Our War: 10 Years in Afghanistan (BBC3)
Just watched it myself..
Bit harsh Jay? I think most of us here (maybe with the exception of Zero & a few others (respect to you btw)) would make similar mistakes on first contact with REAL Taliban.
Yeah, the rupert was green, but he was still a genuine bloke.

THIS IS MUST WATCH TV

I hope the rest of the series is as good.

Suppose i was harsh there Ivan, Major respect to them all!

BUT i cant belive the attitude they went in there with, So un'organised! but atleast they learned from there mistakes!

And yer it is MUST WATCH TV!

Respect to: MasterG, Zero and my mate serving in Afghanistan atm!

Now this is a awesome documentary.

In a respectfull way.

Was a good watch, but i have to agree will scotty the sergeant lost hes cool and when he said if he dies because of you i will hate you forever i just thought thats helping no one. I think the one person who needs to keep a clear head is him it just seemed a bit amateur? what i will say is after Gray was killed there platoon commander said they were like different men and had learnt alot from it.

I found the sergeant a bit brute, but I think the squad was kinda of amateurish. Not covering where they were supposed to at all, so many reminders of doing something simple like that :/ He could of handled it better but yer .. when s**t hits the fan every things different.

Alot of them resigned after there 1st tour.

Those boys should never have been but in that situation! -

Or atleast been giving a Well experience Squad Leader... Like i said was Very frustrating for me ( Found myself shouting at the tele n sh!t )

I just saw the first episode of Our War, Ambush. Strong stuff. Everyone should see it.
