A remarkable but true story in this conflict- James Blunt prevented World War III. Russian special forces had seized the airport. The US commander of NATO forces ordered him to open fire and seize the airport. Blunt refused with the assistance of his senior British commander. They surrounded the airport and cut the Russians off. In three days with no food or water the Russians asked for talks and agreed to share the airport with NATO. There is an interview on YT where Blunt discusses this.
You have to check the documentary he did called Return to Kosovo. This is really moving.i can answer some of your questions. The kids were in a con cen tration camp, the British army did found the camp and they were the first to enter the camp. The kids running to them because they were starving. The British army did feed them and made the camp secure until the red cross arrived. You have to remember it was an ethnic war. The camp were full of the majority and they were lucky to be alive. A lot of mass graves were found and few by James and his colleagues. You can see 2 of them during the clip. I have to say I disagree when you say we made a mess ... we stopped the mess is the reality. It was really complicated mostly the Canadian and British were there. James do have other very happy music
She has no clue of what happened there. It seems she has only listened to the Serbian and Russian propaganda about the NATO bombing and not a clue of what happened before the bombing, about all the atrocities that Millosevici's regime committed towards all it's neighbors before getting to his genocide in Kosovo.

Captain James Blunt is respected by the British forces. My brother recently retired after 23 (he did 1 year longer than he should) years in the British army and he loves James as a singer. He's liked by the majority of the military, especially by the British army. James is a well respected officer of the British army and there isn't many of them around amongst the normal squaddies. Btw we didn't make a mess there we stopped genocide. It's one of the good things the UK and USA did. Genocide happened as we didn't stop it earlier. We went there as peacekeepers and didn't stop what was happening, so eventually we started bombing and being aggressive to stop it
Agree with everything except James being respected. He only went into this conflict to avoid getting dishonourably discharged for a failed hard drug test, and to get out of a boring assignment. He only got promoted as his dead was more senior. He risked his mens lives by being intoxicated in the field. Yet he did get commended for not following the order to attack the Russian’s over that airfield, and clearly did some horrific time in theatre. His complaints after are real too.
He really knows how to pull at the heart strings, that's for sure. After listening to that it reminded me of an older song by an Australian band called Redgum. It's called "I Was Only 19". Might be worth a listen. It really makes you think
Great reaction guys. Such a powerful song and one which deserves to get to be heard by a wider audience. The imagery in the video itself is shocking enough but the thing that always gets me in this video is the "thousand mile" stare of James when he looks at the camera - you can see the pain in his eyes and the images and memories he has locked away for a brief second. No one can tell a story through song and lyrics like James.
That cello…I have listened to the studio version of this song for 20 years, this version was so much more powerful and All I think of Ukraine. Loved it as I am a melancholy soul. I do suggest goodbye my lover, it’s my favourite Blunt song.
Beautiful reaction, guys go check out James Blunt Returns to Kosovo. He penned that song sitting beside his tank, he had to write down what he was seeing.
as a 3rd generation combat vet I can now understand my grandfathers war- ww2...my fathers war in vietnam and mine in Iraq just seem so senseless I dont talk about it because of that senseless..sadness is a good word
How this has only got 14k views is beyond me, this was a masterpiece. just shows that people don't want to see this. they're not bothered, don't care. as long as they are ok in their own little bubble. this video bothered me.
@@MikeandGinger i'm sorry, i didn't mean your video bothered me, i meant that No Bravery was a Masterpiece and you have many many thousands of subs, so i thought many thousands should have watched this, not just 14k, because these videos bring the vision of war in to reality, and people need to see it, but they don't seem to be bothered like you and i are. i'm sorry about the misunderstanding, sometimes i type things to mean one thing, but it looks like it means something else, i just read my post back and it looks like i'm attacking you. i feel real bad now.. what i'm basically saying is, a lot more people need to see this video, in my eyes this video is just as important as your monsters video. I'm Sorry about that. Paul.
