days of heightened airport security.

Lest anybody get the wrong idea: I love the show. Never miss an episode....




Figures...


Do you have a point?


IMHO that show is the most gawd awful show on TV, perpetuating the myth that the gov't will keep us 'safe' at any cost,
freedom be damned...

Then get a different government. Better yet, GO to a different government.
You are free to do so.

Still, it doesn't explain why you said "figures" to Mortimer's post. Are you
so familiar with his personality or behavioral profile to "figure" that he
would like a show like the Unit?

Well, some of us are able to tell the difference between reality and
a tv show.

I wondered that myself. Are those who happen to enjoy this show irregardless of
its warts in some sort of undesirable class? And what did I do to earn his
enmity?

That was a tactic used by Russian pilots in WWII. Just because they
ran out of ammo was no reason for them not to attack a German fighter.


It was also a tactic used by the Germans. They had specially equipped FW-
190s with steel propellers and limited armament. The plan was that they
would use their props to cut the tails off of Allied bombers. The German
pilot would then presumably parachute to safety.

I think he's just one of those liberal anti-everything-military that gets
annoyed when anyone in the military is portrayed to be hero-like.

If that show is representative of our military then yes you are right. However, I know that it is a fantasy show that in
no way mimics reality. The reason it is such a bad show is exactly because of responses from folks like you who seem to
think it is a reality show....

What makes you think that me or anyone in this thread thinks the show is a
"reality show?"
