathaniel Bailey you can't move with those things...
It's the british way.
Massive respect for these guys honestly.
When he yelled *“STOP FIRING !”* I was like Damn, Sounds like a Dad yelling at his child to “Stop It” 😂😅
"you like the rain?"
"yeah cools me down a bit" more like reminds me of home!! hahaha :)
dont start... I live used to live in wales (1QDG) ya bastard lol
That's what I thought he was going to say 😂
I love how calm and collected they are under fire. Top lads much respect
Thank you for your service brothers, bless you all
-America
Idk why everyone has a stupid comment about who's better? US and UK, we're supposed to be the closest of allies in the world. Support each other instead of talking shit.
no fuck you
+I'll put a Jihad on you too Here comes the islamic state youtube jihadi
+thevillelova93 Its called banter, the closest of friends are always the ones giving each other the most crap because Brits and Americans know we will always have each other's back whenever SHTF.
If you think the ribbing between Brits and Americans is bad you should see what the Aussies and Kiwis say to each other all the time.
Plus we are the closest ally
Actually the closest allies to the UK is Portugal. I know who'd of thought!
as a guy with american blood serving in the british army, i personally both are the best armies in the world. I love the yanks man
Max Robertson American Blood? 🤔. For your picture I would not say you come from Sioux, Dakota, Mapuche...
I did a few short missions with the British Army while I was in AFG. Very professional through and through.

My utter respect as a Brit for you lads, make me very proud
u r a lassi u will never be brit 🤣😂
So proud of our forces. Freaking war fighting machines. So dam fit and so professional. 💪
i will never ever forget the footage i saw years back, of a british firefight with the taliban, where a captain or was it a commander was directing the british fire without any cover, he was standing on top of a house and directing his units fire, with no regard for his own safety, if anyone has that footage please tell me where i can find it, it was the most amazing moment i have ever seen from the british involvement in afghanistan, respect to the british military!
I also would love to see that!
yeah I have seen that aswell, I think it might either be from a royal marine series or maybe the series "our war" or somethin like that
luke edwards I really liked that series, but I only saw season 2, do you know where I can find the first?
No i don't sorry mate, i watched our war when it was on BBC 3 years back, its bound to be on youtube somewhere
Cheers mate
Respect to that dude with the sniper rifle and a javelin moving like it's nothing
We manufacture the chips and sensors for that Javelin right here in Dallas at Texas Instruments facilities. Glad to see our UK brothers in arms using it. God bless yall.
Can't comment on the tactics but in terms of demeanor these guys seem like absolute pros. Everyone appears even-keeled, composed and the leadership very methodical.
anzov1n special forces level of composure surely? It was like they were in a football match. “Yeah they’re pretty good. Tactics alright, we’re better though.” It’s crazy to think they were staring death in the face
Gar I was directly quoting what one of the soldiers were saying and expressing my admiration for how calm they were under stress. Learn to read and watch the video before you comment
@@ohyeahyeah973 That's just the British attitude
Smh. I like the British and I am American. I would love to fight beside them one day. I don't why everyone is saying they are better than each other. We all humans in the end,
I agree, its true that people judge one army because of county but atleast we are all kicking the talibans ass in the end lol
HOOAH to that
;)
hugs go to all soldiers and civies
Yupp but just to think, america fighiting along side with the uk. It would be great :)
The British forces do a terrific job. Bravo boys! 👍🏻
Old video I know, but wow the calmness and professionalism of these soldiers is outstanding.
As an american, this is quite interesting to see the similarities/ differences in your military compared to ours... very cool!
Glad we fight together. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Absolutely ! God bless America and how fabulous to be their (hopefully best) friends !
🇬🇧😎👍🇺🇲
God bless the British Army!
Im joining the British army when Im older.....
The the SAS. These men are a fighting force to be recognised.
"Be The Best"
The best is actually the Royal Navy's special forces unit the Special Boat Service (SBS).
My dad is a British soldier in afghan he is at war with the Taliban. God bless Britain and it's ally's I'm a Cadet in the Royal British navy. :)
Devon Erty good luck for your dad and hope he comes back with both arms and legs😓 im in the army cadet force

Royal British Navy? Or Royal Navy?
Well done lads
Nothing but respect for these men wish I made more of an effort in life i would of loved to serve in the British army and tour iraq and Afghanistan
The best trained soldiers in the world British army my nephew was in for 15 years with the first Scots regiment two tours in Iraq and 3 tours of Afghanistan
Most laid back lads in a firefight I've ever seen lol
Love how the seco or 2ic is saying move off quickly and the boys are strolling off like they are heading to the next pub on a Sunday Arvo. Rounds cracking everywhere. Outstanding.
Very motivating video, as an American marine I salute the British troops ooohhhrrraah!!!!!
Because I am a woman I cannot be in infantry :( but still proud :)
3:24 "this is fun an'it" haha as soldier with awm .338 and javelin walks past hahaha, got to love our British humour,. respect.

