Create a channel Learn moreThe World of Warcraft character yells his name before charging (ignorantly) into battle.And my closed captioning comes up with Leeroy Jenkins as the alert call. WTF?
The show is rather soft so far.
It is a good show. It makes me think of all of the wounded and dead that have given us what we have today. It also makes me think of the Med Evac PJ's during Vietnam. Seems that they had less ROE than these PJ's do.
Anyone remember the name of the TV series that had a MASH unit in Afghanistan with the Canadian staff?
It's pretty slow and a little overly dramatic for me to be honest. What I mean is they show the job, but then they add in all the dramatic overlay of the dangers they face during the missions. The missions I have seen so far are not dangerous as it's almost always picking up a casualty in a cleared LZ but make it seem like it's not. There are MUCH more dangerous missions these guys face without making the not-so-dangerous part seem more intense. I know it's for the show, but I was just a bit disappointed.
I've seen these guys personally combat land into large compounds through intense machine-gun fire that had us pinned down completely. They should do the Helmand guys... They have a much more intense schedule.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to let a crew or cameras go on just any PJ mission, especially those that are part of a JSOTF. These basic medevac missions though seem pretty reasonable though and I imagine the AF was seeing it as a win-win, giving the PJs a bit more high profile (helps recruiting) without potentially compromising the more sensitive stuff.

Craziest thing to me was how they have to search and disarm the Afgan soldiers they take on board, or even allow to approach the helo. Tough job is a big understatement-for all our Guys over there.
