3. how many US Soldiers have been tortured by Iraqis?
I just watched the first couple of minutes and this soldier in the Hospital in Germany is flashing back to being tortured by black masked "terrorists".

9. The implication was that was how he lost his feet
so it was a nightmare/flashback to how it happened. That was how I saw it.

11. I figured that
but why the hell a sequence of him being tortured? You would think the reality would be dreams of explosions, shrapnel, blood, bodies. Not torture. It made no sense.

Sometimes, it takes a few episodes.

4. Now that I think about it
If we had a real media in this country that actually showed the carnage that is Iraq, they would not have to make this shit up for a TV show.

I think I will turn the channel.

:(

12. Maybe this will help folks to see the truth
I haven't given up on it yet. Yeah, it's sad it's gotta be this way, but if a few people watch this show and it changes their minds about the carnage, how can it hurt?

7. Watching here ... in the ATL
First time to view the show.

Very sad, so far. Can't help but watch, but hope it doesn't further make me hate Bushco. Hope it can open some people's eyes that waris not glamorous.

I also truly hope to understand what exactly all these people think we are accomplishing.

14. I knew watching would lead to some understanding
did you hear that Arab say-Fighting the Americans is like 1960's.
Being a hippy and learning about Woodstock. You just had to be there.

How interesting
