I don’t know why. I don’t come from a military family, and while I married into one, my ex husband was not military, in fact he paid a psychiatrist to get out of Vietnam when his draft number came up. Seems like a reasonable response to me.
One of my brothers was a medic in Vietnam, my other brother wanted to join the Navy but was colour blind and failed the exam.
I spent a lot of time during the Vietnam war protesting it; I am quite the pacifist, so I don’t know where my love of military TV shows come from, but here are some of my faves.
I just caught up on all the episodes of The Brave. Sadly, I think it’s been cancelled. I liked it!
I’m watching Valor and it might be really good in a few seasons but probably won’ t last that long.
The Unit is one I really like.
I’m going to count this Canadian police show as well, Flashpoint. It’s pretty militaristic, in a polite Canadian sort of way. I love this show.
I know I’ve left a ton out; China Beach, Mash, Hogan’s Hero’s.…..………….….…….……….…….……….
