  • British Troops Rock

    I'm glad the United States has allies like you. You do your jobs like no other. Screw all of these activist F*gs that don't have anything good to say about the men and women that lay down their lives so they can sit at home and criticize. If it were left up to them to defend England their posts on this site would be written in German. British troops rock! Keep up the good work!

    • How long?

      How long are you both in Iraq? Lots of years. Nothing changed. Only that US, Brits and Iraqi families cry their dears dead. Blair left and brits left. Now Bush leave and US will Leave. AT LAST!!!

    • brits are the only allies i'd want in a ...

      i HATE multilateral wars. We put our american troops at the will of somebody like pakistan or something, and we get killed. I either want only americans fighting, or americans and brits fighting together. I dont trust ANY other country to help us out and do their part.

      What im trying to say, is that if i were an american soldier, i would either want to go to war alone, or with england. Screw the UN. Screw multilateralism. Join up with Eng, and get the job done together. Americans and Brittish are the only ones who can fight worth S**t , and fight with any honor. Send everyone else home.

    • The only problem is

      that the US KILLS ALL THE BRITISH TROOPS in FRIENDLY FIRE. And the Brits hate the war. They are pulling their army out of Afganisthan and Iraq the next year. They haev already left their HQ in AFganisthan.

    As an Englishman it makes me proud to see our boys and girls doing the best that any army can do. In 10 years when the dust has settled will the Iraqi people appreciate what we have done for them? probably not ungrateful bas***ds

    • british army our nations pride!

      well said muslimkiller!the us-uk modern day crusade will prevail,the sooner the muslim terror cheifs realise that the brits are masters of this type of warfare(25 years of training against the ira) the sooner they can get back to wiping ther asses with their hands and living in their dirty hovels.it will take time,look at germany,uk-us co-operation,it took time but look at it now!as for for the imigrant problem thats a whole nother battle.but we live in hope!

    • Well...

      Being american, i wouldnt quite say the "best" ;)..... But certainly #2. I would imagine that the quality of your soldiers is similar to ours, but the size of your country limits your peak power.

      By rossimo159 1165795980
    • no offence

      no offence, i completely appreciate what you are saying and, yes, you are bound to say that you are the best. In terms of available fire power and technology and weight of numbers, i would have to agree. But, in return, you would have to acknowledge that, pound for pound, the sheer professionalism and fighting spirit of the british soldier is virtually unrivalled. We have to because we do not have the massive resources of other countries. Falklands - need i say more.
      Okay, okay - we got a bit of a spanking navy wise from Argentine air power but the troops got the job done in proper style.

    dont forget the Auzzies. They are the only ones that have been with us in every war this century - they expended so much of their military during WWII that if it wernt for a couple of navel battles they would be speaking japanese...

    and they are still by us in iraq, even when so many others pulled out

  • proud to be British

    i would like to thank the guy who posted this video, if i based my opinion on the videos and comment on this site i would not have even realised the British army did there part in the middle east. once again the americans took all the credit. i am however glad to see at least one american who appreciates and reconises the excellence and bravery of are armed forces. i respect all these british men and hope many other do also. remember be proud to be British!

    By mike4567 1158532066
    • "americans took all the credit"...

      Well, you guys certainly helped, and we greatly appreciate having at least ONE competent ally, but the numbers show that we DO deserve the credit

      Forces deployed in 2003 and in 10/06:
      America - 250,000... 145,000.
      Brittish - 45,000.... 7,200.

      The numbers show that we took the grunt of it all, just as in WWII, where we had u of the forces in the Euro front, as well as nearly 100% of the forces in the Jap front.

      this is not to downplay the usefullness and abilities of the Brit Army, but instead to make sure it is known who is doing the fighting over there percentage wise.

      By rossimo159 1165796646
    • at least we dont shoot our side!?!

      oh my god you think you deserve the credit but most american soldiers kill more of thier friends than they do iraqis!

      By cadetpwrrholmes 1170078233
    • Ummm no

      cadet. Before you start making comments like that try education... Frendly fire happens in every conflict but to say US kills more allies than enemy? Lol..your definately not a soldier..

