They do, unfortunately the military aren’t actually run by the military but by politicians.

The biggest problem the military has is that it isn’t allowed to run things how it would really like to in its jurisdiction, because if they did everything would run perfectly and everyone would be safe and well provisioned, and then the public at home wouldn’t be scared of the military, which in turn would undermine the governments fundamental basis for control, and there would be nothing stopping the general public from more actively demanding the government be held to account.
@@InceyWincey what is the fundamental basis of a governments control? The military? Surely someone realises that military members are normal people and that in a government tyranny like situation most of the military would usually side with the people.
+TheNoobStevio The AK-47 used by the Afghans can't hit a human sized target at 200 yards twice even if its stuck in a vice. To make it worse, they tend to chop off the butt and shooting it while the rifle is at their hip or way over their heads. Accuracy is not their strength.
they were also suffering under American + NATO presence also... Airstrikes always killed civilians including children, women & old people from more than 20 years... but yeah... that was not allowed to be shown to the world...
It was the airstrikes that did this. If Americans put boots down on the ground and helped the afghan goverment before they started bombing the place for the revenge of 9/11 we would'nt have todays problems. Those air strikes created more tailiban fights than they killed.

British could have added more troops, and taken over.
Welp, the agreement with Taliban was signed when Trump was still in charge. Both Biden and Trump are to blame. Also, other countries also had their soliders in Afghanistan. Like mine, Czech Republic.
@@janpatka3303 Welp? Ok Boomer. Biden trashed everything Trump did, but was seemingly married to this one. But he changed the dates to the worst possible time. This is all Biden.
"I'm the General, using this Machine Gun, witha phacking Purpose" pure gold right there, m8

It didn't :(
That would be cool though.
yes just yes
the afgan sniper lookin at him be like: نينيزسنسرنس
كافر
The fact that there was no sniper fire surprised me they are in one of the hottest hot zones in Afghanistan.
@@kevinkocher9347 Yeah sure. They are under attack all the time because they are in one of the hottest hot zones!
Thats why they thought: Well we have time for this type of video right?
I bet you have no fucking idea where they are, you wouldnt even know it is Afghanistan without them saying..
I dont speak noodles.
@@quentinlopez7127 I bet hes on google maps right now to prove you wrong hahahaha

