Its bollox,it would be laughable if it hadnt been the Beeb who made it, on sky they have an actor who has the balls to go out to afghanistan, reports truthfully and fairly, we have an American Micheal Yon who needs donations to write excellent and to the point interviews and thoughts.

The BBC hires someone who hasnt a clue, and we're fecking paying for this shite, bollox im driving the arrse bus.

BBC obviously tonight stands for Bollox Balls and Cnuts with this type of crud they have decided to put on tonight - bullying .... yeh right when is is going to start??

Complete and utter bollocks! What a stirring little shit, i'd make him see out his fecking contract, but i wouldn't want him standing to next to me

I haven't seen ANY bullying yet

Unbelieveable. The people who have said they were beaten were not convincing either

"oh, it was in the toilets"

Yeah right

Garbage

Has the journalist been discharged, can't watch any more of the prog for reasons stated by others. Surely he can't remain in the forces now, what he has done must be against military law, official secrets etc?

I didn't see it happen but...

This really is scraping the barrel TV. Not wot I expect from the BBC.

The only racist thing I have seen on this is from some of the recruits. The JNCO near the begining of the program mentions the Army is a racist organisation but it is changing and it is their (the recruits) job to change the balance. To me that seems a positive?

Hopefully we can see the reporter doing his next investigstion in Afghanistan? Maybe he will see why the training isn't three hours of Kerplunk and sitting on scatter cushions for a few weeks.

As has been said, some of the alleged bullying mentioned by the recruits seems to be dealt with in the appropriate manner. But again, its all alleged and not proven but is apparently being investigated.

He is highlighting a recruit shouting 'die paki' whilst bayoneting. He is making it appear it is a sancitoned and approved Army method suggesting it will appear on the recruits passing out video. What would be nice would be to actually see if it was included or not. I'll bet a days flying pay it was not....but I guess the fuckwit wont mention that?

The Platoon without a name? That was clearly identifiable in the video footage, and by cap badges and badges on uniforms?

I find it hilarious that he's found some extreme examples of unacceptable behaviour, that were then sorted by the Army's internal discipline network. The biggest non story of the year.

BBC scum.
