Ahmad Chohan This is total one sided US GOOD GUYS crap all over again. There is no greater moral Compass than you guys. Maybe some reality in this show would've a better cover on the lies that've been told in this series. Wars are ugly but painting it like One side is just crazy animals and other is the Flock of Angles is total idiotic thing to do and leads to Years of more war.
haines403 These made for TV series do no justice to the reality of being in a war zone and never will,the poor acting adds to the feeling of the unrealism and characters that you don't care if they live or die due to having no likable characteristics. The cleanliness of it all and the lets be in church in our Sunday best and everybody looks like a soccer mom doesn't fit well to the whole thing,luckily the child with a bad foot who the Americans couldn't of wished for a more used character type to hobble over didn't take long to appear and neither did the well used stereotypical unfriendly locals the gunfire scenes were reminiscent of an episode of the a-team where the odds of winning the lottery were greater than getting hit by one of the 4 million bullets flying about,unfortunately after episode one i think the best thing to do is go awol and declare yourself a consiencious objector.
terry-98889 Any war story is difficult to sit through especially when it is based on real people and real events. Unfortunately this production suffers from weak character developments, cheap production, stunningly boring script. The "home" story is just plain dreadful and unnecessary (could they have hired worse actresses?.?). Sorry, but this miniseries is just not up to the usual Nat Geo level.
rogerplatttv After viewing part I and II, I found this to be a well produced contemporary war drama. In my opinion, the devoutly Christian aspect of the characters detracts severely from the telling of a good story. I am sure it will leave secular viewers like myself feeling like you do when your company softball team captain asks everyone to bow their heads in prayer before the game as if we are all "good Christians" or at least respectful heathens. Should I assume that Nat Geo is now the Christ Channel?
