Exercise your freedom of choice and don't watch that crap.
I've seen all three episodes so far, and it's already starting to grate my nerves.
Agreed.
Its not like people are going to track down and sanction leading Hollwierd lefties.
I simply don't tune in to their TV and rarely go to the movie theater.
The Commiewood Left is the propaganda arm of the enemy within.
Of course if a liberal leftist watched "Saving Private Ryan" they would think WWII was another Vietnam. War is war is war.
I saw a 30-second coming attraction and KNEW it was gonna be a bunch of leftist bovine feces.
Ratings for the show dropped more than 30% from first episode to second. If you want to see it, better catch it fast.

And he likes our guys, you can tell.
As M*A*S*H taught us, Vietnam was Korea all over again.
I haven't watched it, and I don't plan to either.
I figured it would be a propaganda crap fest, and now you are pretty much confirming that.
Sorry you had to sit through that, but thanks for posting it.

I had all I could take in three minutes.
I saw an interview with the producers before this show came out. Of course, the interviewer got it out of them that the show would be non-partisan. Considering the show is on a Fox network, I thought, maybe just maybe, they'll be fair.
I must be losing my friggin' mind, I should know better than to ever believe anything these people say.
Once, my wife remarked that she was surprised to learn that some celebrity was a leftist. I gave her this advice, "any time a face appears on your TV screen, assume that person is Leftist unless otherwise notified."
I sometimes fail to heed my own advice.
I watched it last night for the first time and it's better than your average TV, but that's not saying much.
It had to do with a captured terrorist who an officer thinks knows the whereabouts of a truckload of stinger missiles. One solider tells the others there will be no close air support until the missiles are located.There is a subplot about an injured soldier at a US hospital who lost his leg and is trying to wean himself off of morphine.
One soldier appears to be troubled about the interrogation tactics (all legal BTW) and Abu Ghrab is mentioned. Eventually the officer brings in the sister of the prisoner and threatens to turn her over to the Pakistani security services who will beat and rape her daily. There is a fire fight that seems a bit lopsided and the entire squad is pinned down by two terrorists on a roof top out in the open. Eventually they are taken out in an airstrike.
The terrorist gives up the loacation of the missiles, a farmhouse, but only tells the location if the officer promises not to kill the farm hands who dont know what is really being hidden there. The rest of the soldiers seem to have no sympathy for the terrorist and several in fact suggest he be tortured for information.
The final scene is the farm hosue, we see the farmers walking around, innocent enough looking. Then we see another young terorists carrying an AK-47, possibly the brother of the captured terrorist. He walks into a building witha canvas flap for a door (there is no way the farmers dont know what's there) and we see piles of missle containers. The last thing we see and hair is the roar of jet engines and the imagery of some type of targeting system and something very large targets and destroys the farmhouse.
So its's pretty unbelievable, not too biased, but just silly. They are so worried about the missing missiles, so instead of raiding the farmhouse to see if the missiles are accounted for, they blow it up in an airstrike?
I don't think so.
Well .. you're stronger than me .. I lasted 5 minutes and I knew it was a bunch of bunk!!
seen this?
The only show on F/X that I watch is "Rescue Me" for it's truly off the wall dark humor, but I skipped watching this one, because even the previews gave off an "Abu Ghraib=America Bad!" smell. Not suprised to say I'm not surprised this is correct.