    • welsh

      There have been comment thanking the english and fook the rest...( Rossimo ) Well i would just like to say that the welsh have battle hard alongside the English and i believe this is a welsh unit in the video.... Just for the record most of my freind are English but UK is not England. The welsh have been there in the front line for hundreds of yrs, fighting for Wales Englan/Scotland/UK. O yes Rossimo who care's about percentage and numbers people are getting killed m8y ??? Dont like talk about numbers lost a freind over there : (

      By R@sperdan 1167864653
    • lol

      We appreciate the welsh's help. We always appreciate anyone's help who does more good than harm. And isnt an arab.

      As for the dumb bastard who said we killed more of our own than our enemies.... come on man. Yes, there are friendly fire incedents, but seriously... Do the f'ing math. 100-200 thousand of them, 3 thousand of us. I realize that it was an exageration to say that we kill more americans than iraqis, but come on man.... just STFU....

      HOWEVER, if you would like to buy us the new friendly position network that we're working on developing, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in the cost. Oh wait, i forgot. One of our weapons systems would bankrupt your entire defense budget. Thanks for your input though....

  • In reply

    Trig 75 i wont waste time responding to you, but green jacket i know where your coming from and i myself honour the fallen and have done so since an early age.
    Its not about the soldiers that i am talking,its about how they are used.(and wasted)
    My comments were aimed at the tossers who come to sites like this and think they are talking about some football match.
    I used to believe that when a decision to go to war was made it was done only as a last resort, but we live and learn.
    And now i have to admit i do sound like one of those people i myself hated when i was in the forces.
    I just get pissed off when you see someone like bush saying bring it on, like he`s in some clint eastwood film, and in reality someone like private rayment pays with his life.
    Yes i could have written a letter to blair, i dont think that he would have read it.
    But i take your point about this being the wrong forum and i guess you`r right.
    So i would like to apologise to anyone i have offended with my comments on this page

    By hugh-janus 1151598149
    • Americans agree that war is a last resor...

      We fooled around for YEARS putting off going to war. They bombed our naval vessels (uss cole), they bombed our trade centers in the early nineties. They bombed our embassies. They took hostages from those embasies. They declared war on us long before we did a thing. All of this, and we still didnt go to war. We didnt know who to fight! But when they flew those planes into our towers, and killed over 2000 people, that was it. That WAS the last straw. Even then, it wasnt untill 2003 that we did anything!! The japs pulled that S**t on us in 41 and war was declared that day, without approval of congress! It took us a year and 5 gazillion debates to decide to go at it this time!

      I think you are dead wrong about us being so "clint eastwood" (and its john wayne anyway, dumbass) about going to war. We dont like to do it, but we've got alot of enemies in this world, and the best military the world has ever seen to fight them with. You attack us so blatantly and sucessfully, and it IS "bring it on".

      And guess what, we brought it. We conquered a nation on the otherside of the world in 28 days. What other nation could do that?

      You could have written a letter, saying that johnny ray might pay with his life, but did you ever ask johnny ray if he was willing to pay that price? If the answer wasnt "yes", than he shouldnt have been in the military. Our soldiers fight and RISK THEIR LIVES EVERY DAY so that YOU can sit there on your ass and whine, in complete safety. You dont worry about getting bombed in your own home. There are no tanks rolling toward you city right now. No foreign country is about to annex your land. That is becuase of the sacrifice that those soldiers SIGNED UP FOR!

      If you dont want johnny ray to die, which none of us do, then instead of trying to figure out how to get him out of war, figure out how to help him get through it, so that he comes out alive AND we get the security of victory.

      Until then, go pour yourself a nice cup of SHUT THE F*CK UP.

  • false pride

    These comments about how we`re the best soldiers etc is just mindless drivel.
    Do some people think that they are physically superior in some way, is it the tactics or the weaponary, what?,
    Is it because we`re british ?.
    These are things that are told to soldiers on all sides to raise some esprit decore and belief in the men and the machines around them.
    This is why children aged 16 are ideal candidates for the military, they will believe anything and there minds can easily be manipulated.
    I was in the forces and believed all that crap at the time, but now i can see it for what it is.
    Private Rayment went and paid the ultimate price for what ?
    Do the politicians send their children into these conflicts.
    No they will put a well rehearsed face on for the cameras and give the" greatly saddened by this news" speech, and forget in an instant the lives they have wasted.
    Their only real concern, the ratings in the polls and for some their place in history.

