It follows the highly trained Marines of First Recon Battalion through the first 40 days of the Iraq war. Just finished watching the first three episodes. Hardcore. __________________ My JoeDios photos \| Flickr

There is also another dude that was there, but someone else is playing him and he has another role This one will be up there with Band of Brothers and Over there. To bad its only 7 episodes. __________________ Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special Olympics - You may win, but you are still retarded

It doesn't. The show has two technical advisers who were there and another Marine who plays himself and the whole thing was documented by an embeded reporter, so I think it's authentic as a TV show can be.

The best comparison I can think of would be the brutal action of Blackhawk Down and the accurate portrayal of Band of Brothers where they show the mistakes and the incompetent people right along side the victories and heroes.

Speaking of TV shows, it is a shame that Over There just got one season. I watched the 9th episode and it has solid characters and a hell of a good action scenes. Some drama too, but who can run from that?

I'll give it a chance for the 2nd. I hope there is some action. And Frank, did someone mention that you Marines looks all the same? Huahuahuahuahua! __________________ ADSUMUS
