Shut the fuck up you piece of shit. You irish are like fucking monkeys. If you're looking for murderers, take a look at your cowardly heroes, the IR"A".
Yes, the truth hurts. That's why I'm feeling fine right not. I'll tell you something other that hurts though, getting punched by the next Para you meet, that'll hurt.
Those Cowards called the IRA have killed more civilians than the Paras ever will do. The IRA are not even brave enough to show their own faces, fucking cowards.
@LuciusCorneliusMacro funny that seeing as no ira where involved or indeed got murdered trying to justify gunning down unarmed men and children is rather scummy
Without the IRA the British wouldn't have had to send any soldiers to Norther Ireland, Soldiers that always were tense because the IRA hide behind the women and children when they attack.
Shut the fuck up you little son of a bitch. You're nothing but a pathetic troll, going around on the internet trying to piss people of so that you can get your fix of thinking that you have any power.
You were in that load of cum that your momma should've swallowed.
You come on a PARAs video mug off the paras ? you lot are pathetic, just remember IF a war breaks out where Britian faces the risk of invasion, take time to think, the cowardly IRA are not coming to save you, the british army is.
@WAXY950 how the fuck can you call them that, do you even acknowledge what the paras job is at the end of the day, to protect the country and ultimatlely protect you, fucking prick
The narrator wrongly claimed that "none of them had been to war before". I believe there was at least one exception, Major John Crosland who saw action with the SAS.
I have excellent idea how to leave barracks (for night out etc..) without being spotted.When all officers go home in the evening I would wait and 2 hours longer I would go to night club .Later I would go back to the barracks 2 hours before officers go to work in the morning ..Excellent idea isn't ...
Murdering bastards. Watching the footage of that priest in Derry wave the blood-stained handkerchief at you people while the Irishmen next to him carried a dying Irish child stirs up more emotion than any of you people could conceive of. At least your current Prime Minister had the honour to say sorry. Derek Wilford and the rest should have been imprisoned in 1972. To see people here glorify the murder of innocent Irish people by the Parachute Regiment is repulsive on an ineffable scale.
Dean Vincent Barmby. The name doesn't ring any bells but the face has a familiar ring to it. Let's see, you're that mug who lives at 14 Richard Road Barnsley who drinks cheap beer and collects Nazi memorabilia.

