My SO has been getting the series from the library tape by tape. I think it is an incredibly well done series. My grandfather was a private in the Italian campain, received a purple heart and a bronze star with a cluster. None of us to this day know how or why he received these decorations, because he refused to talk about the war at all. I like the series because it gives me a sense of what my grampa might have been through.

As to the ongoing argument, here's my two cents worth: I would be willing to give my life for my country and my freedom, if the cause were just, and that goes for enemies both foreign and domestic. And for the record, I am a fan of neither G.W. Bush nor the so-called Patriot Act.
