was not. for a special forces soldier thinking is paramount but he makes the right decisions. during that five militants tried to outflank the three soldiers led by. and started throwing hand grenades at them. both covered one of those grenades with his own body and. of course i was frightened but i tried to compose myself i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me this is a thought that comes you down mom's waiting. thanks it's a serious never before. of us is ready for it well perhaps not completely ready to prepare yourself for death but we

do know the risks we know what our task is and above all where it is that we see. that was the first loss my unit ever suffered. in the first loss under my command. are. just brave. tape measure i often think of them especially if. it was different to all the other new recruits. he approached me and asked if he could enroll in my group who he wanted to serve in a special messy unit. i showed him a blank sheet from my notebook and said see the sheet that you too are a clean sheet at the moment it's up to you to prove yourself worthy like that everything's in your own hands. people have to make the decision themselves if

a man wants to put himself to the test to go through this trial dan he must do so was becoming a soldier was always my ambition to work. or it. was . usually the singer is a chosen arbitrarily fall in love with the first is mostly the soldier with the loudest voice. in this regard to you again it was always the best when he sang in the school choir and was never in barest. you can so he had no problem saying that army with so many people listening to him. we both thought there was still plenty of time before he left town so when the fifteenth of november when he had to go eventually came around because we spent the

whole night picking his things in hari martin's vs a sweet tooth he had won so have his huge hold all was crammed to the break with snickers chocolate bars and other sweets flutist hysteria taking warm clothes out to because they didn't fit but he wouldn't allow me to touch the suite and. that was completely out of the question the fact. tell you that. i just knew that everything would be fine for some reason we were so confident and because we were going to get married officially after he came back with everything was planned or we didn't send out invitations how could he not come back we thought of the mere thought of it never crossed our minds that sorry i can't.

i heard somewhere that heroes and cowards feel exactly the same things when the difference is that the hero moves on anyway while the colored steps back. but up on the case national to be afraid every deployment feels like the first ever seen repeats itself everyone scared while getting ready for the mission i never think i'm invincible in mosul fearless nothing like that we're lies that event off of the mission in the classroom we drew plans of the conflicts. this usually takes the best of us because the bases are always up front because

they're the quickest to make decisions like you getting up of did during that fight . that there was a. surprise. good. this was the so-called terrorist group which in just one year before that fight carried out several terror attacks inside pakistan these people were fanatics they'd abandon normal life for them life had become war. killed me. they took part in attacks on the security services. they were directly involved in killing law enforcement officers. and they were responsible for terror attacks in the town of. in fact the whole area in dagestan and.

the special forces are an isolated community i can't understand how their wives are able to wait constantly anxious. even when a special forces soldier is at home he can be called up at any moment. it means their wives are always waiting knowing that their man might not come back. we had a heart to heart talk once me and you gave me and he told me a lot about himself i asked more and more questions sometimes i didn't even have to ask. he just took whatever the subject was and elaborate on that i thought when i asked my mother to send me my documents i didn't tell her i was going to sign a contract to serve in a special forces unit. and she might have guessed but she didn't know for sure during my first deployment i was lying to her about where i was and what i was

doing. that i can't find the words to describe how it feels when you're so tense and anxious that every phone call every text message sets your teeth on edge you can or when he calls and tells you in that convoys of his own i'm good we're going on a mission for about five days maybe more don't worry i'll call as soon as i'm back with one. poll come to us. no cameras no no one by the way we had an exam passing it grants you the right to wear the special forces chevron and khaki bray. that's the first stage everyone tried really hard gainey was very strong willed i used to say stubborn he would set goals for himself and you could see he was moving on to achieve them.

when you set yourself a goal you try to achieve it at any cost. in spite of all that of the two hundred twenty two soldiers who took the exam only thirty three of those past. me and i were running in the same race. marsh's the main test was soldier stamina. as you can. the purpose of the test is to make sure that we will know what it's like when you're utterly exhausted and still have to drag a fellow soldier along the borders that's a part of the special forces code under no circumstances will we ever leave one of our guys on the battlefield you drag your friend because you know that his life is

more important than your own. i passed the test on my first attempt and you gainey on his second or third after passing that we could both probably hold our heads up high. exam once in so did you have guinea. this whole he was doing pushups i slapped him on the helmet and said to yourself together boy. a lot of things remind me of him to work together for example. no i had to do it alone. time and just ask him to keep telling him we were doing exercises now i have to ask the other guy after i reenlisted i had nowhere to stay time he agreed

