That's too bad--it looked like it might be worth watching.

Tony Snow gave a brief review of the program this morning.
It should like a typical hollow-wood rendition.
FX is bad about pc-ing newy topics.

I knew this show was going to be crap. It's trying to "Vietnamise" the Iraq war.
Also, let's face it, if it was true to life it would be about 18 hours a day of guys playing PS2 back at the base, and that's not good TV.

There's something very subtle here.
Note the headline "These Soldiers Say 'Over There' Is 'Bogus'". They emphasize that this story is an anecdote; that one particular collection of soldiers, having watched an episode, called it bogus. There's nothing wrong with that. That's fine, that's accurate, that's good journalism. Except for negative stories, the media always omits the qualifier. If the story is about a couple of returned soldiers who oppose the war, the headline is, "Iraq Veterans Oppose War." If the story is about a handful of Iraqis who are protesting the occupation, the headline is, "Iraqis Demand U.S. Withdrawal." They never, never use the headline to accurately portray anecdotal evidence when it paints the United States in a negative light.

What is interesting is that a Seattle newspaper reported this:
"Bogus" was the preferred adjective among the eight soldiers

The entire M*A*S*H* series was an Alan Alda podium for his own liberal anti-war, anti-military, anti-GOP and America-is-wrong-wrong-wrong-as-usual agenda.
This is more of the same Sleazywood crapola.
Sleazywood does this to make their own warped lives seem less warped. They desperately try to normalize their sick, out-of-the-mainstream life.
Doesn't seem to work....they are still FREAKS.

Hollywood inject trumped-up drama into real life? I'm shocked, shocked.....

How about this: Roadside bomb explodes. Humvee get hit. Wounded soldiers yells out. Buddies act like pros, one giving first aid and the others hunting down the cockroach who set off the bomb and capturing him.
I'd watch.

I had a feeling this one would be clunker. (The name "Bochco" was a clue.) Not surprised at all. We've already decided not to watch.

I refuse to watch this crap. Bochco can claim it is as "apolitical" as he wants, but anyone with a brain can see that it is obviously more propaganda aimed at breaking the hearts, eroding the spirits, and deluding the minds of the people back home about what is really going on "over there".
The truth is, it's probably both much worse and much better over there, and no crappy TV show can capture an ounce of what it is really like.

I wrote off watching this program from just watching the advertisements for the thing. This guy always overplayed EMS scenes so I would expect the same thing for his depiction of deployment.

It's set in Iraq, hyped as "true to life" by producers...How the heck would they know? BTW, that look on the face of the 1rst Lt. says it all.
