The Wire

Jock Wallace was a highly trained SAS soldier when he was sent to Afghanistan and found himself in the middle of Operation Anaconda, a top secret US attack on what they believed was the headquarters of Osama Bin Laden. The intelligence had got it very wrong and in fact the sodiers found themselves ambushed and outnumbered. They took heavy casualties. Wallace was one who escaped and has since been decorated for bravery. He said he lays no blame on anyone for the intelligence flaws that led to the situation and that soldiers do their duty and must remain apolitical and trust their political masters.
