That scene from 23:40 is probably one of the best journalistic moments captured from this war. It really gives perspective of what these brave lads go/went through.

We The Dutch have never mobilised in modern war the way others have. When visiting NZ and Australia I was humbled that every single little town has a memorial, often with casualties listing back to the Boer War, The Great War ,WW2 etc. Also visiting places like Omaha beach, Verdun and numerous war cemeteries has risen my feeling of brotherhood with The West. Your boys were sent into the meatgrinder for my freedom. Too all veterans or relatives , thank you.

"I'm here just because the boys are here" really reflects why even these tough bastard will cry when one of their buddy is dead.

Ross you're amazing. As an American veteran I appreciate you going out and embedding with not only British military but also with The American military. Veterans from the US and GB hold a special place in my heart and so do you.

It isn't explained in the video but those British soldiers held out for around 50 days before being escorted out. At the start they had support from 120 Danish soldiers who were equipped with armoured vehicles and heavy weaponry. The Danes had to withdraw taking their equipment with them and they were replaced with a lightly armed group of British soldiers which left the British heavily outnumbered. There was quite intense fighting for fifty days with the Taliban coming right up to the compound the soldiers were in with the British soldiers losing 2 men. Eventually the village elders made a deal with the Taliban and the soldiers to try and stop the fighting where the British soldiers would be escorted out and the Taliban wouldn't take the village (they eventually did).
