British Army: Your role as a combat soldier

[joecool641]

As a British combat soldier you'll be trained to fight, and win.

[kwt800]

The UK and America are at frontline of defending the west

[jackydefo]

wow look at all you kids arguing over whos better lol

we are the strongest allies on earth

little internet warriors calm down

[BHALT0S]

should all just think on this, UK and USA together we are stronger for it, apart perhaps not so much although we can do our own thing.

we can have all these petty arguements about who is best, but lets face it, we both UK/USA have similar values, we want to both do right by the world, were all just ordinary folks and were both good at making/inventing things.

Im a Scottish Highlander, and war is fun for us it's bred into us, id rather fight taliban with the yanks on my side. :+)

[wixterdude]

we should star a war on U.S.A reason 1. they think there all hard with there U.S marines Reason 2. they nick our ideas of jets nuchelasumbarines .  Reason 3 they are soft so they will be shit easy

[THEDYLANB133]

@wixterdude you sound like a twat, if UK started war on USA then more countries will join with USA and defeat us

[5872steve]

For Fncks sake? My guns better than yours, Just be gratefull we fight alongside each other and not against each other.

[AnsedeWKF93]

This is a really good vid about the Army. It shows the real life of the militaries. I'm Spanish, and I really admire the other countries' Forces. We have a lot to learn. All the ads about our Armed Forces talk about the delivery of the humanitarian aid, the "peaceful" actions in Afghanistan, Lebanon and so on. Our Government is always offending the militaries and our politicians don't want to recognise that Spain is fighting in a real war because people and soldiers die because of the islam.

[AnsedeWKF93]

@AnsedeWKF93 In Spain, the society is absolutely against the Armed Forces and the militaries. They hate the people who protect them every day. So, we can't show tanks in the Army's ads because they remind them to the 1981 coup d'état. Our only Armoured Division (the "Brunete 1") has been disolved because it was created by Franco (a dictator). We have an absurd law called the "historic memory", and it becomes illegal all the things which may remind us to Franco and the francoism. It divides us.

[Mrhockeykid100]

Hey mates don't forget about good ol'canada up here we have a awesome military to we learned it from you britain we have missiles we have subs we have all the stuff the us has and more we were britians best pilots

[BlackHawk32495]

They do have a great army. what do we americans have: special forces, stealth aircraft (the only ones in the world because our government doesnt like to share classified information so sorry brits out of luck) And an ASSLOAD OF NUCLEAR MISSLES LEFT OVER FROM THE COLD WAR. btw. I love Nuclear Ballistic Missle Submarines. The USS Nautalus is an amazing ship: worlds first nuclear submarine

[UKmatt89]

@BlackHawk32495 You do realise our special forces SAS train all you special forces right? As we have plenty nuclear weapons at hand, and better fighter jets, stealth aircraft are for future, we have no need for them yet, and when we do, we'll will have them!

[BlackHawk32495]

@UKmatt89 really cuz i know some ppl who were in US special forces and they recalled being trained by other american special forces not british soilders. and planes Harriers are used by america too (i know you guys have others though) cont..... (no more space)

[BlackHawk32495]

@UKmatt89 I wll give you that the Challenger is the best tank in the world better than the abrams too. Unfortunaltley your government wil have to reaserch stealth for itself becuase our government wont tell anyone, not even the people who pilot stealth aircraft how they work. btw. I understand That the UK has a Prime Minister and a Monarch, how does that work out? I dont understand that.

[nav2491i]

@BlackHawk32495 Wow! you are a disgrace to america! stealth is actually being shared with england and a few other countries which is why the f-35 is named the joint strike fighter. And ahaha the uss nautilus was not a fleet nuclear ballistic missile submarine. it may be a nuclear powered sub but that was just it.

To all brits please dont be offended by what my "SPECIAL" american brother said...

He`s just prematurely born me thinks so just ignore him.

[N64isgreat]

Why are there so many comments about the US army in the video? And why are they in every single other video about the British army? Are they that full of themselves?

