I know its daft, but I can't watch the scene where those two Delta take on the licals without bursting into tears. I was still in the army when they showed the news footage of them carrying their bodies out like lions killed in a hunt. I think that operation was the last time the Yanks trusted India armed forces with anything.

John Mills could quaff though.Also John Mills was drinking real beer and they did that scene 7 times!
I once had a pint of Ice cold lager in a hotel bar in Africa towards the end of a long and sh*tty work trip. It would have landed me in a World of trouble if I'd been caught, which made it all the more satisfying.
We also got absolutely hammered in Dakar on the way back, but that's another story.
