I have seen every episode so far and love it, I read the book 2 years ago and have been really looking forward to this series. So far it is living up to the book and the hype. definitly worth watching, but I suggest you read the book for the real perspective. Its a great book.

I watched episode one last night. Man, how do you guys keep up and understand what is being said? I understand from 17 years in the military, but keeping up with the military lingo if I wasn't a Marine would drive me bananas. I tried to watch it as if I didn't understand the military and I was like...DAMN! That is a LOT to take in!

But Watching it from a Military Veteran standpoint, MY God, that crap is funny....and although I doubt all if it is 100% true or 100% accurate, it was very realistic! I'd say 75% to 85% worth was right on the money! I was cracking up when they had to have the reporter go to the PX and buy them batteries because they didn't have enough for their NVG's (Night Vision Goggles). Stuff like that DOES happen. And the guy marching around like Hitler behind the Sergeant Major showing off his short mustache had me rolling! LET A SERGEANT MAJOR IN THE MARINES SEE YOU DOING THAT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS! But it was funny!!

If you guys are watching it and you don't understand an acronym or something, don't be afraid to ask. The one that they kept coming up was LOD, it means Line Of Departure, where you leave friendly line and are now in enemy territory (or "Indian Country" as we say).

It's true. Troops need big numbers on their uniforms like football players so we can pick them out. (Sniper spotter: "Shoot the guy with the number 1, he must be important.") That's why I find war movies improve each time you watch them, it gets easier to recognize who's who.

I think I missed this one. Did you see a picture of our Marine Frank (ender098)? If youdon't, you can't know what I was meaning.

I've seen a picture of him, but now I definitely have no idea what you're talking about.

Have you had a chance to see the second episode? Curious if you like it more once the action kicked in.

It is heating up. I like more action that what was shown, but the action we get is better than nothing. it wasn't a Rambo 4, but it goes .
