Tribute to the Troops

[316bluethunder]

Good Grief killing and murdering more dead piles of bodies will solve our problems or make them go away.Maybe vapourise evryone like a thought that goes away ...make a better weapon

[mrpid132]

Thank you for posting!...please check out my video 'Soldier Boy' (search Stu Aspinall). I wrote the song after being inspired by the story of a young soldier who came back home from Afghanistan and Bosnia suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He eventually lost his battle to PTSD. Proceeds from every download will be donated to support programs that help soldiers and their families try and deal with PTSD. Thanks for your support, and thank you to soldiers everywhere for what you do.

Day*

[iceman420420]

Thank you to my brother and his keepers over seas, were so proud. To the people who don't support our troops there will be a say where you need a soldier and they will be there for you just try not to put your foot too far into your mouth. Thanks for this video purfect song come home safe soldiers!

[Sudbury67]

Today marking Rememberance Day! May we all pause to remember all of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives so that we can live in freedom. As well our thoughts and prayers go out to all those troops who are currently deployed overseas.. May God protect them and have them home soon.

[TheSandsie13]

our troops are heros. been to kanahar to see the memorial (it was smaller then). this is the perfect song for this video. come home soon guys and girls.

[artiestgesk]

i m a soldier and next year i will go in afganistan to fight 4 freedom. God Bless all peacefull soldier's !!!

[LLPOVAR]

I would hope that some of the troops continue to watch this video. If so, the best to you all and Merry Christmas.

[Sudbury67]

Our troops are the real heros. You may not agree with our government sending them abroad but you need to support and pray for them and their families. God Bless them all!!

[OleTrout]

@Sudbury67 HERE HEAR

[diman75]

Support our troops in what? In the war that was never declared. Yes i don't support our troops, can you live with this? Does it make me a bad Canadian, that I don't feel about this war we were instructed to feel by the American and Canadian governments?

[Fichengafter]

Your Government is your country, you better be goddamned happy with what your given. If you dont like what our Government does, get the hell out.

[abbottboi]

@diman75

You don't need to support the war..

BUT you must support the troops.

There's a huge difference there.. i hope you get it.

[Capella64]

u are so right they risk everything for us and just because we dont agree with the government doesnt mean we shouldnt give the soldiers our full thanks

[abbottboi]

@diman75

those brave men and woman who serve have no say in what they are fighting for.. why would you be so ignorant?

[TheLastCanadian]

@diman75 If you don't stand behind the troops, I would invite you to stand in front of them.

[coolcracer]

FUCK YOU, YOU MOTHER FUCKING ASS HOLE

[evanprairies]

It does show that you are a bad Canadian, You aren't proud that our soldiers are going to go fight against people that hurt our friends the americans in 9/11. when they could have easily said "no, they didn't attack us" and leave it. But they had the hearts to go over and bring justice to those murderers, the taliban.

[JesseFC101]

there has never been nor will ever be a bad peace, or a good war.

[sucka23454321]

no, but sometimes there are neccessary wars, it is the sad truth.

[JesseFC101]

For all I'd love to say your wrong, and that there's always a better way, I don't know what the way would be. But what I wil say, is both side in any war think that they are right, and the enemy is wrong

[sucka23454321]

That may be true, but in certain wars there are good and bad sides. Moral issues, and issues of freedom, such as World War 2 and Afghanistan, it is sad, but true.

[JesseFC101]

But if the 'enemy' didn't believe what they were do was right than why fight for it? Too the Nazi's the jews were the reason they had lost WWI and gone into a rescession. War is greedy game of ass-covering and ideals.

[sucka23454321]

Regrdless, war is sometimes neccessary, there is sometimes good and evil. The Nazis had to be brought because of their brutal ways and so WW2 was fought. The Taliban was evil and needed to be brought down as well. War is not a good thing but it can be a neccessary thing. As for believing something is right, it does not neccessarily mean it is right. People are sometimes wrong. The Nazis and Taliban are wrong and in those cases anyway, the Allies and the ISAF were and are right.

