Thank you lads for all you done for us, we are proud of every one of you’s. 🇬🇧 ❤️
You should be incredibly proud. Total respect
Thank you to all who served in the Falklands and those who serve today, your country is immensely proud of you.
I just got done re-reading "74 Days" by John Smith, an islander since the 1960's, who was present in Port Stanley throughout the invasion. Aside from a daily journal for each of the seventy-four days of occupation, Smith painted a wonderful portrait of islander life, of those who chose a more rugged existence where many of the modern conveniences that would have been available to them in the UK (many were "settlers" in the islands from Great Britain) were forsaken for a simpler way of life, peace and quiet, and sometimes a job opportunity. The politics of the whole war aside (and there were plenty to go around on both sides), if one could take for a moment the vantage point of one of the families on the Falklands, who wanted nothing but to live out their lives as they had wished under the Union Jack, then one can realize what an immense relief it must have been to those transplanted citizens when the British armada first showed on the shores of East Falkland that May. From the standpoint of the average British civilian living in the southern islands, their country's counter to the unprovoked Argentinian invasion was absolutely righteous.
a wonderful series..great questions by the young gentleman...loved the veterans responses...understanding your service's history is vital to enhancing esprit de corps..Thank you so much RN for these well put together, timely videos..
My personal memories, 45 Commando, we were very well led, briefed the whole time, food got scarce, I ate whole artic ration packs and still lost weight during the yomp.
You lie about something as basic as your name!
Why should any sane grown-up believe you?
God bless all who served.
Gods are fictional. Thanking these sky-daddies is an INSULT to the skills of those involved!
Shame.
A guy on this video says that the Falklands is the forgotten war. I don't know how anyone would forget the history of this country like that.
I'm sure there might be someone living in England who's level of general knowledge about the world is changing enough to not even know that London is a capital city. But you'll always get morons like that.
But anyone with a normal level of intelligence should remember the history of the Falklands war.
❤️❤️❤️
