Revision as of 23:24, 18 December 2009
Occupation is the three part hour long TV mini series that aired on the BBC in June 2009. It stars James Nesbitt as Sergeant Mike Swift, Stephen Graham as Corporal Danny Peterson and Warren Brown as Lance Corporal Lee 'Hibbsey' Hibbs. The plot follows the three troops over the course of five years, from the 2003 to 2007, examining the affect the war has on each of their lives.
There may be spoilers in the descriptions and images.

M4A1
Replaces the SA80 rifle for many of the characters later on in the series. Seen in the hands of U.S Army members and other Coalition forces.
