WHAT A LOAD OF SOPPY BOLLOCKS !!! For those in the know this is a classic case of Orwellian double think. For a real speech of TRUE power type this :AMAZING SPEECH BY WAR VETERAN
Your use of the phrase magic sky wizard speaks volumes about your intelligence. That sort of pathetic insult against people you don't agree with belongs in the playground. Also, what does my making a mistake when posting my comment do to invalidate my argument?
@CableW11 Magic sky wizard isn't an insult, that sort of logic and reasoning speaks volumes of your intelligence. Also your entire argument is that those soldiers were not offended by it, if that doesn't invalidate it what does? If you're really that clueless why do you keep talking? Notice you still haven't mastered the reply button by the way, congratulations for trying though.
@haz464 Uh, it is an insult, haz. Why do you keep bringing up the reply button? Running out of meaningful arguments? Assuming of course that you had any in the first place? Secondly, My entire argument isn't just that soldiers weren't offended by it, I simply pointed out that making reference to the religion that has underpinned western civilisation is fine, as valid as quoting Shakespeare or anything else you care to mention, an that only the most petty minded inividual would object.
@CableW11 Uh, it is not an insult CableW, perhaps you should grab a dictionary champ. Running out of arguments? Seriously? I systematically defeated you in argument and now you are evading a proper argument because you are incapable of forming your own and are now projecting. Nice try buddy. Saying that religion has underpinned western civilisation is irrelevant, we are talking about the UK and not the whole world, nor is that relevant anyway since it does not change the fact that God isn't real
@haz464@haz464 Uh yes it is an insult haz, econdly I think you'll find that whilst I have putting forward intelligent and logical arguments, you have just been hurling insults, so where you get the idea that you have consistantly demolished my arguments I can't begin to imagine. As for the 'fact' that God isn't real, well, that's not a fact, is it? We don't know for certain one way or the other, a fact that even Richard Dawkins admit.
@CableW11 Only a petty minded individual would resort to ad hominem attacks and throw the toys out of the pram for losing an argument :P It is clear you don't really know anything and are just arguing for the sake of it, saying we were a religious society for years is irrelevant and fallacious, we didn't allow gay people or women in the British army for years so should we still do that? Anyways, done talking to intellectual inferiors such as yourself, goodbye champ ;)
@CableW11 First, learn how to reply on youtube when speaking to me, not knowing how to press a button speaks volumes of your intelligence. Second, I never said I or the soldiers were offended by him talking about God, I said the speech was better before he mentioned some magic sky wizard and finally perhaps you should try not resorting to personal insults (this also speaks volumes of your intelligence by the way)
You know what haz, I don't think any of the non-christian soldiers were in the least bit offended by the references to Christianity, I think they simply took insiration from an awe-inspiring speech. Also, if you tried listening to the words of the speech rather than turning on your mental blinkers you would see that he didn't use try to use god to justify the invasion
I don't recall saying I'm religious, you're the dissing a moving and inspiring speech just because he makes reference to a belief system you don't happen to share. I would would say that's more akin to throwing your toys out of the pram.
I don't call saying I'm religious, you're the dissing a moving and inspiring speech just because he makes reference to a belief system you don't happen to share. I would would say that's more akin to throwing your toys out of the pram.
@CableW11 not all of those soldiers are christians, also just because we are one of the only countries that have not seperated church and state doesn't mean it's right to invoke god to justify an illegal invasion. Get some perspective
@haz464 What a stupid thing to say. If nothing else, have a little respect for your civilisation's heritage, for God's sake. (As I'm sure you've guessed, the g word was intentional)
good to see english people respectting a northern irish man for a change ...all ya get on youtube is english people saying get rid of northern ireland ....they are so ungreatful our boys are fighting and DIEING along side scottish, welsch and english yet they want rid of us ..over here id say we are more proud to be british than anywere else
@sarahooxo yeah i remember as a kid when at the end of the night, in a nightclub or pictures the national anthem was played and anyone who didnt stand up or messed about during it would be delt with after it had finished
@louthegiantcookie Though I be from the U.S. and though I be part Irish I still offer my full respect to all Irishmen and all service men (and women) wether they be in the U.S. or not! you and all who have served have my full respect! OOHRA!!!!
the point.he didnt puppy talk his men telling them what they wanted to here.told them what they needed to survive.this is done true and very accurate to a military speech out in the field.and what he said was right.the iraqis are the most generous ppl youll ever meet,when theyre not trying to kill you.all in all,this scene gets an a from me.excelent jog branagh.well done.and with the accent and voice change as well.sounds totally different.
every soldier knows what they sign up for.and that there CO,if a decent one,will try to get as many of their men home alive as they can.but a soldier also knows that not everyone will survive a battle.but great speech.wish id been there to see it.instead of getting to the same place years later.it would of been nice to fight with fellow irishmen.stead of americans.i was born in dublin,left when i was 12.but again great speech.he did it right.said the right things and was realistic,straight to

