American soldier

Has anyone seen this new show on CMT? It is excellent!! It follows a squadron based out of Georgia, stationed in Kuwait. It follows them through thier day to day duties. I did not realize how much danger those convoys going into Iraq are in. It comes on a little late, but worth staying up for. :yay:

Actually, that would be pretty interesting I bet. Maybe like a documentary or something. It might get boring as a show. Sorry sailor. :lmao:

It would just be hours on end of us doing nothing, complaining about everything, playing video games, and way too much self-gratification. :lmao:

Now that you mention self gratification, I'm all for it. When does it air? :killingme

Not nearly enough of that in primetime.

You don't really want that.

I followed harleygirl's link and watched a 3 minute clip of the show. Pretty straightforward and honest.

Does Army PAO (who I am sure scrubs the video) know the message they are sending when the O-7 rolls up in the fully up-armored HMMV while every other soldier/marine has their bare azz hanging out or hidden behind rigged-up metal plates?

I'm going to start watching this. Way better than "Over There" with all the BS humanistic themes.

Anyone wanna borrow my copy of "Gunner's Palace" or "Bravo-two-zero"?

Yes, yes I do. I would definitely tune in. Hell, I would TiVo it.

It is a great show. It is filmed at the same camp my stepson is at. After watching what he does all day, I love and appreciate him even more.
