As yet another ex-Mil rather than "civvy", (although only recently ex), I was pleasantly surprised by RKs frank and honest assessment of his experiences.
I would never wish it on anyone, but I was glad to see that he was indeed crapp1ng himself while the proverbial was hitting the fan, and was not trying to make himself out as some Rambo type figure. This sort of TV can only be a good thing for the AF in which I am proud to have served.
I have not yet had chance to watch Ep3 as I am no longer resident in blighty, so have to rely on torrent sites for my UK TV 'fix'. I will hopefully download and watch it tonight. I stand by to be impressed further.
To chappie;
Although not in UK, rest assured that myself and my ex-Lye colleagues did remember your brother and his colleagues with a drink or two. I sincerely hope that you may, one day get your wish and celebrate your daughters birthday the way you want to.
Out of sight, but never forgotten.
