Greetings, As an ex-sailor, I have to say I was extremely disappointed with how stupid the sailors were in this show. The acting was okay, but the writing made all of the sailors seem like complete idiots. I really wanted to like this show and will probably watch a couple more episodes, but if the pilot episode is any indication or what the writers think of the US military it will fail miserably. And the CoB... Yes, they picked a great actor for the character, but no master chief would ever be that detached from the pulse of the crew, especially the CoB.

This is a fictional story built around a factual concept. History is full of examples of the military-political strategy of the "false flag attack". In this case someone has the balls to refuse to play along. Off to a great start - hope they can maintain the quality.