[JesseFC101]

I agree, but I would like to add that the Nazi and the Taliban both believe that they are fighting for the right ideals.

[sucka23454321]

Simply Beautiful! Let them all come home safe and sound! God help them succeed!

[bubbaboy222]

GOD BLESS THE TROOPS OF ALL THE WORLD!!

[JesseFC101]

but if there we no troop, there would be no war. I'm not saying that there is not pride and honour in serving, but that there is nothing to be gained by war.

[sucka23454321]

nno, but if it weren't for our troops all of those women would still be treated as animals, there is still work to do but we are making a difference.

[Ricadani]

Thanks from Australia for all ya help, we are proud to be fighting alongside your brave nation.

[Rockcorner9]

Canada shouldnt be part of war

[sucka23454321]

I used to think that about Afghanistan, but I read a book called Fifteen Days, it really opened my eyes to what is going on and I think if we left now, the 124 Canadians who died there would be in vain, we need to finish our job there, to honour our fallen Canadian comrades! God Bless Our Troops!

[stefansmom]

i agree whole heartedly with you on this.. if we pull out now our troops would have died for nothing. and i think our relatives that have fought and ied in previous wars and conflicts would turn over in their graves from shame.

[sucka23454321]

Thank you! I am so glad to see that other Canadians feel the same way!

[stefansmom]

well thanks for sharing the same thoughts for sure on this.. i live in halifax and being a person who has family members past and present in the forces and friends over there well the twits saying we shouldn't be there can either support our troops or stand in front of them

[sucka23454321]

Exactly! You don't have to support the war but I think you must always support the troops. It's easy to say we should pull out immediately when the reprecussions don't directly affect you. I have friends in the forces as well and they really appreciate it when people who think like me and you put our support out for them. Thanks again! (And Halifax is AMAZING!)

[LLPOVAR]

Clip at 1:48 exemplifies what we are there for

[highwind8124]

Keep that natural gas pipeline safe, guys. Best of look forcing democracy on a Muslim country which violates their religion since the Quran calls more for a theocracy.

But hey, what do they know. You guys know what's best for them. Keep up the good work of not finding Bin Laden and the unquestioning support of the U.S. government. Because Building 7 was totally brought down by Muslim terrorists.

[impala07ss]

hey canadian faggot want me to fuck ur mom and rape u and make u scream like a bitch fuck u white guy ill pass over tonight to kill your mother and chop ur penis to pieces after sticking my fat dick in your ass .. after that ill transfer you to a lady and hopefully a protistute!

[72Canadian72]

Lmao you copy and paste your own comments??? Get a life loser. Stop dreaming of getting laid for it will never happen

[Sukit420]

God bless canada and all the allies of the United States for helping us. I am to be deployed soon. Come home safe comrades.

[Wanda4DecentValues]

After Iraq attacked us on 911, it was the godless scum liberals who refused to support Bush in his removal of Sadam Hussain, the mastermind of the 911 attacks. It was liberals who refused to suport their Commander-of-Chief in time of war, and it was libs who refused to support our troops! Forever fuck the peaces of shit liberals and their refusal to bow down to Bush!!

[hougSTAR]

Wanda,

First of all, you are an idiot and are an embarrassment to the USA.

Secondly, Palin will never be president. Obama will end the silly war in the middle east.

Third, your profile just screams hypocritical.

Fourth, you are 50 and you can't spell worth a damn.

[Hellfire151617]

dude im a conservative but you need to get some facts straight on what happened.

[lightwaker999]

Thank you, from a Mum waiting and praying all the troops come home safe. We love and support you in all that you do.

Great song and video, there should be a lot more like it.

[mattfactsof911]

may god bless all you who serve, godspeed, and you make us all proud, long live NATO

[RespectMyCountry]

As my mate, I recommend you watch CanadaForce's videos. He's got some good stuff on there. He is a true Canadian.

