Our War: Ambushed

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

Chronicling the exploits of the British 1st Battalion Royal Anglian 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 the 1st Battalion Royal Anglian, the International Security Assistance Force, and those who did not make it home.

No worries man. If people get offended here, they shouldn't comment. But I do appreciate your comment (all of them), and if you're an EMT, you know what the heck is going on in this video better than I do. Sounds like you've dealt with it. I imagine you've had some bad days and a lot of people won't understand what it's like to be the first one there on a bad scene.

In response to your chauvinistic support for fellow Sand Nigger-murderers - yeah.

Rose looks like Gareth Southgate.

I respect al soldier, I don't care where they're from.

I want to sign up up next year. Do you have any tips?

Greetings from Holland.

Did you really put a racist comment in response to my support of the Britts? What kind of racist POS does that....

[ABATHlNGAPE]

I copied and pasted that headline verbatim.

You can read about the same gruesome story in more detail here:

My apologies to those who bravely volunteer to violently murder impoverished, innocent, brown, Muslims for: pay, medals, war stories, macabre trophies and U.S. hegemony.

[JasonB EMT]

I'm sorry I offended you, and I have revised my postings.

Please reserve your judgement, because no one obsesses over events that happen more than people who've been in combat, or have cared for friends who are critical casualties.

There is always that feeling in the back of your mind that you could have done better, and if you did everything would still be ok. Everyone has emotional scars they have to live with, always remember what happened, but it's okay to let it go.
