    Hey guys, this was a really great video. I especially like the scenes of the fellas walking up to the Kabul MOD, something about it is so surreal. I also appreciated the time the crew and soldiers took to discuss the frame of mind you have to be in when facing monotony as a fighting force, often left out.
    Also nice treat to see the ADF there :P
    Really keen to see what else this channel comes up with, especially regarding the developments in Afghanistan these days. Its tough to think this conflict has been going on for almost all my life.

      1) please tell me where I lied
      2) we went to Afghanistan in the first place as it had become a haven for terrorism
      3) the aim to start with was to try to establish a stable Afghanistan government able of carrying out its own counter terrorism operations, at the beginning we began to fight like we did in other wars however over time we have learnt and realised that this is not a war that is possible to ‘win’ the only way to do so is to support the ANA in establishing a government capable of providing law and order to the country

      They weren’t exactly local military. The Afghan army and police in areas dominated by the Taliban were predominantly from the north and a different ethnic group that doesn’t even speak the same language as the people. Their awful conducting of themselves and their separation from locals is part of the reason they failed.

      I kinda agree the total lack of knowledge about their culture and history would’ve shown u this was gna fail the only way this would’ve worked is grass roots real tribal congress that separated the country into sub divisions with some autonomy but in the latter being a consortium of states in a country or republic and this is due to the diff types of Muslims Sunni and Shia plus the diff dialects spoken in the various valleys corresponding to the diff areas in which they trade meaning diff ways of interpreting the Quran etc whew 😅 that was a lot have a good new year 😊

    England alone, have been at war with Afghanistan for 180 years with the involement of the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Anglo-Aghan wars. In some form or another, Aghanistan will always be at war. We have records dating back 250 years of Afghanistan at war which is about when the country came to be formed, and it's extremely consistent.
    They are never at peace for more than 30 years before they're plunged into another conflict. There are gaps here and there, but war is the very backbone of the Afghan existence, and way of life.
    It's also important to note, that Afghanistan is not an old country at all. The land has switched hands, and borders many times over history, but it was primarily owned by Iran for the previous 250 years by the Safavid Dynasty. Since then even, the country has been taken over by rival factions many times. With the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and the Republic of Afghanistan both coming into power via coup.
    This country is always going to be at war from my point of view. They have known nothing else. A very strange patch of land indeed.

    Do other infantry regiments (not paras) do this sort of stuff?

      All infantry regiments will form part of the rotation in operational theaters, depending on the Brigade they are attached to and in what phase of the training/deployment cycle they are currently in.

    • @BFBSCreative

      @Chubby T Yes. Tactical recognition flash (TRF) is the official British military term for a coloured patch worn on the right arm of combat clothing by members of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. It is similar to, but distinct from, the DZ Flashes worn by members of Airborne Forces.

  • @WICKEDMAN85
    @WICKEDMAN85 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Paras like the RMC are the type of troops you don't mess around with in the field!! However the best British asset in Afghanistan are the Gurkhas as the understand the culture. As they understand Hindi which has similarities with Urdu, I have found them the best troops to engage with the ANA. The sooner NATO pulls out the better as its been a brutual and long conflict with little achieved if honest!!

  • @neilnelson7603
    @neilnelson7603 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If this was in Sub-saharan Africa, NATO would have been considered a colonial power. That is why Sub-Sahara Africa rarely have NATO forces directly engaging the natives as compared to the Middle East and North Africa. Sometimes, psychological warfare is much better than combat warfare cause nobody gets physically hurt except their feelings.
