made for tv

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Christopher Bellamy (professor of military science and doctrine at Cranfield University) wrote:Quite why the Americans felt they had to drop 1,000 men by parachute 50 miles behind the front line in safe, secure, Kurdish territory to an airfield on which they were already landing helicopters is unclear.

It could only have impressed the Western media. There is no way it could have impressed Iraqis. The British Paras don't parachute if there is an airfield to land on, and some of them yesterday were not impressed, either. But it made good TV in the absence of much other good news.
