Howay 12460 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've been watching this series and so far it has been very good, up there with his series about gangs. I think it is also good that Kemp doesn't bother putting in any of the politics and debates he simply is trying to give us insight into what the soldiers are experiencing. Just wondering if anyone else is watching it, I think the first two episodes are on youtube as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 He's living his fantasies and looking like a complete tosser in the process imo. Â How those soldiers can take him seriously after Ultimate Force is beyond me. Â Had an RPG go over his head the other day and he visibly shat himself, fair enough like but you can't have people like that in a warzone. Surely it'll hinder the real soldiers having him and his crew around constantly soiling himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Saw one of these the other day. It was shit. Mind, I thought 'Ross Kemp on Gangs', which loads of people seem to rate, was shit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RlCO 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 He was certainly doing the politics in the second one. Â It actually made me think, the army needs some good old fashioned political officers, like the Red Army. Basically we're trying to train the soldiers to be politians and diplomats, while the foreign office are nowhere to be seen in the war zone.

Howay 12460 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) The MoD just sent me a lovely letter informing me my details were among those stolen from the MoD laptop, they say their security fell way below their high standards and say sorry a few times, great can't see owt happening with my details but I'll be right fucked off if something does.
