| User ReviewTim PA great portrait of the chaos of war, as I remember. Very disturbing and confusing for the 13 year old I was when I saw it. Just remember the screams. |
| User ReviewMatthew LFantastic movie, that real soldiers will appreciate, especially the Brits, Aussies and Kiwis. This video was a bastion of the guardroom when Recce Troop were on stag. There's so much of us in the video - character names, look-alikes and great quotes to recite in the field. What can you set your watch by? |
