Soldiers in Afghanistan!
Even though we are constantly bombarded within the media about the chaotic War in Afghanistan, reporters never truly reveal the ins and outs of what is going on out there. For 9 years soldiers are being shipped out to this War zone and the number of deaths and major injuries are dramatically rising every day, without us at home even realising it. We see many films being created about this War such as Jarhead and Hurt Locker however, our questions still are not being answered as these films only show the main characters defeating the villains and ultimately ending the War, however, in reality this is far from true, maybe to protect society from the horrific truth of the Afghanistan War, yet we still have the right to know.
Nonetheless, there is one show that manages to provide this source of information we all desperately seek… Ross Kemp in Afghanistan. So excellently created we see the true aspects of the War on TV and how bad it is effecting the soldiers out there, not only physically but mentally, as these terrifying images we watch safely in the comfort of our own home, they are bombarded with every minute of every day.
271 British soldier deaths so far and 1062 soldiers wounded in action. Makes me wonder if all these deaths are worth the overall victory. Not only do we see this large number of physical damage, but also mental conditions brought 
about by the horendous days these soldiers must go through. Almost 4000 staff are diagnosed with a mental condition every year yet only 115 personnel have been compensated over the past 3 years. We are very rarely exposed to the truth of how many soldiers actually become phycologically disturbed from the War which creates a huge problem in the future for these men and women.
Overall, society maybe constantly reminded that the War is out there, but we are never truly shown what these soldiers go through every day with such a low wage that certainly does not cover the dreadful objectives of their job. Here is a preview of the documentary Ross Kemp in Afghanistan to emphasise my point that the media should be exactly like this:
