My sentiments exactly. The fact that he's on it actually stopped me from tuning in.

I've only watched it once. He puts me off. Otherwise, an excellant insight into what really goes on over there, as well as a good look the lives of people who think £16,000 a year is worth dying for.

It's quite a good documentary. Why are they there anyway? Who said Bin Laden is in Afganistan, why can he not be found when we can get pics of bloody Pluto and Jupiter millions of miles away? There is no evidence that the twin towers was done by Muslims except for Bin Laden's word. Every Muslim knows that suicide is not part of the religion so those who bomb should not be regarded as Muslim. The only time where they can fight is if they are oppressed i.e. Gaza but no civilians can ever be killed. From a British point of view, what a waste of soldiers fighting America's battles. Here they come back dead or disabled with the gov not willing to pay, no heros welcome and a very bleak future for soldiers and their families. Sorry to rant but why send people to die without reason?

Totally agree, there is no valid reason why they should be in Afghanistan anyway! Its all a load of politics, also same in Iraq, no WMD's but Bush felt like finishing off what his father couldn't.
Can't wait for the day of Judgement

No particular reason. He isnt there as Grant Mitchell is he? He is there to show the story of the troops thats all. Grow a brain lad.

True about the politics. Its self inflicted in a way as it was of course the US who armed them to the teeth when they were fighing the Soviets. But the mujahadeen were different, they were loyal freedom fighters. The Taliban took over ect.....not that it should have been anyone elses perogative to go to war there.
None the less despite the reasons we are at war whether they are legit or not the fact remains that we have British people over there putting their lives on the line every day and they deserve every bit of support they can get. Its sad how they are treated like shit when they are injured. Whats even sadder is that we may have troops over there for at least the next 10 years or so.