Col Tim Collins was later accused of torture by an American reservist officer. Collins was treated shabbily by his superiors and the accusations were later dropped with help from other American officers who were present at the time when Collins admonised the Reservist . The American has disobeyed a standing order not to give sweets to children for fear of them dying under vehicles.
Tony Blair... that's a man said that, a man who went to war unknowing that his Prime Minister told lies..... but he is a man, as was his foe... unlike you.
Iraq, now, has free elections, including the woman's right to vote. Free press. So many of the rights, taken so for granted in the oh-so-civilized West, rights which even now the common man in the street battles for in Islamic strongman states from Iran to Tunisia.
This is blood, this is sacrifice, this is freedom.
And yet, so many of our own would claim that the first two make the third undesirable.
And so they would, until and unless the freedom fought for were their own.
@KingoftheGods123 Because the UN made the US a signatory to the 1991 cease-fire terms --- and thereby an enforcer of same. Even if you choose to disregard all WMD-related issues, Iraq never adhered to most of the terms and therefore was subject to reinvasion at any time. This was also why the No-Fly Zones and Clinton's "Operation Desert Fox" --- both of which were invasions of Iraq's sovereign territory --- were legal.
@Calbeck Too true. The Iraqi government repeatedly breeched the armistice and as a result it was eventually cancelled and the war recommenced albeit with a 10 year or so hiatus.
Similarly there is an armistice with North Korea the war has not technically finished it is suspended pending the negotiation of a peace treaty. The absence of fighting does not mean that there is peace.
@Calbeck Did you know that the main reason why the US intervened is that sadaam move his stock exchanges from dollar to euro (trading with france and germany) which impacted US petro dollars
@Abdikarimelmi Also Saddam was in contact with the Dragon From Mars, which had infected his mind with a slaver wasp so that the Heterodyne Boys were distracted from uniting Europa under their common flag.
Geez, dude, if you're going to make something up out of thin air? At least put the bong down and try to be entertaining.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fucking British murderers. Another irishman who sold out his own kind to take murderers money and kill innocents. Fucking traitor. I hope the Iraqis get their revenge for the crimes the brits and their american masters done to them.
This was great. I also made something similar titled "Motivational Montage". Just like this terrific piece here, it's meant to inspire. Any feedback or comments are appreciated. Thanks and good work.
@NotQuiteLucid Ya, the terrorists seem to hate having us there quite a bit. I guess we should let them win so that they can get back to all that charity work they were doing before we showed up and made them into terrorists eh?
Terrorists on their own land? How odd. I would say you are the terrorist, for you (Americans) have brought misery and terror into Iraqis, Afghanis, Pakistanis and many other people's hearts. Shame on you!
@LealDilis Hahaha misery and terror as in indoor plumbing and electricity for the first time in history? misery as in no longer fearing a theocratic dictator who would murder them for disagreeing with him? misery as in the ability of them hold free elections and govern themselves for the first time in history? Our boys liberate them at cost of their own blood freely given. To call us terrorists is one of the most ignorant or at least naive things I have ever heard. Wake up there pall.
@JiveTalkinJack You are terrorists AND ignorant as hell. You have no clue whats going on in your government/society. If you did... youd be up in arms. But dont worry... If you are an American you will learn soon the errors of your arrogance when your own people FULLY enslave your stupid ass.
Coming soon... I guarantee you wont miss it cattleman.
