This is so sad with the benefit of hindsight. As I write this, the Taliban are back in control of Afghanistan and these lads risked, even lost, their lives for very little.

Wow, the talk on the subject of dying in war seems awfully skimpy. I hope it was edited and there's a bit more to it than that!

Why am I being tested over and over again? He was in fact a good grandfather, after learning a thing or two about PTSD and flashbacks. He was not a mysoginistic one. As a kid I didn't understood what triggered him. He made us things to play with, and he was still under the trauma...he bearly had a childhood. When he would find a toy thrown away, he'd give it to me.

When I got out of training, in the US Army, I had 3 weeks, just 21 days before I was going to Iraq for, at the very least, a year. I WISH my deployments had only been 6 months

They had to stop using the word "Oscar" which is why they just became known as "Gotchas". I'm guessing that's why "Oscar" became "Award" at 2m 10s

probably the best thing i have seen the bbc produce in decades, this is reality and this is what the public should be shown, not the x factor and all the crap that is on tv. i served with the devon and dorsets before the amalgamation, it was sad when it happened but seeing this means it's still going on, hopefully the lads will go far.

Yes for the job these guys do and the danger they face, they get paid too little while athletes are multimillionaires. Same with the government, they are very rich and they can decide what war they will interfere in and get these guys potentially killed or injured or in bad way mentally. Same with police and firefighters any rescue workers, they all paid next to nothing to die, while the people that do nothing are rich and safe

I was a nine year old boy when my old man was first deployed, ten years old for the second deployment and eleven for his third, to the war in Viet Nam. I joined up when I was fifteen and a half. I understand, only too much, what these lads and their families went through. My great grand dad served in the AIF in WWI, my grand dad in the RAAF in WW2 my dad in Viet Nam, me in the "Cold War". Now, in my seventh decade on this rock, I understand the futility of war, the harm it causes to families, to friends to communities and to countries, no matter to whom what community or country one belongs. And so it continues ad infinitum. War is a crime against humanity.
