afghanistan vid

[System]

hey all just watchin this vid right now thought i'd share it with ya:

YouTube - British Marines Ambushed in Afghanistan

all i gotta say is that they r some brave men to do that- including the camera crew with nothing but a camera and boom mike!

THAT is where we should be- afghanistan where the fight was started, but has yet to be won. I support the men and women there now, wether they be aussie, british, or american, THAT is what we should be doing- NOT in iraq.

*salute*

I took 2 weeks ROP's for threatening to shoot a media crew allowed to follow us on a recc. What ****ing soldier wants to do a recc ina live area with a ****ing media crew lol? Was well worth sweeping 3's Parade ground and the drill that went with it(god i miss those bunks in the guard room)

Recc? Is that reconnaissance?

Even though its not something I have experienced, I can see how annoying it would be having to some journos tag along.
