What the fuck are they doing there?.......if there here The afghan people wont be fighting for their land and will stop killing them for invading there country
1921 Iraq is formed when Britain seeking oil snatched the Kurdish-majority province of Mosul from Turkey and attached it to Mesopotamia, then called the new entity Iraq. (42)
Puppet ruler installed and the cheap oil is flowing. Wow nothing has changed in 90 years.
Iraq was given very little coastline by creating Kuwait so Iraq couldn’t threaten the British control of the Gulf.
Cant wait to come and help you diggers in 4 years, keep up the good work. All shall be remebered aussie aussie aussie Oi Oi Oi true blue aussie spirit!
Great song, like most Australians we all want peace with Teeth,The Aussies in all the war zones supply the teeth, I just hope that the men , women ,children in these countries, that they have to go and fight in, get the message, we want rights for all people,all people deserve rights....... whatever your religious or non religious view.
if it wasn't for these fighting men and women our freedom wouldn't be where it is today and for years to come sometimes some of us don't realise the real cost of freedom and at what sacrifices are made god bless our defence forces
This has put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I'm truly proud to be Australian.Our Aussie soldiers deserve all our respect and support, you guys make us proud. God bless u all and be safe
To diggersmum23 and all the digger mums i hope your children come home safe Thank you from one more american our country couldn't ask for better allies
As A US Army veteran of the 1st Gulf War, I salute the Australian soldiers and Australian government for their support in this war on terror the free world is fighting. Australia has always been a strong ally of the free world and my hat is off to the troops and their families.
if your son is in the defence force please thank him for us! without him and so many others we would not feel safe here in our homes, on our trains, buses and planes.
our diggers have chosen a career to be proud of, any boss at work gives orders and staff usually oblige ,the politics of this is simple.If @ tindofa is so opposed to our diggers workload then write to the U.N. .I'm sure @tindofa's mum would advise more effort directed through proper channels, and would be hurt to think this person could be so thoughtless as to insult all diggers mums .I am happy to defend diggersmum23 right to post this video. from another diggersmum

I am ex 1 RAR, and seriously, you idiots who abuse these digger's, don't deserve the freedoms they die for. Grow up, this is for real.
we fight for freedom ,listen to your own fucking words...not take it away...we have few police in victoria but we send them cuz you all think your american....your off my wall..digger fights for freedom fools....put ya heads in the sands of shame.
get the fuk out,we fight against invasion not invade ....yes your on the wrong side of it all.... i am ozzie and we aint murderers..how cud ya be proud of this invasion/s..
@tlndofa. You can look at this for gas and oil all you want, but it also creates stability in the region/world. It's that simple.

