BTTT Just watching this now fantastic prog but very sobering.

[staceyb]

This makes me feel like such a selfish person for not putting myself out there like the medics and the soldiers do. Very sobering.

[Gun]

Programmes like this always put day to day problems into perspective.

[Tuna]

Awe inspiring.

[muckymotor]

I hope Tony Blair is watching this.

[Dan_1981]

Superb program.

Hats off to all involved.

[monman321]

Truly moving programme, praise to all involved. Now watching women on the frontline, shows us all not all kids are chavvy wasters, as in times gone by many brave young men and women are Lions led by lambs for want of a better phrase.

I can't help but feel showing the duty mobiles of both the aeromedical evacuation control centre and the RAF brize norton ground handlers was a very very silly mistake to make

[Nicholas Blair]

Sobering and very sad very all concerned.

Take my hat off to all of them.

[sidewayz]

Agree with all the above. Remarkable documentary and very sobering.
Deep respects to the troops, extraordinary sacrifices on our behalf

Similar programme followed at 10pm on National Geographic. This was filmed in an American field hospital. Very graphic and sobering images. Again, many lost limbs. While the emphasis is on the killed, it's frightening how the injured are ignored by the media

[Chim Chim]

Incredibly moving program - this and the ITV Road Warriors programs have shown the "non combatant" side of the armed forces really well.

Meant to say that the footage of IED's was shocking - the first one looked massive, and the last one with the road lifting up in front of the vehicle was like some Hollywood blockbuster!

Very sobering and quite shocking when they went into what goes into an IED ie dog crap or just how many casulties are coming back. Like the guy said at the end, the media cover the coffins and not injured coming back.
These men and women are heros.

[Shaw Tarse]

I've recorded it, will be wathing later.

I do hope you aim your "lambs" comment at the politicians and not at the Forces' Officers...

I've seen the Aeromed guys work first hand; they're nothing short of amazing...