[brotherhoodoutcast22]

@N64isgreat becuse in britain we geto to many reports with the u.s killing brits wat has grown a disliek to the u.s.a and it army and britain has better train soldiers then the US

[08nate92]

one newzealand soldier would kill 10 american marines , if they were to fight eachother in a war ,,

[RoKsTa9]

join the royal marines :D

[AlexDrinkwater100]

its typical american steroetyping, even when they have allies they still have to be better then everyone... how about u compare the u.s military against the taliban insted of your allied troops helping you

[Jacobrocks9900]

Go danish military!

[Mrmarkham8]

@TheNinjapizza and @Connor Ferguson

why are you arguing about who has the best army?

the british and americans both have very capable and effective armys, and you both seem to be forgeting that we are allies. yes the british train harder but the americans have the hardware and funding to back them up.

[TheNinjapizza]

the british army trains very hard, it doesit matter what training you recivce, it matters who has you in sights, and who has the guts to pull the trigger, i hate brits, they talk werid and insult americans for being patroits. fuck u

[ReflectionsVM]

@TheNinjapizza Bollocks from Australia

[ALPHATWINZZZ]

The Navy seals are equivelent to our Royal marines. pretty much. there the navys amphibious fighting force.

[TheNinjapizza]

the brits army look very awesome. but i think usa marines are the best. they recive hard training. they fight to win. they are their own elite. army rangers... sounds like they are trained to be park rangers not army rangers. navy seals.... they just suck. MARINES!!!!!!!!!!!

[ConnorFerguson08]

how come all the americans say that the us marines have the hardest training there training is only 4 months long and they just started doing some shitty CFT not long when the british have been doing it for years and theres is alot harder!

[TheNinjapizza]

its because americans are better. We kicked ur ass to become a nation, and we can kick ur ass to say " ENGLAND CAN STICK THIER TEA UP THIER ASS!"

[ConnorFerguson08]

no really nut the average american soldier doesnt even no the full potential of his gun! an average american soldier would only be able to kill one british person when a trained british soldier would be able to kill about four american soldiers if they where in a war against each other

[Ziolence]

says the mcdonalds lovers. atleast we have brains and dont shoot our OWN guys. retards

[Ned406]

I concur.

[Ned406]

You laugh over peoples deaths, you are a very sad person.

[tytaker14]

why cant everyone in da world get 2gether and just get stoned :) USA!!!!!!!!

[SAINTADAM123]

some british army jobs are easy to get like maybe a basic combat soldier but others like an officer or to get a trade are harder britian have a good sucsess rate not because its easy to get into but because our soldiers rock!

[Communist2012]

looooooool your soldiers are getting owned every day XD look at the news retard hahahah

[pimptastic666]

The British army have the best trained soldiers in the world, one of the reasons for this is we have a small army, where we lack in quantity we gain in quality as each individual soldier gets better training as that individual can be focused on more

I.E

if theirs a class of 30 students in one class

and a class of 5 students in another class

Who is going to benefit the most?

[08nate92]

@pimptastic666 thats exactly why nz soldiers are good

[brotherhoodoutcast22]

@pimptastic666 very cleaver and to true

[BlackHawk32495]

@pimptastic666 Ireal has a great military too, they beat 5 arab nations while completely outnumbered, the bible is right god is truly with them. I think any ally of america with power has a great military. I wonder how russia is doing ever since communism there disapeared.

[sparatan1528]

I think that the U.S. Navy Seals and the British S.A.S. are the best soldiers in the world

[Elitepoosniff]

ha! navy seals they really do sound like a a kids toy, the navy seal are no way near being inline with the best in the world,

[ysflightman]

I'm an american an... well the british army kicks major ass.

[DJdavidladdie]

The British army is definatly the best army in the world, they don't have the best eqiupment but they just put up with it, (that is why they are good!)

[kwicksdoinit]

anyone care to disagree?

[kwicksdoinit]

correction...they are the best in the world.....only one force can match them and thats the gurkha's who are more loyal to the cause than most that are born here

[galacticdude7]

Why are so many people hating on the British Army? They have got to be some of the best fighters in the world. I personally would not want to invade the UK. The british were able to keep Hitler's ground forces out of the British Isles. That is serious skill

[Oneandoneself]

I wanna be in the Royal Artillery

[BritishAndProud13]

how can any1 call our army crap when we have the best special forces, the fastest and most accurate tanks in the world & weev won every war in the last century!!

