Soldiers die in war

Isn't this expected? Why is bbc 5 live acting like it's the end of the world. I feel for the families etc but lets get some perspective.

FTFY. No need to use spaces to avoid the filter in this case.

Don't bother. It's deliberate trolling by russell/kandr.

Much like his stance on 2 mins silence which differs each year.

And I expect nothing more than a controversial thread created only to provoke a reaction, go play with the traffic and leave us grown ups in peace

If you join the army it should be with the expectation that people will be shooting at you and trying to kill you and they will quite probably succeed.

Having said that I think that for many recruits this isn't the case. The choice is economic and they are somewhat missold as regards the risks. For that reason I think TV programs that show the other side of the coin are well worth having.
