Love the wire but this glorification, with a pinch of sense of humor to distract from the horror of war? Doesn't work on everyone, not everyone is a macho marine who served and of course, they love the show, why won't they? To hide the guilt of war crimes and killing innocent people in the name of 'freedom' or the evil 'wmd', not the good wmd which they themselves sell. There is a reason why it's always the third world countries become a test subject for the weaponry, which they are going to sell to the world, a slideshow created with the help of patriotic men/women who believe or end up believing that there is always an enemy, but they do charity too, U. N's whole existence is to create the 'humane' look after the countries in the U. N completely destroy third world countries. It's like hail mary, after committing genocide.
The direction was almost perfect, very visceral and the actors were good but the whole point of war, or the feelings about the war was never discussed in a fashion that left an impact, instead it was like 'that's how it is' and never questioning. The whole thing about most of 'hajis' can't speak english or being primitive is just the way hollywood is, lacking to do its homework and still stuck with the cave dweller template.
