Stop being so precious, boys will be boys,.... its no different to being glued to the TV/radio during times of global conflict or disaster, curiosity, morbid it may be, but death, destruction or as is the case here, violence, grabs our attention for sure.
This shows real ignorance..... RAF Regiment does regular mounted patrols right across the existing deployment zones.... they don't sit on the gates of Bastion smoking and generally having a 'good' war. A rock-ape was killed in the last week or so...... they are active, combat trained troops.