*salute*

[soldierboy151]

hello im cpl. Kelly a united states marine, i am currently in iraq and i want to say i love you to my family and i will be home soon,

god bless you america

[pashektu]

What a wonderful tribute to not only Cdn troops but all troops everywhere. Thank you for something very special that can only touch everyone's heart that has the privilege to view your work.

pashektu

[deegirlshopping]

FUCK YOU Sethern53 YOU UN EDUCATED PRICK CANADA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD DONT GO THERE WITH USA PATROITED BULL SHIT

[sweetbabylost]

ugh, u know what i meant

[sweetbabylost]

i think this song is perfect for the content of this video...great job!

[sweetbabylost]

beautiful job!

[redlollipops]

I feel like there is something off, or ironic, about the combination of this video with this song. Nontheless, the song is beautiful.

[Sethern53]

im from America and while Canada may not be my favorite country anyone willing to die for their beleifs is alright with me|±R.I.P.± those lost in war... but at least they know where their going (im not tryin to make light of the fact that their dead just tryin to bring a little comfort to the families so if your going to say something stupid waste your time on something else)

[sharksfan295]

Well I have to agree with you. I think that the family's that have troops over seas need more support then their country is giving them. I also think the tours need to me shortened and leave's made longer. To some this might sound anti war but I am pro war.

[MikeM27BC]

Much Respect To All Our Troops And Allies!Keep Up The Good Work All!

[7igoprince]

GOD SAVE U GUYS AND PORTUGAL

[klawchi1]

You're Troops are bunch of fucking rapers stupid morons, i wish 1 day a powerfull country attacks usa or uk and then rape ur kids bastards.

[canadiangirl1041]

Sorry but where are you from? The troops in this video are Canadians, not Americans, yes they do stuff like that but we don't.

[canadiangirl1041]

they've even shot at us on a couple occasions. I have friends and relatives in the military, and when I hear about times when there's heavy fighting going on all I can think about is whether they're alright or if something bad's happened to them over there. Point is not all soldiers are alike and same goes for the countries they are from.

[Sethern53]

im sorry if i contradict myself on this one but most of u ppl are fucking retards you judge the one then damn the many its just pointless and stupid

[mrlambo09]

shut your mouth you commie bastard. They protect our fucking country. My fucking uncle died in afghanistan. FUCK YOU.

[klawchi1]

You watch CNN and BBC alot dont ya?

[sharksfan295]

Yea I think he does....

[pspboy7]

I like this song very much, I have this CD.

[72Canadian72]

May all our troops return home safely

[Alexmcgruer3]

Perhaps I am wrong:

This is a trubute to people WE have sent to do a job.

We came to the aid of an allie that was attacked by people based out of Afghanistan. The Afghan goverment of the day would not pass over the culprit, indeed protected him.

Agree or not with the cause, that's our people. This is a tribute to them.

Oh: Had russia been attacked as NY: Do you think the response would have been different?

It would have been faster and much more brutal. IMO

[Alexmcgruer3]

With some luck Canada will be able to help Afghanistan: But if not it will likely be under the thumb of Nato for a while. We may have become their new Russia.

Our Government just committed out troops to two more years in Afghanistan.

I am of the opinion that we should be out of there ASAP and let Afghanistan fix itself, or not.

Osama Bin Laden is likely not there any more so why bother?

[155RRR]

That would just cost lives and money Later. Why not fix it now? We can't leave, you don't just leave in the middle of something.

[Alexmcgruer3]

At what cost? We have 84 dead there now and a substantial cash investment.

The USA (The country attacked) has (when compared to Iraq) a smaller investment of their resources. Osama Bin Laden was allowed to escape.

It will cost lives regardless of which way you turn but the problem runs through Packistan and if we do something about that Iran, then perhaps parts of India.

Vietnam is not that long ago.

Afghanistan may be another pit eating out resources and lives.... Endlessly.

