12. LOL ! As soon as I posted the message and turned off my computer
I realized it wasn't over-----My Boston Globe TV guide showed it as a 1 hour show and when the helicopter flew off with the young man's body I thought that was the ending.

2. I've picking it up on cable out of Houston.
Two sets of warnings at the beginning of the show. The first was the typical warning. The second said something about extremely graphic video and language or words to that effect.

All Things Considered, February 18, 2005 ·

PBS will feed stations an expletive-deleted version of next Tuesday's show Frontline. The documentary A Company of Soldiers contains "raw" language used by troops in Iraq. PBS says it can't ensure that stations won't face FCC fines if the show airs unedited. Frontline executive producers say none of the expletives violate indecency rules. :smoke:

7. I heard what I though was "fuck" with a really rapid,
excited stream of orders after their Hummer almost runs over an IED. I haven't heard any "bleeps". This is the whole deal. Pretty intense.

13. What did you expect? We live in the bible belt.
The fundies don't want us to be subjected to bad language.

9. Don't forget the animal cruelty warning!
I just caught part of it when I walked downstairs ... but it happened to be the terribly sad part when the dog gets shot.

10. Someone just lost their cool
What was the deal about the guy who shot the dog being a Doctor?

Maybe he thought it looked Rabid? That's what one of them said.:evilfrown:
