friend just told me about this. can't believe this wasn't mentioned here, but it will be now.

i liked it. it's not as good as band of brothers mind you, but it has it's moments. what i find the best part of this mini-series is the dialog. lol, oh how i remember talking with my fellow section in such a demeanor.

IMDb summary:

A Rolling Stone reporter, embedded with The 1st Recon Marines chronicles his experiences during the first wave of the American-led assault on Baghdad in 2003.

it's pretty enjoyable if u like military shows.

also, the ppl who brought u band of brothers is making a new mini-series THIS year entitled, "The Pacific." can't wait for that!!!!

I read about this uh...miniseries? Never seen it though. Sadly, 2/3rds of the people I know that enlisted didn't... I'm not sure how to describe it. Emerge unbroken? Granted this clip doesn't necessarily reflect realtity.

Edit #2: Course I posted before the clip was finished

Great series. I checked it out because it was made by the same guy who made The Wire. Watched one episode in the morning and by the end of the day I had watched every episode back to back. That's something I never do.
