which reinforces that the soldiers' version was more creative and more heartfelt. (As well as a testimony to the fact that war is huge stretches of boredom interspersed with terror.)

Until one evening I wanted a laugh so put on "I'm on a Boat". He came out of his room to tell me how often they watched and really enjoyed that in Afghanistan.
