British training is the best on earth, no wonder the Americans were amazed at the afghans they witnessed after British training.
BulletproofKam lol
that's true, and it's probably because our "training" is _ok shut up, take a tank._ Ok, but seriously the issue is that we train them up to use expensive airstrikes and cruise missiles, which obviously they don't have, and when they try to go out on their own, they don't know how to fight without them.
Jack Where did you get that rubbish from?
Afghan has no air force and American assets aren't there no more so definetly no airstrikes o I don't think we're training them to do so.
British training is the best.
Why we kick ass around the world and for such a tiny island the influence the Brits have had well do I need to go on?
@@gangstar8652 You're agreeing with him...
He's saying the Americans use too many airstrikes, cruise missiles, tanks etc, things the Afghans don't have....
British I'm very clearly not.
Having found this channel out of nowhere, I’ve got to say the content production is fantastic; BBC-quality (I’m sure I recognise the narrator’s voice) on an independent RUclips channel. Just brilliant.
That’s because it’s run by the forces
Seeing this video today after Afghanistan fell to Taliban in 11 days is kinda funny & sad at the same time.
Brits have been fighting there for over 200 years
Terrance Perkins And still can’t control the place. When will they learn? My great grandfather was sent there during WW1 at the age of 19. He came back scarred never spoke of what happened except that the Afghans are a warlike people. He said “they will fight anyone, they’ll even fight their brothers. And if you pay them to fight, well they’re landed.”
@@johnjohansson6277 The trouble is, if these people are left to crack on, they branch out and spread their beliefs and violence. By having a presence there they aren't as able to operate freely.
Harley-Ray Hillman But has spending millions of pounds on a conflict and expending countless young lives been proven to work? Absolutely not. Armies have fought and defeated armies, empires have fought and defeated empires but you can’t defeat an ideology and people group in the same way. Afghanistan is a failed state and has no cohesion. It’s a patchwork of many different tribes and groups. The Taliban can’t be defeated with bombs and bullets and Afghanistan can’t be made to work by Western militaries. Why is it so hard for Britain and America to keep their filthy noses out of other countries’ business?
@@johnjohansson6277 Because people with their ideology don't just stay in Afghanistan. If they did they could be left to suffer from their own primitive lifestyles. They make their way to other countries and kill civilians as a show of power. This is why we can't simply leave them to it fight themselves.
Harley-Ray Hillman Have you ever asked why terrorists attack the western world? It’s because we attack them. The US and Britain’s involvement in the Middle East in general has been catastrophic. Most of the political problems in the region are as a result of poor and quite frankly ignorant policy making in the West. The more you kick a hornets’ nest; the more you get stung.....
Don’t buy that bullshit that they “will spread their ideology/take over” or “want to take your freedom away”. That is, for the most part, propaganda that’s rolled out so people like you don’t speak out against your country interfering with another. War is a business and an economy. For that reason (and miscalculated colonialism) this mess has been created. Life ain’t as black and white as you think. There are no goodies and baddies in this world mate😂.
this makes me happy, finally real progress is being made
A lot of comments are hateful towards the armed forces. They should be well respected for protecting there country. There Job
"Protecting". More like fighting for a rich man's money and greed
AB the British are different and accepted much more than Americans, since Americans are so shoot first ask later
Protecting your country
How?
By Fighting very poor and week country which is hundreds of thousands miles from your country
Interstellar music?
was about to comment that
Great movie
Thank you Irish Regiment
Adi Bosanac 1:02 there you go kid
@@johnjohansson6277 😂😂😂😂kids nowadays they dont know how to listen
It’s Actually the Royal Irish Regiment
Royal Irish.
Royal Irish is British not Irish
Where showing Russia that we can keep on going after 10 years? Ahahah
Many respects 🇮🇪 from 🇬🇧
Wow so much hate in the comments. Like the MoD and DoD would look at RUclips commenter for advice 😂 our forces do amazing thing in our world. Look at the Royal Marines and their humanitarian work throughout natural disaster plagued areas such as the Philippeanes
How cute.
@@declanroberts8934 yes
. wish brits wil also do it in the Philippines...
Oh dear
No hate here! The British Military did a fantastic job. They made good on their word to help the people Afghanistan .They did so not because it’s easy but because it was the right thing to do. I’m not a Brit but seeing how the British Military and the British Government stood by their friends makes me wish I was a Brit. I am a huge admirer of the British. Their word is their bond! Now the U.K. is doing a GREAT job supporting the Ukrainians defend themselves against Russian aggressors.
