We The Dutch have never mobilised in modern war the way others have. When visiting NZ and Australia I was humbled that every single little town has a memorial, often with casualties listing back to the Boer War, The Great War ,WW2 etc. Also visiting places like Omaha beach, Verdun and numerous war cemeteries has risen my feeling of brotherhood with The West. Your boys were sent into the meatgrinder for my freedom. Too all veterans or relatives , thank you.
Ross you're amazing. As an American veteran I appreciate you going out and embedding with not only British military but also with The American military. Veterans from the US and GB hold a special place in my heart and so do you.
That scene from 23:40 is probably one of the best journalistic moments captured from this war. It really gives perspective of what these brave lads go/went through.
something amazing about this piece and his reporting: i had a very clear basic idea of the order of events and what was going on on the battlefield. There was no dramatic corny 3d maps or anything, he got all the footage and commentary to provide that information. He did it consciously, asking for run downs, etc. Even in combat he is making sure we know whats going on so we get a whole picture. Amazing journalism.
My only disappointment is that the camera was lying in a ditch, behind walls or in a corn field the whole time. How about making a proper nature documentary and getting a drone up into the air, a periscope over the compound wall, action cameras on the end of broomsticks. I want close-ups of roaring Taliban fighters launching RPGs, fearsome Mujahideen laying down suppressive fire, etc..
@@teaCupkk that's real easy for you to say. Why don't you go and do it then. All you need is a plane ticket and a drone. This man is incredibly brave for doing what he did for the purpose of journalism. He is literally 20 or 30 yards away from enemies trying to kill him and yet he's still reporting and telling us what's going on. I bet you would shit your pants if you go anywhere close.
@@G-24x Oh, I never claimed I'm brave or anything. But if I were to be in the nature documentary business like Ross Kemp here, I'd definitely be doing a better job at it. Cracking and whizzing bullets are great, but not a single pixel of an Afghan fighter firing his AK in anger. Not even a photo of a dead Taliban next to a bomb crater. To me that makes this documentary a little bit dry..
@@teaCupkk You are such an idiot. First of all you have to be brave to do something like this so you can't even say IF you were there you'd do better because your too much of a pussy to even go there as you admitted. Second, he can't get a picture of a soldier firing his weapon because Ross is not allowed near the frontline because he's not allowed to carry a gun. Third, he is under command of whatever Commander he is traveling with and I'm sure they would not allow him to film or get close to any mutilated blown up bodies for a documentary much less I doubt Ross would even want to. Ross went has went to the furthest extreme possible and compiled some of the most exciting journalism I've seen. You are a disrespectful idiot who sits on your computer making claims that your too big of a pussy to back up. Shut up and appreciate how willing this man was to put his self in dangerous situations just to entertain and educate you or do it yourself. Oh yeah I forgot, you won't because your a pussy.
@@thesorrow96 Wtf would you know about anything? You've probably never served anything but yourself. Why don't you go to Afghanistan and do something peaceful if you can't make war? See how long you think about them as killers as they protect your sorry butt from those that would BEHEAD you for not being one of them...
Everyone is commenting how brave Kemp is..... Someone should do a doc on the camera man which often go un-noticed. Who goes where Kemp goes and carries more gear. I think these shows forget all the people behind the scenes who make this ONE guy look like a one man show.
Then we will also have to do a doc on the camera man filming the camera man and the camera man filming the camera man filming the camera man. It would be a long documentary eh?
When he walked up to the memorial I lost it I started to cry it's hard knowing that these men are out fighting why we are here at home sleeping and knowing that every flight could be their last and unfortunately not every Soldier makes it home rest in peace to the ones that have lost their life your honor and sacrifice is appreciated into the soldiers that are still fighting come home safe prayers and condolences go out to you guys as well to the rest of the platoon
Yeah, a later episode has a lot of references to the Afghan army needing to stand on its own two feet and whether all the work of pushing back the Taliban will have been for nothing, it hits hard watching that now
I think this was filmed in 2008 or so. Not sure if we really have many forces at all in Afghanistan now, but I'm not the brightest guy in the world lol.
We are trying to train the Afghan army to the point where they can fend off the Taliban on their own. It takes what it takes. If we leave now those crazy bitches will take over the whole country again and allow ISIS or Al Qaeda to plan attacks again and then we will have to go back after we are attacked again... So just stay and get the job done come hell or high water.
hahahahahaa idiot. "proudly"? "your country"? how stupid to serve A COUNTRY you call "yours" while back at home they treat your people worse than dogs and kick your people back to Mexico telling them this isn't their country! hahahahahaha
I’m from Afghanistan and I thanks those all countries who sacrificed their beloved to bring peace in Afghanistan. This video was quite difficult to watch but this is the reality which is going on in Afghanistan until today
I can’t believe we’re still fighting this war... I’m 23 and it’s been going on my whole life. Just a completely different enemy. Thank you for everything troops.