Well, some people try to pick up girls and get called an asshole this never happened to Pablo Picasso. He could walk down your street and girls could not resist his stare so Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Well, the girls would turn the colour of an avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado he could walk down your street and girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole not like you.
There's this different kind of chemical system - 2000 Flushes - keeps the water crystal clear, keeps the bowl sparkling clean continuously for about 4 months. No rings, no streaks, no stains. Just put the container in your tank and forget it! Every time you flush the chlorine crystals dissolve away the rust and minerals before dirt rings and stains appear, and flushing sure beats brushing.
@555GC Well mate, I met [barely] the weight requirement when I attended my army careers adviser interview recently.
I'm short and ridiculously light-weight at 7 and a half stone. before that I was 6 and three quarters, it took me about a week to get to 7 and a half. You probably don't have anything to worry about, they don't come much skinnier than me. ;]
I remember watching this on tv aged 11 & all I wanted to do was join the paras , I failed the medical due to high frequency hearing loss caused by firing blanks on exercise in the cadets ! No ear defenders in those days
I agree with you, the opening statement not at all balanced. I think all the forces put their lives on the line, and that includes the Merchant Navy that supported the operations in the Falklands. I would not take anything from anyone that wears uniform for their country. I know the Paras took a lot of casualties, but the Royal Navy lost 86 men. That's 33% of the KIA.
when this programme came out i was about eleven years old and one time got talking to a couple of guys on the train near Aldershot who were doing the course and they said that actually the training the do is a lot harder the the programme shows.
@MajorKoenig2 Lol! Different approaches I guess, it is their first day after all, you should check out the whole series (This guy's got them all on YT), don't worry they do get pretty tough on them, especially in the episode "Basic Wales," and "P Company."
Watch the whole series though, its really enjoyable, makes me wish I'd gone into something like this.
WHO WRITES THESE STUPID COMMENTS. DICK HEADS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF DUTY OR HONOUR, ALL WITH ONE THING IN COMON. NONE WOULD LAST HALF AN HOUR AT P COMPANY, ALL HAVE PROBABLY BEEN SLAPPED NUMEROUSE TIMES FOR BEING DICKS AND ALL ARE COMPLETE WASTES OF SPACE.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Never ceases to amaze me the superlatives that people like the inbred Prince Charles uses to describe hired killers. Life's losers, fighting for imperialist gain and believing that they're fighting for their country.
@Nautilus1972 You've posted similar sentiments on the Marines. I'm intrigued, why exactly are you spending your time watching footage of these men if you view them as such pitiful, deluded fools?
And anyone wishing to mention terrorism., mark this. Tony Blair and George W, Bush are both war criminals having launched an illegal 'war' against Iraq - a 'war' not sanctioned by the U.N. When anyone else does that they're terrorists, when America or Britain does it it's called 'counter-terrorism'. Hypocrisy, plain and simple.
i love how they be nice to them for the first little while lol and then when they sign and fully join they can shout and be dicks and they cant leave lol
A good friend of mine joined and is in this documentary Steve Birrell he passed his basic training and did a few tours of Northern Ireland, hope he is still doing ok
@phucoff1 No I think the Brit army holds that record, 40,000 civilians in one night in Dresden too name just one of many, no one can kill civilians like the brits when they are on form!
christ if you're going back that long, how about who the head of the Irish church loved and who the Irish Republic supported in WW2, the Nazis with 1.6m at Auschwitz, oh and ref your previous message, i'm not your fuckin mate!
@phucoff1 Lol . Touched a nerve did we, speaking of the Nazis they learnt everything from you! First ones too use Concentration camps? The English in the Boer war, starved thousands to DEATH! SHITHEAD....
@condaly Actually the very first ones (the ones the British got the idea from) were invented by the Spanish during the ten years war, and the USA in the Phillipenes War. Thousands did die in the camps, but not from starvation. disease was the most common. 22 000 British soldiers also died from the same causes.
@Tiwaz81 Fair enough! Regarding US Involvement in Dresden I'm not sure, but the point is it was ordered by a brit" BOMBER HARRIS" it was a deliberate attack on civilians in order too terrorise them, in other words a terrorist attack.
@condaly Hardly. Morally ambigious? yes. Double standards? certainly. War Crime.. possibly, but only the loser is tried for war crimes. Terrorism. Not quite. Terrorists are cowards, masked and do not risk open battle. They snipe, murder then run. Blow up civillians when there is no defence ect ect. Dresden was defended, Ordered by a Brit, yes. Condoned and justifified by the USAF, who actually dropped twice the tonnage of bombs that the Brits.
@Tiwaz81 Should also mention that Churchill was sceptical and the british press critical of the tactics. The British public.. well those that had been bombed themselves probably didnt careless, war tends to harden you like that. It is very easy for us soft and libral youth, whove grown up free and peaceful to condem those thatlived through things far worse than we have ever known..
@Tiwaz81 it was very lightly defended if defended at all, as it was not seen as a target by the Germans. I don't want too get into pedantics but "one mans terrorist" I'm sure you know the rest. As too your assertion about cowardice I don't think you can get more cowardly than dropping bombs on an unsuspecting population from a couple of thousand feet up, at least the IRA gave warnings!
@condaly Cowards? How could anyone label South Armagh IRA men cowards when they regularly had the SAS on their tails? You wouldn't find any of those SAS guys calling their enemies cowards. Other names perhaps, but not cowards. It takes seriosu balls to take on the professionals when you're outmanned and outgunned.
@Nautilus1972 "Cowards? How could anyone label South Armagh IRA men cowards when they regularly had the SAS on their tails?" Biggest lot of shite I've ever heard, come back to the real world, if you lived in the real World you would know the IRA were bomb planting child murdering scum, responsible for the deaths of 1134 civilians, 794 protestants and 340 catholics, all civilians, whereas the British Army are responsible for a low number of 156.
@condaly oops sorry Fire bombing of Dresden. ou said British did it alone and 40 000 casualties. And concentration camps .. which popular anglophobic myth likes to lay at Britains door when in fact they were just using what that had seen in the US and Cuba.
I have just finished selection for the paras. did my mile and a half run at 8:52 minutes. I was kind of pissed off because some other lads joining the other regiments were complaining about 12 minutes and fourteen minutes. start cadre on december. have to wait that long. now thats annoying. I'll spend the months leading up to it by exercising.
bet you get a lot of irish cunts coming here saying shit lol
@glasweiganmark Lol thanks, good luck to you aswell mate, how long is the paras basic?, i think the marines basic was 36 weeks long, i think it was also longer then that in the past.
I find it strange that you can just join the paras without any previous military experience. In order to join jtf2, we have to have 2 years of service prior to applying.
Another interesting thing that I cant seem to wrap my head around is how fit are they?Im in good shape, both mentally and physically, but I just dont fully understand what theyre like.
@yourass117 it's possible things have changed. i'm an american so i have no idea what the british military regulations are, but this IS almost 30 years old!
@yourass117 yea paras are just infantry m8 its just like signing up for the rangers. there just better trained than regular soldiers like jtf2 dont no wat they do but im guessing there special forces in order to get into the british special forces u have to spend over 3 years in the forces
@liamsutcliffe1 So the royal marines are the british naval special forces, the paras are the army special forces, and SAS are the air force ultimate bad-ass special forces?
@yourass117 no the royal marines are just regular infantry aswell only trained in amphibious assaults and the paras are airborne assault and then the best members of the paras and the marines can do selection for the sas
@phucoff1 Yes I am currently serving, and I understand that they are, as Ive said, "the ultimate bad-asses", i just didnt fully understand what theyre like in comparison to the paras, and royal marines.
@yourass117 paras are the army elite infantry regiment, RM commando is the navys elite infantry, they are shock troops designed in WWII to cause mass devastation to air field, factorys and docks behind enemy lines, the SAS is the armys 'special forces', mainly a recce regiment they wernt really designed to go to war, they slip under radars undetected do their business then fuck off out there, highly highly trained
At the end of the day it was your decision to join the branch of the armed forces you did. correct me if I am wrong but if you are 37 when you signed with YT in 07 then you would only have been 12 yrs old when the task force went down south in 82. Many wars are a waste, however you were not conscripted into wearing an armed forces uniform you joined on a volunteer basis & agreed to serve your country. You obviously have issues. Its simple, one joins one goes where one is sent END OF.
like the last guy just said. the only fucking idiots talking about whos better are either sprogs who have done fuck all, or attached ranks, i.e not actually in the paras or marines. (7 para horse artiilery or commando artillery etc) done p company or commando course and now reckon their fucking awesome. the real marines and paras respect each other, and dont tend to go gobbing off on youtube.
Thanks for uploading this. This series was one of the programmes that launched Channel 12 on Singapore TV back in 1984. Another was Pippin. I enjoyed both.
The Paras as a documentary was 10 times better than all the other military 'fly on the wall' documentaries. Probably because it was made by Frank Hilton, with affection and humour, having served with the Regiment himself, and his bringing his insider knowledge to the production, especially the humour!
Whereas "Commando" took itself very seriously!!!!! 2
@Whatever81417 yeah and paras was alot longer than commando, and gave a more in depth look at the training, but i still prefer commando though because marines are better!! xD

