Royal Marines yomp for three days to mark Falklands anniversary 

My father's oldest brother was an original too. I didn't know him well and our family didn't talk about the war like it was a source of great stories so I don't know much. I know he trained at Achnacary and was at the invasion of Sicily. If the four brothers were in a group photo, you'd pick him out as being the hard man of the lot.

I'm very proud of the British contribution to these endeavours in our shared history of doing the right thing when ever they heard the call to serve. Cheers!

@@charlieross-BRM my father didn't speak about it hardly at all. He said it was 'Hell' and that was that .

@@JC-sf6sf but they are heroic it’s the people that force them to do the wrongs that are the cowards, a soldiers job is to follow orders no matter what Evan if it is to March straight into gunfire and risk there lives, that’s heroic the soldiers are not the bad ones they are some of the most heroic people in the world and they deserve it for there outright courage and heroism Evan when they are facing death in the eyes

I had the same thought. The Falklands Yomp was with 80 pound packs, I believe.

@@JC-sf6sf I suggest that you inform yourself about the history of mankind in this Earth on how many Countries have been invaded/Conquered by other's , and not conveniently single out the UK . Thank you .

@@JC-sf6sf you realise we were the invaded ones in the falkland war

Ko

If we'd known it was a race we wouldn't have given them the 6mile head-start of being on Wireless Ridge or let them move a Battalion 30 miles by helicopter. (It's funny how you never hear the Veg talk about that bit 🤷🏻‍♂️)

@@uioplkhj I'll raise you ?? & a wtf?

Not quite. Britain had established claims to the islands that France had recognised in 1690, france had settled with the intent to spark a war in the south Atlantic to distract the RN so they could invade the British mainland, as revenge for the seven years war

Not ' the military' just the Parachute Regiment.

Royal Marines Yomp while the Army Tabs.

No RM surrendered in the Falklands, you're confusing us with the Paras at Arnhem.

@@JammyDodger45 haha, yea when we had no more ammo and there was about 30 blokes left after fighting a Panza division. Not bad for lightly armed airborne warriors. You lot still had ammo you should of bugged out and did commando stuff. Instead of trying to fight against overwhelming odds. The boss made a mistake there Imagine the damage the booties could of done. Commando raids setting up OPs sending intell back to the task force commanders.

@@carlseddon2392 - the FI Governor ordered them to creasefire to avoid civilian casualties, a decision made in agreement with Whitehall. They were fighting to protect Islanders from a regime that had already killed 30,000 of its own people. It's not a difficult scenario to understand.

Go back to your bed. The nurse is coming.

What? So they shouldn't do it due to "risk of injury"? 🤣🤣🤣

It's a calculated and minimal risk. Precautions are taken to minimize injury. Just like when you drive a car you wear a seatbelt to minimise injury and drive as safely as possible, but if you want to be 100% safe you'd never leave your house.

It's to emulate their brothers all those years ago. To show others and themselves they are still ready to do the same. And you never know, maybe technology will some day let you down. And anyway, not doing something like this because of injuries is an insult to the uniform.

@@goopyjoe silly comment making a point that doesn't really relate to what I said

@@user.--. do you know how many ex RMCs I've met with massive debilitating problems later in life? It's not sensible to march that distance with weight.
