Wounded - BBC Documentary Part 4/11

Documentary following the journey of two injured soldiers: 19-year-old Ranger Andy Allen who, in July 2008, had his right leg blown off and his eyes badly burnt by an improvised explosive device; and 24-year-old Lance Corporal Tom Neathway, who lost three limbs after moving a booby-trapped sandbag.
Unconscious and watched by their families they fight for their lives, but surviving their injuries is just the beginning.

I'm full of admiration for the soldiers and the families for agreeing to screen their stories.

I've a mate who went through the whole re-hab thing after getting caught in a VB-IED in Iraq four years ago. Although no where nearly as badly injuried as these two lads, the re-hab was a ball buster that lasted two years and ended his career.

Two lines in the paper about a soldier being injured doesn't really convey what the lads and their families go through.

stop sending people into fight wars. This could be your future son or relative in the next life. We can prevent more suffering by stopping fighting wars

I'm watching the whole series for the third time now and all I can say is thanks for posting it as I missed it on the telly. These two young men stand for all the wounded servicemen and women who made such tremendous sacrifices for their country. Hopefully, the price they've paid will be appreciated by the best possible treatment and help available from the government as well as the people in the UK, bless them.

@grimblebrumble17889 Intelligent answer. Yep thought you would prefer the arse, faggot. Prey tell, how do you reply to comments on a computer? Using telepathy? But again those are questions and you can't answer those can you? Oops another one for you to ignore you brain dead ignoramus. And best regards to your lovely mother or sister, whatever she is.

Woah easy tiger! I never mentioned gangs at any point fuckwit. And what is a drugs gang?? I wasn't aware that there were different kinds? If you go with your mates to the pub, are you a pub gang?

I meant the wee wankers that run about carrying some kitchen knife, thinking they're hard alright? Think they would act like these boys? Doubt it, pish their pants more like. Bit like you would if you came out from behind your keyboard fortress in your spunk stained bedroom. Cock.