Afghanistan was controlled by the Talliban, who removed girls from schools, made women wear tents and beat them if their shoes made too loud a sound when they walked (because it was satanic, according to the Taliban), eliminated music, plays, laughing, et all because these were considered devices of the devil. Watch or read "The Kite Runner". Ignorant leftist like you can learn something. Or read about how artists were treated by your commie buddies under Stalin. You're pathetic!
@nextlevel2burittos No, if the soldiers signed up they already knew they might die. They are willing to take that chance for their country. For their honor.
The Irish are good people, but I am afraid Iraq never asked to be "liberated." At least, not by George Bush and his neoconservative cunts who lied about WMDs.
The speech is taken from the shorthand notes of the Journalist who was there at the time, word for word. And i will take no lessons from the Americans about War, we fought our own to liberate the Falkands from the Argentines. America abstained in the UN and wanted us to negotiate them away once they were occupied. Thank God for the Falkland people and the British Army, Navy & RAF who fought to get them back. Why the hell have we followed the Americans into there wars.
Sixteen Pounds of Swinging Meat, Balls as Big as Pickle Jars and Enough Hair on His Ass to Weave an Indian Blanket, yet He and the majority of the World have been deceived by the exact Monolithic Global Conspiracy which JFK warned of in his famous speech before being murdered by the Satanic CIA. If it is Illumanati, belongs to a Secret Society, a member of the CFR or ever promoted a NWO it is an Evil Satanic Nazi. Wake up, world you got played again by Satanic Nazis posing as humans.
@2WheelEscapeArtist I used to like Branagh to as I believed he was Irish. Now that I found out he's a Brit who just plays Irish charactors ie ' Billy' Col. Tim Collins' etc I just think he's a cunt.
@angels77100 Yeah, I'm not sure how many times he's played an Irish character. Maybe twice including this film? Sorry to hear his country of origin dissapoints you. How then do you feel about him playing an American character? His accent was quite amazing. He's still a fine actor in my book.
@angels77100 In case you're curious, Mr. Branagh was born in Belfast, but his family moved to Reading in England when he was nine to escape "the troubles". He affected an English accent to avoid bullying. There you go, I did the research you neglected to do before you so hastily called him a cunt.
@angels77100 Thank you for clearing that up. But did you know that Branagh is only 5'2 (wearing shoes) and he has to have a platform especially built for him when he's acting around other actors? Tom Cruise (Midget) upon spotting Branagh talking to Noel Edmonds (Another Midget) at a charity event in London, asked him who the big guy was.
He's from Northern Ireland, part of the UK. Didn't you attend school and learn anything? Speaking of cunts, I heard they call you "stinky", as in Stinky Cunt.
Our mission shouldn't have been coalition or to build a better Iraq. Our mission there should have been extermination of the enemy, period. We should have pursued one common goal to annihilate Saddam, his army, and anyone conducting or harboring terrorism. When the jobs finished we should leave the peaceful Iraqis to rebuild there own country in their own way. And if evil should raise its ugly head there again, we'll once again pound it into the dust from which it came.
Clueless and brainwashed. Those directly responsible for the entire 911 Fraud and Iraq War are the same CIA that presented Operation Northwoods to JFK and then later murdered him. Our CIA and corrupt Government have combined to create an illusion even the News Media knows they are paid to manipulate the sheeple to believe the Illumanati bullshit.
Ehh its an ok speech i know its sacred land and all but we still got an enemy to fight so we should not be going less than 100% fighting force. I mean if you had positive ID on usama bin ladan in a moske were not allowed to pursue him or drop a bomb on it because it is a moske. I dont care il go in there anywhay and shot the fucker in the head. (sorry for the miss spelling)
