My grandpa served in the RAF during WWII. He would say "They won't believe our stories when we tell them, so we chose to stay quiet about it. Just be happy we fought so you won't have to see what we saw." He also sat me down when I was a kid to have a talk about not being angry at Germans. He stated that most of them only did what they had to or their families would pay for it. He had no hate for Germans, Italians or Japanese. He did dislike US americans claming they ended the war or south americans protecting runaway naz1s. He had seen enough hate to not hate anyone but instead try to find something to respect. The sad part is that now most of them are gone and the younger gen. won't understand the fear we saw in their eyes when someone talked about war.

Fun fact! My step dad actually survived a land mine. He was serving some years ago when he stepped on a land mine, and what makes me cry of happiness is that he got all his mates and everyone on his team in safety and then he stepped of and it exploded. He luckily aurvived, but he has burn marks all over him, and a robot thing beside his heart that keeps the heart beating

Hi, I just found your channel, KZread recommended it for some reason. I'm Norwegian, never been in the Army. My Great Grandfather was a Commander in the Norwegian Navy during Germany's invasion in WW2. His ship got hit by a torpedo and he hid in the chimney for 24 hours when the German soldiers went through the ship. He threw his uniform in the water and managed to convince them he was dead. I wouldn't been born, if he didn't survive, so although I haven't been there myself, I have great respect for people that risk their lives for peace. Thank you for your service!

I'm watching this a little late because your 3rd video came out and I needed to catch up. When it comes to doing the briefing for families, I've had to do it to an extent based on my job in the US Army. I found that the best way is like being a doctor and having to break bad news. Be up front and as honest as possible. Deal with the pain and anger when it comes, but when it subsides, you will be respected more for telling the truth rather than sugar coating the situation. Bad things happen and bad things can happen on any deployment, families need to be ready for anything rather than just the Soldiers.

I highly recommend watching a documentary called "Armadillo", it's from a danish group of soldiers in Helmand Afghanistan. (If you havn't already)

I have a friend that served in the Norwegian special forces down there.. He and his squad got a bit controversial with the media. They said "To Valhalla" And had the punisher logo on their jackets, and sometimes horns on their helmets. They also said war is better then sex, "Krig er bedre enn å pule" google that and you find it. These guys lost a friend in combat, and everyone but my friend from the squad suffers from Post-traumatic stress syndrome in some form or another. It was not easy, and I respect you all for going through it! I think the media deserves the truth, and that toning it down to be something else is in fact a harmful lie.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know Norway was helping out in Afghanistan. Thanks, friends.

Interesting look into how my country does deployments. i won't be able to experience it as i was not accepted into the Norwegian military. (Asthma makes someone quite ineligible for military service)

In 20year in Afghanistan Norway lost about 10 soldiers. From what I know

About the family briefing: If it was honest, most families would be against it. Military is seldom honest about anything, if they was, they would have problems to get soldiers to fight for them. Both when it comes to how dangerous it is, and the actual political reasons for why they do things.

As far as the up to date death photos go, the USMC must have felt it would be a waste of time. I personally didn't want anyone acting that I was already blown away. So, I told my family what was happening after it was clear what our job was going to be in-country. I even broke up with my girlfriend. Because the odds of her being faithful for thirteen months were the same us being killed. By the way, our task was to be shoving shit against the tide.

How come?

One of the reasons it all falls apart and Taliban retook power is in my view that we can't actually spread ideological material. If we did then it'd be an argument of whether to spread Christian, or secular or other ideological material etc. Since western democracies, whether republics like America or monarchies like Norway are based on neutrality towards these issues it's not something you can do really. Then you get a problem like no other: The Taliban is committed to an ideology based in religion as a source of unity, and the occupying force attempting to create a better society than the one that the Taliban ruled in 2001 is trying to compete with that society without directly engaging the religion itself.
