Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Philip A. Stephenson

Stark and emotionally resonant.

Baltimore Sun David Zurawik

An illuminating and powerful viewing experience.

Kansas City Star R.D. Heldenfels

An admirable but short-lived series and makes us wonder what might have been.

People watch TV to escape, but it seems very few people want to escape to an ongoing war, so the ratings suffered. It's a shame because this show was great.

I applaud its creators for a sincere attempt to shed light on the war, but can't help but feel it missed greatness.

Its GREAT Too bad that it was cancalled!!! It is So "true to Life" It depicks the the way things really are, for the most part!!! We know we live the Military life. We are pro-military but its true, War is Hell. Really wish they did not cancel this series, what a shame. Hey, maybe they will try again. We hope so and so do most of our military friends and family!!! Think about it!!!

I hate anything to do with war but even I was hooked as my son watched this. He wants to join the military and I think it gives alot more views about a soldiers life than he would get else where. I would love to see them bring back the series.

The show was great, but I have a feeling that it was cancelled due to the pressure from US govt, for obvious reason... ;) I've added it to my DVD collection!

It was a great show,but i guess it didn't fit in with what the anti-Bush clan wanted it to stress!!!!