🇬🇧GOD SAVE THE KING🇬🇧
The Hans Zimmer music though
10:14
is this suspiscious or is it just me
UK and US support (or at least tolerate) friendly militia as well as working with government forces
haha that's probably be the afghan national army
Those are Afghan national army
Afghan troops so much more professional now
Yeah...
Bring our troops home we need them here.
Now that is the question.
we didn't have to get bailed out at all were training them you seem to forget we got the best trained army in the world he who dares wins I.E SAS mug
II noticed no magazines on their weapons ?
Probably because they training
@Ranger Media you serve here?
An afghan solution to an Afghan problem??? That'll be the day....🙁 pointless british deaths and life changing injuries for another man's cause well that's just my opinion I'm sure other people have a different view on it.... Rest in peace to the fallen....
A month have around 720 hours and she is is like at 16:33 they are extremly busy they fly on an average of 180 hours everg single month . What the F**K . I didnt get it , anyone please help me out about it ...
Any soldiers on here? I heard havin a peak in your beret was a no no unless you were an elite regiment like paras or marines etc? Those afghan boys a few are wearin it... just curious :) cheers
paratroopers and commando's would wear a peaked cap. uk special forces wouldnt wear a peaked cap :)
2:57 I think there's something wrong with their rifles
they have no ammo
Because they are training , they don’t need bullets for training or marching
Not worth defending.
*oil*
@@comradef191old6 underrated comment
@@breadman2983 what about salt plains
Shape your beret properly ladies xD you gotta mould that pride and wear it
To protect global british values and safeguard global british military bases and protect international security. And british military sovereignty and integrity around the world. Lol..
Someone has to protect the herion trade. That's why they wear side arms.
I personally feel that women soldiers in Afghanistan is both amazing yet terrifying. Culturally, I think it will help changing tribal opinions on women and their roles in civilization. That being said, I shudder to think of how badly the male soldiers are tortured by the Taliban, let alone female soldiers.
I applaud all the troops of every country who have tried to help the people of Afghanistan. But the truth is, it is all for nothing. It’s a pipedream to think that those people will be able to keep a functioning government.
The world will never know
@moonbeam tell me more my whole life I've all ways wanted to be in the military and work my way through the ranks science I was a kid but don't know what to do science I have been told about these wars and that we started them and don't know if I could join beacuse I would be doing the wrong thing what do you think I should do and tell me why I just want to know as much as possible
@@martinsangster6580 do the right thing. Don't let people stop you from it.
1:23 Solemani?
yep
@@ninjagameez ?
no
@@uioplkhj real talk i don't even remember making that comment...
We got our arses kicked in Helmand and left with our tails between our legs. We also left the Afghan most closely tied to 9/11 and al Qaeda, Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, in power ffs! All we are doing now is effectively doing is arming Warlords and Drug Barons. I wonder which British soldier will be the last to die for this lost cause?
no real reason to still be there, they just haven't figured out a really good excuse to leave.
Lithium
wut is britis
And they can start by sorting out the berets
Debate as policy.
*DID SOMEBODY SAY OIL???????????????????????????????????????????????????????*
Or poppy fields
Lol . That's true
Haji wants his counry back. He will succeed.
we train them, then fight them
The military industrial complex and warmongers want their profits.
Lets hope their performance is better than years earlier when Wikileaks revealed that the Americans and the Afghan President were very disappointed with the performance of British forces in Helmand and had to be withdrawn and replaced by American troops, how embarrassing that was? On that occasion the British were found to be hiding behind the walls of their camp, leaving the Afghan farmers to fend off the Taliban by themselves, how humiliating to be exposed by Wikileaks like that?
Britian is the world only country which build and keep other countries 100% safe.
The Wolverine Yes but those countries are now doing much better off than the previously would of been doing
And America is the one that 100% destroys countries
America can't do it
@@JSD2001 looool you clearly haven't spent much time in education. Go online and search "dark ages" while UK had nothing and spread diseases India had cups and beds made of gold. UK went and robbed it all and that's how they got rich just by robbing other nations not helping them 😭😂😂 they would have done far better without the brits
RIP grammer
Once the funding is finished, those soldiers are going home
Obviously, do you expect people to fight if they aren't paid?
They can't if they don't get funding. Their economy is in shambles and you expect them to be importing weapons, food and equipment all on their own?
Because that was the orders...
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
All the hard work of u people got spoiled by some leaders😭
1 reasons. Because we want to :)
Oh
Please!
I
Understand

Please

I bought back lots and lots of heroine from afghanistan and now i am fawking rich
Millions & millions of pounds spent & very sadly many lives lost & it's all for nothing. Afghanistan has been in a mess for hundreds of years & it will continue to be. Pull our people & our money out now!
admiralpicard2010 Not likely, all those poppies.
