Amazing stuff, most war documentries go for at least an hour, going by that it would take longer to learn about this conflict than participate in it!

I know that no war is comical but to charge Zanzibar for the shells used is typically old military school and government
Hi Dave,
Funny old time wasnt it, not much has changed has it, the government still charge the earth for everything even these days.
