Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jack Scotsman Storyline: A racially diverse group of 20 somethings from ghettos all around the U.S accidentally stumble onto an Army base and are quickly whisked away to the front line of Iraq to fight an inept group of photogenic middle eastern "bad guys". Given their utter lack of training they all start doing things they have seen on TV and in movies like give each other stupid nicknames and run into the open during a fire fight.I can't comprehend what is going on in this show. Truck drivers are being asked to attack fixed positions and run road blocks? Why? The Army has Military Occupational Specialties; much in the same way you would not hire a mechanic to run electrical wire in your home, the Army would not have transpiration play Infantry. Given the thousands of people coming back from "over there" this production company could have hired a few and made this P.O.S watchable.Source: Former Infantry Soldier.

neville-48 The is head-and-shoulders the best war drama ever, period. The plot of every episode is realistic and poignant. The final song, typically following the episode's climax, leaves me with a chill down my spine. Furthermore, the character development is very complete. We get a window into each character's strengths and weaknesses along with some background. I especially appreciate the focus on the families left at home and their struggles. Both my wife and I were mobilized into the U.S. Army and I can tell you that each show struck a chord with us. The folks left at home in many ways are called upon to perform more acts of bravery than does the deployed soldier. Bravo!

will nope OK first i would like to say that i love this show i bought the only season on DVD,as for the political aspect of the show i don't care, last i knew it was freedom of speech,so why did the show get canned..? if a show brings reality into your living room and you don't like it then change the channel or turn your TV off,i for one like reality and what the show was Showing us as far as the what the military was doing, i know that its not all real but think many people could not distinguish the two, my point is that there are a lot worse shows on TV now why are they still on ? is it because they don't have an impact on real life issues? do you think the government has to much to say about our rights as a nation and what we can and cannot watch i do. peace lostinboston

f-dehousse First rate script, first rate filming (which benefited substantially from the experiences of Saving private Ryan and Band of brothers), first rate actors. It seems to be a first for a TV series to provide such an accurate vision (sometimes very tough) of an ongoing war. The script plays admirably between the front line and the home front. It also shows admirably the extreme difficulty of a military intervention in a far away country with fully different cultural backgrounds, plus the language barrier. In an amazing way, it succeeds in presenting a balanced (and neutral) vision of the coalition's intervention in Irak. Both pros and contras will thus be disappointed. Should be mandatory seeing in all modern occidental armies.
