Quoted:
I liked the first episode and will watch the rest, the ending of the show was tough to watch
Caught the first episode last night. Nothing but respect and admiration for those guys.
I couldn't do what they do, not because of the danger, the physical requirements, not because of the blood and guts or anything regarding killing the enemy. I couldn't do it because it would shred me emotionally. Seeing your brothers die and or become permanently maimed while on my watch, and me not being able to save them every time would fuck me up.
If I had a family back home that would make it 10x worse. I would break down and lose my shit.
I am usually never emotional about things that don't directly affect me or my family, especially something that is not happening right in front of me, but when that medic was loaded on the chopper and his squad was kissing him goodbye and then him begging for pain meds I teared up like a mother fucker.
