Twilight2000V3 07-29-2005, 12:53 AM Mixed feelings......


1) Its TV so it has to be entertaining


2) Equipment innacuracies


3) Stereotypes


my 2 cents

Matt Wiser 07-29-2005, 01:00 AM I saw it as well. It seemed pretty good, but remember: this is Hollywood

and you won't get everything right. What I'm wondering is what are those two

gals doing in that unit? I presume they're there to help with raids and checkpoints where you'd encounter Iraqi women and the need to search them.

Twilight2000V3 07-29-2005, 10:01 AM From what I got they were motorpool and got lost or something like that. One is a driver the other a mechanic. I've got the episode TIVOed so maybe Ill watch it again.


From what I understand DOD did not want anythign to do witht he show..... I wonder why.


They were using British FV438 (?) APCs as M-113s.... I KNOW they could have gotten a real 113. That set me back a little.


THe only thign that REALLY go tme was the stereotype characters. THe PFCs remind me like they are straight out of basic, not even AIT just basic. Or non-seasoned reserve/NG guys.


My 2 cents
