How soldiers deal with the job of killing

[JMA]

The BBC has this week been showing some harsh, Afghan combat film, taken by the soldiers themselves in 2007, called Our War and one episode to date. This is available on:http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode..._War_Ambushed/

David, powerful stuff. The case study here is one of how a totally raw 19 man platoon handled combat for the first time. Interesting to hear the dialog.

I would use this as a reason to promote my recommendation of having permanently deployed units where they have R&R out of Afghanistan rather than rotate the battalions through for six months every two years.