    By hugh-janus 1150304927
    • I think....

      It's irrelevant wether or not politicians send their children to war, I don't really see your point there, the boys who put this video together are proud of their achievements even if it is distasteful to you, I am very proud of our boys and girls who are serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else they are being sent by our government. Private Rayment went to Iraq because he was a soldier, trained for war... at least that's why I think you spend countless hours digging in on Salisbury Plain and tabbing 40k over the Brecon Beacons, Private Rayment went to Iraq because his Regiment went and it seems from other posts he was well liked and served with distinction, as for paying the ultimate price.... he died in War, that's what soldiers do, as someone who claims to be ex forces I am astonished you don't regognise that fact. As for Private Rayment, I never knew him at all, but tonight when I'm having a glass of wine with my Dinner, I'll raise my glass to him and every other soul who has come back with a Union draped coffin and thank them for the selfless sacrifice thay have given. As for you.... if you don't like the British Government then don't use a tribute video as a podium to your dummy throwing, send Tony Blair a letter, you have that right, you have the means, you have a voice, let others have theirs.

    • the best...

      the best is determined by the inner drive of the individual soldier and their personal disciplin.

      The rest of it comes from their training.

      After that, their country backs them up the rest of the way. America has the best military becuase we have good individuals who are highly disciplined, and supported by vast amounts of advanced technology and equipment.

      AKA, we spend the most money on them.....

    This makes me so proud to say im bristish, dont see yanks doing this do u, they try to intimidate others, it took a team of 9 soldiers to hold a place for so long, without backing away. i served in the pwrr knowing "Ray" he will surely be missed but never forgot.

There was around 30 of us there, and about 3000 iraqis trying to over throw us at both cimic and pink palace. God watch over 1 PWRR who are now back in Iraq as im typing this, god bless ray, cheers

    Why is it that you only ever see bad things about the army in the press and on the news, but when a video like this one is made it just goes to show how much respect the soldiers should get. With all the contacts that 1PWRR had it just shows how well trained they are, and they should be very proud to serve the country.

  • about the vid

    i do believe that this vid is about the soldiers not about the politics and the reasons of war. british soldiers are some of the best fighters in the world since medieval times, (i live in britain but aint british) their commanding officers and generals however are much more known to make blunders/bad tactics or have stupid reasons for war.

  • The Very Best

    The British Army, Navy, air force and Special Forces. The very best fighting force in the world. The best in War, Peace, Life and Death.
    Ordinary men and women who do extraordinary things for the good of everyone and never thanked for it. Terrorists are scum who know that if they come out and fight like a man, then these fine people will show them the door to the place they belong, HELL and I hope they're playing Elton John's I was made in England 24/7 there!
    And to madjesus, F**k YOU TOO! Your a sad faceless twisted wanker. The Nazi's were the same as the Muslim terrorists. Muslims want the whole world to be muslim and those that aren't are infidels who should be killed. Tell me that's not ethnic cleansing an idea enjoyed by one Adolf Hitler. The British wish peace and free will on all, but you are a T**t and can burn in hell. ps enjoy the music!

      the truth is really hard to come by lately.i would go so far to say it doesnt exist in any country, no matter what you think your fighting or not fighting for.so why dont we all grow up and face the facts.wars are created by men who want more than god has planned for them.like thse oil greedy presidents and those people who alter nature to build great resorts and declare war in the names of gods who havent done one F**king thing for them since the bible days.

  • LAPDOGS OF THE US

    That is the truth, even your own politicians admit this pathetic truth. The British military and government is embarassingly SERVILE to the US. You guys are being used by the US government. How sad.

    Don't try to make heroes out of a military force that is not only embarrassingly SERVILE to the US but has joined them in an illegal occupation.
