Tonight, Sunday, Aug. 24, TNT airs the season-one finale of its post-apocalyptic military drama The Last Ship, which has already received a season-two pick-up.
[...]
Adam Baldwin (Full Metal Jacket, Firefly, Serenity, Independence Day, Chuck) co-stars as Chandler's second in command, XO Mike Slattery. The Illinois native is used to playing military types, and the Navy is apparently happy with how he wears the uniform in The Last Ship and with the show itself.
"They love it," Baldwin tells Breitbart News. "They were thrilled, and the funny thing is, you have a dedicated fan base, and a built-in fan base, from the Navy, because our goal was to portray the Navy as realistically as we could within the scenario and within our Hollywood creation."
Of course, if things aren't done up to Navy snuff, Baldwin and the producers hear about it.

Sorry, FRiend...my bad. But in light of the growing surrender monkey coalition on FReep, you never can be too sure where people's minds and b*lls are. I told one long-time FReeper today that I was a "fighter, not a doormat", to which she told me that could be "trained out of me". Yeah. Kinda took me by surprise. There are a lot of "new castrati", as Rush calls them, on this forum these days.

Honor, God, Country. A little cheesy, but interesting.

Late to the party, and only limited time to post...
Bratch said "It shows respect for the military and portrays the crew in a decent and honorable way."
The way I read it - vpintheak was saying the SHOW ITSELF was cheesy, NOT the virtues of "Honor, God, and Country". As in "The show's a little cheesy, but good."
vpintheak, do I have that clear? I think that's what you meant.
Sorry to do a drive-by, my most honorable Dawg Pound companions... I have been absolutely FRIED at work, and have had little time to do any posting. Saw the other two "surrender monkey" threads as well... They're comin' outta the woodwork, folks.
Is it possible.... just a teeeeeny bit ... that ol' Alex has multiple screen names?

I don’t think he’s got that much mental capacity, especially in the evening after his daily bottle of wine at the beach; he would have slipped-up long ago. In Vino Veritas, and all that.

Yeah, I have been corrected. I'm familiar with the FReepers to whom I posed the question, or their writings in the past, and would have been surprised if they were saying Honor, God and Country were cheesy. I'm grateful to have been wrong.

No worries. You can always count on me to be a conservative, independant ,non-conformist, Alaskan! I may not agree with everyone here, but I’ll be doggonned if I am going to have anything trained out of me either! Only the Good Lord can do that!

I mean the show itself is a little cheesy. The principals of God, duty, honor, and Country Never go out of style!

Yes, I figured that was your point, friend.

FRIED is better than FIRED.
Unless we’re talking about a grill, then firing the grill is always good...
