Great video, terrible music.

[herelies]

this would be a great video IF THERE WAS NO SOUND

[StoneBoneAndFire]

Great music, just as interesting as the video, good work, top marks, well done, bravo, chin chin, hurrah and huzzah, three cheers, hip hip horay, congratulations, jubilation, pat self on back, you must be proud, smug smile, anyone who doesn't like the music is a frightful bore and a dirty rotter.

Incredible document. The music is powerful and dramatic; perfect for these images.

[Hudson1910]

wow

It's videos like this that should be shown to people who think being a soldier is about being the brave man or woman in the crisp uniform. It's an honour to serve your country, but it isn't always about crisp uniforms, marching, and becoming a hero. Real heroes aren't always beautiful and 6 foot 4. Sometimes, they're missing body parts, and have damages beyond belief. These men are what being brave means: Sacrificing EVERYTHING, not only your rights.

Espèce de pourriture!