the amazing thing about our soldiers is that they risk there lives to protect the innocent and sand up for the rights of everyday human beings they go days without showering or days without water while we are at home watching the TV to all the boys in Afghanistan if i could i would fight along side you with the aussie flag stitched on my arm because i am you are we are Australian. and we stand up for the things that people deserve
i know wars in 3rd world countries are inevetable but i dont think its worth 1 drop of blood from an aussie digger or an american grunt,i dont think there worth the tears of a mother crying at a flag drapped coffin,those bastards dug in ,AKA terrorists and the normal joe doesnt really know about it,i know timor wasnt worth the shit we copped,but i support righteous armed incursion,it takes the power of a star to make 1 life lets not waste it on human waste,good luck+god bless all the allies
Hey Diggersmum, good on you lady. I was a soldier once, served in Vietnam but we were not very welcome back then and were given a bad time when we came back. When we came home we thought our fighting was done, but then we found it had only just begun. The first two lines of a poem I wrote about it.
Aussies don't forget Bali thats why we attack these terrorists where they are Afghanistan,thats where they get trained and brainwashed so good luck Aussies and all allies
@MrElliott2481 retarded? learn to speak English before you use it retard,and i know who killed our countrymen (well unarmed kids and teenagers to be exact with a bomb parked in a car COWARDS) it was Indonesions,so where did i say they were Afghani,don't comment until you can UNDERSTAND the language, retarded retard
exactly, were talking about afganistan here remember. were debating about the reason the aussies went there in the first place. so why would they go to afganistan to get the bali bombers?, who were obviously indonesion not afgani. two very different people, and a long way away from each-other. look im australian too and i feel in everyway sorry for the poor aussie lives lost in bali. but i dont see the reason we went over to the other side of the world, for something very stupid like this.
Sorry for the long posts... but you need to stop seeing Australia, America, the UK, Canada, NZ ect ect as different people. We're all one. If someone attacks your sister, you're not going to sit there with your thumb in your ass and do nothing, you're going to do all you can, no matter how little or big it is... Americans and Australians are all the same.
Especially when you think that we all originated from Ireland! =P True fact.
All western countries are peacekeeping countries. We don't fight a war for nothing. We fight for righteousness and freedom. What these terrorists did in 9/11 was not just attacking American people, it was attacking a way of life, a way of life that western Counties share. So, when you attack one of us, you get a shit storm... thus over 31 countries are fighting the war against terrorism... the main bulk being British, American, Canadian and Australian. You also have France and the list goes on.
The UN Declared 31 sitations for Afgahnistan, Iraq and Iran to not harbor international terrorists. You don't respond to 10,000 American casualties with diplomacy.
Over the past 2 centuries Australia and America have been fighting side by side against all forms of evil... this is just a new form of evil.
You don't have 200 years of history together to decline a call for help from your Allies. This is just as much Australia's war as it is America's.
Although 9/11 happend in America you gotta remember the Aussie way. "Is it standing by ya mate, when his in a fight" or there is the "ya wouldn't let ya mates down till they had ya dusted off"
Thats the true way of these Aussie Diggers in this video. So i salute every single one of them.
Thank you for this video, it really touched my heart. Mu husband, left early October for his 18 month tiur to Iraq, and I know how you feel, and everyother Military Wife out there, its so hard to see the person you love so much walk away.
Good luck to our Aussie Soldiers and come home safe and sound.
:) if the world was starved for oil that taliban was disrupting (Im not entirely sure) wouldn't most countries be embroiled in war over oil supplies by now?
You've really got to ask, 'What is the Australian Defence Force doing, being part of an illegal invasion force'? Defence Force? How are they defending Australia?
Of course the Aussies are great soldiers, but, it seems to me they are defending and dying for Israel. Not Australia at all. For an oil pipeline!
Best not to forget all those poppies too. (Big dollars there for someone or some country)
No country has declared war on us or attacked us in the last fifty years, so why?
Illegal invasion? I don't think so. Afghanistan harbored and tried to protect those who commit the act of terrorism in the world.
When you kill innocent civilians, you invite attack. Are we just going to sit and wait until either we or our brothers in freedom are attacked again?
The Australians are people of uncommon valor. Through my Australian friends, I've come to know them. I'm proud to call them friends. The insights I've gained from them have opened my mind to great ideals.
yes, no country has declared war on us, but terrorists declared war on us when they started killing us in there suicide bombs....sari club/Bali and so on.... u seriously think australia invaded afghanistan for the poppies...lol wow...ur an idiot.... i competely agree with fatkinson1954, well said
because we are a peacekeeping country and are also allies with america after all 9/11 attack was from afghanistan and we cant let another thing like that happen again can we and we'ere also there 2 help rebuild the country and gain the trust of the aghan's and train the afghan national army 2 take over again an put order back into afghanistan and its not jus for a pipeline without oil america would be devestated theres not unlimited oil in the world and some taliban ppl made it 2 aus an try2attc