War is money!!! You really think our forces are there to spread freedom and democracy!? lmfao
*no, we need the oil*
The British army used to be quite good until the end of the 1980's, now its just pathetic to be honest.
If U r that good, U wouldn't have been bogged down for 20 years.
Remember it is the Graveyard of Nations. Remember the Khyber Pass.
Not exactly a quick 5 minute job to fix a whole country now is it.
why do you say "so called islamic state" in all of your videos?
pretty sure they are islamic
@@rob4214 but they are islamic
Because they are an illegitimate state. By not saying so called we are effectively recognising them as a independent state.
Everyone bare in mind that IRAN have not invaded another country since 1798!!
Who asked
Just leave the afghans to it! Let them build there own country! Stop giving them money after money after money!! Just leave them to do it alone!!
BulletproofKam why
That’s kind of the point of us training them
Aged like milk
Because the U.S hadn't order to leave.
master1941 aha. Get back to school and learn how to spell properly
We don't take orders from you, it's the other way round poodle
The Brits are still in Afghanistan because they didn’t cut and run. The way the Americans left was 🙈disgraceful. There were many killed including U. S. MARINES because of the way they left. They also left the Afghan Nationals who had helped them to the “mercy” of the Taliban. The U.S. didn’t withdraw from Afghanistan in an orderly and planned operation. The U.S. RAN!! The issue is about staying or going it’s about the manner in which they left. The U.S. Vice President said they had a plan and were following it. REALLY? They left with the people they promised to help stranded. The Military Aircraft and the chartered aircraft had empty seats on them. They also left American Nationals behind with the advice that they lay low. The President said they weren’t going to leave anyone behind . SHAMEFUL!
🇬🇧GOD SAVE THE KING🇬🇧
Why are the Brits still in Afghanistan? Because the troubles ended, and they need a site for live fire excercises to keep the soldiers at peak usefulness. If it weren't here, itd be any othe theater of war for same purpose
Ozdave McGee wow, I actually agree. It is a good idea.
We're not anymore!!! Past Forces News: Terry Taliban won the day. Mark my words, Britain will be back, though. Didn't learn the lesson in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Afghan wars, why not try a fourth time? Huzzah!
Well they r protecting poppy fields an mining lithium
Gonna say it now and once I think the USA is the problem no offense.
But that's my opinion
Because brits are much better people than american.
Pakistan zindabad emarat islami Afghanistan Taliban zindabad isi cheaf gn hameed the world history check the history of the world history Taliban is honest groof in the world

They haven't lost anything. They completed their mission.
АФГАНЦЕВ И ДРУГИЕ МУСУЛЬМАНСКИЕ СТРАНЫ НЕ НАДО ЗАЩИЩАТЬ ОТ МУСУЛЬМАН ИХ НАДО ЗАЩИТИТЬ ИМЕННО ОТ ВАС КОТОРЫЕ НЕ ПРОШЕННО С ОРУЖИЕМ ПРИШЛИ НА ЭТУ ЗЕМЛЮ И ДЕЛЯТ МУСУЛЬМАН НА ТЕРОРИСТОВ И НА МИРНЫХ !
cuz there are opium and oil fields there
because they are there to support their US master.
Those headdresses look rediculous with berets. And unfortunately they will be removed from the military once nato leaves and general was chatting shit, afghan soldiers are useless and hes never shared the dangers, a command tent maybe....
Phil OConnor I did wonder why they weren't camouflaged, suppose there's no point wasting the money on something that won't be used for long
pol dalaigh 😂😂😂 good one. You should do stand up.
pol dalaigh What gives you the right to venture outside of your country with the exception of defending allies from invasion.
US invades countries then pretends that's normal
Sorry mate most of your post dose not make grammatical sense....as for the last part of your post, britian had been invading, raping and destroying cultures all over the planet long before america was even conceived.
pol dalaigh - satanic Anglo Jewish are hated and opposite in Afghanistan and everywhere because of enormous crimes against Afghanistan and other nations
British propaganda
Faisal Wadud our country isn't big enough for propaganda
Pure British propaganda ... truth of the matter is .. unfortunately .. Afghan Army is struggling and hundreds of Afghan army grunts die every month ... don't believe the hype ... US and Brits do not want to leave behind any sophisticated equipment behind ... and leave Afghan Army to fight with only used and worn out 16s .... sad ......
In this war between US/NATO/Regime & Taliban, Pakistan will emerge victorious
Aman Pasha well trained dumbass
either way, the saudis are winning
And then Biden came along…
Will the UK have to pay for the rebuilding of Afghanistan like they want Russia to do in the Ukraine?
