Actually I was surprised at the candor and the realism of the presentation. It is not a glossed over presentation of the war, George Bush style.

And from what I see, it is going to be even more realistic in terms of the things that happen in war that we prefer not to think about.

Fox or not, in my opinion, it was great. That is my opinion. Everyone is certainly entitled to his own. I do think, however, prejudgement may be premature in this case.

Watch it, then critique it.

Yeah, that Hadji whose pelvis and legs continued walking after having the torso blown off by a 40mm... what realism!

I'm talking turkey moment of the year here...

What was this supposed to mean?

Gentlemen,

The intention of Wild Bill was to express his view on the fact that a war movie has triggered his creativity to design a scenario.

Whether the movie is real or fictionary, good or bad is not the issue.

So, I would like to kindly ask you to restrain yourselves from going into a flame-war.

thank you,
Pyros

The US Air Force neglected to train me in the use of any 'flame' weapons. So, alas, any such action on my part would likely cause more 'friendly' fire damage than that which might be caused the intended target.

Absolutely. THank you Pyros. I despise flame wars and would never consciously try to start one. Its just a scenario about seven young soldiers in Iraq trying to take an enemy position. That is all that it is. No political statement, no favoritism, just a battle to be fought.

Haven't watched the show but it was panned by every review I read as being totally unrealistic. For example, a trans company was assigned to go after terrorists (rather than infantry, one reviewer said this was picked to get females in the action, who knows?}. Troops had to wait a loooong time for air support. There was only one mortar that fired only one shot and then disappeared. Stuff like that. I suspect WB's scenario will be a lot better than the actual show.

And I always wonder about people who complain about Fox. At least this is one station that never used obviously phony memos just before an election.
