Young Soldiers - BBC3

A series that follows four new recruits through basic training prior to going to Afganistan. All four joined the army because they couldn't find any other job which makes you think that with all the talk of cuts why don't we reduce the deficit by cutting back on our attempts to kill poor people around the world. Call me an idealistic old hippie but we could even spend a small proportion of the money saved on creating some jobs. On a positive note at least the talent pool of potential athletes for our paralympic team is expanding.
