CH4: Mark of Caine - Anyone See It?

[ratewhore]

When I first heard about the programme I thought it would be a typical liberal media bulltulip take on the thing. As it turned out, I thought it was pretty well done...

I was left wondering what it will do to public perception of the armed servics in Iraq/Afghanistan. Some of it reminded me Gestapo techniques.

I think it is a shame that while the reasons for going to war may be questionable (and I still do not agree it was right). Not all our soldiers go around absuing prisoners. We could have had a drama celebrating the heroic side of our forces.

PS As for that tw*t blasting away while shooting at Iraqi snipers! Was he listening when being trained in it's use. Small short blasts. What's the bl**dy point in any weopon when you've shot all your rounds into the air or the side of a building.

Yeah best to ignore it then expect others to adhere to it. If only the Iranians had treated out sailors so well.
