that helped fund this series. I was just watching the one about bringing the dead soldier home - and found it offensive & pro-military - are they all like that?
Admittedly, I did tune in late & others have said the beginning was more compelling...

Seemed to not be much more than a one sided view. Perhaps it got better, but there seemed to be no awareness of how much our troops are over-armed, over-stuffed with their body armor, and tech-gear, and arrogantly ruling a nation they have no business being in. It was sickening and I had no sense at all that the producers were at all aware of just how bad it looked.
