Bards Of War Fighting Is Everything
Bards of War: Fighting is everything documents Operation Mountain Thrust in July 2006 of the Afghanistan Global War on Terror (GWOT). The film was part of Scott Kesterson's 15-month embed with the Embedded Tactical Trainers deployed to train and equip the Afghan National Army. Kesterson filmed, directed, edited and produced Bards of War: Fighting is Everything himself. Kesterson was the first citizen journalist to embed in the Department of Defense embed program. During his 15-month embed Kesterson published over 120 blog articles, 35 video stories and over 20 audio interviews. He was awarded an Emmy for best photography after his return in 2007. The mission Kesterson set out to do was tell the soldier's story. This film is part of that vision.

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” ~Matthew 7:13-14
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we must trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.”

May God Bless & Keep us !! 🙏✝️🇺🇸👊🕊
U.S.A here love how the Canadians talk and they are true warriors!! THANK YOU SOLDIERS
I did 2 tours of Afghanistan, both in Helmand province, my first stint I was also partnered with the Afghan Security Forces in Nad E Ali and my second stint I was in an elite unit that did Brigade level strikes and Reconnaissance partnered with the Afghan Special Forces.. I saw Americans of course but I also saw Canadians, Australians, and more, I couldn't help but think how strange it was to have so many commonwealth troops in one place! So many royal subjects from across the globe fighting together again.. It reminded me of Crete during the 2nd World War.. History just repeats and ties us together.
McCarthy is Out!

Thank you, Scott!
This was most excellent work. Cameraman was brave as hell too.
There more with us than with them. God bless Thank you for sharing Scott.
watching from UAE
All that we know now, this film gives me such mixed emotions. Anger that so many fought and died on both "sides" for the war machine. But so touched and proud by the courage of our neighbors to the north on the willingness to sacrifice for a just cause.
Click the thumbs up guys! ❤
Good evening everyone 🎉

The way of the wicked shall perish Ps 1:6
Hey Scott! Happy New Year! The Bible does claim that: God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen 1:1). He created the firmament to separate the waters from water…separate the water from the heaven and the earth (Gen 1:6-7). God said, “Let there be light…let these light shine down on earth.” (Gen 1:14-15) The world stands firm and cannot be shaken (psalm 93:1) He set the earth on its foundation; it can never be moved (Psalm 104:5) …let all the ends of the earth fear Him (Psalm 67:7) He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth (not a sphere)…He stretches out the heaven like a canopy and spreads them out like a tent to live in(Isaiah 40:22) The earth is firmly established. It cannot be moved (1 Chronicles 156:30) The earth takes the shape like clay under a seal; it’s features stand out like those of a garment (Job 38:14) For He views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens (Job 28:24)
Those ana are useless!
What and who for did you kill all these innocent people? For sure you guys don't\ didn’t' know our language and culture! 53:15 The innocent guy who was deliberately shot was unarmed, he had his tool for cutting grass which is called LOOR or ARA in Pashto which is only for cutting grass. this is the real face of your humanity. shame on you!
What a waste. Dying for capitalism.

By the way, the war was a waste, not the soldiers. Dying for capitalism is never a good idea.

@@linmikwoodworks3019 If you said the soldiers were wastes, we'd be throwing hands today downtown lmao. I caught a knife to the face on mary st in 2016, I'm not new to it The war wasn't for "capitalism", our country was asked by the Afghanistan government to come install infrastructure, like roads and phone lines, which we did. It was a completely different war for our soldiers, we were there to help, and the Americans were not. Just happens that us being there required some military presence fyi "Waste" is up there with "Goof" now, appreciate the clarification pal.
Listen I love the forces that represented the true Canadian warriors in Afghanistan. I served in ACO 1-17 INF 5TH Stryker Brigade Combat Team (Counter Guerilla). The area that these guys are dealing with is the very same that my unit would inherit when we came to the fight. We took our first posting when we took our base in FOB FRONTENAC. Listen, any Canadian knows there really is not a more Canadian name for something than that. The FOB was a Canadian base forever but I want to say this. We inherited that vase and the area from a French Canadian unit. They were absolutely shameful and honestly blurred the line between coward and traitors. They simply were manning a vacation spot and had an agreement with the Taliban that they would not leave the write and they did not make waves for them and in return they would depend on their word to not attack them. So not only that they were arrogant and entitled they simply seemed to love to show their superiority and control over the FOB didn't take part in any operation to do the hand off or teach us about this area and also they demanded we not be near them. They banned us from even eating in their plywood hut of a chow hall and left the FOB when they left their intelligence in French and simply ran off. They are not these warriors. I have battled in Argandab, Sha Wali Kot, and every area you would all know. Wounded twice in two IED strikes. My brigade lost 38 of our men. So not all who served are warriors but I love you all who did the work of the warrior and made it an easier route for us when you arrived. Much love.