just like that he did the cleaning and i did the cooking so we lived together came home together slept in the same air bed woke up every morning and went to sirius together. with the time. time. if he hadn't covered the grenade with his body a lot of other guys would have done it in a split second he made a conscious decision and found the courage to throw himself on top of it. if it was not for nothing semi-colon's slow witted goods but we have a purpose. unless we come back here is that russia may drown in chaos. we took a dog holds above it with us on that mission where you wouldn't want to bring your

lawn the first is there was barely enough room in the truck and then would put her in her lap for a group of. mature with then she started behaving strangely. yogo and running frantically back and forth whimpering. she must have felt that she was about to die. but we went several meters along the path before winds above us would have to the site knew there was a patch with no snow and we saw a hatch and that very moment a dope and an militants started shooting from it. open file on the hatch in commanded to go for the attack a. sort of chink jumped ahead and suddenly the dog less house a very loud how then she turned back and covered me with her own body and blocked

the machine gun thaw and that the medicines were a means strikes at me. i had to last press it was so long so lalage and then it was silence. i couldn't help myself after that i started crying for. the world from of her sink about recently taken in a german shepherd puppy and i'm training him for comet tusks. but i notice that she resembles the baldwin he's habits is the same looking he saw is sort of admits he lies just the way she did it or while there is a very clear resemblance between the two of them or is it a lie down is a lie down. on a good book well done. i

.

so the lesson we teach to the world is the best way to get yourself a nuclear weapon and of course the biggest culprit of nuclear weapons and producing nuclear weapons and weapons of. the united states and. that we talk about iran suppose of nuclear weapons program you know the united states is producing every kind of weapon under the sun more than every other military on the planet. war and more death and more suffering than every other nation combined and yet it's sitting there on a pedestal talking about other nations developing weapons of mass destruction. that we. need to disarm without question is the united states. speak the language. program. from the. interviews intriguing story.

that. visit. of course my health used to be before i was but i'm trying to get back in shape right now i'm trying to get a special forces officer is supposed to be. my family and friends for the idea that i'm not going to resign i tried to explain there's no one who's ever going to take my place on the mission. i just have to learn the lesson of my wound. in the army at the age of eighteen i was at college then finishing my first year i

left my summer examining. since we're in full swing and went to a suspect's nazi unit. i'm fully aware of what happened and what could have happened in that battle i've long since prepared myself for any possible outcome. of this while there are still people who try to make me change my mind to convince me that i should resign how could i do that if it's what i remain joy that's what i live for and. just i'm not going to plan anything now these military services taught me one very important thing to make no plans for the future ever i could be returning from a combat mission with other guys now but fate decided otherwise.

i was lucky to stay alive. now i'm going to mourn those who died at you when you. get up of course i would like to get it crimson. being a true warrior going to fill it with that's what i aspire to. but for now i have to focus on restoring my health and when the time comes i'll do my very best to pass the exam so that i too can wear their crimson pereira. where commencing an endurance test five sets of ten push ups ten pulling your legs on to your chest and ten jumps any questions no questions will assume front support position on my count. one two three. where you as spetznaz soldier must progress and improve. you there's no point shouting that you're the toughest guy around of them because there's always someone tougher. to.

steve. yet. is the job to get paid for it will take a certain delight in doing it in this world. there's no point thumping your chest and boasting about being a member of the special forces i never liked that sort of thing. people often mistake me for a period trooper or a marine but once called out in the street look there goes a crimson very. old people are reluctant to sit next to me on the buses they're free. for seven reason many believe that are bone headed guerrillas who can't think properly and they're only good for hurting people and fighting the good work of the.

board a flight is what tells you if you are ready you don't know what will happen tomorrow and then what situations your skills might come in handy the more you exercise the more easily you'll pass the test it was easier for you to earn the crimson burry than some others it just means you work harder journey training. the aim of these exams is to test our physical fitness i'm convinced there are no limits to what the human body can do there are only psychological barriers and then spetsnaz even when you can't go on any longer and somehow you do it anyway. the most important thing is to break through the psychological barrier after that everything is easy. brother special forces.