[InternOrthoxArmy]

Soory but its totaly clearly propaganda. At this war there was NO TERRORIST NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS NO CHEMICAL WEAPONS. But you went at this country and totaly destroyed it because you wanted the black gold as the world says. You went for the oil, we all know that and you cant prove anything else

[capergreg123]

its afgan you idiot, not iraq,there is nothing for canada to gain there. we are peace keepers there. maybe you are american

[Alexmcgruer3]

We are not really peace keepers. An Ally was attacked. J. Creatien kept us clear of Iraq (a criminal action). Our purpose (as I understand it) is to stop the people that initiated that attack and render that group incapable of a repeat performance.

We are not in blue hats this time; no magazine with 5 rounds for self defense: The UN is not paying the bills. We will be paying for this for a long long time and that's how it has to be!

[Lukicch]

It was the proof about the NUKE TERROR in Iraq. Over 1.000.000 dead, before war no casulties. how many in afghanistan? Is Saudi Arabia democratic state? What about North Korea? Iran have the second biggest suplies of oil in the world, i bet my ass the democratic label can be, will be pulled of some day :) Just wait for the right moment. And more of your men will die half the globe away from your country fighting against people who never had anything against you, fighting for the freedom.

[nikola1O1O]

You Canadians should better get out of Afghanistan and Iraq,coz no terrorist wants you dead,unlike Americans.

[DrDeath1020]

We're not in Iraq. :]

[RussianRuffRyder84]

thats very good! don't follow the USA into every shit hole.

greets to Canada and its People.

[TheMatthew0123]

@nikola1O1O WE

we're in Afghanistan and yes some terrorist groups want to kill us just because we are helping the US in this war. And Canada had never fought in Iraq.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

@nikola1O1O while its good to hear your respect for our nation, we stand by our brothers and allies in the United States of America. They were attacked in New York; on 9/11/2001 the terrorists attacked Canada as well. We stand by our brothers in the United States.

[onething1471]

@nikola1O1O No offense pal, but over half of the countries on this planet want the Americans dead.

[pascualfootage]

@nikola1O1O we aitn in iraq and terrorists do want to kill us since we've captured a few trying to blow shit up here...so we gonna go blow shit up there so they cant come here and kill us...coz they r dead!!! fuck em all

[TanyaYetman]

I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! I'm a proud military wife!

[mountainape14]

You sir...put the capital 'I' in idiot...I didn't kill nobody you simpleton...as far as the oil...maybe you can lip off once you start WALKING everywhere you go...now go do something productive...like hmmm...maybe GO TO SCHOOL!!...give your mama a kiss for me too ....later moron

[mountainape14]

Even more reasons to be proud of our country and its people! We should count our blessings every morning we open our eyes that we live where we do :) ...the Rankins came from near my home town in Cape Breton...Mabou... God bless our country and our soldiers...

[7igoprince]

no offence dude but a real american is the indian yo guys stoll that country so you cant say its your country because it aint you guys killed the indians you are all murdersand you are still proud about that that is so sick america belongs too the indians and that is the only truth sry about that i dint want too attack you but its just the truth

[mountainape14]

Everybody's from somewhere aren't they little man?....what are you a piece of shit American I suppose...a country built on slavery and murder...the world's biggest bullies....Go hate someone else asshole...hey, maybe you could do your third grade book report on it...to put it simple terms that a simpleton like you woul;d understand..FUCK OFF

[7igoprince]

they sold the country because they had no choice and you killed the most of them so dont say all we did was chare it bitch and most of you murders are slaves or prisoners frim england or africa thats why you bitches have so much black dudes and thats why you bitches talk english and want too now why canada talks french because it was a country from the indians and the french soll it from them so fuck off man i now mire about that country (not your country) than you

[mountainape14]

I'd have a battle of wits with you, but obviously would be fighting an unarmed 'man' < I use the term loosely....think about it, you might get it one day. In the meantime maybe instead of poking your nose where it doesn't belong (obviously being so uneducated and all...maybe your time would be better spent reading some history books and see what makes you better than everyone you're trash talking...profound huh?! Now run along little boy...stupid bitch

[mountainape14]

