I watched most of it too. I thought it was a GREAT lesson for anyone wanting to join the military. That it isn’t easy, it’s hard work, life is tough, etc. It may do more to DISCOURAGE those that are weak and prissy than anything else!
Like you, the dancing aviator gagged me the most.
The rest of the stories were HUMAN stories.
What goes on back at home and how those deployed feel helpless. Course their spouses didn’t help matters either. Complained and whined quite a bit.

Overall I thought it was a good show.

Mel Gibson was one of 3 producers, btw.

I saw that, too. Good thing. He was probably the right-ward balance to the shows.

Absolutely. And I fault none of the crew for having feelings and having to deal with their emotions. But they were, IMHO, completely taken advantage of by the producers.
