While I enjoyed Band of Brothers too, this feels a lot more closer to reality. Like @Alex Cano said, not for the "patriotic" guys.

A crude, and I think, very close to real, depiction of a small part of the machinery: higly trained soldiers in a war. Great production, likeable characters, good dialogues. Good overall. Definitely no to be put along other "patriotic" TV series, as is not the same breed.

This was bad ass.

This is terrible. I couldn´t even make it through the second episode. A bunch of kids pretending to be tough marines while most of them leaving the impression they couldn`t even tie up their own shoes. Stupid dialogue with constant repetition of the f-word in every second sentence as if there where a rule to do so. After just having seen Over There this shouldn`t even been mentioned with the same breath.

as a war veteran, this is the closest tv ever gotten to reality. They nailed 80% of the nuances and the politics of a grunt company
