      I think Colour Sgt Brian Wood MC knows a bit about the real world of war, seeing as this movie is about him, when he led the first British Army bayonet charge in 25 years in Iraq. And as you can see he insisted on the battle scenes being as he remembered them. So pretty accurate i would say.

      Another veteran Mark B who was at the battle left this comment on the video
      "As the lead section commander during this attack I do remember Woody being an inexperienced,scared nipper and didnt get out and rush enemy positions by himself.
      He waited over 40 minutes until I arrived and had to be told what to do by myself.
      Looking at this drama you'd think he got out and done all that by himself and ordering the 2 others to attack and that's not true.
      He was ordered out and to take cover because his warrior was on fire.
      He would never have been awarded an MC if he hadnt walked into the RMP station 2 days later and doctored his statement.
      The guy was medal hungry and now publicity hungry making money and distorting the facts of the battle.
      I even watch other UA-cam videos of him telling his story how the ground around him was being ripped up by a 12.7 Dushka(Russian anti-aircraft gun).
      Funny that as not only wasnt one used there was never any recovered off the battlefield.
      The bloke is so up his own arse and full of bullshittery if it wasnt sad he was stealing others thunder it would be laughable."

      @@sam8742 Well Sam, i know for a fact that they go through the medal commendations with a fine tooth comb, i think one officer has been done for bigging up his own actions in Afghanistan and has had his MC removed. One soldier even refused his MC as he said it didn't happen as his officer said it had. So i would be careful putting too much store in complete strangers who say they were there, and even if they were, who knows if they didn't have an axe to grind with Wood. He has been on telly a lot over the years and i would have thought that if he was an unpopular bullshitter, it would have come out by now. So until someone who was there actually goes on telly or to the press and gives a full story deriding everything Wood says, i will just have to take Woods word for it.

This would mean the RMP being complicit in the lie. Plus the RMPs on site could have been guilty of negligence of duty, or perverting the course of justice.