[08Dazza80]

any1 who says the british army are crap havnt seen our full force :D

[Bladed0edge0razor]

lol...most accurate tanks in the world???

[Arbitrary242]

They aren't really. They have rifled barrels and the 'educated' army obsessives in Britain claim that this makes them more accurate, when in fact fin-stabilised shells that the Americans and other nations use are in fact just as accurate if not more accurate.

[Bladed0edge0razor]

Well it should make it more accurate than a smooth bore when normal shells are used right???but I wouldn't go as far to say that this is the most accurate tank in the world!

[Arbitrary242]

Smoothbore guns never use shells without fins, that would be ridiculous since they would be about as accurate as a musket!

[Merc1an]

You do not know anything about war, you would shit you're self if you ever had to fight.

So shut up you cunt

[Communist2012]

And your crap weakling soldiers are getting owned in Iraq and Afghanistan and I always see them crying like babies oh boohoo LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL and you been getting owned by green on green US friendly fire LOL TOO FUNNY!

[plooptube]

how can you call our country crap? you live fucking russia which is basically africa but cold and i dont mean africa as in a cultural place with loads of sights to see i mean a shithole. your country is so shit when i was at school we had to send you faggots presents in shoeboxes/ why are you proud of being a communist?the only thing good avout being a commie is that if you're an absolute retard you still get the same wage as a doctor, oh well i guess you're quids in.

[SeaRifle]

lol you owned him

[21stcenturyphantom]

@plooptube This proper made me laugh! Hahaa.

[plooptube]

"i always see them crying like babies" how about you come over here with the rest of your country looking for a job and we all start firing at you? lets see how tough you are then you vodka guzzling,job stealing,kossack dancing prick

[chimodawg]

Fuck off you stupid dick

[Oneandoneself]

NICE one retard

[GWRtom]

why dont you go to afgahn then how whould you like it if you saw friends torn a part by small arms fire and injured/dismantled in an ided explosion

[lushonlouis]

its I.E.D improvised explosive devise lol not ided

[GWRtom]

sorry typoi mistake

[rabwatt321]

what the hell are you talking about? how can a bunch of afghan farmers beat the british army?

i can understand why they beat the soviets they are shite, they lost more than 1000 people a year, 451 aircraft, 1461 tanks and had to use pussy weapons(landmines) because they were so shite.

if farmers can beat them then anyone can

[Elitepoosniff]

the Afghans dont lay the mines you tit there from when russia invaded and faild!, there not farmers tech has change big time since the russians had invaded and faild i must say, its not the weapons they use its the way they work the taliban are high on drugs and ready to fight the holy war on the west, they dont care for the west as everyone can tell

[rabwatt321]

wtf? do you know anything? the taliban do use mines, IED,s mostly made from artillery shells, but they do use proper landmines! yes the russians have left mines there but the amount of people killed by russian mines are far less than the ones that the taliban are constantly laying. they may be high but how will that help them? if anything it will just make them easier to kill because they think they are invincable and stand in the middle of open ground firing into the sky like rambo

[Elitepoosniff]

YES! i no i was saying the russians dropped the mines and they use anything in them

[ArmyMad7]

@Communist2012 yeah i can see we are getting owned by adding stability to the country, i like how russia arent getting involved again as you got fucking smashed to shit, and its '' blue on blue '' you fucking whopper. now sit down and drink some vodka.

[Communist2012]

Your navy is so crap it got owned in the Falklands lol you almost lost :D

The english army is dilapidated. They should just give up on their Military. The days of the english Military are numbered. Every time they get in a firefight they run away scared and call for US air support EVERY SINGLE TIME lol cowards

BOOM IED :D

[DrzBa]

"You almost lost" = We won. Again.

Over the last few wars British forces fought in, let me see,

Played 8, Won 8.

Not so "crap" , "owned", or "weakling" now, eh?

[TheBadMaus]

Your an idiot mate...

[SeaRifle]

Communist2012:

1. its not the english army its the British army faggot..

