I watched the pilot and the second episode, First of all soldiers dont talk like that...its soooo hollywood script cliche crap, Zingers, perfect observations and replys.. but fun to watch, second, not alot of action or sets, lots of military hardware and sand, maybe tonight, the 3rd episode will pick up...these iraq shows seem to be the same, lots of driving around in the desert waiting to get shot at or blown up...maybe thats the point. I work with some vets that where in Afgahnistan and Iraq in both "wars" they all admit it didnt make sense and was really scary at times, lots of praying going on...This show needs a few sub-plots to make it more interesting, HBO usually has cool shit, cept for John from Cincinati, what was that all about anyway, a bunch of actors from deadwood doing the same type of dialouge but very hard to get into or enjoy, kept waiting for the explanation or pay off but it never came, Flight of the Concords was funny though! bring back DEADWOOD, that was interesting, character driven and well written, like Shakespear of something...DR.
