Getting the basics right is non-negotiable in a so-called 'warzone'. I allow them a great deal of latitude wrt inner feelings about their mission, but as soldiers, they appear unprofessional on that show.
Don't take offence chum, you're not in the program! Those who are, appear to me to be a poor reflection on what the RAF is truly capable of. Yes, I have been away, 700 days on Ops, over a mix of desert, (both Iraq x 4 and Afg x 2), Balkans, and before you ask, NI, but only 20 days there.
I post not to denegrate the RAF, channel 5 is doing that more than efficiently, but out of pure frustration that I know there are far better facets that we
could display, but are not.
I am sure you are one of those.
