Inside The Green Berets on NGC
Inside The Green Berets on the National Geographic Channel premieres June 3
9p.m.
http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...ets/index.html
In a remote outpost in south-central Afghanistan, a group of Americans stand in the breach between the rule of law and the rule of terror. They are Green Berets, part of an elite division of the U.S. Army Special Forces, charged with protecting local civilians from the wrath of the Taliban. For this film, the Pentagon waived their 48-hour limitation on embedded media and allowed NGC cameras to chronicle the lives of these war-hardened Americans for 10 days.

Given the restrictions imposed on the camera crew, and the unforunate events which took place, I believe they did the best they could. Obviously, if that attack hadn't happened, you would have had a more indepth and educational program. However it did drive home the point that there is no status quo, and how things can go bad at a moments notice.

Well, when you open fire remember what point of view you're shooting from.

I thought that it was okay, but they provided info that will be of value to the enemy (which we will not discuss here), and that it would have been nice if they had continued to follow the team further and report on their progress.

You are being very polite. To begin with I thought it was an OPSEC disaster. The rest of my comments I'll keep to myself.
