Well its an exciting and different take on how troops deal with the environment they are deployed into. if an actual account of what the world of the soldiers over there is like that you want, then make your own TV show and show how it really is. some would prefer watching for entertainment, i also know its not fun and games over there, but we did volunteer, no draft remember,
it is a different look at things, is it factual, no, but lighten up, its mixed with some comedy and a little realism. sometimes you have to laugh so you dont cry. watch or not, there's plenty of crime dramas police shows and medical shows out there with carnage to watch and they are not factual either, but people still watch them too.