James Blunt, before his music career, served as an officer in the British Army. He was involved in a well-known incident during the Kosovo War in 1999, which highlighted his strong moral compass and bravery. Blunt was a reconnaissance officer with the NATO forces, and during the conflict, his unit was given orders to seize an airfield in Pristina, which had already been occupied by Russian forces. The situation was incredibly tense, as it could have escalated into a major international incident or even a direct conflict between NATO and Russia. Blunt received a direct order from his superior, U.S. General Wesley Clark, to advance on the airfield and confront the Russians. However, Blunt, along with his British superior officer General Mike Jackson, disobeyed the order. Blunt argued that doing so could lead to a catastrophic escalation and a potential military conflict with Russia. General Jackson reportedly backed Blunt, saying, "I'm not going to have my soldiers be responsible for starting World War III." Instead of following the order, they decided to negotiate with the Russians, which ultimately prevented any violent confrontation. Blunt's decision, along with General Jackson's support, is credited with helping to avoid what could have been a very dangerous and volatile situation. The incident has been widely discussed as an example of moral courage in military leadership.
@ 5:03 You could of not chosen any better words to describe war.... A FUCKING MESS!!! I myself survived Vietnam. WHAT A FUCKING MESS...I STILL LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAY....
Mike and Ginger. Love your reaction videos. Ginger shows her emotional side to the James Blunt songs and I find it refreshing that I'm not alone in these emotions and I respect Mikes outwards (emotionally strong as a rock) stand. In the song, "No Bravery", I did take a small exception to Gingers comment about the free world politics and NATO forces making a mess of the Balkans. It was the the military juntas that took the leadership role or should I say, the "dictatorship" roles in these newly formed countries that were once Yugoslavia. Due to hatred of certain groups of people living in some of these regions, (take for example, Albanians), the politics and the military of some of these Balkan countries decided that ethnic cleansing (genocide) was needed. A Good friend and former roommate mine was a Sargent in the Canadian Military that was sent over originally as a UN peacekeeper to the Balkan area outside of Kosovo. I asked him one night, over a few beers, about his time in that region. He finally opened up to me about what he had seen and heard. His company was stationed at a checkpoint a kilometre outside of a town. They were told, under no circumstances, were they allowed to go past the checkpoint (UN Forces rules of engagement) towards this town. The Serb soldiers knew about this rule and exploited it to the fullest. The company was constantly bombarded with the sound of distant gunfire, crying and screams of women from the elderly to young babies. My friend and his company new what was going on in that town but were bound by UN law that they could not cross the checkpoint line to aid the civilians in that town. It was found out later through eye witness accounts that the vicious bastards were rounding up almost all males, from young teens to elderly men and executing them. The women were brutally S.A.'d and tortured. It didn't matter to the Serb soldiers if they were elderly, mothers, young teens or babies. the ones that had survived were kept around to continue being slaves. This affected my friend greatly. This was his PTS. I know all about the fog of war but this is beyond forgiveness and I hope those soldiers that are still alive and escaped justice know that their time will come when they will have to answer for their sick, twisted actions.
His latest, The Girl That Never Was, is another real hearkbreaker, and is about another event in his life. This song reminds me a bit of the First World War poets who came home -or not - telling how things really were for the troops. Very chilling poetry which I studied at college. War isn't what some people image.
Yeah James Blunt has it going on for sure he's got a definite major soul inside of him I don't know if anybody if you guys ever watch the video of him on stage with the band singing singing tears and rain makes me cry makes me think of my dead son
His new book loosely based on a made up story ,if you read the part about kosovo you will see this song jump off the pages,Very sad he has to carry these memories .another great song you should hear his duet with Ed Sheeran Elton John's no sacrifice , brilliant duet .
If you are looking for an optimistic Song from James Blunt...well..THE GREATEST...give it a try...but hold your tissues ready...just in case...it's still James Blunt
I challenge you. Yes, the both of you! :-) To react to Hanabie - We Love Sweets. Take it as an entertaining piece of madness coming from Japan. ;-) Cheers.
Thank you for you reaction to this song. Maybe it's time for some positivism from James Blunt. Try the song 'The Greatest'. But please take the lyric video because the original does not cover the intention of the song seen from a father to his child.
