Our War: The Invisible Enemy

As a former U.S. Marine currently serving in the U.S. Army, I found this doc to be an eye opener.

Chronicling the exploits of the Grenadier Guards, 1st Royal Irish, and the infamous Coldstream Guards as captured by the Soldiers themselves, the footage shot by these men was only recently declassified by the MoD. It has since been compiled to tell their story via a BBC documentary series titled "Our War".

Watch. Reel. Learn. Dedicated to us, the International Security Assistance Force, and those who did not make it home.

Why are you, being cales USMCG0811, im asuming US Marine Core putting up a British forces documentary.

[USMCG0811]

@Mudmonster77

What? Anyone else have any idea as to what this guy just said?

[BloodandGore4evah]

@USMCG0811 He is astounded, by the fact that any guys from a different nationality would upload a video not about their own forces.

[USMCG0811]

@BloodandGore4evah

Brothers in Arms. Top tier soldiering. Nuff said.

War is not a fuckin' video game nor is it a Hollywood movie. Fun? I think it's time you reassess your level of maturity, pal. Attitudes such as yours only place others in jeopardy and get people killed. Honestly though, I've seen people like you while deployed. They talk like that, give the impression that they're hard, then end up being the ones pissing themselves under fire and unable to move. Stick with CoD or whatever you pass your time with.

@L0stmusic

Grow up, mate. There is nothing honorable about dying in combat. Once you're dead you're dead, that's it.

thanks for uploading this.

[cmerr23]

great video, i support all our soldiers who serve for their countries!

[FishingLurePro]

@USMCG0811 Tell that to the thousand's of soldiers who have given their lives for your freedom that they are not honorable. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that

[Bisonrulz16]

It's the moments in films like this that make me want to join, but it's the heartbreak that ensues a mate dying that makes me not want to... My heart goes out to the guys who are still out there.

@Mudmonster77 what a fool

[Emil652]

Imagine being the fucking camera man for these guys!

[1950Viper]

As a American veteran of Veitnam your battles are the same in many ways. An elusive enemy and a foe that holds no land has no flag and no front line. My heart goes out to all the British soldiers one and all good will and may god bless and keep your ammo dry.

[ChrisDasSlasher]

You guys at BBC are good people. The only way Americans can see truth is through BBC. May God bless BBC & the Queen.

Chris from Amerika.

War is the highest glory of government.
