[nzniggy]

Great Video, it reminds me of my AO. Reminds me of my time.

Thanks.

[MrMonkeygorilla]

[Scouting4noobs]

This is really excellent mate, I was smiling the whole way through

[RKarshenas]

What do you think is going to happen as a result of this war effort? Or is just up in the air?

[simplygarnett]

haha the cat

[omadbaba]

This was in which year?

[AgentNick42]

Afghani kids look like some of the coolest little kids.

It really is good to see the lighter side of the whole affair. I'd personally rather see more of these clips than more of the eternal FLIR footage and news stories about death and destruction.

Basically I think it's worth seeing what most of your time over there is spent on as well as the combat footage.

Nice job and keep them coming!

[PetrolClock]

another great one

[Dervatt]

Ay, Shawn. Haven't you thought of putting all the bits together and making something bigger out ouf the Afghan footage you've brought?

[HistoricThirdWard]

@Dervatt I will at some point, but my focus is on gaining success from my ability to write and direct films. This Afghan footage was my personal memories of my time in Afghanistan. At that time, Youtube and MySpace was just being developed. I had no idea when I shot this that I could share it for free on the internet. Amazing how evolution and a free market economy works...

Thanks for watching!!!

@HistoricThirdWard what were the ANA like?

[HistoricThirdWard]

@walkertexasranger33 Good soliders.  Just needed the right leadership. I did my best to lead and teach them...

[MrToXiC090]

Were you just a tourist or were u a type of soldier photographer guy.. Im kinda confused you guys look like soldiers for what you wear with the camo and what not.

Anyways if you still remember me i'm Zach, havent paintballed in forever, i'll have to get out sometime before i go into the air force and play some games.

[PetrolClock]

@MrToXiC090 he was a soldier

[TheSafetysoff]

@MrToXiC090 ..He's Special Forces, and he's doing a damn good job. You know the movie A -TEAM? He's in a' A TEAM..God bless the men and women in uniform.

[EuroS50]

Damn this series you've put out over the years Shawn.. It's making me want to go back in.... know anyone over at 20th?

[HistoricThirdWard]

@EuroS50 Haha...I watched guys get back in just to go on my tour and get right back out and wonder what the fuck were they thinking. And that was 20th.

Honestly, I think the Afghan Video Diary is going to purge the fucktards out of the army. Cause they don't have footage like this. No one is going to want to watch them playing HALO.

[EuroS50]

@HistoricThirdWard That bad now eh? Funny, you're not the only person who has said these things... never thought it was really THAT bad.

[HistoricThirdWard]

@gun561 People are just people. Some people are assholes, but they claim religion or ethnicity to try and justify their obvious actions of being an asshole.

[SuperRobot7]

Great vid. You going back there?

[HistoricThirdWard]

@SuperRobot7 Thanks for watching. As a tourist. Got some scripts I am working on for films to shoot there.

[SuperRobot7]

@HistoricThirdWard

Very cool. Are you going back to Mazar and the rest of that area?

[theRealSamH3LL]

Awesome video. ty for sharing this. ty for your service for our country.

[HistoricThirdWard]

@theRealSamH3LL Thanks for watching!!!

[thecyberpunk]

Man I remember those faces, those kids always seemed to be able to look tired and glad at the same time.

[HistoricThirdWard]

@thecyberpunk Those kids will never forget us...Thanks for watching!!!!

[Blueman216]

Knowing that you'd go through all the bull, would you do it all over again?

[HistoricThirdWard]

@Blueman216 I would know who to watch out for. Sure I would. I'm not a quitter. I just happen to have a natural tendency to piss people off. I'm a doer instead of a talker. Talkers don't like doers who make them look bad. I make most talkers look really bad. Thanks for watching!!!

[Atamv]

I find this video to be very heart-warming. To see the Afghan troops co-operate with you guys and with a smile while they do it. And you show a more human aspect of the sad conflict that hopefully will bring about a better Afghanistan.

Keep up the good work mate and thanks for the upload!
