Part 4 was on tonight. Excellent again.

There is one thing I would like to mention from tonights episode. 7th Platoon is interviewd after it lost three of it's men in a blue on blue incident where a US air strike killed three of 7th Platoon's men while in battle against the Taliban. None, absolutely none of the soldiers interviewed over the incident had a bad word to say about the US air support. None of them apportioned blame to the US. "**** happens" and "this is war" were the common lines and they said that without the US air support things would be a hell of a lot worse. It's only the darned media here in the UK, doesn't matter be it the Sun or any other paper, that beat up on the US, so as to try and make it look like they are supporting the British boys. What a load of crap.

While I'm at it I have to say that I am getting sick and tired of the massive burden that the US, Britain, my Australia, and Canada are taking in Afghanistan. There are quite a few NATO nations that aren't pulling their bloody weight in Afghansitan.
