Brilliant programme, with haunting footage from the frontline and some emotional personal accounts. Gripping and extremely well made. I recommend.

Watched abit. A lot of close friends have been to afghan and ive seen a few home made vids and it is pretty mental.
I thought the guy summed it up perfectly at the end though...
'In iraq i thought we were the problem, but in afghanisitan i thought we were there to help'

That was savage. "pick him up you cunts. If he dies I will hate you forever"
Suppose you don't mince your words when there are bullets flying all over the place.

Good watch that was, definatly hits home watching these things.
My best mate was on Op Herrick 10 and showed me the footage he had from it, when he showed me i literally didnt know what to say when he was narrating to me what was going on describing that his mates had been killed/blown up etc. He actually broke down crying whilst watching it back for the first time with me it was grim.
