This is every bit as good as Band of Brothers.

This rolling stones rag hack job on our military has ZERO in common with BOB besides actors in military uniforms...

Love the miniseries!  Episode 2 is my favorite so far out of the first three.

Anyone else watching this?

Trombley zips the kids and camels w/5.56.  Godfather blathers and reluctantly evacs the camels.  'Tainted Love' builds the tension??   

Verdict is out, for now.  And yes, I'm a teen poster.

I missed episode 3 and for some reason HBO hasn't put it on "On Demand" yet. 

Anyone out there that has "On Demand" see it on there list yet?

I disagree. This appears to be a factual account of life as a Recon Marine at war. I base my factual opinion on the number of actual Recon Marines that are involved with the project and say it's accurate.

I don't understand your "hack job" stance. From what I have seen it is a spectacular job of writing.

To me everything is fine except for combat; it is horrible.