Doing their bit numbnuts.Aussies,Kiwis,Brits,Canadians,and Yanks,The 9/11 was a strike on our way of life.For your info we dont back down.If you dont supports what is going on at least support the jokers who are getting killed and maimed so you and I can be safe.Lond live the troops.
Go Diggers! You are men to make your ancestors proud. We all hear about the Brits & Yanks, but you guys are flying the flag high. Continue the good work you are doing and know we love and miss you, all. Come home safe boys.
please fellas next time your dropped off a chinook dont drop your packs and comms,re ammo, calling in artyif it hadnt of been for the SAS,lup on a LRRP,on the higher mountain calling in air and arty on your flanks the rangers would of had a LONNNGG DAY,i know they were taking fire from 4 sides,until pick up hot extract,they new you were coming that day
to all out soldiers in afghanistan and iraq i hope you get home soon ... thank you for everything you have done for our country you guys are top blokes and a lot of people could learn lot from you ... good on you guys keep it up we are all cheering for your safe return to the land down under.
I first saw this video a while back on Anzac Day when living in Turkey and I still play it frequently. Thank you diggersmum your song moves me deeply.
There are so many experts on the internet,but like you say "I'm not qualified to sit and judge". Old men have always sent young me off to fight and sometimes it is necessary. I don't know if this is the case here,but it doesn't matter. Our politicians said go so they go, and they do it for us so they must have our love and respect.
To our Aussie friends overseas. I know I am not the only American who is appreciative of your countries friendship with the USA and allied nations. May god bless you and you all come home safely. Thank you for your service!
I post a video tribute for my son and our defence force only to read people fighting on it.How hurtful and disrespectful...Its funny how some people realy believe they are experts on things and believe they are right....Very sad.
to Everyone, i was not trying to fight anyone, i was angry because my brother is in the ADF, and im about 3 weeks from Kapooka, so how much more support do you think i should give???
chocbizkit2001 is a tool and was disrespecting my brother, me and Australia, so i tryed to tell him so...and im not an expert on anything.. just know enough to tell him thats he's a fuk.. this is the last comment im going to do..
MonoChickenFeet don't waste your time arguing with someone like chocbizkit2001. He has no idea about what it is like over in Afghanistan and the faceless enemy we are up against. Good luck at Kapooka mate.
im proud of your son and i dont know him, what hes doing is selfless, my dad fought for this country 3 times in 1991, and last week we found out that my sisters friend Dave was killed during training awaiting deployment fir the 5th time, he served our country bravely 3 times in Afghanistan and once in Iraq
@diggersmum23 I am so sure @tindofa's mum is not aware of them being so insulting to so many mums in the same position as us! Have enjoyed your video !!! another diggers mum
@diggersmum23 I thank you for son he is part of the greatest fighting force in the world as an Australian I'm proud of the people who have the courage to fight for our rights . I wish your son a safe return and hope that you and your family know that people like my self will always respect and be in dept to people like your son , a true DIGGER . thank you
just relax guys, these things are so much bigger and more complicated than u know, ull never know untill uve been there, its getting closer to anzac day get out there support the adf and stop being keyboard jockey's.
MonoChickenFeet again your just saying common sense stuff. The militarys aim in afghanistan is to rid of terrorists or do they have a new objective this time? Come on now we all have to face the reality here. 7 years is way too long and had this been brought up before they went to war in iraq or afghanistan, i think the decision would have favoured not going there at all.
So again I have no clue what your whole point is? you just made a dick out of yourself.. I hope you and your brother are as competant as the "Taliban rebels" Did your brother train all these years to kill a student out of some Pakistani camp who was only given an AK47 yesterday? You guys are pretty amateur to rid of the Talibans by now. Whats it been 7 years now? omfg! 7 years! I could do it blind folded hahahaahahahahahahaha
my point is, 1. dont fuking disrespect anyone that puts their lives on the line everyday, just so other people can live with freedom.. cos thats just a fuking dog act..
2. dont take my insults and use them on me, that shows you have no ability to think on your own and come up with something new, after me telling you this before i thought you would have figured this out??
3. its not our job to "rid" the world of talibans, but to make the afgan army into an army so they can, so we can come home..
MonoChickenFeet mate wikipedia is only a click away, I cant take you to Afghanistan and show you who the Taliban are, They are from Pakistan. so a word of advice is look up "Taliban" on wikipedia which is the only thing you know and find our their history and origin. Im from Afghanistan btw ;)
lol, i dont need wikipedia, my brother is over there atm with 4RAR, plus, really.. in the end, i dont care where they are, or came from, or are going, cos if they shoot at me, im going to double tap them in the chest, afgan or not.. so just think about that before you start talkin about where they are from, because noone cares aye..