what was the actual speech was there one if so please tell me where i can find it. just cause this one is not real does not mean that he never gave a speech.
maybe you should all stop being petty and appreciate the sacfrifices that any soldier makes from any nation, at the end of the day, they are laying down their lives for what they beleive in. I'm thankful for all the allied soldiers who time on time again go into battle without question to protect our lives and our nations. Well done Col Tim Collins, well done.
@grahamwebb2000 yeh its not the actual speech u fucking moron. to my knowledge there was no cameras filming it, this is acted, the script being that which the journalist present at the actual speech recorded.
@englandforever Nice to see a bit of friendship between two countrymen on the same side. The only moron here is yourself. And yes, cameras were there, I remember seeing it on BBC News24. Maybe it wasn't shown in the bar.
"TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE"? Obviously, it's acted, you twat: it's Kenneth fucking Branagh (an actor). i'm not sure of your agenda, but Col Collins was (is) the last great military leader of our generation, and was treated appallingly by the MOD. so, Graham Webb: fuck off, fucknuts.
@grahamwebb2000 Everyone else had already called you an idiot so i won't reiterate but the actor doing the speech in this is Kenneth Branagh for whom also did a far greater and infinitely more impressive speech in the movie Henry V. Although the speech in this particular video has more importance due to it's relevance today.
@aminnnnnnnful stop being a muppet, these words arent propoganda! its what Lt Col Collins said to his troops on the commencement of the War, words that he believed in and the ethos which he carried out his part of the campaign. The shit really didnt really hit the fan until a fair while after his regiment had left the theatre upon completion of the 'War'
@aminnnnnnnful Whether the British oldiers should have been ther in the first instance is immaterial, we arent talking about the rights and wrongs of the War, we are talking about a speech that a Commanding Officer gave to his troops, a speech in which he told them to respect the Iraqis, to not make them refugees in their own land and to not kill them indescriminately. And that is what his battalion achieved, what occured long afterwards with the Iraq insurgency is a different subject
@aminnnnnnnful Whether I am English or speak English is immaterial, for your information I was a British soldier for 17 years, but I disagreed with the Invasion of Iraq in 2003 and with the way Iraq was 'administrated' after Saddam's fall from power. But that is irrelevant as it took place after Collins' Battalion left Iraq in 2003. I dont consider you my enemy just because you are Iranian yet you consider me an enemy because I am British that says a lot about you!
@aminnnnnnnful your asian and a muslim your far inferior. your stoneage thinking and respect for women makes you not only inferior but a fucking idiot.
@aminnnnnnnful I'm guessing you're not active duty? Because inspirational words from comrades, while thousands of miles away from family, might be enough inspiration to bring someone home safe,or to encourage that extra step, one more breath, one last push - and propaganda is not the thing that will encourage those actions from a soldier. Truth and Honesty is. Truth - "[It's my] intention to bring all of you home alive, but there may be those among us who will not see the end of this campaign."
@SPAMusubiHalau i am iranian ,, i was in special force for 2 years my dad was general in army so i know those stuff but the issue is you encourage who ?> right people or wrong people
british soldier attacked to their country and in politcal since there is some thing about right of goverment or people to do what ever they want in their land and it is not none of your busness or mine but you guys attacked them ,, kill them raped them ,, insult them ,
Just a shame Col. Tim Collins is a tory.

