About this show

A clever and satirical take on life on the frontline for a young Iraq War veteran. A truly comic look at the troops in the Gulf from Gary McLintoch, a soldier who returns home from his tour of duty in Iraq to the barracks and offers unique insights into both worlds. Gary talks us through life on the frontline; the fight for hearts and minds; and why Iraqis love to hit statues with flip-flops. The sitcom series follows the camp tank commander on leave at home mixing interview, documentary style shooting and flashback clips to hilarious moments in the barracks.