A bronze medal for calling air-strike every 50 meters they advance? LOL. rightttt... FACT: Taliban took over 90% of afghanistan in 2 weeks! FACT: It has still been over six years the so called "special forces" cannot take over a group of Pakistani students with no combat training, calling themselves the "Taliban". Its about time serious question have to be raised, Whats the reason behind the US occupancy of Afghanistan?
lol, actually have a read about why we got the bronze star and fuking learn something you fuking tool... please explain, how can an afgan be a Pakistani???????? you must be so fuked up in the head not to realise that they are from different countries.... and when your trying to stir some shit or even try to talk like you know something about whats going on over there, try and actually say new shit, dont just re-word your last post and think your good, cos you just made a dick out of yourself..
Bullshit you tard they took two years to get control of most of the country not 90%. A pack of pakistani students who fight poorly, are massacred in battle regularly and force the local population to live in fear of a "ruling" that generally results in brutal amputation of a limb or execution in the night of the local villagers. The only reason the Taliban still exist is the leaders can cower in Pakistan and send wave after wave of idiots to die for them.
The Australian army are such amateurs who can win over a pack of talibans (students) with an ak47 who have no life or mlitiary experience. The Talibans took over 90% of afghanistan in two weeks back in 2000 yet these so called "special forces" havent gained no grounds at all for years now. SHAME!! LOL
LOL at you mate, sounds like you have no idea.... how about the FACT that in the vietnam war, the aussie SF had a CONFIRMED kill rate of 500 to one, or another FACT that we do just the same amount of missions as the american's, but you dont hear about them cos we actually USE our training and we dont get killed.. or another FACT that since we have been in the Gan, the US gave us a Bronze star cos of how good we are. how about you no your shit before you say it..
What you mean to say is that the Taliban can no longer fight as a formed body anymore and no longer control the country. All the taliban can do is launch small scale assaults in empty foothills and blow up innocent afghanis in pointless suicide attacks. But yeah what a few hundred taliban plus few taliban leaders to one Aussie SF soldier, its a real waste that even one Aussie has to die fighting scum that even who you think are your people dont want.
Great video mate, im a proud aussie and im half way though my application for the army, and my brother is already in, serving in 4RAR. :) great vid again man
All up we have 57,000 troops, 1,000 in the middle-east some in east-timor. Our army insn't designed to be big, it's designed to be elite. I tell ya mate, there are no finer soldiers than Aussies. Just know my friend that our boarders will always be safe. Even if we were at the threat of invasion 10,000,000 hearty Aussies would step up.
im about 3 weeks away from starting my basic training im ninteen years old and i only hope that my parents will be as proud of me that you are of your son.
@knighta42 .They bloody will be.I am a former Kiwi who served in the Nam but am now in Canada.We are so very proud of all serving in the Sandbox.Good luck mate and come home safe.
Why dont we partion too get the Aussie troops back home there is no point in them being over there they are just wasting time its there country not ours.
I think anyone saying our troops should come back home because we are just doing it for America really needs to go over to afghanistan for themselves . And see how they treat women over there . And I encourage everyone reading this to learn as much as you can about why we are over there . not enough space in the comments box lol to explain . Email me if you would like any info I would be to happy . Great video by the way . I might make one like it , You have inspired me . Thanks
yes most of the insurgents dont care about anyone i heard they used children to get passed a security check points then they bailed out of the car leaving the kids in there and detonated the bomb in their car.
hey you american fuck your troops are the ones in boxes you have a nice death rate unlike us give me 100 aussie troops or a thousand others anyday no wonder your the most hated western country fucking pigs nuke yaself fuckhead
hey fuckhead your the ones who got attacked no disrespect to other people who lost there lives but hooky you cripple fuck should of been in the cockpit when it hit wake up and walk to the shop hey lol
Spike12225 the reason we have such a low death rate is that we are doing fuck all offensive ops in Iraq or Afghanistan. There are very restrictive caveats on what out guys can do, while other nations like Uk, USA and Canada are doing the hardyards and kicking in doors.
The reason people sleep peacibly in their beds at night,is because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.(George Orwell) God bless our aussie troops and those who fight with them.
Thank you from an American. May God bless your troops and Country. I'm very thankful that America still has some friends out there. I pray that your troops come home safely and live long and happy lives. I will always remember your Countries sacrifices. God bless Australia.
Beautiful. I am always looking for a pic of my son who is there now too. I just realised that I am as proud of all of them, they are Australias Sons....Mine is there and safe for now, thats all I need to know. Thankyou, from one diggersmum to another. Take care.
hi there, diggersmum. My brother is currently over there, & i'm sure your son & my brother are mates!!! you had me in tears, I saw a pic of my brother!! awesome videp!!! they'll be home soon!! take care xx
This is my first attempt at making a video.I have seen so many good videos for our soldiers,i wanted to make one for my son and all his mates currently serving in southern afghanistan.They are infantry soldiers and i am proud of them all.

