In his words, you cannot employ soldiers and expect them to act like policemen. Something we should have taken on board with recent cases against Soldiers who served in Northern Ireland. A true soldier in every way, steadfast in his duty, thoughful of his men and no messing about. R.I.P 'Mad Mitch'
For all the naysayers, Mitchell rejected the managed decline of Britain. The problem with the naysayers they don’t realise they live in a totally declined Britain, morally, institutionally, intellectually, militarily, financially, politically. Welcome to 1984.
I certainly did not delete my response. As is the way of your kind of argument, ‘mask slip’ insinuates that my argument hides some sort of evil or ill will to my fellow man rather than a difference of opinion. Next you will be marching me into the Gulag😂. We are not at war buddy, we just see things differently. We obviously have different life experiences. I have worked all over the world and seen some terrible things.
Ah! The mask slips. You are superior to someone who works at McDonalds. Oh to be so superhuman. Are you part of the the reformed Master Race Party? Tosser!
A true soldier, and this is coming from an Army veteran myself. We are in dire need of men like 'Mad Mitch' , especially within our Armed Forces with this ongrowing 'woke/PC/marxist mullshit.
Colonel Mitchell had just had THREE of his men murdered and their bodies mutilated publicly. These men were under his command. That is why he was angry. I wish my old Commanding Officers would have done the same. In one instance I know that would not have occured. He was a proper Officer of his men.
@@baborali2276 ; well you have a point. However, you have moved into the political sphere. You can't blame soldiers, for what politicians got/get up to. 'Mad Mitch' was a real soldier, and a real soldiers Officer.
@peteb8556 Mad Mitch was a upper class Toff lording over working class men, parachuted into the top Job because of his privileged background. The Sutherland and Argylls were fighting lower ranked opposition who were poorly equipped, just a rag tag army. This British unit mentioned above were going round bullying unarmed civilians, what's brave about that ?
The funny thing is that a lot of you guys praise him for fighting terrorism and criminality but he later ended up being a supporter and advise her to the mujahedin in Afghanistan
Written by a berk who never served in the British Army. Those that did serve like me, respect him intensely. I wish they had allowed 'Mitch' to serve in Northern Ireland. That would have lasted 3 days.
Yes but he was saying what people THOUGHT about what they were doing....ie tarring them with the old imperialist bigots who used those words...there is a big difference.

R.I.P 'Mad Mitch'
sadly we have this strange process of electing politicians and then giving them power they should NEVER have
We need Mitchell today to sort out the streets of London
The English always had misplaced superiority and false bravado about them.
proud to have both meet and worked for him in the early 90s.
A very great British soldier and gentleman. It is a national scandal that he was not awarded a DSO.
I thought that the British have a different understanding of a s.c. _"Gentleman"._
‘Third rate, fly blown chaps’ love it!

We need the Fighting Scots back in action retired too many too soon🏴
This fella would have sorted the IRA out in 5 minutes if he'd been sent into Ulster in 1969.
he is a legend wish the army was like that now

Makes me so proud to be British.
Seriously? Your country is a bit of a joke at this stage.
@@norwegianzound You sound like another American 😂 trump and now biden..
You get your proud of your Britishness from Colin Mitchell's comments of his command of the British Troops at Adan?
Just the calibre of leader we so desperately need right now, 2024.
We all need to emulate Mad Mitch if we want to survive.
i love this guy. reminds me of a time of great britain when our countrymen were truly great. the nation would disgust them today
The English always has a misplaced superiority and false bravado.
Mad Mitch, my favourite Scot (Having Been a Soldier)
Bloody brilliant stuff, absolutely fine chap was Mitch
If only we’d more men like him
if only. our lads are now asking for sex changes and to address them with pronouns
FROM: The Royal Marines. ADEN.........Lt Col MITCHELL.......OUTSTANDING SOLDIER...He led from the FRONT>
HERO
Amazing guy met him Colchester 1987
Please describe.
Take a drink every time he says: “you know”.
"stiff upper lip" officer..
This is what 'spine' looks like.
A great man very straight
I met him in London many years ago, A very impressive chap.
The type of force required in France and this precise time.
Hero.✊✊✊

Mon the Argyll’s, the thin red line.
served eith him in aden 67
The funny thing is that a lot of you guys praise him for fighting terrorism and criminality but he later ended up being a supporter and advise her to the mujahedin in Afghanistan
Don't confuse the Mujahedeen with Al-Qaeda or the Taliban. They were fighting the criminals who invaded their country - the Soviet Union.