And one more thing...maybe when you take fourth grade history (make sure you take spelling too) you'll see that the Indians sold most of their land for a bottle of whiskey...we're fortunate to get to share this great land with the natives no matter what your limited education may tell you. Suggestion > get an education before you get an opinion ;) It will take more than your half-witted ideas to rob us of pride in our country....later 'dude'

[7igoprince]

this country belongs too the indians and not you thugs you guys a involved in ervery war world war 1 and 2 well world war 2 was good that you were involdet but what about vietnam or iraq let me guess you needet oil so you STOLE it just like you stole this country bitch

[mountainape14]

AWW...the poor little boy is mad now...it's OK..suck it up. This site used to be OK til morons like yourself started with your half-witted opinions and over-all trash talk....I'm sure your parents are proud...you rock little man ;)

[7igoprince]

but hey dont be sad that your a fucking faggot one day you all die god bless the 11the of september poor guys were crying now you now how it feels too be killed bitch

[cwidman99]

You're both fucking idiots, ok?

[cwidman99]

(directed to mountainape14, 7igoprince)

[mountainape14]

You're obviously a lowlife piece of meaningless shit with absolutely no life and n0othing better to do that HATE.....bite me ....it would take more than a half wit like you to make any difference in the world...so you just keep on HATING and give yourself a big pat on the back....later moron

[7igoprince]

HAHA i dont hate your country wyhe should i hate them they have good movies but i think its stupid too be proud about a country that all it those is kill an murder and steal

[PunkiChick180]

This was the Grandmother momorial Song

Alot with... The Rankin Family- Fare Thy Well Love. Both songs I adore

[RoadkillHermes]

This was a beautiful tribute to the soldiers,god bless all our Canadian and Nato allies.

[1eightseven]

this was my fathers funeral song :(

[stefansmom]

thank you for posting this video. the nato forces overseas are doing the same jobs our fore fathers did protecting freedom and the right to live in a free country... Support the troops and wear red on fridays please:)

[warmonger2008]

that was an awesome vid, and i ain't even canadian!

[PolkaDotBoxs]

This songs is gangsutrrr!

[beatontlc]

Of all of the choices that could be made to give our soldiers respect, honour, love and support, I think that this song is the most appropriate, because they might choose it themselves.

[BombshellfromBrookly]

In war everyone loses, some just a little more than others. What can I say war is hell. I hope the politicians who sent these fellows there are serious because if they are not and just playing around with geopolitics then they will have answer to these families who have given everything.

[ArynCanada]

We invented the term peacekeeper. Find a peacekeeper mission that we haven't been part of? A Canadian wrote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for the UN!

[canadiangirl1041]

only problem is this isn't a peacekeeping mission anymore, it had already escalated into a war while Chretien was still PM

[ArynCanada]

A fair point.

[ArynCanada]

We are a world leader in humanitarian missions. 50% of the Afghanistan population were subject to execution for learning to read. You decide if that's an important enough reason to to be in Afghanistan. Canada's never shied from an humanitarian mission before....cough...Rwanda...Yug­oslavia....cough....

[LakitaWaterfall]

This video is amazing it really makes you proud to be a Canadain and i give every Canadain who is fighting for peace my support. You picked the perfect song for this video. God Bless the Canadain Soldiers

[beatontlc]

To All have opinions:

The men and women of this country fought, were wounded and died, to ensure that you all have the freedom to express your opinions. Each of us, owes them respect and honour in return.

Now governments, that is another matter. LOL

May God bless the troops, keeping them save in the centre of His Will for each of their lives and may he save us from the government proceedures that muck and mire our decision making process.

[FuzzyMilkXD]

The guy at 2:18 looks like Bruce Willis! :O

[canadiangirl1041]

lol, yeah he does doesn't he, I remember him from when I was in cadets, he was an officer in my corps.

[Buarawng]

Instead of insulting each other, it is way better to pay honor to those who serving there and who had laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. Canadians are peace-loving people, and our soldiesrs serve there in order to keep peace. But, in the real world, there are some confrontation and fighting when peace is not possible by peaceful means.

