One of the best documentaries about the afghan war. It shows the futility and powerlessness of the defensive fight against a guerrilla force which can sneak across the border. It gives a nice perspective of the conflict as seen from Afghan villagers (easy targets for,Taliban as Americans cannot defend them), the afghan captain (seems to be a smart and good leader, not a stone-head like so many I’ve seen in other documentaries), the afghan soldiers (not the smartest and most disciplined soldiers) and the America major. Basically both OP and COP are sitting ducks, easy targets and not sure that they have survived this ever ongoing war. I feel sorry for the afghan soldiers who are basically risk,being overrun every day and for,the American major who,is down to,earth, respectful, but constrained....very sobering story about the war.
Jan Van Mulders- Yours is one of the more thoughtful and pretty much 'dead-on' assessments/comments about this vid, and the war as a whole. Well done.
I will try to post my thoughts as a 7 time deployed member of CJSOTF-A/CJSOTF-SE and maybe answer many of the questions and comments others have posted. Everyone has opinions, some very strong, some rightly so, some not, some made by ppl who are going off of visceral feelings, or what someone else said/told them, and not by going and looking at things for themselves.
I dont mind ANYONE'S opinion or outlook, or assessment, as long as it is formed off of facts, and duly researched, and not going off of what someone told them, or what so-and-so heard through their friends brothers wife's best friends hamster.
This showed how much bonding of love and affection these soldiers had for one another.
They were sick on duties, while Talibans were enjoying fighting and living again as common men.
Talibans were in offensive position in these 20 years, while Afghan and NATO army was in defensive mood to prevent their casualties.
You guys may disagree and bash me but may ALLAH protect my Taliban fighters.......... We just fighting for our land that's all we don't want American influence here......
Us Americans can understand that, but you can't have a radical Islamic government either where people have to watch what they say and do, raping little boys amd beating girls is a cowards way of life, giving no education also is cowardice. If your people weren't involved amd responsible flying planes and killing our people in the towers you would have never seen us in your country. Not only that your country had plenty of chances to hand over the people responsible for 9/11 and you didn't do that so you paid the price. Elect a good government that's equal and fair and establish law amd order on the humane side of things instead of this eye for an eye bullshit
@@AlQaedaFighter Taliban was made by America t handle Russia. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
عجیبہ قیصہ روانا وا اللہ دی پہ ٹولو مسلمانانوں رحم وکڑی او خاص پہ پختنو خدایا امن راولے
💔😢
Ameen rora
That Afghan captain has a heart of a Lion and his love for his Country shows
Heart of dollars to cash by betraying their brethren citizens of Afghanistan.I considered him to be ashamed of his coward act of kindness towards the invaders .How someone can justify to invade any country just because the state rules are not liked much to US ?? How Afghanistan/taliban could be threat to a superpower ??If they invaded just for Usama bin laden ,then who will be responsible for thousands of citizen died and disabled during this long war of history??..American should be ashamed of their act of invasion, and should parden from humanity for spreading war around the globe ,just to boost their amunition buisness.
proud to ANA and thankful from US troops for helping and going together with afghan troops .
long live AFG
Thanks to the brave men and women in the US military deployed to Afghanistan. May God watch over you
what a joke, may dogs chew on you
If they are so brave then they should invade north Korea which has WMD........invading poor countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya is not a bravery bro........think about it
@@115Hmmmm already have . no more thought needed
13:37 I am dead from laughing. Aghan soldier from his Captain : who’s shooting ? Captain: it’s Americans. . Soldier: why’r they shooting ? It’s pointless. There’r firing in our direction. 😂
😂🤣😭
😁😁
Since they were wasting rounds for no reason n the camera was on... The U.S.A. wanted to be sure that everyone seen us backing them up as they made fun of us for helping them get their country under control...
Prob taliban also in that direction
hahaah
I miss my Afghan brothers, fighters, true defenders of their country, I wish them well!
@ least these guys look MUCH BETTER than the usual Afghani forces I see on YT!! Hopefully they can prosper! Good luck my Brothers and stay safe!! Liberate yourselves!
