Yes, I listened to it. Got the occasional goose bump. Recognised a comment from one of the wives as a post form here.

MG, actually the quotes were not unique. I heard the Mongolian one several times. Once, in Cyprus, we barracked the CSRO who was trying to get us to accept WW2 style EinE, trekking on foot back through enemy territory to friendly lines.

The nearest 'friendly' lines were probably Iran or Pakistan so Mongolia was by far the best option.
