Watch the video. I and my FRG watched this happen in real time. The best part? We actually got to see our Soldiers/Spouses. And our Colonel. He almost got dinged in the head by a kid with a rock. Luckily the kid had crappy aim and Miyamasu was ok.
For all of you complaining: it's a mini-series. What did you expect? And it was based off of a book written by a news anchor who probably sat on the FOB in the Green Zone the whole time. I can almost guarantee she wasn't imbedded with2/5, 2/12 or 1/5 Cav when they went into Sadr City...

Welsh, people. Not Irish, not Celtic, not Scots. They are descended from the Welsh. How do I know this? The "strange" language/words they are speaking are WELSH. The old customs are WELSH. The laws are derived from OLD WELSH LAWS. Their society is set up as ancient Wales was, not with "Clans", but with individual "Kingdoms" (at one point, in post-Roman era Wales, there were 9 individual kingdoms: 3 major kingdoms, Gwynedd, Powys and Deheubarth, and 6 minor kingdoms.)
The show really isn't that unbelievable, IF you understand the history behind the Farrell "Kingdom/Queendom". So, instead of slamming that switch you do not understand, educate yourself.

As far as modern attempts at storytelling for WWII go it's not the greatest. The cinematography was good, acting ok, storyline, meh.
I really wish they hadn't nicknamed Pitt's character Wardaddy as, the REAL War Daddy, the Ace of Aces, as he is known, CW2 Lafayette Pool was much more accomplished and one hell of a Tanker.
I absolutely loved Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds, but Pitt just wasn't able to bring that energy and attitude in this movie. Too much brooding. Pitt needs to stick to what he knows and not muck up Armor movies.
