The Choir | Military Wives Ep. 2 / 3 Pt. 4 / 4

In Plymouth, Gareth is overwhelmed by eager new recruits for his choir of military wives.

Choirmaster Gareth Malone has formed a new choir of military wives at RMB Chivenor in North Devon while their husbands deploy to Afghanistan for a six-month tour of duty.

The choir's first public performance was a triumph, singing to the local community of Barnstaple, and now Gareth wants his choir to spread and help wives on other bases across the country. He heads to nearby Plymouth, whose troops are suffering fatalities out in Afghanistan. Though Gareth is concerned whether singing in a choir can really help at such a sensitive time, he's overwhelmed by eager new recruits and organises a joint performance for his choirs to sing on Armed Forces Day on the Plymouth seafront.

Gareth must manage emotions that ride high as the two choirs struggle to combine, and then he has to persuade them they are good enough to spread their message further and sing together at Sandhurst Officer Training Academy to get the seal of approval from the military establishment's top brass.

@jaceybus A pipeline for the oil has been built in Afghanistan. Not desperate...just fact!

[jaceybus]

Ah, now you're getting desperate and therefore becoming careless. Since when has Afghanistan been an oil producer?

[80sLizzie]

Shame on me? Are you serious? Shame on me for knowing that the reasons you have just given are not justification for invading a country and murdering its people!?! In China infanticide is rife..shall we invade them too. No! Just the brown peoples countries..they have oil! Get real!

[jaceybus]

Well, I suppose then you have no objection to the women of Afghanistan reverting to very second class citizens under the Taliban. No education, no work, no freedom from the house unless accompanied by a male relative and then clothed from head to foot. I imagine then you have no compunction about the probability of their being stoned to death should they suffer the misfortune of being raped while the man merely gets a slapped wrist. Shame on you.

You can't really be this naive? The UN are merely the puppets who have to sell the war with the help of the objective media!!! Governments lie to the people where profit can be made from bloodshed. History shows that...Gulf of Tonkin?

[jaceybus]

Frankly Lizzie neither this nor any of your previous comments strike me as being tongue in cheek. An entrenched position is all very well when using legality as a basis for that position. In this case legality and legitimacy have been given by a Security Council mandate. If that were not so there's no way the present action could be sustained. Or do you consider the UN has no legitimacy either?

@TheGenevievepink No need to get personal. Remember the partners left behind do so of their own choice. The British military choose to be robots. The innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians had/have no choice. Why don't people have more sympathy for the biggest victims of this illegal war? If the soldiers thought for themselves instead of obeying orders they would realise that there is no justification for their illegal invasion. Ask the orphans if they are heroes and 'princes of peace!'
