I downloaded a documentary on a Danish unit in Afghanistan, I will say they were fighters. Once when ambushed, they reacted instantly and killed several of the enemy. Being young men who had just beat their brush with death, they were quite excited after the battle and showed off their kills. One soldier was looking at five of the Taliban he had killed with one grenade in an irrigation ditch and said he was happy he got five of the bastards for payback.
The media being what it is, slanted the story and video showed back in Denmark to portray them as blood thirsty killers.
Agreed. It’s slanted against the good guys pretty much universally.