Loss of brother Lance Corporal Austin in Quan Tri, Vietnam causes me to pray for you guys. Please be safe.
love these programs that tell us what is going on. In America we are taught (wrongly I now know) that There are good Taliban. I will say this to my friends so they may know the truth.
God bless captain Brahim , he’s a true patriot,
🤣🤣🤣..... love Taliban
Salim Al-Jabry yeah you right we only see what the news are feeding us, we can’t really imagine how it is in reality , but mr Ibraham seems to have his heart in the right place and wants the best for his country, Why would he be risking his life and the life of his family,, if that wasn’t the case,,
@@heros670 all shall pass 😊
These Afghan soldiers seem a lot more disciplined and capable than most I've seen in docs and reports. That is a good sign I'd hope.
Look at a Marines Eye.
Look into the AnA''s eye..
Lions vs Lambs
God I Love Our Military Soldiers
its at least 10 years old^^
@@igot99problemsbutmyaltaint81 I only see ANA in the really dangerous place so far, the US inside baracks in front of a desktop monitor and paying civilians with goods for maybe useless infos and shooting at the direction of the allied ANA in 13:37 isn't very "pro" too^^ and doesn't pakistan get any US aid anymore? their help for the groups they liked in 1979-89 was very large...
@@KilonBerlin yea..
Half decent I was shocked.
Other vids made me loose all hope.
If they can all be even close to this they have a chance. Sad thing is with discipline they could be great, idk what there issue is, they must not get paid anything.
At least we are trying to guide this beast of fluid allegiance in the right direction. I'm proud to live in a country of integrity rather than one of indifference and apathy. It's easy to call the plays from the bleachers
Space Assassin Speckenbelcher Integrity?😂😂😂
wow i can relate all the afgan army guy want is smoke hashish and come home late . waw ...... hes human
Very well made documentary
Wow...when you cant fight them simply blame pakistan....
The Taliban is all Pakistanis lol
@@ryanm7615 allallPakiControl
That afghan fighters call with the Taliban lmao that was awesome
🤣😂😂🤣🤣My best moment in th documentary😅🤣😂i started laughing when he asked him where he was was exactly 😅🤣😂😂😂😂
When he said what orders has barak obama giving you haha
Waa... baa... abaa hu...
That dog barking, at the beginning, made me think of all the stories I've heard on how vicious the dogs are in Afghanistan. Everyone says it's not normal on how vicious they are.
In alot of the "holding yards" inside cops and fobs where LNs were kept, the guards would have dogs. Simple pets big babies with no training what so ever. The Afghanis were terrified of them even the pups. An air force female could walk around by herself with a 15 lb pup and no one would mess with her
When I was a kid they would show these same kind of documentaries on tv about Vietnam...and how American soilders were making a difference there...look how well that worked out...the definition of insanity is repeating the same actions over and over with the same results...
No,its repeating the same identical actions over and over EXPECTING different results.
Exactly, American's go and instigate bigger wars just so they can leave during the middle of the war. Leaving behind the ppl they talked into fighting.
@@AsianAmericanGuy I think their intent is to reinforce the ideas of the ones they are fighting. An example is ISIS. If anyone doesnt think isis doesnt believe they ran the US out of iraq and Afghanistan they are crazy. The real problem is the citizens also believe this now.
America means well, but War isnt the same as WW2 and it will never be again. It is futile to war against our neighbors. Instead, we need to learn and understand then leave them be.
*Vietnam and Korea was fought to stop the spread of Communism and the U.S. won the war on Communism and the cold war, Afghanistan is different, because the U.S. is now fighting the war on Islamist militants, Al-Qaeda attack the U.S. first on many occasion before September 11.*
Insh'Allah indeed
No matter what it takes do not let the Taliban get back across the border. Call in reinforcements, whatever it takes.
If you can get a drone photo of them crossing the boarder, use a dam smart bomb on them.....
Inchallah in god willing peace will come on day....no more war enough is enough...time for love and peace........
Then you better pray for a different species to appear. I'm convinced the human race has lost all ability to love and work for peace. Greed and hatred seem to be the dominant traits these days.
