I spent 6 years in the U.S. Army in Germany in the 1970's. I served in Armor and Cavalry and trained frequently with the Dutch, Canadian and British Armies in Northern Germany. I have to say I had the time of my life. All three armies were very professional and a joy and honor to train with. If me and my cohorts went to town for some beers and bratwurst and the British soldiers saw us they would always pick up our tab. When we trained with the Canadians they always found a way to throw a party feeding us steak and baked potatoes. I remember many nights at the Gastehouse drinking with these comrades in arms and have many fond memories. I am 68 years old now and remember well flying through the countryside in an armored vehivle side by side with my NATO cousins!!! WE WON THE COLD WAR!!!!
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last couple of days :)
I've literally just stumbled upon your channel (Congo mercenaries) and I'm stunned. I dislike war and violence immensely but somehow your stuff lures me in. Dozens of relevant clips and combined with very good music. Even this one with it's flowing soundtrack. I really hope you keep going with this. Not that I want wars - more because somehow you make something damned good from pieces of badness and rot. Subscribed.
Couldn’t have said it better. The music makes the history of the worlds recent conflicts even more interesting to the casual mind. This wave is pretty cool
Having some experience with the G3, its amazes me to see people exiting APCs with FALs(I beg your pardon SLRs ;) with bayonets! Hard to move without stabbing someone or getting stuck on interior :P
Well i mean the soviet union broke up because they couldnt afford it, it would never have come to a point were the west would have gone bankrupt because they Communists states would all have collapsed way before.

Greetings Samm....am i mistaking if i say that at 2:14 there is an AMX-VTT and also French Milan ATGM Teams? By the shape of the helmets 2:24. Where this footage come from? Is it possible that there were some French Opfor element in some kind of joint exercise?? Thanks for any comments.
@formal frog with an aks-74u Yes and no, remember that the war was not started by the people, it was started by a dictatorship in order to cover up the mistakes they made.And the Falklands (as you call them) They are legitimately from Argentina if you learn history you will see that we have every right to make the claim since it was the English who illegally expelled the natives and the Argentine governor
Well that's under the British military control not ours, granted they made bad decisions. But I have respect for the VETERANS, being interested in everything MILITARY. and having met loads of veterans being British my self.

there can and has been a romantic side to war. Often with you're own comrades, sometimes with the enemy.

Currently working on one, should be out soon!
Luckily the Soviet Union broke up otherwise nobody can afford this arms race today.

Not sure the cold war ever stopped. Seems like things just went sub zero for a bit and the thaw has occured to show us a new rival.
