What a remarkable example of not just a British soldier but also a son, husband and father. Nothing but respect from myself.

[@sassijay]

What a brave and heroic man Brian is. Unbelievable how he was treated, what a disgrace.

[@stevebaker6711]

What a true man. Terrific respect.

[@stevebaker6711]

Love the show Dodge.

[@Notnow1]

What an amazing guy Brian is. This, our country the U.K. owes so much to guys like this. Thank you Brian. Bless you.

[@johnmattock1]

Brave man, respect to you from an ex serviceman. I am 52 years of age now and although we hold our servicemen in high regard for valour. I think we should understand that our Governments actions towards foreign policy makes shells of men. Danny says about the people trying to kill him in their own country, we need to understand if a foreign invader comes this is what happens.

[@steadytube]

what a fantastic interview. much respect for this man. he has done and gone through more than most men could handle.

[@andrewdunn952]

Very moving interview from a top soldier and man ❤ wish you all the best for the future x

[@andrewmcloughlin8869]

A great interview Dodge. Massive respect to Brian Wood. How these selfless heroes are treated if and when they come home is an absolute disgrace. Comforting to see that Brian and his family dealt with the re-traumatisation caused by the baseless allegations. Many don't deal with it so well, unfortunately.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Nice one Andrew 👌🏼

[@ArmourEmpire]

What an amazing story. What bravery, both on the battlefield and in the court room. Exceptional guy. Modest and magnanimous. Really moved by his story

[@DodgeWoodall]

“This great nation” I wish more people said that. Brian is a legend!

One of the best and most haunting military-related interviews I've ever watched. Brian Wood is a living legend and an absolute unit. Thank you so much Dodge for giving this amazing fella the opportunity to tell his incredible story.

[@DodgeWoodall]

My pleasure and what a story it is 😳

[@shermansquires3979]

Wow, what a soldier. Probably saved Beharry's life, who then went on to do what he did for the VC. This man is something else.

Respect from a fellow ex serviceman of 23 years service. Many a strong brother came home a changed person.

Fantastic podcast Dodge. Brian comes across as a man of honour and I thank him for his service to our country .

[@QQ_241]

Thanks for the heart on my comment knowing that you read the comments now just wanna say your channel is amazing. I have forwarded a link of the Carlton video to my Dad. He was born in 1947 massive Hammers fan grew up in Romford and I know he is going to love the beginning of that video. I have become a massive fan in the last month and can honestly say I hope your channel goes from strength to strength. I am glued to your channel. Gotta say one thing tho, some people sticking their beak into other people's business making stupid comments on videos makes me hang back and keep my gob shut because you really do have the most serious of serious people on the podcast. I wouldn't dream of saying anything stupid in your comments cos you never know who is reading and watching. Thanks for your effort. Having a little Google tells me you are in the same league and deserve all the success. /End blowing smoke!!

Amazing story....Where can i find Danny Boy to watch please Dodge

[@sgtted7580]

Hey Brian, Good to see your doing ok. I remember 2004 in Iraq. I remember one of the ranges I ran pre deployment was just like how Danny Boy played out.

[@MC14may]

And how was this range planned? I too was on the pre-employment ranges in 2004...I actually led the attack at Dannyboy(not Wood) so I'm interested in your comparison?

@@MC14may Its because Woody come up and said to me in Al Amarah not long after it happened. I was in A coy. Not sure I should say my name, give you my first name ( Shane) but you would probably know me. I left the Battalion in 2011.

So you think its all about standing to attention and polishing your boots. The major casualties of war is often those alive and taking their own war to their graves. The UK appears to lack compassion for past and present UK military, yet if it not for those we wouldn't have the future and freedom you enjoy today. Another amazing podcast - close to my heart and thank you.

I was 16 years and 8 months when I started basic in 1992. 92B at Harrogate Army Apprentice College. Mad times. 40:37 it was a punchy day - you don't say 😂😂 That's mad I can so relate to this guy not being prepared for the legal battle, after I left the army I was fitted up by the police for something I didn't do, nothing as serious as the case talked about here, but after leaving the army I went though hell, and the police just broke me. Being fitted up for something I didn't do and then finding out afterwards they knew all along just ruined me. Even though I won and beat the case I went through 5 years of suicidal ideation every day and my dog was the only reason I didn't do it. I feel for this man beyond words.

[@FactaNonVerba744]

Just down to bad luck and bad timing.. Brian’s Kosovo tour 2001 was quiet.. a week after PWRR left on handover to Lancers a bus was blown up and a soldier killed later on by a mine. Lots of respect for Brian 💂🏻‍♀️🇬🇧
