Hi OHP 51M
Ref your last posting about the heads up, "YOU WERE JOKING WERN'T YOU":confused::confused::confused::confused:

Good evening Spit,

;) :p :) :ok:

Another excellent BBC production on Afghanistan ops.

I can only hope that the human face of UK plc operations so touchingly shown rubs off on the majority of the population who have no real idea about ops in Iraq or Afghanistan and the effects that they have on the troops of ALL services and specializations.

Good programme. V.good programme.


In the footage taken by the grenadier, was it me, or could you see the munition (looked like Paveway) before it hit?

The reminder of the amount of casualties was poignant indeed. Good footage of troop mentality and the lethargic grinding pace that firefights sometimes have.

Respect......total respect.
So many daily "problems" pale into insignificance.

I heard radio 2 discussion recently on what are troops are going through at the moment. The times I heard idiots saying words to the effect of " that's what they joined up for" " they shouldn't be whinging because they knew what could happen" etc. I couldn't believe some of it. Selfish barstewards. Hope their investments dissapear and negatvie equity blights them as that's all they understand.
I almost long to come across ignorance like this so I can give them the bollikcin of their lives. :ugh:

Respect and good luck.

Humbling :(

Noticed the (always a civvy) significant-other sobbing when Tottenham L/Cpl mentioned 3 weeks to go.

Good informative programme making, hopefully enough folk will have watched it to have it discussed at the water cooler/coffee machine in their offices tomorrow.

Very good programme, one of the better Panoramas. If you missed it it's here for the next week.

Good show indeed and in keeping with the Chaucerian title can we now expect: 'Afghanistan - the Airman's Story' with lots of footage of CH47s in clouds of dust while shooting up LZs and even more pictures of GR9 guys delivering bombs to order and of course the mighty Albert bravely slogging back and forth not to mention the Airbridge and the C17s - oh and the FP guys at KAF and movers at KAF and KIA and ...

Great stuff its time Joe Public got to understand more of what we're all up to every day.

What a powerful and humbling programme. They all deserve our utmost respect in what is quite clearly a most difficult situation.

I just hope that the politicians understood what was going on and will give more, much much more, support to these guys and girls. Bloody depressing for me, God knows what our soldiers feel.

God speed guys.

Cracking programme, Respect is due to all on the ground and ALL those in the air looking out for them!....

Already been done, BBC's program One Life, 'Above Enemy Lines' aired back on Oct 19th. If you missed it, you can see it all on YouTube here...

You'll have to look on the second page for it as the person hosting it has rather a lot of programs that you can download.

Great Programme!
 

I served with Maj David on his first tour in Afghanistan. What a great bloke and the programme did him justice.

If you read this Martin:

It seems that our Thursday night 'appointments' with the Carabinieri in the Commonwealth Tent prepared you well!!!!!

Well Done, mate!

Careful mate you sound a little bitter in the latter half of the post! As Pilot Pacifier said, it has already been covered recently about the Chinnook guys. They (The BBC) cannot make documentarys about everyone. Remember, out in Afghanistan and Iraq, we are PURPLE. Everyone is in the British Military, fighting for and supporting the British Military. As an SH pilot of many years, I was proud to see these men tonight on Panorama.

Good Drills Boys, and a very rare (from me) thank you to the BBC (second time in a month!!!):D:D:D:D
