The Unit
I just got through watching my first episode. What a crock of shit. But at least it ain't Latin American Idol (you guys think you got it bad?) or or that queer guy show.
They should fire their freakin' technical consultant...

Not Tabbed, but I do know that there have been quite a few Rangers that couldn't make it through the Pipeline!! Anyone have any stats on SF through Ranger School?!?!
This was not a knock on Rangers, hell, I was a Recon Squad Leader in A-Company 75th BEFORE the Batts were formed when I came CONUS after RVN-SOG!! Plus OUR heritage stems from the Rangers!! Just that the whole show, possibly thankfully, leaves the QPs in the shadows!!

The UNIT
Yeah I bought the whole series. Yep it's a terrible show but it's all hollywood..I actually prefer that they are putting out cheese on their tactics and acting. It gives the fans (there are a lot) something to enjoy without giving too much info away on how we do things. On a brighter note, the show does shed some light on what military families are going through. Will I watch any of the second season??? Nope, but many people will.

I used to enjoy JAG or Pensecola Wings of Gold... If you looked past the ridiculousness of the military parts of the show, there were some good looking women. That's all I can really hope for out of a primetime tv show about the military.
