"Over there" GRRRRRRRR
Last nights show was so full of fallacies I don't even know where to begin.

I will start with the General coming to seeking them out to volentell them for the duty.
That type of job would be given to scout snipers.

Then the mission itself, trucks full of toilets? whatever, it wouldn't happen.

Then the portrayal of the General as the backassward pseudo roughneck with a room temperature IQ.
Although there are some not so bright officers out there, most are given administrative tasks to keep them out of operational decisions that may cost lives. Some not so bright ones get sent to oversee detention facilities and the like, not resulting in casualties just embarrassment.
Now if there was a real problem with the mortar attacks then the tubes themselves would have been located (easily) and destroyed (counter battery, air strike, ect).

If the spotter was thought to be held up in a house then it is a easy matter to roll down and check the house.

There was way more discussion about the morals of the mission then what would ever happen.
The squad leader would dictate, based on mission parameters of what action should be taken.

The Gals.........Grrrrrrrr, if I was a female in the military I would be pissed off (my wife is seeing red).

The ladies being sent off to draw fire, this is so far fetched I cant believe they really passed this crap off.
This would not happen, it is one thing to be ambushed on a convoy, but to be purposely send them to draw fire, that commander would be relieved faster then they could say equal opportunity.

There are to many other inaccuracies to list, I just wanted to vent on a few.
Overall, the troops are just not being portrayed accurately, the writers should be ashamed.
Grrrrrrr, that was the worst one yet, but not by much!
