As a former member of the 82nd I was wayyyyyyyy underwhelmed at what i saw, i too will give it a couple more watches , hopefully the acting and tactics as well as an unbiased look at the war will develop.

Hoping this is on topic....

Always wanted to poll fellow vets about realism in TV and/or cinema.
Best/most realistic movie about my contemporaries IMO was "84 Charlie Mopic".
The dialogue was spot on. Beaucoup. There it is......

Anybody see it?
I'm a former infantryman from 25 years ago, though not a combat vet.
I saw 84 Charlie MoPic.

Yah, it was pretty good.

But overall - all I can say to anyone is I can't even stand to watch 90% of the crap made today. So all I can say is...."What the hell did you expect?"

B - out

I cannot be bothered with ths show any longer...there are too many real soldiers dying in Iraq right now, that I'm in no mood to watch a bunch of overpaid actors play out this war on TV.....I guess for me the timing is just wrong whether the show was good or not.....
