Outnumbered And Outgunned: The War Against The Taliban

[@thetiredtomcat]

You know it’s serious when a British officer says ‘the situation is really getting a bit critical’

[@HoneyBundle]

Very true.

[@Peter-wc4kr]

I’m amazed the Land Rovers never broke down.

[@mosesnyamiya]

I love your military documentaries, can you document the USA and Colombia farc... Big fan from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@Tommy-jl9dm]

Then after 15 years or more we gave it back. Not only that but all the homeless and disabled squadies had to watch as we gave the Afghans new build homes and benefits. Now we're giving 50million to Isis in Syria as grannies can't afford to put the heating on ? Wtf are you fighting for

[@JH-ck1nr]

Spot on.

[@thomasnewton8997]

I love our British armed forces

[@RickOShay]

We are updating our stance from peeved to slightly miffed thanks to being grossly undersupplied and underfunded.

[@DroneBeerDelivery]

Fantastic journalism

[@English.Andy1]

Bloody Land Rovers. What a thing to have to fight in

[@MickAngelhere]

Brought back memories for me, from when I was in the Border Areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan back in 1990 . We were travelling through the region when one day we got caught up in the middle of a firefight between two tribes. Bullets were flying everywhere and then someone started throwing mortar rounds into the mix , interesting day that was. The British Government let down the military that’s for sure, trying to fight a war on the cheap, yet at the same time the military High Command had forgotten the lessons learned from about one hundred years of involvement in Afghanistan. The governments of the Coalition Forces did not understand or didn’t want to understand the people that they sent their troops in to fight, it’s a tribal culture. One that’s not only fighting the Coalition but they fight each other as well, they have been fighting for centuries and they’re not going to stop anytime soon. The Border areas are totally wild and smuggling was the main pastime for the people there , the main roads are government territory, but on either side of the roads, it was tribal territory. That’s how it was and I guess still is today. The only people who benefited from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are those in the Military, Industrial Complex who made billions from it all

[@SpACeCruizeR2o3]

Wild story thanks for the serivice you provided 💪🏼💯💨💨💨Cruizer out

[@MickAngelhere]

@ it was pretty wild, I’m still amazed that my friends and I were hit with all the bullets flying. I wasn’t military, we were just some tourists travelling through a wild country and the police officer that was with us was doing the same thing we were doing and that was taking cover and making ourselves as small as possible 👍

[@SpACeCruizeR2o3]

@MickAngelhere oh I thought u were in service wow thats even wilder

[@MickAngelhere]

@ I did try joining the army when I was eighteen, however they didn’t like the fact that I had to wear hearing aids in both ears to be able to hear properly. Even though I pointed out to them that I had my own ear protection and that my eyesight was perfectly fine. Alas no go there 👍

[@SpACeCruizeR2o3]

@MickAngelhere hey at least u tried

[@xL0stKIlah]

Outnumbered and out outgunned by a supposed a 3rd world country

[@bpcgos]

Lol... Yeah thats what US did when they lose... Playing victim... Just like vietnam, they depict Vietcong as savage brutal inhumane troops, forget that all the same in war (US even worse with their agent orange chemical weapon cause suffering even generationa later), no good guy or bad guy, only the one live and die,win and lose. And Losing is losing,nothing can sugarcoat that reality

[@UnbannedAgain]

They don't have the steamroller approach like america.

[@Jack-me167]

Its sad the soldiers who actually wanted to fight are foreshadowed by the cowards and corrupt

[@ALitScottyB323]

One of the most important part of the War in Afghanistan has been filmed and narrated by a reporter Shaun who caught a really fierce bit of footage wich I've watched a few times and it comes as one of they videos that's a bittersweet pill to swallow as one of the Warriors said it has went back into the Taliban's hands after the failure of the government of Afghanistan not supporting this part of what they should be responsible to do as the Soldiers are here to help fix a War stricken country and now they are all back from what looks like a waste of money and time and people's lives RIP to any of the people who lost their other half rest easy guy's respect from Scotland ✌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✍📌💥💨💨

[@probal2559]

After all this the allied forces eventually lost & left Afganisthan! Afganistan is a graveyeard for super powers!

[@UnbannedAgain]

Also freedom, human rights, plant life and the poor.

[@alibuolayyan9038]

After all this, you fled from the Taliban and left your equipment and the people of Afghanistan at their mercy.

[@KevinN-df8eo]

No, we didn't, that was the Americans and these are British soldiers.

[@dkkuhn87]

No, the coward Afghan men refused to fight for their country. So now they get to deal with radical Islamists.

[@DannyDeVito-p5y]

@@KevinN-df8eo how is it any different? British did leave with equipments there too...Britain of today is nothing but a tamed dog that US orders around. How the once mighty British has been reduced to being a fetch dog to the US. Lmao.....the relinquished self respect of a nation that UK has done towards Americans, no other EU country has......UK is just a bch to America now.....and soon, will be not even that.

