    Im in no doubt it will be repeated, go to nat geo website uk/ire for times. More than likely this week it will be on again.

    I see nobody has mentioned The War Tapes yet.

    It's about a national guard unit that got deployed into the area around Fallujah just before it all kicked off in 2004. Three soldiers took cameras with them as part of the project. What I find interesting about it is that it shows a very profound change in their personalities by talking with them and their family members pre/during/post deployment.

    Indeed it is!

    Just watched Armadillo. Its quite moving in parts. Not overly sanitised as some other docs ive seen. quite surprised in parts that the danish military allowed some of the footage. But im sure more was in fact taken out specfically in later combat action.

    +1 just watched Armadillo. Powerful stuff.

    That room breach was somewhat stilted? Were they meant to be going hyper slow for demo purposes, or is that just marshals style ?

    I looked Route Irish up last night and from the trailer it looks really good, and then while sitting on this doing my usual boards browse with the tv in the background it just came up saying Route Irish is now being shown on Sky Box Office :p Looks like I'll be watching that tonight :D