[pikilzz]

Beautiful video I must say. I love The Rankin Family, and the troops definately deserve our support, whether we support the general idea of the war or not, there are people fighting over there, Candaians and otherwise, who should be recognized for that. Way to go :)

[pikilzz]

Beautiful video I must say. I love The Rankin Family, and the troops definately deserve our support, whether we support the general idea of the war or not, there are people fighting over there, Candaians and otherwise, who should be recognized for that. Way to go :)

[cedarbeam]

As an American I am embarrassed by our politics and foriegn policy. The US could learn a few things from Canada. Like Canada, we could be such a force for good in the world if only....

[lupusursus]

May our troops be blessed along with all the other soldiers who are fighting in Afghanistan. It's good to see this kind of patriotic piece. As Canadians we tend to downplay patriotism...sadly.

[yourredcomrade717]

the patriotism of one nation eventually leads to the hate of another. the us is fighting for nothing, dieing for nothing. its another vietnam. while one half of us troops commit warcrimes and slaughter civilians, the other tosses candy and water and medicine.

us patriotism should be felt and not heard. as most patriots in the us now tend to know dick about what they are cheering about.

[arlene100]

This was a beautiful song, lets keep the troops safe. Let`s bring them home.

[Emporius]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Kudos!

[amosjess]

That soundtrack is awesome.

[SCOTSDOC]

General Lewis MacKenzie now thinks we need 40000 men to secure Kandahar

[Redfox161616]

YEAH I KNOW WHY DID WE SEND THEM THERE F*CK THE LAST 3 PM's I WOULD RATHER GO TO Macedonia a un PEACE KEEPING MISSION WERE THERE IS THREAT OF INVASION BY 4 NATIONS AND WHERE WE ARE DESPRITLY NEEDED THEN THIS F*CKIN SH*T HOLE....

[selket51]

I feel sad that the Canadians are now involved in this sort of thing...we have always been such a peaceful country and now we are involved in this...war is never a winning situation for anyone.

[mequel]

i thought it was a good movie my dad is seving offer in afganistan and it's good that so many care for our troops so were your red on fridays were the suppot our troupes hats and pins and help them ome home safe

[iraqizizou]

conservatives have been good lately, they should bring back the troops for a better decision.

[SCOTSDOC]

Our Govt. has sent our Canadian troops into a 'no win' situation inadequately supplied with transport(helicopters), weapons or manpower. Our troops are

doing the US dirty work in Kandahar.US troops have pulled out.Canada is left facing a peasant insurrection because their only cash crop is being deliberately destroyed on US instructions! Canada will find it far safer and cheaper, to buy every damn poppy at market price.The locals will rebuild the farms villages and towns with the money.

[eaks52]

I must agree with you about the Poppy crop, it's hard to win the "hearts and minds"when we take away the only means of making a living. However Canada is there as a member of Nato,not at the behest of the US. Just because it is also in their interest does not make it wrong.I'm glad that if the world must have a "superpower" that it is the US and not a dictatorship.

[SCOTSDOC]

The entire poppy crop is worth under $1 billion and the USA has just given the Pentagon another EMERGENCY EXTRA$77 billion. BUY THE POPPIES win the peasants hearts and minds!!

[eaks52]

You are absolutely right. It is only the ridiculous "war on drugs" that is stopping them. In this regard, I do believe the Canadian Government is kissing up to the Americans.

[selket51]

The US is a dictator ship, if you read the foreign policy it has had for the past 500 years there isn't much difference...Bush said, "It would be much easier if this was a dictatorship, especially if I am the dictator!" Of course I am paraphrasing, but I think you get it.

[mequel]

your right but we cant camplain instead lets contact the goverment and the media and tell them what thier doing to pour troops

[KillerJrCanada]

I see we have many professionals on the subject of our involvment in Afghanistan, but... have any of you been there to see for yourselves? So unless your gonna put your ass on the line for your buddies then keep your uneducated opinions to yourself.

[ddoll]

Well done
