Heard about this video from Patrick Hennessey's book, The Junior Officers' Reading Club. Phenomenal memoir, defending Al Amarah sounded terrifying and amazing. Great video, and read that book, it's brilliant.
The book is a great read. I think it shows people that there is a different story going on that what we see on tv. Its sad we send soldiers to fight wars as peacekeepers. The Coalition forces had so many restrictions while the OMS had no rules. Its a wonder that there were not a lot more deaths in Al Amarah. Thanks to those that serve and keep us free! Thank you for writing the book!
yeah i have the book,it is a class book.it took balls to operate in that enviroment and surrounded.it aint a nice feeling.fair play to youse lads,ya's got the job done!
Sniper One is the british Lone Survivor.They are both incredible reads.I must admit that I didn't think Britain was doing much in Iraq until I read this book.I very wrong.
From South Africa here and I bought the book on my way to Edinburgh for a wedding of a mate of myne in the intellegence corps. Fucking awsome book and my hats of to these brave men and a salute to al you british soldiers, keep up the good work!!
Guyz think!! Sniper One Magic me too, but get ,,buy Lcpl Beharry VC book on his war, you will feel every movement of a warrior in Motion from the Hard Breaks to the noise of small fire on its Hull, to the shudder of being Hit by Rpgs, experience the Fear of a warrior down, and Petrol bombs about to spoil your day, Buy Beharry VC see what it takes to be a Soldier in 2001
100 % a Soldier s Life, Salute Danny and, Baz gaz Buzz etc, and of course Tigris as she pisses in the pool,, all of you guyzs MAGIC, another good read Warrior, by Tam Henderson,,,,,,,, on what Really our Fucked up MoD is like,, UK Govt esp the arse wipers in MoD are like,, Wankers, even as I type this, a Special type Spook, ( I cannot believe he gets out of a Car Info to the Cameras, WTF ?? Nail the bastaerd then 87% Of the Govt for being Dickheads
i got this book earlier this week thinking it wasnt going to be too interesting, but since monday, i have not put it down, its amazing what they do. Its a must read!
I have found Sniper One in a hotel in Thailand a few days ago whilst on holiday, I rarely read but I can't stop reading what PWRR went through over there. I just want to say how very proud I am of the guys who fought for their lives over there
Book is excellent and written with respect to all that served there. Very, Very proud of all the guys and girls serving in these exteme places. Always in our thoughts.
Great to see some video and put the book in proper context. I though Iraq was all American soldiers being pussies until I started reading Sniper One. Good to see the Brittish guys still fights a proper war and dont act around like scared girls... Keep it up lads!
Not calling you a liar but if you're really a 27 year old German that seems unlikely to me!
Still just reading Sniper One as well and it's amazing how little we know of what actually goes on over there and what our troops have to deal with every day. Still that's the British army, totally professional and balls of steel! Good video!
Yeah, it's good to see that Private Beharry got the rewards he deserved as well! I just googled him to find out what happened to him (I haven't finished Sniper 1 yet) and saw that not only was he awarded the VC he's now a millionaire from his book deal! Might get that one next...
But now I've seen you post the same on all these videos I think you're probably not making it up (maybe your age though?) so thank him for us will ya?!
The Forces need to put lots more effort in!. Its humiliating for the british public with our army not being capable of winning a desisive victory against a third world rusty guns and sandles platoon in afgan! Our Boys have the best technology and the help of Nato forces and still no desisive victory!. It can not get any more humiliating & discracefull than thay now can it?

"The Best Army In The World"...What a TOTAL JOKE!!!
have been a pads brat all my life (24 now) tried 3 times to get in kept getting fucked off because of having bad ears, love real war fighting books sniper one was the dogs, would love to go on the piss with some of the boys mentioned in it, well played PWRR.
the book is the best ive ever read, its so funny aswell at times, like when the blind mortar goes in to the CO's ( ithink its him) bedroom after he was like, no, no it didnt land in the compound
This book was absolutly nothing less than F#*king brilliant. i could not put the bloody thing down, i found myself in traffic at the lights, waking in the night and locking myself in the store room at work readin it. It was an amazing read of a first hand experience of something that has touched so many lifes around the world. The only disapointing this about it was that it had an ending ..
Love it when the POMS give a bit of stiff uper lip!!!
Shit,so the book was based on actual events!? Only joking,book was amazing...Every last one of you guys is a hero.Well done,you done the nation proud.Safe journey home.
read the book its 1 of the best iv ever read. shame you guys all split up in the end. you were all the best in the buisness from what sgt mills was saying. well done guys
Sniper one is the best book i have ever read. it reaally inspired me to sign up to the army and become a sniper when i'm old enough. (i'm only 14) these boys have every bit of my respect and i wish i could be as brave and as truley amazing as the gguys in PWRR.
another good book to read is 'Eight Lives Down' by Major Chris Hunter. the book is based around the same time as 'Sniper one' and contains my faveourite and most respected soldier, Pvt Beharry (VC) who was also mentioned in 'Sniper one'
sniper one is the best book ive ever read, and im only 16. i wanted to join the army before i read it but i want to join it even more and be in a sniper company:) lots of thinking to do.
Just read this book on hols total respect and admiration for all you guys fighting out there, you've got more bottle than I would ever have,take care and come home safe!
always wanted to become a sniper myself, been a huge fan of shootin as a child and growing up, wanna put myself to the test, after years of consideration dans book and account of his experiance has really made my mind up, simply wantin to get into the action no longer seems a stupid reason! books been read twice...fuck me im gonna take a big pay cut...but a few years down the line i hope i get my turn...anyone not read sniper one? fuckin get it now! nice one, felt part of the familt 4 sure
I'm with everyone here; Sgt Mill's book is amazing, it's SO well written and you really learn what it's like out there, and get to know how Dan's men (and superiors) were really like.
read the book in 2 days absolutely awesome read.lots of respect to are lads they do us proud.they should show more footage of our lads doing what they are trained for on the news so people can see how good they are.the youth of today dont know how easy they got it winging about having to get up in the morning to go and cash thier giros.
just read sniper one as well, my missus takes the p*ss out of me for how long it takes to read a book... finished this in a couple of days, could hardley put it down.
Go on lads also i would recommend Sniper One its the best miliatary book ive ever read Beharry ftw a true british Soldier and well deserving of the vitoria cross
i`ve never been one for reading books but i got the sgt dan mills Sniper One book a few days ago and already over half way through it,the book is amazing with great detail of what these men had to endure for our country and its great to see the guys in action in the vids here,like louvs2spooge says "balls like watermellons" i couldnt agree more! these men are true heroes,i take my hat of to them - RESPECT
im reading the book second time round now. i have a huge amount of respect for the men and women fighting out there not just for the British but all the allied soldiers. Only 4 more years till i sign up.
WOW, just fineshed the book. An eye opener make no mistake. This just increased my evergrowing repect and gratitude to the British troops. Thanks for this vid and the book, keep ya heads down
just read sniper 1 just want to say thankyou for risking your life so i can live mine you might not think you much surpport back home but you have mine 200% thanks again :)
iv have just finished reading sniper one and i just want to show my respet to you lads out there and you served your country well i respect you all for sticking it out there when you were truely in the shit!
I have read Sniper One you boys are fucking hard bastards taking all dat fire off the OMS and you never gave in. you kick arse out there lads i respect ur bravery and courage
its not american its the lost prophets who are welsh. just thought id say. good job lads keep up the good work and ive just finished my phase two so i got the joys of possibly being sent out there and your all an inspiration
