National Geographic is a liberal organization. They are NOT airing the program so that Americans will feel good about the war in Afghanistan. Mark my words: this is a “feel bad” movie.

agreed. Watch the interview with the producer that was injured, it was all about them (the filmcrew). In afterthought he did remember to mention our troops

It was not a "feel bad" show at all. It presented the Green Berets in a very positive light, especially in regards to how they are trying to "win hearts and minds" and work with the locals against the Taliban. At one point, a ton of tribal elders showed up asking for help - that spoke volumes about our mission over there.
National Geographic also showed video of the Taliban in the pre-9/11 days executing men and women in the soccer stadiums.
