this program first air in the uk about april last year ( 2006 ) and i sit down with a few friend and one of which be a major in the british army another be a ta officer ( uk equivalent of the national guard ) who serve in iraq during the initial invasion . all three of u have high hope for the series have be impress by the advert we have see on tv however the first action scene which take place behind a large mound be so comical all three of u couldn not help laugh and they where only get shoot at from one direction and where barely outnumber and not even out gun yet they be behave like they be all about to die . the acting be over the top and frankly awful and neither one of my friend with combined army experience of over 20 year who experience both gulf war have ever experience moment when their troop have lose their head at all during combat and no where near as much a the character in this show where . these be mean to be professional soldier and if this be something to judge the whole of the u. s. army on it no wonder be get no where in iraq . so in conclusion this show be cringe worthy at best so if you want a decent war drama steer well clear of this one .