@KingoftheGods123 Because the UN made the US a signatory to the 1991 cease-fire terms --- and thereby an enforcer of same. Even if you choose to disregard all WMD-related issues, Iraq never adhered to most of the terms and therefore was subject to reinvasion at any time. This was also why the No-Fly Zones and Clinton's "Operation Desert Fox" --- both of which were invasions of Iraq's sovereign territory --- were legal.

@Calbeck Too true. The Iraqi government repeatedly breeched the armistice and as a result it was eventually cancelled and the war recommenced albeit with a 10 year or so hiatus.
Similarly there is an armistice with North Korea the war has not technically finished it is suspended pending the negotiation of a peace treaty. The absence of fighting does not mean that there is peace.

Afghanistan was controlled by the Talliban, who removed girls from schools, made women wear tents and beat them if their shoes made too loud a sound when they walked (because it was satanic, according to the Taliban), eliminated music, plays, laughing, et all because these were considered devices of the devil. Watch or read "The Kite Runner". Ignorant leftist like you can learn something. Or read about how artists were treated by your commie buddies under Stalin. You're pathetic!

The Irish are good people, but I am afraid Iraq never asked to be "liberated." At least, not by George Bush and his neoconservative cunts who lied about WMDs.

The speech is taken from the shorthand notes of the Journalist who was there at the time, word for word. And i will take no lessons from the Americans about War, we fought our own to liberate the Falkands from the Argentines. America abstained in the UN and wanted us to negotiate them away once they were occupied. Thank God for the Falkland people and the British Army, Navy & RAF who fought to get them back. Why the hell have we followed the Americans into there wars.

@angels77100 Yeah, I'm not sure how many times he's played an Irish character. Maybe twice including this film? Sorry to hear his country of origin dissapoints you. How then do you feel about him playing an American character? His accent was quite amazing. He's still a fine actor in my book.
2WheelEscapeArtist 9 months ago 3
@angels77100 In case you're curious, Mr. Branagh was born in Belfast, but his family moved to Reading in England when he was nine to escape "the troubles". He affected an English accent to avoid bullying. There you go, I did the research you neglected to do before you so hastily called him a cunt.
2WheelEscapeArtist 9 months ago 4
@angels77100 Thank you for clearing that up. But did you know that Branagh is only 5'2 (wearing shoes) and he has to have a platform especially built for him when he's acting around other actors? Tom Cruise (Midget) upon spotting Branagh talking to Noel Edmonds (Another Midget) at a charity event in London, asked him who the big guy was.

Our mission shouldn't have been coalition or to build a better Iraq. Our mission there should have been extermination of the enemy, period. We should have pursued one common goal to annihilate Saddam, his army, and anyone conducting or harboring terrorism. When the jobs finished we should leave the peaceful Iraqis to rebuild there own country in their own way. And if evil should raise its ugly head there again, we'll once again pound it into the dust from which it came.

Clueless and brainwashed. Those directly responsible for the entire 911 Fraud and Iraq War are the same CIA that presented Operation Northwoods to JFK and then later murdered him. Our CIA and corrupt Government have combined to create an illusion even the News Media knows they are paid to manipulate the sheeple to believe the Illumanati bullshit.

@aminnnnnnnful Whether the British oldiers should have been ther in the first instance is immaterial, we arent talking about the rights and wrongs of the War, we are talking about a speech that a Commanding Officer gave to his troops, a speech in which he told them to respect the Iraqis, to not make them refugees in their own land and to not kill them indescriminately. And that is what his battalion achieved, what occured long afterwards with the Iraq insurgency is a different subject

@aminnnnnnnful Whether I am English or speak English is immaterial, for your information I was a British soldier for 17 years, but I disagreed with the Invasion of Iraq in 2003 and with the way Iraq was 'administrated' after Saddam's fall from power. But that is irrelevant as it took place after Collins' Battalion left Iraq in 2003. I dont consider you my enemy just because you are Iranian yet you consider me an enemy because I am British that says a lot about you!

Truth and Honesty is. Truth - "[It's my] intention to bring all of you home alive, but there may be those among us who will not see the end of this campaign."