exactly, were talking about afganistan here remember. were debating about the reason the aussies went there in the first place. so why would they go to afganistan to get the bali bombers?, who were obviously indonesion not afgani. two very different people, and a long way away from each-other. look im australian too and i feel in everyway sorry for the poor aussie lives lost in bali. but i dont see the reason we went over to the other side of the world, for something very stupid like this.

Sorry for the long posts... but you need to stop seeing Australia, America, the UK, Canada, NZ ect ect as different people. We're all one. If someone attacks your sister, you're not going to sit there with your thumb in your ass and do nothing, you're going to do all you can, no matter how little or big it is... Americans and Australians are all the same.
Especially when you think that we all originated from Ireland! =P True fact.

All western countries are peacekeeping countries. We don't fight a war for nothing. We fight for righteousness and freedom. What these terrorists did in 9/11 was not just attacking American people, it was attacking a way of life, a way of life that western Counties share. So, when you attack one of us, you get a shit storm... thus over 31 countries are fighting the war against terrorism... the main bulk being British, American, Canadian and Australian. You also have France and the list goes on.
Psychoseacow 2 years ago
The UN Declared 31 sitations for Afgahnistan, Iraq and Iran to not harbor international terrorists. You don't respond to 10,000 American casualties with diplomacy.
Over the past 2 centuries Australia and America have been fighting side by side against all forms of evil... this is just a new form of evil.
You don't have 200 years of history together to decline a call for help from your Allies. This is just as much Australia's war as it is America's.

I agree 9/11 happened in America, But don't forget the BALI BOMBINGS. That could have been you, me, a member of our family!

Although 9/11 happend in America you gotta remember the Aussie way. "Is it standing by ya mate, when his in a fight" or there is the "ya wouldn't let ya mates down till they had ya dusted off"
Thats the true way of these Aussie Diggers in this video. So i salute every single one of them.

holysoks1 2 years ago
You've really got to ask, 'What is the Australian Defence Force doing, being part of an illegal invasion force'? Defence Force? How are they defending Australia?
Of course the Aussies are great soldiers, but, it seems to me they are defending and dying for Israel. Not Australia at all. For an oil pipeline!
Best not to forget all those poppies too. (Big dollars there for someone or some country)
No country has declared war on us or attacked us in the last fifty years, so why?
kiltankin 2 years ago
Illegal invasion? I don't think so. Afghanistan harbored and tried to protect those who commit the act of terrorism in the world.
When you kill innocent civilians, you invite attack. Are we just going to sit and wait until either we or our brothers in freedom are attacked again?
The Australians are people of uncommon valor. Through my Australian friends, I've come to know them. I'm proud to call them friends. The insights I've gained from them have opened my mind to great ideals.

I first saw this video a while back on Anzac Day when living in Turkey and I still play it frequently. Thank you diggersmum your song moves me deeply.
There are so many experts on the internet,but like you say "I'm not qualified to sit and judge". Old men have always sent young me off to fight and sometimes it is necessary. I don't know if this is the case here,but it doesn't matter. Our politicians said go so they go, and they do it for us so they must have our love and respect.

