    RIP Chris gray. The circumstances of this soldiers death were in a BBC series called out War. This was filmed coincidentally at the same time by a different film crew.

    Is this video the one for the poor lad Chris Gray? I think it is so it didn't have a happy ending, R.I.P Chris, the MERT crews and the American Pedro crews were phenomenally brave to fly into these extremely dangerous situations but.... the lads on the ground are in the poop almost every day.🇬🇧🇺🇸✌✌

    This pulled my heartstrings hard, couldn’t help shedding some tears seeing our lads coming home like that. So glad we’re finally pulling out of that hellhole but I don’t want their fight to have been for nothing.. seeing how the taliban are on the counter offensive already makes me sick. Salute to all the heroes who’ve served in any war, we wouldn’t be here living as we do without you.

  • @Rabies4818

    Here we are in 2021, the reality of the conflict in Afghanistan coming to an end, a result and ending that we predicted when our soldiers first went there. So many young men and women have given their lives over the past two decades, such a waist. But, if we able to give them a second chance in life, they’d do it all again, because they were with the best mates and camaraderie that one could ever wish for in life. A friendship that still kindles after death, RIP

    Title needs renaming as the RAF was flying the cow. Pilot officer was in the co seat so fresh out of training? Good bit of footage I had a tear in my eye. I was once based down at RAF Lyneham before I moved to Leaming and I was in Thetre with the nimrod crew that set alight and crashed after a2a refuelling. All crew lost inc SAS and SBS personnel. I was talking to one of the special forces guys the night before. Wars and conflicts are a terrible place to experience you feel too detached when a civi.

    Soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq were lucky.. they always had air support to evacuate the wounded. In some war, like WW1, WW2, Korean war, Vietnam war. It was either impossible ( no helicopter ) or just impossible to have helicopters take out the wounded. Getting hit in the chest or artery was certain death.
