Title: Iraq Vet - "Over There" stinks
Review: I first saw this show within days of returning to the states after a tour of duty in Iraq. Me and other guys in my unit couldn't believe what garbage this is. Army life in Iraq is NOT like what was portrayed in this show. Real soldiers don't act like that. The equipment was wrong, the tactics were wrong. Worst of all, the dialogue was all wrong. I'm glad that FX canceled the show.It is clear that the script writers of "Over There" didn't do their homework. "Over There" is not the real deal. I suggest checking out the book "Jarhead" (Anthony Swofford) or seeing the recently relesed movie of the same name. Although it covers Desert Shield/Desert Storm from a Marine's perspective, it accurately portrays the behavior and emotions of enlisted soldiers even in todays conflict in Iraq.
Is the review positive or negative?
