  • As long as it's the other guys head exploding. I like verbage that excludes words like murder the mother or kill the coke-sacker. It sounds much nicer to say "Cleared to engage".

  • That was a good series. It was over pretty quick and the ending of the show was kinda weird. But that dude with the acog is a vampire now...

  • Nam My%u014Dh%u014D Renge Ky%u014D chanting during the first shot. Nichiren Buddhism is the Scientology of the buddhist world.

  • Nichiren Buddhism is the Scientology of Buddhist thought.

    Nam My%u014Dh%u014D Renge Ky%u014D chanting during the first shot is laughable. Is this supposed to give the impression the sniper is a lotus petal?

  • It's a great miniseries. No unbelievable heroics or seemingly magical killing abilities, just realism. Made by the same guy that made The Wire. Based on a book by a guy embedded with the First Recon Battalion as they invaded Iraq. The guy was embedded for rolling stone and wrote a great series of articles:

    Fun fact: the spotter was a real marine in the battalion that Evan Wright was embedded with. He was brought on board as a military adviser but eventually was cast to play himself on the miniseries.

  • You know. knowng this series was produced by HBO films I thought I'd give it a chance anyways. So, I went out and rented the DVD series. Must say, HBO did not disappoint me in the least. It was the same ol' tired left wing anti-military BS. It was full of anti-American imagery. The gung-ho types were typecast as a bunch of incompetent redneck, trigger happy, baby killers. The "thoughtful" marines were of course the heroes of the series. Even had a shot of a Marine reading Noam friggin Chomsky for Christs sake!

  • looks like a good show, but they messed up the shot as seen through the snipers scope. His optic was shielded not fully open like the camera shows.

  • They missed to show one thing of the reality.

    The goofing around and hollering.
