a lose of life is sad but do you guys dont question your government for putting so many untrained youngsters in the front line agianst a people that have been living for war for the last 30 years, it makes me sick when i hear of the ages of these soldiers, waste of life all for the governments interest, please question the government and your local MP to pull our troops out if have real sympathy

[RICKSPUR1]

BRAVE YOUNG MEN, SO SO BRAVE, YOU ALL SHOW UNBELIEVABLE COURAGE IN THE FACE OF A VERY REAL AND FRIGHTENING THREAT, MY SON SERVED WITH THE VIKINGS IST BAT A CMPNY ALONG SIDE THESE MEN IN 2007. HE ALSO SERVED IN IRAQ AS A 17/18 YEAR OLD. I DONT MIND ADMITTING THAT I GET CHOKED AND HAVE A TEAR IN MY EYE SEEING AND HEARING WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN.

YOU CAN ALL STAND TALL WITH PRIDE AND WITH YOUR HEADS HELD HIGH. I/WE SALUTE YOU, AND SALUTE THE FALLEN TOO.

[joepeacock1991]

all soldiers r hero's in my eyes unless there the taliban paki bastards n all da uva reble forces

[dbaikidoboi]

your being a bit narrow minded about the whole situation really.

[joepeacock1991]

nah not reali m8. fuck the taliban hope thy kill the lot of the arseholes. ive got a m8 in royal anglians on 24/7 standby to get called out to do his 9 month tour n also im in selection for it so tbh m8 i dnt care if ppl think im bein narrow minded. ive got it ryten infrunt of me why the british forces r in iraq n afganistan so m8 tbh with ya if u think the talibad r doin good then u can fuck off over there n join um

[gazzthompson]

the taliban need respect, there are the enemy but they are fighting for what they believe in, just like what our troops are ... they are fighting a vastly superior in ,every sense, force. i know the impacts on war, i have multiple friends in service, one of which was killed on Christmas eve, but you have to respect your enemy. they are humans as well. good luck with your service .

[joepeacock1991]

out troops are fightin to help the country out n yeah i can understand about thy fightin 4 what thy believe in but the things thy do how can any1 who behead people n all that shit n do what thy did in america n london if i remember rightly, how is that human? im sorry to hear about ya m8 that was killed on xmas eve. if ya need 2 talk 2 sum1 i no ya gt uva ppl aswell but i here 4 ya same as evry1 else if thy want sum1 ta talk 2. n thanks for wishin me luck :)

[smigbabb]

[incasilver]

Weary we are of blood and noise and pain;

This was a week we shall not soon forget;

And if, indeed, we have to fight again,

We little wish to think about it yet.

We have done well; we like to hear it said.

Say it, and then, for God's sake, say no more.

Fight, if you must, fresh battles far ahead,

But keep them dark behind your chateau door!

[tom7678]

touching video, rip lads ull never be forgotten...

[mullers88]

powerful video, iv just turned 20 yrs old and it gets to me that people younger than me have died in iraq and afghanistan, when i was 16 i used to think that they were way older than me and it didnt really shock me as much as now, but when you pass out the age that some of these boys have died at you realise how short their lives were and how much they had left to do, now i realise that if circumstances had been different it could have easily been me, i cant use age as a reason anymore, rip lads

[CassioUK]

What a brilliantly produced tribute. I dont know if i was meant to cry,but I did.

I suppose its no shame to feel loss for people you've never met and never will meet.

[mikeoneuk]

RIP to all fallen heroes, some countries in europe are hiding from this war!!!! stand up and be counted, you know who you are!!!

[barclay1801]

Im so proud of our boys/girls.