It is very easy for us soft and libral youth, whove grown up free and peaceful to condem those thatlived through things far worse than we have ever known..

@Tiwaz81 it was very lightly defended if defended at all, as it was not seen as a target by the Germans. I don't want too get into pedantics but "one mans terrorist" I'm sure you know the rest. As too your assertion about cowardice I don't think you can get more cowardly than dropping bombs on an unsuspecting population from a couple of thousand feet up, at least the IRA gave warnings!

@condaly Cowards? How could anyone label South Armagh IRA men cowards when they regularly had the SAS on their tails? You wouldn't find any of those SAS guys calling their enemies cowards. Other names perhaps, but not cowards. It takes seriosu balls to take on the professionals when you're outmanned and outgunned.

@Nautilus1972 "Cowards? How could anyone label South Armagh IRA men cowards when they regularly had the SAS on their tails?" Biggest lot of shite I've ever heard, come back to the real world, if you lived in the real World you would know the IRA were bomb planting child murdering scum, responsible for the deaths of 1134 civilians, 794 protestants and 340 catholics, all civilians, whereas the British Army are responsible for a low number of 156.

@condaly oops sorry Fire bombing of Dresden. ou said British did it alone and 40 000 casualties. And concentration camps .. which popular anglophobic myth likes to lay at Britains door when in fact they were just using what that had seen in the US and Cuba.

Corporal Slater joined the SAS and was killed by the IRA in 1984. He was in the same troop as Andy McNab of Bravo Two Zero fame.

I remember as a 10 year old kid watching the original documentary when originally broadcast on TV. I'll enjoy watching this...
Thanks

I have just finished selection for the paras. did my mile and a half run at 8:52 minutes. I was kind of pissed off because some other lads joining the other regiments were complaining about 12 minutes and fourteen minutes. start cadre on december. have to wait that long. now thats annoying. I'll spend the months leading up to it by exercising.
bet you get a lot of irish cunts coming here saying shit lol

I find it strange that you can just join the paras without any previous military experience. In order to join jtf2, we have to have 2 years of service prior to applying.
Another interesting thing that I cant seem to wrap my head around is how fit are they?Im in good shape, both mentally and physically, but I just dont fully understand what theyre like.

@yourass117 no the royal marines are just regular infantry aswell only trained in amphibious assaults and the paras are airborne assault and then the best members of the paras and the marines can do selection for the sas

@yourass117 paras are the army elite infantry regiment, RM commando is the navys elite infantry, they are shock troops designed in WWII to cause mass devastation to air field, factorys and docks behind enemy lines, the SAS is the armys 'special forces', mainly a recce regiment they wernt really designed to go to war, they slip under radars undetected do their business then fuck off out there, highly highly trained

At the end of the day it was your decision to join the branch of the armed forces you did. correct me if I am wrong but if you are 37 when you signed with YT in 07 then you would only have been 12 yrs old when the task force went down south in 82. Many wars are a waste, however you were not conscripted into wearing an armed forces uniform you joined on a volunteer basis & agreed to serve your country. You obviously have issues. Its simple, one joins one goes where one is sent END OF.

like the last guy just said. the only fucking idiots talking about whos better are either sprogs who have done fuck all, or attached ranks, i.e not actually in the paras or marines. (7 para horse artiilery or commando artillery etc) done p company or commando course and now reckon their fucking awesome. the real marines and paras respect each other, and dont tend to go gobbing off on youtube.

The Paras as a documentary was 10 times better than all the other military 'fly on the wall' documentaries. Probably because it was made by Frank Hilton, with affection and humour, having served with the Regiment himself, and his bringing his insider knowledge to the production, especially the humour!
Whereas "Commando" took itself very seriously!!!!! 2
