The one line I did like from the show was when Sgt. Scream was esplaining why they werent goin to bomb or take the mosque.

"He said to the effect that there is an AL Jazera News crew in there with the enemy and some General 75 miles away is deciding how best to procede with out making the US look bad on TV tonite.  Bad PR is bad for the war.  Hell of a way to fight a war huh?"

There was one good line.

"We didnt come here for your oil.
We came here to kick your arse"

Hollywoodish yea.

But it IS after all just a tv series

Coulda been better. coulda been worse

Seemed to me the Army was portrayed as a bunch of unmotivated, untrained, draftees. Definately Hollywood. I walked after the first 20 minutes or so.

Unmotivated? I did'nt get that at all. I thought it was a pretty realistic cross section of a military unit. You have some slackers, some stupid, some squared away and some lifers. What about the wounded guy that wanted to get back to his unit?
I thought they picked it up a notch scriptwise.

yup I have to agree RPM.  I really liked this eppisode.  Especially the fact that they didn't try to gloss over the civilians getting killed yet they didn't make the GIs look like blood thirsty animals either.  Pretty good balance.

I think Erik Palladino is great as the Sgt.  Best role I've seen him play.

talk about the total slap in the face, disrespect to the country, you might as well piss on a flag while taking a **** on the constitution. that's about the ammount of respect a cheating wife of a service man is showing.

if you are to self centered, and without any bit of self control that you have to sleep around, GET A FREAKIN DIVORSE before the soldier leaves.

LOL watch out, you going to get a bunch of dudes that are going to try and justify cheating with, all kinds of BS reasons....

Cheaters are skum, men or women.

If you cant keep your word to the person you married you are a worthless ****.

ROFL remember i'm JB73, been there, done that, argued till blue in the face, seen the threads explode....

regular run of the mill cheating is a different subject for a different thread.

here though, showing and dramatizing a woman cheating on her husband who is risking his life for her very safety and freedom, well... i'll be the BS show producers try to soften it up and make her look like a victim or some BS. :mad:
