![]() ![]() I'll not go on about the few nights we had out and how he welcomed me into his family and life, even though he knew I was a bit of a wildcard. Now there was no airs and graces a about Leighton, I would just say that fellas like him would have looked down their noses at the likes of us but Leighton was like myself, you start off as equal and how you proceed will determine how you will continue to be perceived. Now Leighton was a different type of person I'd usually associate with, my ex wife called my friends scum so you can see how she became my ex. Not being a trusting sort of chap, meeting two new friends in the space of a few years was not something I thought was possible but we live and learn. I met a boy who was my pals father in law. Darren Mcnab from East Belfast We all love this anthem for many different reasons, and most of them are in conflicts, legitimate or otherwise, in fact I intend to have it played at my own funeral, which unfortunately is coming a little quicker than I expected but cest la vie, at least I have time to plan, there's many did not however that is not the story.Darren Mcnab from East Belfast Please don't forget about the regiments from Ulster and /or Northern Ireland who have been involved in every major conflict the UK has fought in.Īlan rightly asked that the Scottish and Welsh be recognised, and paid reference to other soldiers but I believe that as part of the UK, regardless of the politics involved, that the men who have served with honour and distinction, they should also be given the deserved respect to be mentioned in the same way that the mainland forces are, plus of course we have had to host 30 years of conflict from those that would hide in the alleys and ditches, and wait in the darkness to make their move, and we all fought that one together.Īpologies for the fullness of reply but I'm off my meds and I suspect a little mania has crept on, but all valid points, and Leighton would have liked to have offered support to some of the guys who had previously posted.Conal from Derry CityI saw Knofpler in an interview telling of how a British soldier who had served in the 1st Gulf War came up to him and told him they listened to this song before invading Kuwait, well its good that the British Army has a sound track for when they head of to kick the sh*t out of a third world country.For many reasons, one of my top five tracks ever. Knopfler's dad came up with the title, he knew what he meant. It is about opposing forces being brothers - living in one world but pawns fighting someone else's war, certainly not a marching into war anthem. G from One WorldA lot of the comments here seem to be under the impression that the 'Brothers in Arms' are the English.Colonel Thomas Hill from FloridaBest guitar solo ever.I respect and honour those from every part of the United Kingdom who served to protect the people and the country. Imogen from UsaJust beautiful! Mark Knofpler presents such an emotional evocation of the soldier's plight with guitar, words, and feeling.Military Aviator from South AfricaTo my comrades, lost in the fog of war.Doddy Wicaksono From Bali from IndonesiaI always hate War.
