Wounded

I watched this via BBC I Player.
Compulsive viewing, but also very harrowing. I found the screen very blurry at times, maybe due to my paternal instincts playing up (I raised my children as a single parent), plus the fact that the lads in the programme are the same age as my own two boys.

It was great to see the camaraderie these young lads showed during treatment, and I even found myself clapping when the para took his his unsupported steps on his stubbies

The programme showed IMHO that our young lads and lasses are built of stern stuff, and we should and can be very proud of them in the way the conduct their lives (in conflict and peace), a far cry from the way this group are often portrayed on TV.

Well done to the BBC for this excellent programme (yes I did just actually say that)
