"That's like saying that Battlestar Gallactica sucks because we all know our Space Shuttle and NASA aren't anything like that. It's fiction, meant for entertain not edjucation."

Some commentators point this aspect out:
This is the first time in history there's a TV series about a current war. The strange thing is that we have to watch a fictional TV show to know how it's going in the real deal. We're suppose to get the real news (nitty gritty) by watching the evening news, like we did in the VN era. Since imbedded journalists are limited to report only what they can see, so we turn to a fictionalized account of the real thing. Ironic juxtaposition.
