Just watching this on Channel 5

I cannot believe how operationally sh*t the Yanks are.
When I did my bit for Queen and Country they were bad back then which is almost 20 years ago.

These cherries though are unreal I'm amazed they don't get slaughtered in fairly high numbers to be honest.

You compare these guys to the well trained and superbly operated drills by the Brits and you realise just how f*cking professional our boys are.

A lot of it is just staged for the cameras though, surely, and they'll be keeping some stuff under wraps for security reasons?

I think it is thought globally that British Forces are among the finest in the world and have been for decades, makes you proud

It was interesting. I though the little "robot" tracked driver was crap at driving the little vehicles - despite his assurance he needed to be the best.

I don't think the bomb over the bridge in the village was staged - too many actors for that. However the one by the container was weird and seemed a little too obvious for my liking.

I've not brought myself to watch that. Anything fiction is usually so far off the mark its unbareable to watch and just winds me up.

Ultimate Force for instance. Im not professing to be ex Hereford or anything daft like that but it was fairly obvious that programme was utter garbage!!

Yanks have always been "all the gear no idea" for every good one you meet there'll be a 100 bad ones around the corner.