British soldiers are so good they have a sense of humor.
We all love you. From America
Stop starting fucking wars you drag us into
Love Great Britain x
simon shotter how about don’t help us? Not like we need ya
@@Amoore-vv9wx I do. And ok, I was born in Lancashire. But I emigrated to the states when I was three.
alister moore your point? If we were willing to put in all our effort, we would single handedly conquer the Middle East lol. They literally throw rocks as a form of attack. I respect you fellow brits but I promise we don’t need you the slightest you guys are just a delicacy.
As an ex soldier I find this absolutely hilarious....this guy is awesome!
This guy better be in Cod modern warfare 2019
He is a rare NPC on the campaign. You can hear him talking about the bulletproof windows a mile away
@@ispentthenightin7721 loooool hahahaha
He's busy shooting flares at the fooking locals
@@ispentthenightin7721 What misson? 😂
@Rahmat Izzat He could be ghost
It litteraly looks like a bunch of kids just playing arround mostly at the end where you see thay inocent laugh
That's literally what war is 75% of the time lmao
It says “my lord”
most soldiers are kids 16 to 21
@Toori Baba well it is for the soldiers. They are young people.
@kie I read the first 50 words
“One of Her Majesty’s finest 30mm Cannon!” Haha brill!
"Two paracetamol, big fucking Headache "
"Open aired windows.....BULLET PROOF in fact!!!"......that did it for me 🤣
"I'm the general, using this machine gun, WITH FUCKING PURPOSE!" lmao
Excessive use of the f-word, rapid-fire comedy with no hesitation, way too comfortable to the point of slight insanity, and at least one reference to Her Majesty? Definitely a Brit.
bla bla
***** Ah he is being endearing. I'd take it as a compliment.
Common British thing :P
The bloody great welsh flag tattoo on his back should be a slight hint
If I'm not mistaken, Brit can refer to the entire island of Great Britain. I could be mistaken.
10 years ago man...where is this soldier now? Just hope he is still fine drinking his tea and finding this funny video.
Probably beer instead of tea
@@charlesthebeagle4989 ALCOHOLIC ALCOHOLIC ALCOHOLIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@charlesthebeagle4989 probably, he is welsh
Jimbok21 omg Welsh is British
@@ziggyshaw4060 well drinking tea is kind of an English thing more than a British thing. Main reason other people say it's a British thing is because they don't realise that the other countries in Britain are nothing like England
Giving his mates a good giggle! I bet he kept them entertained when he could. So glad he came home alive!
taped 9 years ago. wow
Ikr
Hope he got back safe
8years ago
9? dony u mean 8? TImE TrAvvLeRR
HaleSpOokyJIM 5 no. The date uploaded is different to what he said at the beginning of the video. May 2009
Hold on, we're under attack?
Let me finish my tea first
Pretty Much.
I’m guessing ur American 🤦🏼♀️
it's such a stupid stereotype
- from an englishman
Ur gay
Go to mc Donald’s you fat shit
Me: “mom i want to become a soldier one day”
Mom: *nEveR, iTs nO fUn yUo wiLl onLy gEt yOurSelF cLaPped iN tHe aRmY*
The army:
I’ve seen videos of soldiers having breaks, it ain’t that bad... aside from the Russians flipping a man’s bed while the man is i. It.
ahha funni meme format mom so stupid
the government will only exploit you
@@coolsceegaming6178 yo what the fuck
I can't imagine any mom from before this generation saying that you'll get clapped wtf
I have never seen a soldier hate their job in such a comical way as much as this guy!
Hope this guy is still around
Yeah, I'm not sure how bad it is for vets from Britain but I think here in the States we lose more vets to suicide than to combat.
@@1977Yakko yeah man US Military is really depressing
@@rsoldat1 any Military gets to us that way
No rights in the Army
@@johnhariis250 sheesh I hope ur doing good
And it's really not even the actual branch that hurts our soldiers. It's the government, and those in civilian life.
This guy was so British that the water in the jerrycan turned into beer and the base later became a pub for the locals called “the shooting flare”
Dont wanna be that guy but he's Welsh
@@theobrignall4159, you not being that guy, that’s why I said British not English
Even read it with a Welshes accent too mind you.
@@theobrignall4159 oh and another thing he’s serving in the British army because guess what you guessed it again he’s British
@@theobrignall4159 don’t be that guy then, don’t say you don’t wanna be that guy when you obviously do, he is British because guess what Welsh Scottish English people are all British and Northern Irish
*Everybody gangster until British boi come in*
Imagine if we had recordings of WW1 and WW2 that were like this
Who else got this in their recommended 10 years later
I will not disclose that information without you telling me what you want it for.
@@datura0000 ok boomer
By the way, recommendations are based in WHAT you watch, not WHEN was recorded/uploaded
Yep 😎
I watched it 10 years ago... man do i feel old...
Why I love being British. You get these people everywhere.
😂😂
You better be Welsh or you can leave.
Thwack probably the stupidest comment I’ve seen.
@@rosspatterson1233 elaborate
Thwack it doesn’t matter where in the uk they are from. They’re just saying that they’re proud to be British after seeing this video. It doesn’t matter if the soldiers Welsh, Wales is in the UK, and he is a British soldier
@@rosspatterson1233 no, because Wales is superior and this is common knowledge, I see you are not from the UK because otherwise you would know that Wales is the UK, everything in the UK is Wales.
Imagine 10 years later and his drill sergeant saw this...
Sgt: What you did is right, private, but as for the language... drop a penny for each F word into the can.
Pvt: All m' savings. F*k!
Sgt: Now you have to ask for a loan, I guess.
10years later he is the drill sergeant now
10 years... I would hope he is dishing out the push ups 👍💪
Final Flash your not wrong.
@Auditing Wales Correct, drill instructors aren’t necessarily Sergeants. I think everyone has confused all basic training ever with one very specific scene from Forest Gump.
Been 14 years and "I'm the general, using this gun, with fuckin purpose" still gets me
