'Unit's' military expert has fighting words for Bush
Via DU:
Another show I am going to dump!

I saw the first and part of the second episode of this series. I only saw part of the second because I couldn’t stand the LLL direction it was going. I liked the first show and thought it to be kind of a military version of 24. In the second episode we get a bitter taste of the LLL koolaid when an agent opines: “Why do they build churches here where they are not wanted?” Also the “evangelicals” being rescued are more concerned with the church building than their safety. Also the wives of the Unit strong-arm a new recruits wife into accepting base quarters rather than living off post. They also want to force this woman to meet a Senator against her will because she is from her home state. The woman doesn’t want to because: “I didn’t vote for her.”
Now I have the deepest respect for SpecOps, I thank God that they are on our side, and those that make it are among the bravest people I have ever met. But with all due respect to the SgtMaj he sounds awfully silly spouting off the LLL talking points in an interview. Granted he may have an opinion contrary to the Presidents but I am sure he can put it is his words and not those of Michael Moore, George Soros, and the MoveOn crowd. Also SgtMaj if you are advising a series how about not portraying EVERY negative stereotype about the military and maybe accentuate A positive aspect. Sorry but this guy sounds like he took a long pull on the LLL koolaid pitcher. Some quotes from the article:

“The reasons of this administration for taking this nation to war were not what they stated.”
“For the first thing, our credibility is utterly zero.”
“Tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis have been killed in which no one in the U.S. really cares about those people.”
“The only reason anyone tortures is because they like to do it. It's about vengeance, it's about revenge, or it's about cover-up.”
“I believe in the good and the decency of the American people, and they're starting to see what's happening and the lies that have been told.”

Does this sound like a retired SgtMaj or Al Gore?
