British Documentary on Capture/Kill Missions
 

Couldn't find this anywhere else; hope this is the right place.

Looking beyond the questionable name of the documentary (America's Secret Killers) and the probably uninformed discussion of classified units, I had the impression that this documentary might accurately showcase the many difficulties of conducting COIN operations. As a civilian, I believe to have gotten a feeling for some of the frustration our soldiers must face while conducting these operations/campaigns, as well as how often they might find themselves in "damned if we do, damned if we don't" scenarios.

Among the people interviewed in the production are:

- Gen. Petraeus
- Lt. Col (ret.) Jon Nagl
- Dr. Kilcullen

There are also interviews with various Taliban leaders/fighters.

Part 1,Part 2,Part 3,Part 4

I would be very interested in hearing the QP's comments.

maybe should have put this in General discussions....
 

QPs,

did any of you have a look at the video?

I am inclined to think it is rubbish for the mere fact that nobody has responded yet.

TTPs are neither confirmed nor denied in this forum. I doubt seriously any QP will answer what you are actually looking for in a comment.
