One of the most gruelling and horrifying roles in all military history was being a grunt during the Second World War. It was so terrifying, that at least 1/5 of all soldiers admitted to losing control of their bowels on the front line.

Al Murray, James Holland and John McManus discuss survival rates and American soldiers' attitudes during the war.