2. 2-3 ships where destroyed

3. we destroyed loads of Argentinan air forces planes

4. our soldiers(Royal marines and rifles) owned their infantry

5. are airforce destroyed meny plans..

8 wars 8 won

I won't say anything about ur army, what happend in the world war and cold war..

nearly being destroyed and that..

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

falklands: read it up. preferably different sources, then put it all together.

please, lets not talk about the russian army (if thats were youre from)

NOW; THATS hopeless.

also, ive been talking to an ex-russian. russia really is a shit-hole. people have to live on 60$ rent, the whole eastern part is either full of muzzies or nazis burning down hospitals. and so on..

[DalekThay5]

Yeah, your mostly right mate, however, I never lived on the Eastern part of Russia. Parts of Russia are ok, like Saint Petersburg really is not that bad.

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

of course, some parts, i expect, are well nice. also its rich with history, etc. im also told that slavs got balls and are mostly upright (the common population, not the rich ones)

[GWRtom]

um no they dont if they do call in air support its from the R.A.F crews at kandaha airfield

[Russia4ever110]

we would destroy the British, Russia and American join forces=no more uk

[SeaRifle]

That's soo funny considering America hates you and were their closest ally

[GWRtom]

dumb fuck are S.A.S are the best in the world not forgetting the marnines commandos and our euro fighter pilots nucleur subs challanger 2 SA 80 the most acaurate assault rifle

[charlieproductions]

the S.A.S. are actually proven to be the best soldiers in the world,

[ScouserLegend]

i'd like to see America side with Russia to fight against Great Britain when America is Great Britains closest ally asshole go back to red cross shoe boxes our present generation send over for you

[computersANDstuff]

If people dont like the british army then why bother watching the video.....???

Or infact, why bother commenting????

[Russia4ever110]

Caseu we like bashing these faggots

[otherjj1]

wats the diffrnce between regular and teratorial? (spelling)

[computersANDstuff]

Regular is full time, TA is part time.

[SSPanzerKommandant]

You guys so won during the conflict in Northern Ireland...... Got OWNED by the IRA! UP THE RA!!!

[BisleyBob]

Ha, where are the IRA now?..... oh dear. Their bosses even admitted that they weren't getting anywhere with their "armed struggle" and have opted to try and get a united Ireland through political means. Doesn't sound like a victory to me.

[SSPanzerKommandant]

Sinn Fein only said that so that negotiations would run smoooth. And Sinn Fein only started negotiations so you British wusses would stop targetting civilians. T.A.L!

[BisleyBob]

Ha ha, how ridiculous. I think putting bombs in high streets full of shoppers counts as targeting civilians don't you? What a cowardly act. Yes, civilians have been caught in the crossfire as with any war, but that wasn't the army's aim, you can't say the same about the bombs.

[SSPanzerKommandant]

The IRA gave your gov't warnings about where the bomb is, and where it is going to go off. It is because of the incompitence of your gov't that civilians were injured.

[BisleyBob]

That's a ridiculous thing to say. Take the omagh bomb, a warning was put out that the courthouse was the target, it was evacuated and the bomb was 400m down the street. They could have chosen not to detonate with all civilians around, but they set it off anyway. You can't glorify cowardly murderers like that. But hey, no point providing a decent argument against you as the brainwashing clearly started early.

[SSPanzerKommandant]

Oh yeah, and the PSNI/RUC, British Military, and Loyalist paramilitaries are just so innocent.

[BisleyBob]

At the end of the day the fact is that the security services' aim was not to murder but to bring peace to the streets and stop the killing by both loyalists and republicans. An aim that they achieved. Achieving your aim is not a defeat in anyones books.

[SSPanzerKommandant]

Then why would the British gov't release files saying that the IRA were NOT beaten?

[BisleyBob]

That's different to there being peace on the streets isn't it? I never said the IRA were beaten, of course some cells will remain, but they aren't bombing anything or shooting anyone so who gives a fuck?

[HWAskiBRAVO]

cant wait to serve

[chrisane136]

Good video UKMatt, proud to British.

[daleseye]

am looking forward to becoming part of the british army, i am set for my first phase in 3 month so pre training is coming on great. nice video....