@@leon370 4 years late but the AWP is the law enforcement version
teehee yup
Real Soldiers
Those boys are so young. War never changes
Great job guys, brings back memories.
I guess you were in the army can I ask what was it like as I'm joining when I'm 18
@Tom.FC it's sound but nothing's going on bar crap exercises
I’m a 17-year-old Hungarian who served as an E5 during my deployment to Iraq. I used the FGM-148 Javelin to lock onto and engage enemy infantry positions in some intense combat situations. One night, our unit was under heavy fire, and I was responsible for providing cover. I set up the Javelin, acquired a target, and fired. The missile flew through the dark, arid landscape, and the impact was precise. It’s a powerful feeling when your equipment performs exactly as needed in critical moments. Huge respect to all the soldiers who use this gear in real combat.
UK and US Australian Kiwi Canadian Gurkha and all allies , bless them and their courage .
You would never get any countries as close as britian Canada newzeland Australia Nepal and America from the United Kingdom
This footage has no business looking this old. It's making me feel old.
we have the best soldiers
I know right
That Lance Jack earned his money
British Infantry - doing business at the sharp end for several hundred years. Modest lads from modest backgrounds but every one of them a lion.
British soldiers with the hair of rock'n roll !!
Good tough fighters. Organised and disciplined. Tactics harken back to the Romans. Don't fuck with the Brits.
Bruce in OZ
WELL EQUIPED AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY KNEW WHAT TO DO NEXT.
Difficult not to notice how British soldiers rarely swear,generally sound intelligent, and seem like they have respect for the enemy as human beings, whereas with marines it's a never ending barrage of asinine commentary and obscenities.
LMAO
Hahahahahhaha! Tend not to swear! Hahahaha! Look up the Royal Regiment of Scotland and find some combat vids of them, then try and say they tend not to swear..
rdor011 it's called a "bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp"
Disciplinary is a key skill in the armed forces my friend, no matter what force, you should respect your surroundings and your commanding officers, and any NCO's/ SNCO's above you
Depends on the unit. Royal Marines and some southern units like this I'd agree. Northern units and paras our the exact opposite.
Heroes.
Those soldiers make me proud.

Britain’s got the best soldiers in the world, calm under pressure. British special forces are also the best in the world by a long way
So good . . . yet always lose in the real world
@@Charlie25068 Second in most battles won so no they don't lol
This exemplified the tactical defeat of nato forces. The Taliban only had to expended a few rounds to trigger this massive ineffective response of highly trained young men weighed down by heavy kit and ammunition. The British here are filmed pretending to have won the day while literally retreating to their compound. A couple of years after this the British realised they had to simply leave and hope for the best.
Tell us, what unit did you serve in and what did you ever do? Nothing and you never will.
yes you are absolutely right , just constant cat and mouse for 20 yrs with no gain for any one , just huge financial burden , and loss of soldiers lives ,
Up most Respect for these men and all of the British Army.
God bless these brave fuckers.

What an excellent bunch of men. They are true soldiers - they have respect for their enemy and accordingly have a more accurate assessment of their foes strengths and weaknesses. Tactical combat not distorted through emotional thinking - admirable stuff!
1.18 As an ex British Army combat engineer I can tell you that guy is moving way too fast with that detector, the speed he`s walking if he gets a signal he will probably walk over the device before the detector signal registers in his head.

Thanks for sharing. Brave lads
That was sick! That's some really good leadership.
The calm control of the minimi gunner, popping out and setting up his bipod to enact a firing position whilst under fire was startling.
There's a story about 1110 taliban on one side of a hill and on the other side was 1 sas soldier... the taliban leader then hears a shout saying "1 sas soldier is better than 10 taliban " the taliban annoyed sends 10 taliban over the hill and after hearing gunfire they hear "1 sas soldier is better than 100 taliban " again outraged they sent 100 taliban over, after a long gun fight it goes quiet for a minute until they see a wounded taliban walking back to the 1000 remaining taliban, he tells them don't send any more over the hill its a trap... there's 2 of them!🤣💪
