'SIMPLE PREMISE'
"Our simple premise was that for every young man or woman in harm's way in Iraq, there are husbands, wives, children ... back home worried sick for their welfare and safety," Bochco said. "And in the inevitable backwash of those separations and anxieties, you're going to locate strong, human drama."
Series co-creator Chris Gerolmo, whose previous writing credits include the film "Mississippi Burning," said one guiding principal behind the show has been "to treat the characters with as much respect as we possibly can."
That, however,
should not be interpreted as support for the war itself. "We're not writing about anybody above the rank of captain. We're not writing about policymakers. We're writing about the grunts," Gerolmo said.
Still, the program contains references to real-life events that have stirred debate.
In the first episode, a frightened soldier mentions the controversial roll call of U.S. war dead that aired on ABC's "Nightline" last year.
And a defiant Arab prisoner of war goads his U.S. captors by alluding to the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal.
I guess thats that
Let's see. Believe some show biz hype or someone who has been "Over Here".
I'll be home next week (for good)with a brick to hurl through the boob tube just for spite. During my last R&R I watched TV for about 10 minutes - what a load of horses&%@ coming from the screen.
Kill your TV. Get the "news" from other sources America!
Peace - to a point.
