Ross Kemp , Sky 1 spending a year with the Royal Anglicans , learning to use a weapon and standing in 40 degree heat while a dead soldier is repatriated and is carried on to a plane to make his last trip home , The question was asked how did you make it feel , very sad was his reply , in the film shown jsut before he says "its all too real".
A brave man who has faught for his country and paid the ultimate price for his country and all this while the goverment let our country go to ruin , unable or unwilling to sort out our postal service , unable or unwilling to sort out our immigration problem , while these guys fight for thier lives on foriegn soil which is not really our war.
BBC ceefax today had an article on one of it pages saying the Americans have lost 55 soldiers in afganistan this month alone and the month is not over yet , 11 today in explosions , A waste of life in a war where we and the Americans are an invading army and in a war we will never win.
Ross Kemp used to be in Eastenders and played Grant Mitchell , but this is a far cry from playing a hard man on a television show , this is real learning to use a weapo and told that YOU WILL USE IT , if you are the last man standing as you will not want to be taken prisoner by these guys who you are fighting.
Its the first of 3 episodes tonight , I dont think he is trying to glamourise war but he is showing it how it is real , nasty and dirty.
He is the type of man who in the first or second world war would have gone to the trenches and watched what was happening and put his life on the line so the people at home could read the real story.
Fear is what these me and women must feel it is a fear that i hope I or anyone i know feels and a fear that i have no envy of for these people who are out there fighting for thier lives , but one thing I do have is the ultimate respect for anybody who does this.
