The mother must be an incredible woman being able to smile inspite of her child's horrible injuries. But then again, us Irish are a strong lot, and a bit stubborn too!! All the best.
Thankyou so so so much for uploading JohnSmithTheSecond, Im currently in tears whilst writing this, such brave souls,fighting so hard to keep us safe,I hope it will all be over soon and we can all live peacefully, Britain, America, Afganistan, Christians , Muslims, everyone, we all share this planet, and no country is better than the other, God bless these two boys......
I feel so bad for this guys:( I am 35 years old dork and I feel like crying:((
This young dudes loosing their legs, hands for war that noone even knows why it is going on for:((
War for oil, not even english oil but for israels check-mate to arabs that never harmed anyone. Does anyone see it even that Afgans are actually freedome fighters, fighting against foreign forces that invaded their land for no good reason??
What would you do if lets say Russian army would attack UK with no reason???
This documentary brakes my heart....these guys were so young and they just wanted to bring peace in my country...I am so sorry this happened to these guys.....
The fallacies of modern societys' sense of compassion are obvious. A soldiers best friend should be allowed to shoot a blown up soldier in the head. Living a life with artificial limbs is a prolonged punishment for a lot of military minded people. They would rather be dead than have their soldier body taken from them. The Spartans or the Legionnaires would understand.
@janblume0007 Yes it is. Then people can see what really goes on in the world. Too much is kept from us so we are not "upset" and that is why the british public are so apathetic to world affairs and would rather watch X factor. I also think its kept from us because we would start objecting and causing problems for the Gov if we were shown the truth all the time. No wonder our soldiers feel mis understood when they come home, as the worst thing that most people back here have seen is a dead cat
poor brother, he thinks the taliban is to blame instead of his government for putting the lives of its youth in dangers way for no other reason than to bow down to big dog USA...
Because like many others, he signed up to do something with his life, to be a part of a family, and not to sit around questioning all this bullshit about who why where and what should or would happen, cant change the events, even if they could have been avoided, he like every other one of us soldiers, do it for the job, for our mukkas, not the politics.
As sad as reality might be for you, and for every other soldier: your job is for the politics, I thought the general population already went over this but ok...
These terrorists attacking you and your freedom fries were instigated, by who? By your government. The weapons, the strategies its all our own shit dude and they're just feeding it back to us.
Dont tell me what I signed up for is wrong, its personal opinions and beliefs, meaning it cannot be wrong. We didn't sign up to look into the politics, we signed up to be able to do something positive with our lives, wind your neck in birdie.
We never fire first, Look at the first rule of the Geneva Convention - Do not fire until fired upon. That is the rule we stick by, if they try to kill us, then at the end of the day its us or them, regardless of race or religion, they are an enemy.
Why are you asking me, you seem to be the all knowing guru with all the answers.
Im not 100% sure why were out there, and im not particularly inclined to find out. I dont want to be out there to disagree with the reasons for being there, so I dont look at the politics
"... the old lie Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori"
You SHOULD be inclined to find out. You should KNOW why you're risking your fucking life man! You should disagree with what you don't like but how can you if you don't know what you like or not?!
@ksiedzuniu You disgust me you silly fat prick. We should turn our attention on you and the family you have put a picture of online. What goes around comes around and for your sick comment you will get what is coming to you.
The sooner you jarheads get past the "git r dun!" and full metal jacket mentality the sooner you'll realize that it is the government who put that man in the shoes of a soldier and why he didn't have to be there in the first place.
I think you'll find Jarheads and the Full metal jacket references are about the US Troops. I couldnt give a flying fuck about the politics mate, were disciplined, we are soldiers, we follow orders without question.
Im joining the Army in the next month or so and watching this :\ i still want to join...Most people dont have a clue about some of the lads like Allen.

the government didnt put the explosives there, Dont talk about what you dont know mate, unless you have been there
sk8inmadkiddo 2 years ago
You're looking at 1 problem instead of looking at the 100's of them behind that little 1.
Why were the explosives there in the first place?

Typical response of a teenage child who got his views challenged and has no way to retaliate.
Alas, to some ignorance really is bliss.
Kloster18 2 years ago
You really have no clue or life experience evidently, what have you done that shows any means of understanding this whole situation?
sk8inmadkiddo 2 years ago
I read the news.
I read the paper.
I speak to people
I'm informed
I try not to be bias.
Let's put this aside for a moment and get to the real argument here though.
"the government didnt put the explosives there"
I agree it was the terrorists. But why?
Why was that soldier there at that moment?
Kloster18 2 years ago
Because like many others, he signed up to do something with his life, to be a part of a family, and not to sit around questioning all this bullshit about who why where and what should or would happen, cant change the events, even if they could have been avoided, he like every other one of us soldiers, do it for the job, for our mukkas, not the politics.
sk8inmadkiddo 2 years ago
That's wrong.
As sad as reality might be for you, and for every other soldier: your job is for the politics, I thought the general population already went over this but ok...
These terrorists attacking you and your freedom fries were instigated, by who? By your government. The weapons, the strategies its all our own shit dude and they're just feeding it back to us.

So you hate terrorists for fighting for something they blindly and fanatically believe in and you're telling me that this is different?!
Kloster18 2 years ago
When did I even say I "Hated terrorists"
They have their beliefs, its what they know, I don't dispute that or disrespect it
sk8inmadkiddo 2 years ago
Sorry let me clarify:
You don't hate them, you just kill them.
Doesn't change the point I was(and still am) trying to make.
Kloster18 2 years ago
We never fire first, Look at the first rule of the Geneva Convention - Do not fire until fired upon. That is the rule we stick by, if they try to kill us, then at the end of the day its us or them, regardless of race or religion, they are an enemy.

Dude dont get me wrong, im not trying to disrespect what you do for your country and for your people.
But the fact that you as a soldier don't question what your higher ups command you to do, then what?
When you let your mind be controlled like that, it's all over.
Kloster18 2 years ago
You just proved my point, and with that I will wind my neck in quite happily.
