GIVE THOSE TALIBAN SCUM HELL BOYS!!!

Mr. Kesterson,

As a Canadian Forces member I would like to thank you for making more people aware of our contributions to the fight for Afghanistan. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about our role in this conflict, both within Canada and without. We kill and die just as readily as anyone else. I can only hope that the exposure you have given some of our soldiers will cause people to pay respect to the 25 Canadian troops killed in Afghanistan so far, and reflect upon those who have yet to die. Keep it up, Sir.
QUO FAS GLORIA ET DUCUNT

Mr. Kesterson,
Thanks for posting this video, so we can all see the professionalism, and devotion to duty, our Canadian forces brothers display.
As an old US veteran, I respect our Canadian brothers. They have demonstrated, repeatedly, their courage and valor, in this fight against global terrorism.
For 'sapper', thank you for your service.
For all of our troops, fighting in Afghanistan, and elsewhere, keep thy head down, watch the six, and come home safe to your loved ones, and a greatful nation.

great job....

Thank's for the live footage.
We don't see this in Canada.


From a Sapper

My son in law who is a member of the unit you were filming directed me to this site and told me about the documentary you are making from the footage. I would first like to echo the above posters comment in thanking you for the effort and bravery you took to expose the real work our soldiers are doing so selflessly for us all and hope the illusion that some people have that they are riding around in air conditioned g-wagons handing out medicine and candy bars to small children can be dispelled permanently with this work.
I am very proud and extremely greatful for what these brave young men are doing for us and am so releived that Ben made it back to raise his children when far too many have not. What these men actually went through is chilling and people need to realize that Canada is not just blue beret wearing peacekeeping forces as so many still hold this illusion today. These men are heroes and I thank you for helping show this.

as a cadet sergeant watching that was kickass and compells me to go over and kick the talibans ass and love the commen, "I cant believe that guys not dead!"
