Default Ross Kemp: is he actually a soldier now?

Is he now going to sort out the Taleban for us once and for all?

Para I believe

Anyway the first series was brilliant, put the true reality and horrors of what the armed forces and their families, have to put up on a daily basis.

Macintyre is now on Dancing on Ice, He used to do undercover investijurno things about gangs etc.
He now has to live with 24 hour protection.
Ross Kemp in Afghanistan was an awesome show, He was proper front line and he showed what its like to be under fire with nowhere safe to go, thinking "is today going to be my day"

Hats off to him, Now if he could enroll Phil and Peggy for some front line action and send Minty off to protect Macintyre he will be on his way to save the world.

The only thing he didnt have was firearms. I was thinking the same. If your clearing an area and Tommy Taliban pokes his head up I would'nt want my only weapon to be my soap opera acting skills.

Well I always though those were a bit wooden, so he'd probably be all right even after a direct hit.

He has been trained to operate, should the need arise for self preservation!
I understand he has E&E training too.

Ross Kemp is so hard, that he only needs to be positioned in a war zone, and the enemy surrenders!

Mmmmm so he has the right to use force to defend himself,but does not carry a firearm so am i right in thinking that if he needed to use such force he would have to pick up a weapon from say a fallen soldier or disarm a talabani and turn it on him?**** that id at least have a 9mm tucked away somewhere for a bit of close quarter fun

MacIntyre has been around since Ross Kemp was Albert Squares hard man squaring up to old Dott, he certainly isn't invading Kemps territory, if anything its the other way round.
But both do a fine job in my view

Then get your *** off of the end of your bed and get a new career. Bearing in mind it will take up to a year to train you to be a soldier, and then in your trade, what ever that may be, then up to 18 months per deployment training to get up to the required standard for that theater of operation. Easy, enjoy. It will be best thing you have ever done