see it as blood. you convince yourself that you have to do it. if i hadn't passed the test i wouldn't have the chevrolet to seal me now. i also really want to go back where. the uniform i'm. all these factors together were very powerful incentive for me. he would wear this brain any weather even when it was freezing cold i remember him coming to save beer once to spend the winter holidays with me she got off the train with the screams and very in his head people were turning to look at him because he ears were blue with cold but he was so proud to be able to wear the b. ray. and soul of the party. hold

jockey competitions within the squad and you get me took part in every one of them during missions we used to make up sketches his act was always brilliant at all. and got called in for people literally cried with laughter. you can code must push the horse i'm. sure i'm happy. you know who i am sergeant do you know. if i keep going through this footage again and again and all the emotion i felt then washes over me again i can't seem to get my head around the idea that if he's no longer with us. but mostly when i went away on my first deployment i was very nervous but i'm

from siberia and we went to the south of the country everything was different even the people that deployment was a long one it lasted a full ten months it all seems so much easier now because i've got the hang of it at last. but we learned what our task would be twenty four hours before the attack the f.s.b. had informed us about a group of militants in a particular area we had to come the ground for them. i saw a trodden path leading into a bush and noticed a hatch i pointed it out to the commander and at that moment i was wounded. some with the battle only lasted for about five maybe seven minutes. ever. thing happened very quickly with these the movie of the with. the terrorists were hiding

out in the lead and the other half they were lying in ambush nearby and they started shooting at us from the bushes all of the same time and from several different directions. we the militants decided to try and break through the wall to herd you again yep of screaming grenade. or men so i'm throwing himself onto it the explosion blew him over on his back and it was all over all of us. when we approached the militants hideout you know they had the advantage because we weren't expecting an attack. that's why we suffered such losses. but we did retaliate well that we completed our task every single one got what was coming to them. thank you have

a number of if right after this we didn't know exactly who was wounded and who was killed so more later the commander reported casualties and said if he's dead or you know i didn't believe in the tourist who. in the neighborhood down all of them is took off my gear and cried. more to your journey was in duty on the night of the twenty fifth of january it stuck in my memory she were the laptop from one of the guys i switched on the computer in so that he was in skype the q. was looking at me on intently i asked what's that all the boat i haven't changed we'll meet very soon and he answered no i want to see you now that's what i remember more than anything else. so on deployment everything is different the group is more close knit when we start an operation there are fifteen soldiers with

the commander in charge we know that our comrades and our commander won't leave us no matter how tough it gets we are team. the. soldiers the military base is the place where your home and your family are. all that fuss will attract you but on a mission a man reveals his true colors a little after the first deployment but a lot of people leave special forces of the sea of some of them realize it's simply not for them those who do stay though make up a reliable team so you won't be afraid of going anywhere with them even to the moon . when.

the when some of our guys go on a combat mission. for you for they leave. for them to return safe and sound with no losses. school we say the number of beignets going oh no the same coming back to their homeland. i passed the exam and now i can wear the special forces insignia everything's great i have no regrets now i'm thinking about signing up for a second tour of duty. you

have to remember that israel if there were in the cabin the award for best dramatic performance by a country israel would win every year it's really a theatre. not to know who is the star of the theater so i'd say the few moments ago now we have to distinguish between israel's rhetorical position and its actual position israel wouldn't be investing billions and billions of dollars into building this wall if it wanted territory beyond the wall if we go back to our lines of you know i mean if i had a hard time doing it's not these go ahead go ahead. i'm sorry if it's not just the wall and the west bank and gaza they're in lebanon now although i see that actually because it's true poland they're they're drilling gas they're taking somebody else's gas and oil.

so the lesson we teach to the world is that the best way to defend yourself is to get yourself a nuclear weapon and of course the biggest culprit of using nuclear weapons and producing nuclear weapons and weapons about struction is my birthday should the united states and i find it absolutely insane that we sit here and talk about iran suppose of nuclear weapons program where you know the united states is producing every kind of weapon under the sun is spending more than every other military on the planet combined and it's involved in more war and more death and more suffering than every other nation combined and yet it's sitting there on a pedestal talking about other nations developing weapons of mass destruction and it's insane that we even allow them to do this the first nation that needs to disarm without question is the united states. is on the journey to such a. one hundred twenty three. days. through two thousand one hundred towns and

cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea space. torch relay. m r t r t dot com. this is a media lead us so we believe that maybe. by the same motion security for your party is a goal. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . i played street cleaner who's in love with a waitress i go on stage and imagine that there's an audience you should take drugs

and drink like a fish called the police told me about the circus but i was such a punk i was like what circus. roller circus are clearly gives me and would break down stereotypes about kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. well if you will. be. the face of your life you lead. a pleasure to have you with us you're on our team today i roll researcher.

storming scared for the ukrainian opposition activists brace themselves for the wires as riot police around that town in the carpet so but the chief of the security forces says an assault isn't part of the plan and. the bahraini government steps up its legal climbdown pro-reform activists as the number of those arrested edges closer to the three thousand mom. and david cameron takes work is to train an inquiry into an oil plan strike up to employees inflated and trying to rot outside the home on the scene and monitor to protest against his shrewdness.
