Thought some may be interested to see how the boys are making out in Afghanistan. 
Link below to Firefight Footage – additionally, to the right of the screen you’ll note several other videos of Canadians in firefights.

Hi Dave; Excellent video you brought up.. i like that" theyre defintely gonna wonder who the Cdns are from here on out".... and i think that has rang true..the bugers are back to cowardly attacks as they can no longer sustain themselves at all in a up front battle... hope they get enough hep to really finsih crushing them.. and hope Mr Mussharaff wil now have his trroops do their duty,, as we are to trust them with, and run these killers to ground in Pakistan...thanks Dave, good work, ranrad Cheesy

I seen these a little while ago when the link was published in an article and, subsequently, became an issue with NDHQ. I see again, that general Hillier has cracked down so I doubt we will see anything as good as this stuff coming out of our area of responsibility.

However!

If you like this sort of thing, use the u-tube search option and type in US forces, iraq. Other good search clues are US any branch, afghanistan, ieds, combat... ect ect ect....

Then, of course, prepare to go blind watching that dinky screen......
