Okay,
After watching the TV series "Over There" for several weeks, I am hooked. (FX 10pm on Wednesdays.)
Being very, very old myself, I was wondering what any recent military types thought about this show. I know it is about soldiers and not Marines, but still wondering if this was closer to "real-life" than most TV shows. "Bad" commanding officers at the top seems pretty realistic. Some of the blogs I read also seem to parallel some of the story in the show.
Iraq2 is clearly a different kind of war. (i.e. not Vietnam, not WWII, not even Iraq1.) So this is not John Wayne or Charlie Sheen.....
Of course, as with any TV show they try to pack in a lot of drama into a single hour. I am sure many days are just sitting and waiting. It was made by the same producer as NYPD Blue, Law & Order, etc.
Anyone else watching this show?
