Russ Craig was my one of my childhood hero’s, having watched his journey through Mountain and Arctic warfare Cadre, ‘Behind the lines’ when I was 6 years old. What a character! 😎

Russ Craig , the ML!

[@andydavidson]

With the 40th anniversary I found myself watching quite a few videos on the Falklands war, at the time I was 15 years old and watched the news and followed what was going on. I have the utmost respect for the guy who fought there, true hero's.

[@nicholasdavies6264]

I’m sure the first guy was in a programme on you tube regarding the Arctic Warfare Cadre ?

[@al488j]

Military Tour: I am Peruvian, this is the last thing I am going to say about the English, Peru must tell this to the world and not wait for others to tell the story, the world is changing and more and more information is increasing in my country about the English and everything what they did for Peru, England is the mother country of Peru now I explain this because the rulers of Peru made England our enemy, she feels as if Peru betrayed Argentina that's how she feels, I hope that the same thing does not happen to any country with another country just as Peru and England became enemies I say this because almost always they talk about the English, the Malvinas war and the war of the Pacific, I am Peruvian, this is the user speaking Racso Atomic Bomb and T-Rex return to watch military channels with this user, The Peruvian government believes that in 1975 to 1978, the Peruvian government wanted to acquire an aircraft carrier England when Peru could have declared war on Chile, the English government had no impediment and the English said that if they could sell the aircraft carrier to Peru, Peru had the English Canberra fighter bombers and the Hawk Hunter to attack Chile, the English once again demonstrated that Peru and England are allies, the error came later with Belaunde Terry, who put Peru in the Malvinas, which Peru should have been neutral to improve the military alliance between Peru and England, when there is a budget in the future I hope that English Frigates Type 31 Leander can be acquired, and name the frigates Miguel Grau and Guisse because the Englishman Martin George Guisse is the first founder of the Peruvian Navy with Jose de San Martín, England offered Peru these frigates to replace the Peruvian fleet that is made up of the lupo class consolidating renovation and to arm the Peruvian armed forces, I understand that it can be built in SIMA PERU, they are partners who won an international tender in 2020, I understand that the cost of the Type 31 Leander Frigate is 350 million dollars, the FREMM frigates The F-100 Frigates of Spain are between 850 and 900 million euros It is not 400 or 600 million euros as some say, the FREMM frigates are very expensive from 700 million or more in euros, they are also expensive a cruise ship sank a ship from Venezuela coming from Navantia Spain, that is why the best candidate for the Navy of Peru is the English frigate Type 31 Leander is modern economy, it has great technology for the Peruvian Navy we must acquire when there is a budget later the Type 31 Leander 1,2 or 4 English frigates, depending on the budget that Peru has this will be when there is a new patriotic and intelligent government because with the terruco and communist of Pedro Castillo nothing is ever going to be bought, also England will build hospitals and schools in Peru we are talking about 7 million, 2 billion the United Kingdom, through a consortium formed with British companies, will promote approximately 118 projects in Peru, now Peru and England must reflect on the mistakes of the past due to the fight against Pacocha, the Supposed financing of England to Chile in the Pacific War, I understand that England financed Peru and Chile, but the Prado government did not completely arm Peru, that is why we stopped being financed by England, in fact the Huascar ship from Peru was English, Bolivia was the only country that was not financed by the English also England retained two ships from Chile and Peru during the Pacific War, apparently England was neutral, also that Prado was of Chilean origin betrayed leaving unarmed with very little weapons we had nothing on us Prado fled from Peru, it was the fault of Prado's felon who did not buy anything and did not arm Peru and the Malvinas war should also be reflected upon the Peruvian government and the English government They must improve the military and economic alliance, England financed and freed Peru in its independence, the English also founded from cities, banks, companies, schools, Inca kola drink, they made soccer popular in Peru among many other things, etc. thanks to England Peru and Peruvians exist without England, Peru would not exist, it would continue to be a colony of Spain, this is the reality, everyone knows this, that is why in all schools in Peru, all Peruvians are taught English, English must also be the new and second language. official of Peru in honor of England, Peru must be like Canada I understand that Canadians speak English and French in Peru, they should officially speak two languages, English and Spanish, Peru and England should be allies because England, the English people, José de San Martín and the Argentine people are and will continue to be the liberators of Peru today and always. The Peruvian president at the UN, Pedro Castillo tried to destroy the economic and military alliance with Israel, Russia and Morocco, Peru must be neutral and never again get involved in the Malvinas conflict. In addition, the English were war heroes and defended Peru because the English joined the Peruvian armed forces to defend the country, to add another fact is that the English Martin George Guisse was born in Gloucestershire England, a family of the local nobility was the son of Lady Elizabeth Wright and Sir John Guisse first baronet, the Englishman Martin George Guisse was the first founder of the Peruvian Navy as I mentioned and, in December 1821, he was decorated by San Martín with the brand new Order of the Sun, together with other Englishmen such as Guillermo Miller, Robert Forster and Diego Paroissien, the English Guisse rose through the ranks to officer of the British Royal Navy, where he served during the Napoleonic wars, once the war in Europe ended, he resigned from the British navy and bought his own ship to go to Latin America and participate in the wars of independence, Guisse's great-grandson is Peruvian aviator hero Jorge Chavez, After having settled in our national territory, San Martín appointed him rear admiral of the nascent Peruvian navy and participated in the blockade of the port of Callao, until it was interrupted by a Spanish naval expedition, after this confrontation was unfinished, he decided to go to Guayaquil where , after the war broke out with Gran Colombia, he fought and took the port of Guayaquil, but at the price of his life. He died in Guayaquil one night on November 23, 1828, his body was taken to Callao in Peru, in case of war England against any other country must support the Peruvian government and the Peruvian president must support England and deliver material of heavy War, give away fighter planes and send Peruvian soldiers to the British armed forces in gratitude to England because, as the British said, the British Empire financed the independence and liberation of Peru and the British also helped the Argentine José de San Martín to liberate Peru. It would be good if Peru could acquire the English frigates Type 31 Leander or some other model it would be good for the Navy from Peru, by the way my english is not very good Greetings from Lima,Perú!