The International Trucks that this video. I was the first person who started the build for those trucks! Was on the build to the end! Total of around 6000 of them! It was cool seeing something I was apart of helping the troops! Be safe guys!
I watch many videos of Ross Kemp. He and his crew are fearless.. especially when they meet with the enemies or gangs . Hat off guy keep doing what you do...
I’m an American and I was in the Army I actually teared up when I heard about the kid who died in war and his mom just wanted him to come home and raid the kitchen... that’s something my own mother would say and it just hit me for a minute huge respect for our mother country and their men and women fighting as well I pray god may get both of our countries out of there so that no more mothers will have to cry about losing another child in Afghanistan ❤️
6:46 i was in Robert fosters section in basic training. I remember the first day when getting our uniforms that he was always the first guy trying to crack a joke during the awkward silence of not knowing anyone in the platoon. I remember that had this thing about sleeping on his back face up and his knees bent with his feet on the mattress and thinking, what a bizarre way to sleep. remember seeing how proud he was when he stood with his family after the passing out parade. I remember being told that foster had been killed in action... RIP mate, i'll always remember you.
Watching these war pieces gives me a bit of morbid curiosity to know what being in warzone is like. If I hadn't a particularly intense case of self preservation and paranoia, I'd say I'd like to see one for myself.
Play a mil sim. It isnt 100% accurate but what you usually do in the mil sim is what you do in war. Wait, communicate, rarely see the enemy, get ambushed and if shit happens - die.
have i heard that right? 11:00 "outnumbered british troops were escorted out of Musikahla by the Taliban without o shot being fired".... so... did the taliban granded "free passage" to the enemy?
Yeh if the Taliban wiped out an entire platoon. There would be hellfire. Casualty is unavoidable in war but if they were to slaughter troops. We'd bomb them and everything within 5 miles to fucking hell.
It isn't explained in the video but those British soldiers held out for around 50 days before being escorted out. At the start they had support from 120 Danish soldiers who were equipped with armoured vehicles and heavy weaponry. The Danes had to withdraw taking their equipment with them and they were replaced with a lightly armed group of British soldiers which left the British heavily outnumbered. There was quite intense fighting for fifty days with the Taliban coming right up to the compound the soldiers were in with the British soldiers losing 2 men. Eventually the village elders made a deal with the Taliban and the soldiers to try and stop the fighting where the British soldiers would be escorted out and the Taliban wouldn't take the village (they eventually did).
From the USA, thank you UK! My family’s bloodlines are from the UK, and I am forever grateful that the USA and UK are allies. I am so sorry about the friendly lives lost. It’s a horrible way to go and it’s impact affects many, including the pilots of the aircraft who made the horrific mistake. Sorry.
For a documentary with those guys you really need two interpreters. One for English to Afghan and one for their jibberish to regular, understandable english :D
@Tormageddon no i probably cant do that because i really dont care about what you care about. Lol stop making yourself look stupid and find something better to do than argue with people in youtube comments.
Can't believe that after 3 wars in the exact same region, Britain still never got it through their heads that Afghanistan can never be taken. Also, Americans didn't learn from the Soviet experience that it couldn't be done. Britain should've warned Bush that wars in Afghanistan are always lost causes...
I don't know how Ross stays so calm through situations like this. Just calm as can be covering his head and then after a shot wizzes by he turns to the camera and giggles and keeps talking. lol. Balls of steel.
14:05 i gotta say i love how much these guys respect the enemy in a sense that will have them making smarter decisions. Despite being better equipped for a fight, arrogance is a handicap.
Well done Ross; I know this is much belated but as a former soldier in the Australian Infantry and not a photographer studying journalism you portray the story the way it should be told. Whilst I hope the contemporary world has less conflict, I hope if there is one to document, you do it :)
Gotta say... I`m enjoying Ross more and more. I can never get 'Super Army Soldier" out of my head. But I do like his reporting. Seems to become more genuine with time.
I serviced in Musa Qalah at 2009 front line DC White House . Thank you for your service guys I don’t know where the freakin all these solders now might be there at home enjoying life with their wife and kids This is Afghanistan the grave of Emperors. This is one way not possible getting a live from here. Thanks God that’s I am a live and home .
i have more respect for a real man that works like a slave his whole life, takes care of his woman and supports his family back at home. not for these brainwashed young gullible idiots manipulated to believe they are fighting for peace in the middle east hahahahaa what a joke. they are just doing the dirty work for the people in highest of power and deep pockets who never lose a minute of sleep back at home over thousands of dimwitted jackass being shipped over seas to their deaths. oil is going to run out soon. this is just a big move by imperialist countries fighting for their piece of the pie.