[lHoodlum]

i Cant wait 2 Join my country in combat

[demakre]

excellent video!! i strongly recommend you the documentary "Ross Kemp in Afghanistan" also available in youtube. Shows how british regiment fight with talibans....during few months with hard firing and extremly skirmishes.^^

[secondtolastmythal]

Royal Artillery forever!

[Khadeeja4]

Is military training the same in the UK as in the US?

[thebritish25]

No the British Is more Strict than the US army

[lHoodlum]

Nope we Have better Training then the US this comes from the days of the British Empire where we have learned secret tactiks that no1 else knows. Thats the reason why we have the best trained army in the world

PS.The US DOES HAVE GOOD TRAINING but no where near as advanced as the british army =]

[PhilintheBlank1]

Where's the statistics? If we're just bragging, there's no way you can beat the U.S.

[lHoodlum]

=S What are You on about beating the US Who said anything about that? M8 you may be a superpower but dont think your invinceable The british have the best trained troops in the world. Ur not doing a good job against the taliban lol what makes u think u can take on the british?

[CaptainAmerica322]

last time I checked, the brits are there fighting the insurgents as well, and guess what, youre not doing any better. the US and UK are not trained to fight cowards who dont come out and fight. the US and UK are best freinds anyways, so we will never need to see who would win

[UKmatt89]

Yes and I have respect for EVERY SINGLE man, American or British who have lost their lives in the middle east. We are slipping away as being best friends since Obama is coming to power, he will fuck everything up completely. Oh and by the way our T.A. Army bearly ever get called up, so we don't really need to worry about their training, so please don't compare them to your national Guard. You have come back before, but you din't have competitors like Russia and China, sorry your time is over.

[BlackHawk32495]

@UKmatt89 i dont know about in the UK but in america treehuggers like to hate on us veterans. there hippy grandparents brainwashed them. I hate those tree huggers who hate patriotism

[brotherhoodoutcast22]

@CaptainAmerica322 alot brits dont liek us so we anit best mates and it true tht we not doing good bec we fighting cowards

[UKmatt89]

Right, the US are being overtaken by China and Russia in armed forces termsn, and both countries are more than competeable with econemy and nuclear weapons, the US is nothing today, and is only getting worse.

[UKmatt89]

Not to mention over half (64,000) of the soldiers you sent were untrained home guard who keep getting them selves killed, as for statisics look them up you uneducated fool. Guess what any more shitty comments and ill just block you.

[PhilintheBlank1]

Don't you have any manners at all? As for the statistics, I know the U.S. ones, I just never came across any showing 'secret tactiks that no1 else knows' or the U.K. having the 'best' trained army in the world. I was just looking for some specific examples, but I guess that's too much for you to handle.

[UKmatt89]

To state such a comment of "there's no way you can beat the U.S." wouldn't you need to know both countries statistics? My argument is we spend more than any other country in the world on training our armed forces, our pilots our world class which is why we managed to be the luftwaffe completely alone. We invented the special forces in WWII with the SAS (Special Air Service) which are still the worlds most elite special force today who actually train the US specail forces, thanks.

[BlackHawk32495]

@UKmatt89 Jeez, you must people overwaelmed, im american and im not comparing armies here, ppl need to stop competeing wth their allies! I apprieciate your vid of the american anthem btw.

[brotherhoodoutcast22]

@PhilintheBlank1 to true to true

[PhilintheBlank1]

Go ahead, block me. Keep to your ignorant fascist self, stewing in your hatred for anyone who dares ask you to be mature about things. What good is an army when your society crumbles from within due to your incompetence in dealing with reality?

[CaptainAmerica322]

its national gaurd, and unlike youre territorial army, the natianal gaurd goes through the exact same training alonside regular army troops. 5000 lost in 6 years...not bad. fuck you. the us economy has crashed before, and after the great deppression, we emerged as the most powerful once again. and militarily, we ARE the most advanced and deadly military force in the world today. obama might ruin us though, and if he does, Ill assasinate him myself

[PhilintheBlank1]

Is there a G.I. Bill for the British Army?

[UKmatt89]

GI Bill?

[PhilintheBlank1]

G.I. Bill pays for college tuition & other stuff (I think housing too)

[iekaum]

Nice video.