MonoChickenFeet again your just saying common sense stuff. The militarys aim in afghanistan is to rid of terrorists or do they have a new objective this time? Come on now we all have to face the reality here. 7 years is way too long and had this been brought up before they went to war in iraq or afghanistan, i think the decision would have favoured not going there at all.
chocbizkit2001 2 years ago
So again I have no clue what your whole point is? you just made a dick out of yourself.. I hope you and your brother are as competant as the "Taliban rebels" Did your brother train all these years to kill a student out of some Pakistani camp who was only given an AK47 yesterday? You guys are pretty amateur to rid of the Talibans by now. Whats it been 7 years now? omfg! 7 years! I could do it blind folded hahahaahahahahahahaha
chocbizkit2001 2 years ago
my point is, 1. dont fuking disrespect anyone that puts their lives on the line everyday, just so other people can live with freedom.. cos thats just a fuking dog act..
2. dont take my insults and use them on me, that shows you have no ability to think on your own and come up with something new, after me telling you this before i thought you would have figured this out??
3. its not our job to "rid" the world of talibans, but to make the afgan army into an army so they can, so we can come home..

MonoChickenFeet mate wikipedia is only a click away, I cant take you to Afghanistan and show you who the Taliban are, They are from Pakistan. so a word of advice is look up "Taliban" on wikipedia which is the only thing you know and find our their history and origin. Im from Afghanistan btw ;)
chocbizkit2001 2 years ago
lol, i dont need wikipedia, my brother is over there atm with 4RAR, plus, really.. in the end, i dont care where they are, or came from, or are going, cos if they shoot at me, im going to double tap them in the chest, afgan or not.. so just think about that before you start talkin about where they are from, because noone cares aye..
MonoChickenFeet 2 years ago
A bronze medal for calling air-strike every 50 meters they advance? LOL. rightttt... FACT: Taliban took over 90% of afghanistan in 2 weeks! FACT: It has still been over six years the so called "special forces" cannot take over a group of Pakistani students with no combat training, calling themselves the "Taliban". Its about time serious question have to be raised, Whats the reason behind the US occupancy of Afghanistan?
chocbizkit2001 2 years ago
lol, actually have a read about why we got the bronze star and fuking learn something you fuking tool... please explain, how can an afgan be a Pakistani???????? you must be so fuked up in the head not to realise that they are from different countries.... and when your trying to stir some shit or even try to talk like you know something about whats going on over there, try and actually say new shit, dont just re-word your last post and think your good, cos you just made a dick out of yourself..
MonoChickenFeet 2 years ago
Bullshit you tard they took two years to get control of most of the country not 90%. A pack of pakistani students who fight poorly, are massacred in battle regularly and force the local population to live in fear of a "ruling" that generally results in brutal amputation of a limb or execution in the night of the local villagers. The only reason the Taliban still exist is the leaders can cower in Pakistan and send wave after wave of idiots to die for them.
algardaus 2 years ago
The Australian army are such amateurs who can win over a pack of talibans (students) with an ak47 who have no life or mlitiary experience. The Talibans took over 90% of afghanistan in two weeks back in 2000 yet these so called "special forces" havent gained no grounds at all for years now. SHAME!! LOL
chocbizkit2001 2 years ago
LOL at you mate, sounds like you have no idea.... how about the FACT that in the vietnam war, the aussie SF had a CONFIRMED kill rate of 500 to one, or another FACT that we do just the same amount of missions as the american's, but you dont hear about them cos we actually USE our training and we dont get killed.. or another FACT that since we have been in the Gan, the US gave us a Bronze star cos of how good we are. how about you no your shit before you say it..
MonoChickenFeet 2 years ago
wow chocbizkit i think u should learn a bit about wat where actually doing over there instead of making it up.
zacca417 2 years ago
What you mean to say is that the Taliban can no longer fight as a formed body anymore and no longer control the country. All the taliban can do is launch small scale assaults in empty foothills and blow up innocent afghanis in pointless suicide attacks. But yeah what a few hundred taliban plus few taliban leaders to one Aussie SF soldier, its a real waste that even one Aussie has to die fighting scum that even who you think are your people dont want.
