Thanks for the ping.

I can understand Hollywood not getting it in some respects because day to day in most any field is dull. Most cops never draw their weapon; most troops never even fire theirs let along kill anyone.

Holloywood is drama and there isn't enough day to day so they compress events, make composites and even invent it.

But focusing on the aberrations, like the pot smoking troop in the opening scenes, the overt racist attitudes, or women on the ground and helping out in an attack just alienate those that have the slightest clue about real life.

Why do they feel the need to revive tired stereotypes?

Part of it is that they don't know their market or else they'd produce FOR that market.

And no, I don't think that anti-American anti-war activists are watching this show just to reinforce their illconceived, preconceived ideas.

Thanks for the heads up on this revies, mystery-ak. I don't plan on watching it after reading what these folks felt about it. By watching it I would be supporting the idiots who created it, and I just can't and won't do that. Time will be better spent writing a letter to a soldier, preparing a care package for them, and praying for them all.
