I thought it was great, kept me interested enough to watch all episodes. I don't think it's meant to hurt any people who served or serves for us, god bless you all. In my opinion it's just TV, not real life, I don't think it pretends to be either. No disrespect for our fellow man. Comparing it to Mash, we all know we watched it for the humor, but it did have its moments when we saw what it was like for the wounded, sad and tragic. Ron Howard is a great talent and I myself will continue to watch.
