I am trying to bump this up because I didn't know anything about it. I am sure it won't beat out Friends or Survivor but these are the boys who put their life on the line. Saw some previews of interrogations of locals.

You guys, this is the show my brother-in-law is supposed to be on. I looked at the ABC website and his name wasn't listed to be profiled tonight. I guess he'll be on another night. I'll SCREAM if he is on tonight, because I'm not taping it. So far so good. I have a lump of pride in my throat for our troops. They are so brave. I would be wetting my pants.

Do you guys have a friendly ping list? Note...friendly. LOL I don't want to make anyone mad.

while transferring suspect a mother starts beating her son and tells him to go after them to get his father..they were in an area that could have been ambushed. The cameraman on this thing is pretty gutsy.

said pretty high price tag for dead americans and they had to be ever watchful

interesting show

now showing the job of intercepting ships for inspection of smuggled oil

I wonder if there is some message here that the Pentagon wants to send our enemy with these 6 shows showing the broad range of things we will and can do.