وتلك الايام نداولها بین الناس ❤️♥️
The US forces are ‘friendly fire’ specialists. More British soldiers were killed in the initial stages of the Iraq war by a whooping and hollering A10 pilot. The APV had the orange flag on top.
🇺🇸 long live god be with u from nagaland
Afghan soldier:”The battle finish ages ago and the US troops are shooting now”.
This was the impact when u realize that they are wasting their lives
May Allah swt give peace for afganistan..aamiin..
his closing remarks were that has his favorite Afghan word is: “enchilada”
Exceed lmao 😂 I thought the same thing!
it is in sha ALLAH
Classic. They have a guy that’s obviously Taliban crossing in from Pakistan and they don’t have anything to detain him.
24:45
Da de ghinrr sar dai 😂✌😉
الله ينصر المجاهذين في كل مكان
امین
الله سوف يساعد المجاهدين .... يموت
Speak english! Cause if you come to America I'm not speaking your language, just like if I go there I have to speak yours.
battle end age ago, and they start shooting now. :(
Keep it walking tall not getting crushed under gear foot.
Vcs são uns guerreiros
✌
Like they couldn't identify that guy from his clothes and hair. He only owns that one outfit.
Carrying that box of brand new equipment at that, like humm where'd you get that from
I salute you AFGHAN army
Ok did they just have a casual conversation complete with laughter and goodbyes 🤔
I think you watch too many movies
That was a sign of comdat stress the same thing hapend in ww1 and Vietnam sometime the only one who knows what is going on in your head is the enemy and that talk to you and you talk to them and so it goes my uncle had that in the Angola war in the 80s and 90s
I have seen it at other places too. Probably not uncommon on frontlines and borders.
this is common.
Isi and pak army 💪💪💪
We freedom we respect very positive about the people's lives in the planet of the times thanks again dear nice video 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
thats y this war is about keeping heart and mind strong ...
Inshallah!
Aljazeera be medium
I respect that musafa dude if he’s being truthful. He’s right about what he says
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am from Britain and I PAY MY RESPECTS TO THIS FALLEN ANA SOLDIER WHO HAS DIED MAY ALLAH BE WITH HIM AND GOD ALSO.
Never Win ... when a free base across the border for R & R ... beat them down they'll leave to rest and get ready for another day ... same-same as Vietnam ...
Lar o bar u pakhtun 🇦🇫🇵🇰
I hope that the American soldiers weren't put in danger because of Al Jazeera knowing their position
Afghanistan need us army
Thats nuts how they just chat with the enemy
you might understand when/if you grow up and stop thinking movies are documentaries
I guess the Dragunov is a popular rifle there, everyone seems to be carrying one in these videos.
And I'm all for us training them but how many green-on-blue killings were there just a question
Now we have defeated Taliban ttp and fenced the whole border now it's your turn to defeat them in your country good luck ✌️🤟🇵🇰
War is big bissnes....never stop....
Is this Outpost closed 2020
They need rest
That guy sang."MY BELOVED SMOKES HASHISH AND COMES HOME AFTER MIDNIGHT"......funny stuff right there...
God bless America, greetings from Portugal.
And here we are. Back into the prophecy of the Afghan Capt.
This country has NEVER seen peace but very intresting people they R
🥰
The civilian's statements from 21:30 is all you need to know why the war is failing...
Vamavid 7 years.......long time han
Are you alive bro?
Triggerhappy Americans destroyed their efforts long time ago
Taliban defeated Invader America.
if you wanna see Satan just see America.
the propaganda machine of SATAN is America
Western media will not tell how many people killed by Americans from native Americans to , Hiroshima and Nagasaki from Vietnam to iraq and Afghanistan?
Look at these Afghan soldiers. They r full of stress and will never win this plunged war.
Its because they work for UK and USA. And Allah is not with them.
“What orders did Barack Obama give you this time round?”🤣🤣🤣
14:04
"The battle finished ages ago they (amerikans) started firing now,"
Poor boy that flipped.. Bet they pestered him plus that isolation and being the youngest and smalest. They are not that friendly with each other like western troops. They push each other to be hard when it comes down...
Is this Al Jazeera or CNN? Honestly, I can't see a difference.
