The show "Dogfights" a great show, but a bit biased?

[FOZ_1983]

Plenty of documentaries over here (uk) that specifically tells of our bad points, our failures and mishaps.

Were not proud of them but we have to at least aknowledge that these things happened without brushing them under the carpet.

Yes our nimrod fleet is messed up, yes our hercules transport planes are a death trap, yes our troops fight without sufficient armour or enough ammo, yes we got mauled in france and had to run away to dunkirk and get rescued by rowing boats, yes the americans beat us in the war of independence, the list goes on...

but how can we know about these thnigs if we are not told?

if we made out we were amazing and never did anything wrong then we would have a very self centred opinionated country of half wits who dont know right from wrong.


GRANTED they cannot put on the history channel "historic" fights between our troops and the taliban because the war is still ongonig and our troops are still getting killed along with americans. But many many years down the line we should be able to look at these things from both sides and understand and hold out hands up to our short coming in certain situations etc, some sort of documentary filmed from the taliban/iraqi perspective. Much like the "dogfight" show should show the great fights from both sides, not just the all conquering, always winning invinsible americans.
