So did anyone else watch it? There’s been a load of these short ‘soldiers perspective’ type documentary series on recently but this one seemed to push things a bit further and in some ways was a bit of an own goal IMO for the military. Troops cheering over killcams is something I think everyone knows happens but not sure it portrays them in the best light. The 30mm bullet comment was pretty witty in a grim kind of way though…
I have to say though the thing that amazed me the most was they seemed to routinely be using hellfires to take out single target enemy (on foot). I mean wth, surely that’s not just massive overkill but a waste of money. A burst of 30mm rounds would have the same effect, I guess range is the main reason to use a guided missile but there’s not a lot of threats to an Apache at 30mm gun range out there.
