I was single throughout my career. On active operations the families of my married mates (‘pads’) would put a little something in for me. That was a lovely touch.
Hard lessons were learned in Afganistan however the British soldiers were under no illusion it would be deadly and went in with unbelieveable courage and determination.

one thing i notice is , the tv production company hoped to follow 4 lads from start to finish. Obviously 2 bailed some they lost half the show. From a company of 120 bods, every single one turned down the company. They were forced to follow the OC to make the end of the series. something in that
Go there on holiday these days. Well guided tours, I went in September. Beautiful country. Lovely people, the Taliban are a bit humourless but 'bodyguards' cheered up.
Not covered up the exact details of what happend to Mclaren have been rightly kept out of the public as he was probably captured and tortured to death, his family know exactly what happend and that's all that matters.
@@jamescoupland131I just looked it up poor lad suffered greatly! I'm not a soldier but I have been interested as of late to more learn about the Afghan Conflict. I know our Army has a huge issue of mass r's and bullying though very similar to America and Canada, frankly disgusting tbh but the Talban also are way worse!
@@dafyddchandler2514our army doesn’t have a problem of “mass rape” lmao wtf 😂😂Do you know the gravity of the statement “mass rape”. That doesn’t mean a couple soldiers done it over 20 years. Mass rape by soldiers means from top down they promote soldiers to rape civilians. If you think that happened your crazy
That young highlander was killed as a result of bullying its disgusting this happened in a war zone where everyone should have eachothers backs. Who had his back and who sent him out to look for a peice of kit on his own
Been fighting invaders since Alexander the Great. They fought and beat the Soviets and they had more soldiers there. Of course help from the CIA helped.
and it was all for nothing in the end ,our mp,s have given our country away and made you lot look stupid for risking and giving up your one and only life ,i bet you regret it now .
The lads never looked stupid they did their duty as soldiers.I don’t understand the political reasoning behind the campaign unless there is some resources in Afghanistan the west wants ie minerals something we don’t know about.
@@edwardodonnell6857 I wonder where all the opium from the poppies went? There must have been a lot of money involved if even the taliban stop fighting to harvest the poppy fields.
The Brits didn’t really have any super dangerous areas of operations. US took all the high intensity areas and our companies wiped out taliban with heavy losses from IEDs
@Dondada1001 is that not the point of the term *coalition*? Sorry we aren't trained with a mindset of every man for himself, we was all at war together, do you not call for air support when you *need* it? Do you not need a medic when your shot? Going by your logic the closest medic being british should either leave you cause ur a big boy or rub it in your face, bloody G.I Joe wannabe Why is it the British army that are requested to train forces around the world and not American?
Thanks for uploading the 4th part only taken 7 years 🤣
Literally 😂
It wasn't, it was up for years but it got removed due to copyright which is silly given the age of the series
Ikr
😂😂
Yeah same! UA-cam recommended it the moment it was uploaded!
Respect to all these brave soldiers. Such a disgrace they aren't always given the help they need.
Aye too right mate! Sadly it still seems they are not getting the support they need even now proper disgrace...
All that effort. All that sacrifice. All that money. All that emotion.
10:37 Gurkha closest to the camera is my uncle - Rfn Vijay Rai - KIA 15 October 2011. Miss him!
So glad this has been reuploaded 😁
I have been waiting ages!

Nothing shows how stupid you are like quoting another man like that makes it mean more
The guy you quoted literally hated white people dumbass
Geeez to think it's been 15 years since I completed my tour in Afghanistan, OP Herrick 10. I wonder how many stayed in and still serving?
Thank you for your service mate I hope your doing well now.

Finding young Scott must have been devastating for the lads.
Its crazy how much I miss Afghanistan

He was not blown up.
He was murder by taliban
And God had Mercy on his Soul.
Lest we forget

The Taliban are a wild bunch, one minute they look like farmers and the next they have AK-47’s firing at you…

What a waste of life. What was the net result of fighting in this shit hole?
Leaving in a hurry. Couldn't stay without the Americans and they were off. All those young lives wasted and for nothing.
and it was all for nothing in the end ,our mp,s have given our country away and made you lot look stupid for risking and giving up your one and only life ,i bet you regret it now .

Are you kidding? Helmand was known from the outset as an absolute hellhole.
na... Helmand was one of the worst. Brits are warriors. You need to stop trying to be controversial
