We are going to AFRICA!

"Can we see AFRICA yet?"

Why the constant chatter about Africa (the bloody great continent to the south of Europe).
Wouldn't a navigator (or pilot) speak of "Telerghma Airfield" or ALGERIA?
It just struck me as a sort of 'dumbing down', assuming the audience might know where AFRICA was but might struggle with Algeria?

These episodes are getting boring, briefing, take off, loads of shooting, exploding and fighters zooming past figures with goggles and facemasks (can't tell who is who, don't care really).

I'll give it a couple more episodes and I'm out.
Band of Brothers it is not

It's just woke nonsense across the board. Of course they have to include "Africa"

The most likely scenario.

Your average American WILL struggle with placing Algeria in North Africa.

Your average anyone who isn't a resident of North Africa will probably struggle with placing Algeria in North Africa.

I doubt Europeans wouldnt know in general that Algeria is North Africa. Not that they could pinpoint it (I couldnt), but you usually know its above Sahara.
