Looks good........

On tonight folks...9pm-10.30pm
Soz, cant find a trailer....

Behind-the-scenes footage of the Iraq war is revealed in this exclusive 90-minute documentary.
Filmmakers travelled to the arid desert of Basra to join British
forces on the ground. They watched as our 4000-strong Army rapidly
diminished over the course of March to the end of May this year.
Extraordinary stories of soldiers become real as they speak openly
about the the ordeals, trials and emotional stress they endure while
fighting. No soldier is untouched by their experiences in Iraq.
What do they really feel? What is it like to be fighting every day
for months and months at a time. Do they believe in what they are
fighting for? These are the ever-present issues they are forced to
question.
In the frankest interviews to date, soldiers from regiments, 5
Rifles and B Company explain candidly what life is like on the front
line and explain how they feel about how they are perceived by the
British public at home.
Shot with footage of action on the ground and archive material it is
the closest a civilian will get to understanding the other side. With
so many news and media reports, this is a chance to give the soldiers
their own voice.
The film is an emotional history of the troops' journey which so
many other soldiers have fought and died for since the invasion six
years ago.
Watch their side of the story.

Just set a reminder for it, cheers.

I watch all these kind of programs...

Just Watched it
Some of the scenes had me choked up..
Specially the young widow with the little uns....

Yeah, part of the interview with her little boy playing in the background, then he stops to watch his mum cry and the camera focuses in ... ffs.


Decent summing up of a pointless campaign and a complete waste of young British lives. Fuckin' Blair has a LOT to answer for ...

This guy, having the idea and taking the time to make those vids for his son gets sent off to the desert to be killed for oil ... makes you sick.

The Geordie lad missing his legs too, no compensation and a £150 a week pension, what a joke!

Yup, pretend WMD's and all that, but at least folk think they know why our soldiers were sent there, lie or not...
Afghanistan, Joe Public aint got a clue why our lads are there.........