I feel sad for both the dead and mehdi
🇵🇰❤🇦🇫
THE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL۔THE FREEDOM OF THE AFGHANISTAN
RAWALPINDI
Al Hatf Na, Afghanistan will never be Free, even when the coalition forces leave, the tribal feudal system will start again, leaving the population in as bad, if not worse situation than they were before the coalition entered the country. Until people stop using the kind of rhetoric you are employing and allow Afghanistan to be the nation it wants to be, then it can never be truly free. The coalition need to realise that all the people f Afghanistan want is to be left alone to live how they want, not how outside forces want, that includes those nations that are “friends of Afghanistan “. Sometimes people need to understand that every nation, and every person, wants only to be left to live in peace, to live how they want and to not interfere.
You don't need to hide Mustafa face I still can recognise him
🤣🤣🤣he is منافق
My utmost respect for the Americans but also for the AA most of them want what’s good for their country and it shows living in those precarious conditions....sure they could have prevented that soldier from doing harm should have kept him unarmed the two days he had left.
A well made documentary, gives interesting insights in the border region to Pakistan. Still a bit U.S. biased but well, it is a Saudi Arabian channel.
Qatari.
just another documentary that shows what western people shoud see. What they shoud believe. If there where real democracy in afghanistan, they would have an islamic, sharia ruled goverment - by right - but thats not what "they" want.
That feeling when an online Arabian (I don't know what language they speak, going with Arabic) media agency does better reporting than all the US agencies combined
afghans are not arabs dumbass
Pasha or something like that they speak.
the ana legit had a convo with the taliban on a radio wtf
😔😔😢😢
THE GUY BRINGING THE WOULD PROBABLY WORKS JUST AS MUCH WITH THE ENEMY TOO....................LOL
نهه کاله بعد می دا ویډیو وکته
Lots of Tajeks and Indian soldiers came into Pakistan via Waziristan route, also mention that, please mention the covert operation in Pakistan by CIA , Mossad and RAW in the name of BLACK WATER who were involved in several explosions and responsible for killing of 1000s in Pakistan. Furthermore, please mention the thorkam incident where ANA along with Indian soldiers got into Torkham border and were crushed by Pakistani Soldiers
I know You lying 😏
Naveed lal khan Where you from?
What lol ! 😂😂
Why mention Pakistani propaganda? It's not like Pakistani extremists got a lot of time to spend on youtube. LOL.
i think you lost your brain that is why you are making stories
All round a crappy deal, did understand that the ANA that was killed by his fellow ANA was the guy was about to have his R&R???
They don't have firewood,& they don't cellphones, but they have doughnuts, hahaha!!
America may have underestimated the Taliban, but it is not like any of your local forces and ANA did any sort of better job or job at all pushing the Taliban into Pakistan
They're just here for.💸💸💸💸
Gas and oil and I’m not even Afghanistanie
@@somalian9844 there is no gas and oil in afghanistan. Idiot.
And now in 2019 😁
They're your brothers now. When you leave they won't fight.
To maintain peace first' you have to change policy for Pakistan
Its funny how every squad out on patrol thinks of themselves as elite whether they are or not. Most are not.
Well. They should. Cant spread fear ya know
Every military unit declares itself to be an elite. How else does one persuade them to kill and be killed?
That's one of most important attributes a leader can instill in his men
We proud support islami emarat
Protect me...Not their own country men...
Dangerous outpost probably the most dangerous especially with the lads all coming across the Pakistan border..I wonder if the outpost is still there
Doubt it. What a waste of time and life this war is and was. Acheived nothing.
Patriot extraordinaire
Unbelievable and they really think that gullible comes to mind.
Serious guy's
There are a lot of upset American soldiers and their allies at what our President has done to the people of Afghanistan by pulling out.
It is not the way. My heart is with you all who yearn for a time when you and your families can live free without fear.
Thank you for that more Americans need to recognize who the real heros are
Air support.
what a lost cause....
I dont know when was this video made but now,i understand the Taliban is still ruling on most of Afghan area...will US follow the step tha t was taken by USSR back in 80's...which is withdraw from Afghan for good....time will tell...:)
Cute dog sniffing at 6.26
It's like the US never learned from Vietnam.