Yep, it wasn't us being the bad guys, we were on the right side for once. Yugoslavia (as it was known) wanted to suppress the region of Kosovo because it was ethnically different, being mainly Kosovo Albanians and not Yugoslavian, they wanted to be independant and Yugoslavia deciding they needed to be raped and genocided. NATO, especially the UK and Tony Blair, came to the aid of Kosovo, providing soldiers, tanks, planes and bombing Yugoslavia. Kosovo officially gained independance from Serbia in 2008. We (NATO/Britain) didn't screw up Kosovo, we prevented it being genocided out of the history books if anything. Serbia and Albania hate each other because...reasons, it's a little bit like Texas having a lot of Mexican or people from Mexican heritage in it, the US hating Mexico and suppressing their votes in elections because despite being in our country, they're ethnically our enemy. Texas wanting to become part of Mexico or its own country and the US invading Texas to kill everyone. I know 'the west' are normally the bad guys in a lot of stories but not this one, we stood up for the little guy and fought the good fight. You can find footage on RUclips of NATO soldiers arriving in Kosovo and being raucously applauded by the citizens, we were their freedom fighters, not the aggressors. Tony Blair is essentially a folklore hero in Kosovo. Can't say that about many places.
James said he was brave soldier and all of his men but by the end James said none of them felt brave just sad and depressed full of horror of what they had seen and done ,
Today I have been given the quote: war is a place where young man (who do not know or hate each other) to kill each other by orders of elderly man (who do know and hate each other) but do not kill each other ....
War is just two maniacs playing chess, but both players just have 16 pawns each. They don't see soldiers or the innocent civilians as people, they're numbers, they're cannon fodder. Almost every war in history can be boiled down to the ego of one man (not to be sexist but come on guys, it's mostly us) getting out of control and millions die for it. Conflict exists in almost every animal species, from hunting food to exerting dominance, but war is so fucking stupid. You can justify some wars, Hitler needed to be stopped for example, but wars fought over just territory, people being killed just so someone can draw a map differently is the most insane and stupid thing we do as a species. The number of people, promising and talented people, who have been erased from history because of one particular maniac wanting his country to own more fields is staggering. When you look at war like that, you realise just how fucking dumb we are. We're not civilised, we're still animals, just animals with computers and cars. So many young people could have been saved from their deaths if two people put their egos to one side and just spoke like adults and compromised. It's why I'll never join the army, I'm not dying (or killing) for some dickhead who doesn't know my name, laying down my one shot to enjoy this amazing planet, just to become a digit in a database somewhere in the annals of history. I have respect for those who do fight to protect me, but I could never do it myself.
You can hear the his hatred and desperation in this, and what we fought for is turning back to shit again. This was a horrendous action, we went to defend the innocent. And weren't allowed to do what was required, the UN was hamstrung by too many rules, we stood by and watched children die, and could do nothing I'm with Ginger it pisses me off.
War is always disgusting, but we didn't make a mess in Kosovo. We stopped a genocide. Those kids with their arms in the air are thanking the troops. NATO has come to their rescue. They have safety, finally.
All the children had to fend for themselves all their parents were massacred put in body pits the horror and mutilation was horrific. Mankind at its worse
There was a documentary of James going back to Kosovo if you want.. its been over 20 years since this war & yet conflicts, genocides etc are still happening. It hasn't stopped. Its just moved elsewhere.
Respect to JAMES BLUNT fighting for the freedom of Kosovans. Serb nazis were committing shocking cowardly war crimes. The forces of the Slobodan Milosevic regime committed rape, killed many Albanian civilians and expelled them during the war, alongside the widespread destruction of civilian, cultural and religious property. This is why to this day many people around the world don't really like serbs. Whether their attitudes have changed for the better here in 2022, i don't now. However their war crimes 25 yrs ago has seriously tainted their reputation. May GOD bless the souls of all those poor innocent victims. RIP ! 💙❤ Unfortunately we still have modern day warn crimes by Israel on Palestinians too. Going back many decades, but american politicians/government likes to turn a blind eye on this matter. Yet when Serbs did it, they took military action against them. There's double standards/hypocrisy. Most nations governments are corrupt. They're full of bs. They only stand up for the victims, when it suits them either financially or in terms of geographical conquest. Not just america, but other countrie's governments too.
Please get your facts straight before saying things like we miss things up the majority of the people of Kosovo welcome to the Western intervention to stop the genocide and for those people who served there like myself hearing someone who has no idea what they're talking about saying we missed things up is pretty hurtful. please do better with your research
we made a mess over there? this is one of the few conflicts the U.K and U.S actually made a difference in, we stopped a mass scale genocide, please do better.
You can feel the scars of war in his voice.