[@Jarrosnshajahwh]

We didn't, yanks did

[@Cityyblaster]

Just watched a documentary of an American living with the taliban they are actually doing alot better

[@nickjung7394]

[@vynleshmynle7372]

That’s war man. Ya win some ya lose some

[@kylestreet3264]

The .50 keeps jamming because ol boy keeps short bursting it so it wont cycle correctly. 6-9 rnd burst minimum

[@csjrogerson2377]

Where did you get that nonsense from? Low rate of fire is bursts of 5-7 rds with long gaps. High rate is 5-7 rnd bursts at frequent intervals. The burst rates are not minimums, they are standards usage rates. Some 50cals can select-fire single shot. If it cycles, it cycles, it has nothing to do with 3, 4 or 5 .

[@harri7416]

What year was this filmed?

[@barbarianlions4life]

2006

[@hextoken]

The war being won but politics in the US and the UK overturned the victory.

[@Dad_Life_Marine_Vet]

The UK tried to get other nations to stay and fight when the US announced they were pulling out...safe to say none did and the UK couldn't do it on our own...never mind

[@coolbeans7349]

i love this journalist lol, he goes from getting shot at and continuing smoking to starting a conversation and shaking hands with the ANA while also getting shot at

[@shirleydrury5565]

We have a series lack of money! Are army is very well trained but we have not got the kit and money for a prolonged war.😢

[@dancyr6686]

14:46 -14:48 as the solider is talking with Sean I can hear what seems to be an EVP or a disembodied voice saying a word or two, not surprised with all the death around. There doesn't seem anyone else around them and judging by the eyes of the solider nobody had walked up to them to whisper something as you can see if look a few seconds before a person approached and walked by and the soldiers eyes moved towards the person instantly. Hmmm.

[@UnbannedAgain]

To be fair, superpowers gave them all they needed to fight russia, they cant be surprised when those weapons get turned around on them.

[@reneaston3018]

Didn't think they still used harrier's ?

[@jeremyblandford7669]

Did back then

[@Mag_Aoidh]

How in the world they managed to make that the graveyard of empires is beyond me. Definitely not these guys.

I already watch this so many years before, reupload right?

[@londonman8688]

it is an utter disgrace that the british gov sent the military that was so unprepared

[@bl123-w8l]

this reporter had a lucky escape in 2008 he was kidnapped by the Taliban on the border with Pakistan and held hostage for 3 months after trying to meet alqaeda for an interview. He lost about 20kg from dysentry. Since then I don't think he ever done another documentary until 2024 when he went to Ukraine.

[@Pavlovshouse-ud5ek]

They’re still there. He’s all gone.

[@M2m-Dck]

they are not outnumbered or outgunned. they were outsmarted

[@ibrahimali4869]

FACTS

[@sharkwolf7788]

Pretty good assessment.

​@@ibrahimali4869using guerilla warfare and going against the Geneva convention isn't 'outsmarting'. It's cowardly.

[@ApulSidek]

Since when us, UK and NATO's obeys of Geneva Convention? U still think war just like u playing badminton and soccer,wars dont have referee anyways,

@@ApulSidek but civilians that don't understand war are very quick to read their certain news and make their minds up

Without resolve.... all will be...

[@thomasnewton8997]

Why are they not using armoured vehicles

[@Truthbomb918]

Didn't have them till much later

[@robertdavis6708]

Training a new Afghan Army that doesn't want to fight is a serious thing. Start and equip them with proper fighting gear and shed the tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are for running from the enemy.

[@christopherhinton6456]

were is all the armourd vehicles.

[@lancashirebob3]

senior people in the MOD need to be sacked. We have spent millions in taxes over the years to the MOD and when they are needed they come up short. No different to russia. Where has our money gone to?

[@JH-ck1nr]

Brave men and women in a backward country and region that will never change. A war that could never be won and a sad pointless loss of lives.

About 60 thousand dead vs not even 400 british. The taliban were kicked out as well. The ones who lost were the Afghan army who surrender overnight when coalition forces left. They beat themselves 😂.

@@terranaxiomuk 50 UN countries vs 1 and 50 lost. what a waste of lives.

[@terranaxiomuk]

@@Ballentyne817 The afghan army lost. They surrendered to the taliban when the country was supposed to be their responsibility. The only losers are the Afghan people who have to face going back to medieval tribal politics and ways of life. The taliban would still be hiding in Pakistan if the goal was to literally own Afghanistan. The country largely has nothing to offer.

[@Ballentyne817]

@@terranaxiomuk No the invaders lost just like every time people try to inavde that country they lose. But thanks to the CIA and the great invaders the country is now destroyed just like every country the west invades ,only depletion of resources and poverty following.

This is Afghanistan baby not India or any other country so that you can occupy it. Your ancestors had given it a try too before you. You don't learn things easily mate.

[@terranaxiomuk]

Except Afghanistan was taken and westernised. The taliban waited until it was handed over and the Afghan army surrendered overnight. The goal was never to keep it. So mission accomplished. The Afghan army failed, and their leader ran away.

Wtf are you talking about. They entirely replaced the Afghan government with a democratic one and kicked the taliban out. The failure was the Afghan army when it was handed over.
