This is a parody of many rubbish action films and although it's clearly outrageous, it not so much more outrageous than some of the action scenes coming out of Hollywood.

It is obviously not meant to be taken literally and this is key to the British sense of humour (remember the video with Hugh Laurie as a Policeman doing "Leg Work"?).

In that sense it is more developed than some other comedy shows that contain "obvious" jokes, as this encompasses surrealism and parody.

On-topic:

I believe in open and honest debate - but in my opinion this video leads the viewer to believe that the vast amounts of money involved are PURELY being spent on killing and destruction (It chooses the word War over the word Occupation, it suggests what else the money could buy without mentioning exactly what it is being spent on).

In reality most of the money being spent is on security and infrastructure, which, regardless of the reasons and legitimacy of the war - are making that region of the world a better and more stable place.

The video does however highlight what else the money could buy if it were spent at home (in the US) - this must really shock American tax payers.

What goes around....

I bet health and safety had a field day!
