Lenmcharristar 10,333 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Still serving and been made to keep stum by the MOD I think ? Those lads have now left and can speak out without fear . That's the take I thought was trying to be put across? That they were left out to dry basically for two months and then told to keep quiet ? They should all recieve VC's They all showed extreem valour on a daily basis for two months out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by 500 plus Taliban attacking day and night. They were fighting withing feet of them mortars having to basically go verticle to lob them close distances over the mud wall to stave off marauding Taliban trying to breach the compound. Scary stuff knowing your out on a limb . Max Respect. max your right about the vc, but not one received anything, yes it's their job but that's balls as big as King kongs the Royal Irish were the only regiment the taliban called a ceasefire with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 10,333 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 It wernt just the Royal Irish Lem Think there were Paras and Royal Signals in there. The documentary said it was a hastily put together team out of Camp bastion ? Brave lads no matter what regiment they were from. Fought like Lions. Shame them two lads lost their lives but in reality non of them should of survived watching that doc' I'd say they will be long talked about by the locals of that area ? my cousins n friends were in that. Amazing and scary at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