Gotta respect the Cameraman with Ross during the engagement at around 24 minutes into the video even whilst under fire he's trying to get the camera over Ross's arse to get some good footage. Infinite respect to the lads who serve and rest in peace to the lads who never came home.
Oh how I wish, I wish, I were back on the front-lines again. The sheer excitement and trill you get is unparalleled to anything else you'll ever do. And for me, the rest of the world is so damn bland now.
30:47 - that moment when the soldier is trying to unsuccessfully light a cigarette in the middle of a fire fight is so relatable. Those damn lighters NEVER WORK WHEN NEEDED
The camera crews are the unsung heroes, not only did they have to get into the combat with the soldiers, they also have to carry a camera and constantly thinking about getting a good shot at the situation while been shot at
While they where focused in geting a good camera shot, the Tallies where focused in getting a goot shot at ther heads
Leandro Ribeiro yep. A journalist is probably better than a soldier to them
agree, the camera men that go into these situations have bigger balls than any one there
Gareth weare Not to mention they are a huge target with the cameras
for sure

Hatsoff to the camera man too for travelling there with ross kemp basically to feed his stomach😂
Glad someone else noticed the people that make Kemp look good.
He's earned that belly!
There's a reason why he's got a bit of a belly, go watch Vickers Tacticals video on why old soldiers and cops etc. tend to be a bit on the heavy side.

14:05 i gotta say i love how much these guys respect the enemy in a sense that will have them making smarter decisions. Despite being better equipped for a fight, arrogance is a handicap.
God bless robi the solder ,british soldiers they did loads for kosovo during the war . Long live uk
Well done Ross; I know this is much belated but as a former soldier in the Australian Infantry and not a photographer studying journalism you portray the story the way it should be told. Whilst I hope the contemporary world has less conflict, I hope if there is one to document, you do it :)
Sergeant: jwmwkvisiciw
Me: yes.
Gotta say... I`m enjoying Ross more and more. I can never get 'Super Army Soldier" out of my head. But I do like his reporting. Seems to become more genuine with time.
said about a nearly decade old documentary.
Thanks Captain Obvious!
31:00 ce mec qui crame une clope au calme en plein combat !!!
Ross Kemp & his camera man are more than just press men.
These guys are heroes
“Fierce men of the national afghan army”
I serviced in Musa Qalah at 2009 front line DC White House . Thank you for your service guys I don’t know where the freakin all these solders now might be there at home enjoying life with their wife and kids
This is Afghanistan the grave of Emperors. This is one way not possible getting a live from here. Thanks God that’s I am a live and home .
"fix bayonets" probably dropped morale
This is as real as it gets, mad respect for those soldiers leaving their families to fight for their country.
i have more respect for a real man that works like a slave his whole life, takes care of his woman and supports his family back at home. not for these brainwashed young gullible idiots manipulated to believe they are fighting for peace in the middle east hahahahaa what a joke. they are just doing the dirty work for the people in highest of power and deep pockets who never lose a minute of sleep back at home over thousands of dimwitted jackass being shipped over seas to their deaths.
oil is going to run out soon. this is just a big move by imperialist countries fighting for their piece of the pie.
part 2 please
that look when he said they are fixing bayonets was priceless. never so much said without words lol. FML
Britain was also responsible for millions of deaths and hardships in their colonies. I hope people will remember that.
They also lost to Afghanistan three times before. Now they lost a fourth time.
'Our War: Ambushed" the story about Chris Gray always fucks me up.. man, I can't get through that episode without feeling like complete shit.
Never seen a journalist with bigger balls...
well than you haven't seen many, go look up a few guys in Vietnam..
Look up Ben Anderson docos on Vice 👍🏼 he needs a wheel barrow for his balls
And the cameracrew too
Rough love, tough hearted.. love you @Ross Kemp.. jazak allahu khayran 💋🌸
The soldier at 30:45 trying to light up the cigarette with that cheap lighter made me go into LMAO mode!
Gotta respect the Cameraman with Ross during the engagement at around 24 minutes into the video even whilst under fire he's trying to get the camera over Ross's arse to get some good footage. Infinite respect to the lads who serve and rest in peace to the lads who never came home.
Oh how I wish, I wish, I were back on the front-lines again. The sheer excitement and trill you get is unparalleled to anything else you'll ever do. And for me, the rest of the world is so damn bland now.
Smoke some weed
Go sky diving.
30:47 - that moment when the soldier is trying to unsuccessfully light a cigarette in the middle of a fire fight is so relatable. Those damn lighters NEVER WORK WHEN NEEDED
